Men, what do you think of stretch marks on a woman?

Genuine question, I am insecure about them and hesitate about intimacy.

Depends how bad they are where they are obviously.

Also obviously, at that point very little really matters tbh... It's like 'oh, ok, she has stretch marks there'. They're not revolting like acne, and don't mean that in a hyperbolic manner but I mean quite literally spots can make you grossed out looking at them but stretch marks never do... Unless they're really really pink and really deep. But even then if they're just on your legs it should be inconsequential.

I have massive (slightly faded yet still quite red and deep) stretch marks up the side of my abdomen...
When I was really young I was incredibly skinny (had a food problem... not an eating disorder just a bit of a thing with food) yet at 14/15 I suddenly filled out with larger than average size hips and breasts, and because of that I have very large stretch marks up the side of my stomach/abdomen...

because they are big and deep would this revolt you... I mean I couldnt prevent this happening to my body, and it makes me feel so insecure to think men are judging me because of something which was out of my control yet I now have to live with it.

Very normal unless they're insanely deep for some reason it really really doesn't matter.

Any bloke who wants kids is gonna have a big problem if stretch marks affect his view of a lass.

They're nowt. Don't worry about them.

I can't say they've ever bothered me; I don't seek them out or avoid them. They're a fairly normal thing which most women have to some extent (and men, of course, indeed I have a few myself).

Its incredibly normal, especially if its from teenage growth spurts as your skin often doesnt have the elasticity to stretch that much!!

I understand how you feel having such deep and bad stretch marks makes me so insecure.

i don't have stretch marks, just a lot of scars all over my legs. I've found that guys either don't care, whether they're into you or not. YOu may think that everybody's thinking about it but they're not, they just think 'oh she's got stretch marks' and that is all :smile:
