    When my boyfriend was ~23, he went from being downright bony to VERY filled out in a short period of time. (Late bloomer... bless his heart) He has some marks in various places as a result. Honestly, I never even notice them anymore. I adore him. What should something like that matter?

    It would be awesome because we could totally compare ours! My husband has some on his bum, and they are adorable.

    I'm really glad you asked this question. I have stretch marks on my stomach from when I was really overweight (33% body fat! YIKES!!) But this is good to know that they don't matter.

    Not that it matters, I'm married, but it's still nice to know that they don't matter to the general public.

    This is pretty close to the bottom of the list of things that matter to me about a man.

    I've heard it often said... "stretch marks are battle scars"... I couldn't agree more... they are proof to the world of where you were and where you are now. So no, they don't matter.



    YES. AGREE WITH THIS 100%.

    i was also very over weight i have them in my back and dark and my belly and little on my shoulders but it think the shoulder
    is because my muscle are getting bigger
    but me as a guy idk i dont think it bothers me if a female has it

    I am MORE curious to know how much they matter to you guys when WE have them. I have lost a lot of weight. I am getting pretty hot. But I am SERIOUSLY stressing about the stretchmarks on my upper belly that will never go away. I want real honesty here........

    No stretch marks does not matter on a guy.......Wait until he see mines....Probably has nothing compared to what I have lol

    I completely agree! We've earned these "tiger stripes".

    honestly women love imperfections on men (scars etc...), especially if they are near perfect...no I wouldnt mind stretch marks.

    Definitely doesn't bother me. I had stretch marks develop during puberty, before I became overweight or pregnant or any of the things that typically cause them. I accept them as part of life, on myself and on anyone else.

    I got mine during puberty too. My hubby has some as well, they don't bother me at all.

    I have my own tiger stripes..I hate them. However, a person having stretch marks would never make or break my attraction to them. Honestly, I doubt I'd even notice.

    My body looks like a google map with all the stretch marks...but I look at them like this.....I have them because I brought life into this world....with that life, came weight gain....and I fought the weight gain...beat it to a bloody pulp. The marks are my battle scars.

    Be proud of them...they mean that you are human. You've either gained weight and lost it...or was tiny and gained....or you were short and grew taller...grew muscle..had a kid....the list goes on.

    I wouldn't notice. And even if I did, there is no way they are worse than mine

    they would only be a detractor if the guy had an unattractive personality.
    otherwise that kind of thing does not matter much to me...

    Definitely don't mind, as most have said I have them too. Though with mine stretch marks are probably the least of the "scars" he was special forces ....so :)

    I completely understand how embarassing they are. After two children, my stomach is no longer the flat, smooth beauty it used to be and let's not mention my chest area either...
    I would never be so shallow as to look at them as anything other than what they are: a fact of life.
    I remember in middle school and high school, one of my best friends was an amazing athlete. She was also TINY. 5'3" and wieghed maybe 105 on a good day. She had stretch marks. Some of them are heriditary.
    Either way, there's nothing that can be done about them and they don't detract from who you are. My husband has them on his chest and arms (from building muscle) and even on his tush which I think is hilarious because he doesn't have much of one. Many men get them in those areas and I think it's kind of sexy because it shows hard work.
    The ones that are from shrinking should be worn with pride too because it shows you have been busting your butt to make progress.

    The last thing I'm worried about is if a man has stretch marks. Hopefully he feels the same way

    The only people who don't have stretch marks are photoshopped models and celebrities who can afford to make them disappear.

    They are a part of life. I got mine when I went from 5'4 to 5'11 in a few short years. I got them again after I gave birth. I didn't get a single stretch mark during pregnancy but life decided to give them to me after she was born. I have stretch marks on my chest for nursing my baby for a year. I wouldn't be so shallow to be turned off by them. You could be passing up a really great person because of it.

    Stretch marks wouldn't bother me in the least. A lot better than a lot of tattoos I see. I'm not against tattoos (my bf has one), but some just are not at all attractive to me. You can't help the stretch marks.
