what do people think about stretch marks? could you ever date a boy or a girl that had it?


Back in ye olde days when I had a 6-pack, I could do this trick where I could push out my stomach and look pregnant. Did it one too many times apparently :eek:. Anyway, they went away. Aren't they supposed to never go away? Maybe it wasn't really stretch marks. Hmmm.

On topic: doubt it would bother me that much.
they fade anyway, and i think you'd be hard pushed to find someone without a single stretch mark... I haven't known it to bother anyone yet!

lol I think every girl and probably a lot of boys have them, it just means they have gained or lost weight. They only occur in places like thighs or buttocks so no one can see them and I dont think many people would dump someone if they found they had stretch marks lol

most girls have them on their hips/breasts...it just indicates rapid growth/loss so obviously going from being a skinny boy-looking child to getting a woman's figure results in some stretch marks. but they fade anyway, and no one really cares.

Let's hope not - otherwise there would be a lot of single people out there :biggrin:

I must have never grown quickly as I dont have a single one! But, on topic i wouldnt find them that bad, but i dont think boys get them as much..
nothing wrong with stretch marks, we're only human. and even supermodels have them.

Ah, there's still time though!

They fade, become less visable overtime so shouldn't cause many problems. I got them when I went through puberty but they aren't very visable now. I really don't care about them.
Aww yeah, I also have stretch marks along my arm for a few inches, just under the armpit, from a shoulder dislocation a few years ago. I consider them to be cool though, like battle scars :p:

I dont see a problem with stretch marks.

I have quite a lot, on hips, shoulders, couple on underside of arm at elbow...fading slowly. Guess I got them when I put some weight on (was doing lots of manual labour, developed quite a lot more muscle))
For this reason, I would see no problem with them on a gf, because (as has been said), lots of people have them

That’s true, if you spend all your time at the gym, you get stretch marks.
