Question for all guys!

I defer to Tracy Morgan on this one (from an interview with Elle magazine):
ELLE: Is there any physical imperfection that would disqualify a woman from being on a magazine cover, but that you consider enormously sexy?
TM: What you have to understand is that my thing is not glamour. I love stretch marks and C-section scars and all of that. I’m a grown man. You don’t gotta put on no makeup with me.0 -
No they wouldn't. Real beauty goes far beyond the skin!0

Do you care if a girl has stretch marks?
Pretty bad ones, not just little tiny ones that are barely visible.
Nope. Chances are I'll get sick of her personality long before I would her stretch marks.
:drinker: Cheers to flat out honesty!0 -
I have to be honest, and say Yes. Can't get over cellulite either. Now that I wrote that, It seems pretty shallow. But I'm also honest.0

personality wins for me every time.0

Negative. You are who are.0

If you are with a guy that cares about stretch marks (no matter how bad) - its probably not gonna end well in the long-term anyway.
For me - who cares!!

I look at the whole girl and see how much she makes of what God gave her.0

All you guys are awesome on here that said stretch marks don't bother them! :drinker:0

Not one bit0

I've answered this question before, but I'll state it again. Every stretch mark my wife has, she got from having the three girls that I love. They were the greatest gift I have ever received and my wife's stretch marks are a reminder of that gift. I love every single one of those stretch marks and the young women that they represent.
That is a sweet answer..well said0 -
the answers that have been posted by the men here are AMAZING! Thanks for being real men!!0

FYI: I had some pretty bad stretch marks and they have reduced with a Loofa scrub and Vitamin E oil applied to the scars 2-3 x daily. It takes a while, and they never really go away completely, but they did reduce. Emphasis on it takes time: At lease 6-12 months to see results depending on your age. Works on Breast stretch marks too!
Also, my husband has never commented on my body other than to say that I am much more critical than he is and that he loves me just as I am no matter what size, shape or marks. All the men who commented here so far are "real" men, who understand what is important in life! Thank you so much!
I have to agree with this. I oil my body down everyday after I get out of the shower and the oil I use has vitamin E along with a lot of others in it and I did see a change in my stretch marks.0 -

Honest and Brave....
To each his own.0 -
Love seeing them on my wife, though she's really worked at toning and looks amazing! Reminds me of our equally amazing 11 year old that is a blessing in our lives.0

awwwwwwww.. that is an amazing answer.. your wife is a lucky woman!I've answered this question before, but I'll state it again.

Wow! You deserve a hug for that response! Wow!0

ditto .. I had 9 pregnancies in 16 years ..yeah I have stretch marks.. they used to be really bad but have faded with time.. does my husband care?. has he ever?.. did it change the way he sees me NO NO NO.. Real men know that real women have curves and mommys have stretch marks..
Also, my husband has never commented on my body other than to say that I am much more critical than he is and that he loves me just as I am no matter what size, shape or marks. All the men who commented here so far are "real" men, who understand what is important in life! Thank you so much!0 -
Um...here goes.
To me stretch marks along with blemishes, freckles, scars, rolls, droops and whatever else are..............erotic in a way.
It shows the person is real and that possibly the emotions and interactions are more believable.
Don't get me wrong, I like perfect bodies. They are very nice to look at.
But there is something that trips an extra trigger when the person seems more "real life".
I hope what I'm saying is understood, if not, just ignore me.0 -
I don't care about stretch marks on someone else, but I'm instantly sad every time I look in the mirror and see them on myself.0
-
Doesn't bother me in the slightest. It's not really an indication of how you look after yourself, so it's not something that would turn me on or off.0
-
Wish this site had a like button. Wow. What great answers. I'm impressed.0

I don't care about stretch marks! My wife has given me 3 beautiful children and it really did a number on her body and her skin. She is the most beautiful woman I know! Also I have stretch marks and there is no way I would look down on anyone that has them too! It's is a right of passage for a woman and if a man can't see past that he is a piece of crap!0
