Re: Stretch marks.
I'm a girl and I say no.
Last year I gained horrible stretch marks from the tiniest growth spurt in both height and weight. They go white-ish after a while so they're not as noticeable. Try not to be self conscious or bothered by them. My current boyfriend and one of my exes had them too, and it's not something that ever bothered me about either of them. If a girl judges you on your skin she's a d*ck and you deserve better.
PS. I use Bio Oil on mine and in some places it has worked really well. So I recommend getting that if you are bothered by them. Go to Amazon they do it way cheaper than anywhere else I know. -
Re: Stretch marks.
I've got them, they bothered me at first but they are nearly invisible now. I don't really care, the majority of people have got them, perfectly normal.
Mine are similar to this - http://stretchmarktruth.com/wp-conte...odybuilder.jpg
He's a bit bigger than me though

Re: Stretch marks.
I have a few faint ones between my bicep and armpit - came about a few months after I'd first started working out - fairly normal stuff really (went on holiday a couple of weeks ago and discovered over half of my 12 friends I was with had pretty visible ones at least on their bicep and some on their back).

Re: Stretch marks.
I've had them for years, I can't remember when exactly but around the time I entered puberty I noticed my fair skin seemed to have alot of them. I love being fair skinned but its a pain in the arse honestly sometimes when it comes to these marks ( mostly a sleeveless dress for me ). I also go horse riding though and I know a few girls who have said they have alot of stretch marks.
upper arms/shoulder
hips/thighs/oblique
boobs ( no lad as ever made a comment but sometimes i feel there is more stretch marks then skin )
even the back of my knees has them
I use boi oil and palmers. Lots of body moisturiser aswell.
The only one who has ever said anything nasty about them is my mother. she basically picks on every flaw i have.
I don't think people would mind if anything they are more understanding if they have them. If they don't I don't think they would let a few little lines turn them off. I hope so anyway -
Re: Stretch marks.
Unfortunately I'm somewhat prone to them on my delts/chest, lower back and side hips. Luckily they are quite light coloured so not immediately obvious, but still noticeable. However no one has ever said anything negative about it. Girls don't tend to bother with these things if they like you enough.

Re: Stretch marks.
My skin is completely non-elastic so puberty has been a complete bitch. Despite having an athletic physique most of my life, I literally look like a zebra without a shirt on. I have them everywhere, arms, sides (ribcage), hips, back....It's horrible. I'm somewhat envious of the morbidly obese people who have zero stretch marks.
