How disgusting do men find stretch marks?

I have a lot of stretch marks from puberty and gain weigh. Now I’m slim and they are still here. I don’t believe that “most men don’t know what stretch marks are” and I don’t really care about how they’re natural and etc, bc it doesn’t make them prettier in my eyes. I don’t need a perfect prince or whatever bc I’m not a princess too. Be honest please.

They’re very hard to notice, and even if we do notice them, I’d say 8/10 chance he doesn’t care if it’s not 9/10. But I’ll be honest - it’s true that most of us don’t even know what they are. It will definitely bother you more than it’ll ever bother him, assuming he cares at all

Many men, i think, like the natural look. As long as you are proportional and look healthy, you should be fine.

If you want an ideal shape, it would be the pear shape.

In my case they are very noticeable and deep. They’re already white but you can easily see them without even focusing on my legs. So I kinda can’t imagine how sb wouldn’t be disgusted.

Yes, but some believe that stretch marks make you look dirty and I would agree bc back then I let myself gain so much weight that the situation with my puberty went even worse than it was.

Just avoid those men then. They sound like losers anyway so not worth your time.

Those boys are clowns. Men dont care about stretch marks. If a woman has a nicely shaped body, men don't care about marks.

Ugly red, pink and when healed white stripes on the skin. They can be very deep or not but in any case they have texture, so when you squeeze this skin it looks deformed.

you said ugly in first word so they might definetly be. but if you cant remove them you should not worry.

Men are not immune from stretch marks themselves either, I think it is important to remember, but why would you worry about someone's opinion if they base it purely on how you look? Be yourself and the right person will come along :smile:

People have preferences. If he is disgusted by my skin, it doesn’t mean that he is bad. Or that he can’t see my beautiful features. But it wouldn’t completely change his perception of my skin.

Actually I’m more worried about the number of them bc even my mother has lass stretch marks than I do. Imagine me after getting pregnant in the future - it’s a nightmare. It’s impossible to erase them completely bc scars are scars but in my case it’s not a priority. Moreover, I don’t earn enough to spend so much money on my skin.
I realize that I can’t really change anything at least now and I did the best I could in my circumstances - lost 20 kilograms but it doesn’t really help bc I’m already dirty.
