Scars are masculine
Chicks dig masculinity.
Therefore chicks dig scars.
So by this logic....
Gay men dig stretch marks.
I am guessing logic isn't one of your strong suits, because you seem to have all the logic of a bag of potatoes. there is nothing inherently masculine about scars.

I can see you saying something like nipples are feminine
males have nipples so all men are females.

I beg to differ with "pretty much every woman". I know MANY who didn't get any during their pregnancies. Lucky ladies!!!
Also, there are different degrees. Some chicks get only a few that can easily covered by their panties. I still consider this lucky. Then there are some who get a crap load (I would be one of these) that cannot be covered no matter how high the waist of the pantiess are. LOL

Hey, just finished reading everyones comments! Phew lol! My stretch marks really bother me, im 22 and dont have children but due to wieght gain and loss i have them on them on my thigh and calfs! The ones on my thigh's bother me the most and i often cry about them! I was'nt big but id put on a few extra pounds while i was with my ex when he left me i could'nt eat for 2 whole weeks and as a result lost wieght far to fast! I feel like the whole relationship with him as scarred me for life and that no man will ever want be again! Once they see me naked they will think yuk and run a mile! Iv showed my mum my stretch marks and she said they dont look that bad but to me they do! Plus mums would'nt admit to them being bad cus they dont like to upset their children! So i dont believe anyone when they say that there not bad! This is such a sensitive subject for me! HELP!

I agree with you here.Unless a man has actually been in the delivery room and sees the pain a woman goes thru,then they will see that they are truelly a badge of honor as you say.Lets not forget those cesearean badges of honor either.Power to the woman and thier badges!!!!

my stretch marks are bigger than your stretch marks.... :-)

seriouslly though....i think they are awesome. it reminds me of how much a woman's body changed while giving birth. it's like a tattoo but done naturally.

are you kidding me?
these guys who say it doesnt bother them are liars plain and simple
stretch marks are kinda gross yes, but they can and will go away
if they arent there is only one reason for that, and that is fitness plain and simple
the cremes and ointments are to replenish your diet that you are either neglecting or just dont care about

then excercise brings back the elasticity of your skin
but they do go away no discussion here

They bother me less as I get older. What’s even worse than stretch marks is loose, flappy skin. But really, it isn’t on my list of top 10 things to avoid. What does bother me is when she insists on having the lights off or wearing clothes to hide herself when we’re intimate. If I like you enough to be there, don’t insult me by trying to conceal your perceived imperfections.

No, it's true. I typically don't mind! No lies.

It would have to be pretty awful, and I can't imagine that.

Infact, I LIKE some of them sometimes. But just to be a pig, I'll say especially on boobs.

ooh i remember reading a short story one time. i forgot the name of it however it ends with the husband caressing his wifes stretch marks. it said something like this is the road that led us to where we are now. I am super lucky to not have gotten them during pregnancy, but i am a lotion fanatic. appreciate a woman for who she is. not silly imperfections.

apparently someone doesnt know what there talking about because they dont have stretch marks and havent done research.....stretch marks never go away,the most they do is fade color....no amount of creme or ointments can make them vanish if this was true we all would be broke from buying it

If stretch marks bothered me that much I'd never have a date. I don't have that many dates to begin with, but stretch marks have nothing to do with it. I'd say my problem is more because of having part of my leg missing. No creams or lotions will bring it back...LOL.

Awww thats one of the nicest things I've read by a man, for you to have this sentiment toward stretch marks I'm very glad there are men out there like you, its nice to know. Having a child of my own, I have them and worry about them but when I think of it you are right about essentially having something beyond the physical, because its this that matters the most.

I say if a guy wants to say I have to be a fit, smooth, beach bunny to be attractive enough for him---> I say he has to be fit, no beer belly, no balding hair either or else I might be grossed out and leave him.

xtangent, why do you care what guys think? A majority of the time, a guy will not even notice a woman's stretch marks. To them a naked women is beautiful. Confidence is sexy.

"Crazy" darrell...you are very mistaken. Stretch marks do not go away, no matter how much cream you smear on them. Fitness has nothing to do with it, as a matter of fact many bodybuilders have stretch marks from gaining muscle.

I am very fit and eat healthy but still have stretch marks from my pregnancies. Shrug. No one is perfect, not even those playboy models (it's called airbrushing!)

Ointments are a waste of time , I think you may be able to get a TCA peel to remove them , you can buy the chemicals on the internet , but warning be careful , I have not used this myself.

This wont help you but is a prevention that I found worked for me I have had *?* children and at one point went up to thirteen and a half stone, to prevent streeeeetch marks I used to place a bottle of olive oil in the bath water , When when I got out I rubbed the hot oil in all the succeptible areas, I never let the skin on my tummy dry out , like exercise it must be done regulary, its very soothing as well !! oh dont foget your back and tops of your thighs. You can get your husband to rub the oil in thats also nice hope this helps julia x

Stretch marks are cute, and add character. It's reality - women have them.

Blowing raspberries on them usually gets a good laugh as well.

That's beautiful. The female body does hold and manufacture children. And that is where most stretch marks come from. Where we guys can point to our scars and say that we got this and that in a sporting event, fight or accident, most women can point to their stretch marks and say, "This is from my oldest child and this is from my youngest!!" They have given birth and life, so there is real beauty to them. There's nothing more you can say to that.

Hey, I am in my mid 40s and date mostly women of similar age, most of whom have had children and have stretch marks. If you have had children and don't, you are lucky, but if you do, it doesn't matter to me. So you may have to retire the bikini, but I am not looking for a model, just a compatible woman.

That shit works for sure. My oldest daughter' mother and my youngest both used vit E and neither of them have any stretch marks. . . . still as hot as they were before havin baby.

I personally dont find stretch marks to be that much of a issue, its a GUNT that turns me off. there are women with stretch marks, then there are women with those flab pockets that flap around. and THAT is what is a turn off. who gives a feck about stretch marks.

its kind of tricky,in a womans favor actually.
By the time you see them your getting laid so its a push really.
but it depends on the severity of them, ive never seem a real bad case like a road map, but thats what cocoa butter is for.Ive seen them on dark skinned girls and they look bad, especially black girls.
