anyone who has had a baby probably has stretch marks (unless you're lucky) so my question is this: for the men, do they gross you out or bother you in any way? please be honest, we won't get mad! ok and for the ladies, are you self-concious about your stretch marks or do they not bother you? remember, be honest!

Strech marks dont bother me at all, realy the only hang up I have is women who dont look after there bodys. Other than that its all about who she realy is that turns me on.

Being a father, I like them and what they represent.
I find them beautiful and love kissing them.

I look at them like wrinkles...you really can't do much in the long run to prevent them...It's all about genetics really.. You can try creams, etc...but once you have em, why worry about them... Be proud of them..You had a baby...Just try and do something about those parts of your body that you can.

not at all. the last girl i was with her um Husband ( well i'm sure you guys all read my other posts lol sorry if you haven't) made fun of her for sher marks. i would kiss them and tell her just how beutiful she was in my eyes. SOmetimes its our imperfections, that make us who we are. although streach marks are definitly not an imperfection.

i dont find them attractive in them self and think the same girl with out them may be more appealling (body wise)..... but they wouldnt (and dont) bother me a bit. Then again i'm not a father but i can totally see how they can be attractive when its a result of your kid so maybe someday my whole view here will completely change.

My personal opinion.... dont worry about them, I'm not a thing of physical perfection and dont expect anyone else to be either.

Myself- I've had stetch marks even before having my kids. I'm a little self conscious about them, mostly during summer or something. But overall, they're part of who I am and I'm finally accepting that. My friend's husband called them "love marks" when she freaked about hers (really low self esteem), she finally began to accept them then, especially after she saw her daughter.

I was so worried about getting stretch marks before the birth of my daughter. Then one day, I resigned myself to the fact that there was nothing I could do about them. Who cares, it just part of nature. I never did get them after having three children. However, I think they can't possibly make someone less attractive.

my ex said to me one night, "i cant beleive you still have stretch marks." DUH!!!!! they are scars, they dont go away!!! what an idiot. it hurt my feelings so much, we got into a huge fight and he left in the middle of the night. he also would compare me to other women whose stretch marks were supposably not as bad as mine were. oh and the worst part is, the reason i had the dang things is because i carried HIS daughter for 9 months. no wonder i'm not with him anymore.

To Holly: Honey...you have such a beautiful heart, mind, soul and spirit. I betcha those stretch marks look quite sexy. I don't have any stretch marks. Lol. I definately am self conscious about a few things. I think we all have something.

Just to add....Those stretch marks are there to just remind you of how much the love and compassion in your heart has expanded.

thank you morethanfriends

to Cathleen, I don't blame you for being pissed that your ex made that comment how rude!!! I am self conscious about them, but have never had anyone point them out or make comments. Bottom line is, I would take back my pre pregnant body if it meant giving back my babies :)

Some stretch marks can be a turn-on depending on the nature of it. For example, some men have them on their shoulders, and I take it to mean that they were a result of rapid muscle growth.

I have some on the front of my hips and that's because I grew womanly hips practically overnight. I really don't mind them. But I also have one (yes, one single inch long mark) on my left knee, and THAT bothers a little.

Heh, I knew this guy who told one of my girlfriends that they were his "tiger stripes." I think that's a good attitude to have with them.
