I prefer women with imperfections (eg. cellulite, stretch marks). Am I strange?

It's hard to explain.;( I don't know anyone who is like this. Other people look at celebrities or porn stars with perfect proportions and amazing bodies and visually prefer them to regular people.

I prefer regular women with imperfections like cellulite, stretch marks, chubby tummy and other imperfections. I search out pictures and videos on the internet of regular people naked or having sex rather that pictures of celebrities or porn stars like other people do. Many guys don't like looking at cellulite or stretch marks but I find women with these imperfections sexy.

Is this strange?;(


I wouldn't say that is strange at all. I think all it means is maybe you have not been influenced by the media's portrayal of women and what is ''sexy'' as much as everyone else has (: wtg

Why?


Because it was like saying " well, chocolate is bad for you, and here's why. But god I love chocolate."

I don't mind stretch marks, but not cellulite.
Everyone's different. Sometimes I look in the mirror and think "huh, my acne scars are actually kind of cool. They make my face look a bit more interesting!" And sometimes I like to think that my stretch marks are scars I got from fighting off fearsome lions!


I've never admitted that to anyone before. :frown:

Well it certainly is unusual but that is a good thing too, people watch porn/ movies and expect regular men/ women to be the same, they consider any less to be bad. There's definitely nothing wrong with you! Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder - I find myself really attracted to girls with short hair (Like Frankie Sandford) I don't know why but I find them so, so attractive! Obviously girls with long hair look great too but I always find myself attracted to people with shorter hair - my friends think I am weird but I don't care lol

No no no, that's what it's supposed to be like, the idea that some celebrity is more attractive than a normal woman is what the magazines want you to believe. The reason people are given to finding them attractive in a wholesale kind of way is because their bodies are presented as a clear focus of any picture or style of dress. Therefore their physical attributes become a target for "displacement" of their high social status, which is what admirers really find attractive.

Not to mention the matching hypothesis, which says we are most attracted to people who are in the same league as us, doubtless because of the increased possibility that the fantasy might become reality.

Finally, watching porn and admiring good bodies is so hugely far removed from the experience of real-life sex that it's a complete fallacy to compare them. I might like to look at stunning people, but if I was actually in bed with them I wouldn't have a clue what to do.

For example, take Lovefoxxx93. I have always preferred girls with supposed skin imperfections such as acne scars and freckles.

I suppose there is also a certain sexiness about knowing about someone else's imperfections which they cover up from the wider world.

Everyone has imperfections but I know what you mean- strangely I'm not attracted to dazzling women who are considered "perfect" by others.

No, you're a godsend!

:smile: I wish more people were like you. Then we could all be happy with our own bodies.
To be honest, people who prefer the impossible look celebrities have are deluded.

Watch a music video. Do the following three things:

- count how many camera shots there are (how many times the camera moves)
- notice the make up in each shot. Every shot, the team remove all the stars make up and then re apply it.
- notice the camera light tint to make their eyes shiny and attractive

My dad worked on sets for these things. Even someone like Simon Cowell, every advert break on the x factor, has someone run out and redo his makeup. Once I even saw his assistants give him a hair cut during the ad break.

So. I prefer real people tyvm.

Yeah people eat chocolate all the time despite the fact it's bad for them because it's ****ing tasty. That's not a good analogy though because an attractive person with a good personality isn't bad for you? :confused:

But anyway it's not like I can say "I prefer average looking people because they usually have better personalities", but then disregard a person with a great personality simply because he happens to be attractive. The whole point of it was that personality matters more than looks. :s-smilie:
