I have a 43 year old brother who is lonely and looking online. He is debating whether he should mention in his info that he is scarred. He was burned as a child and his burn scars extend up the lower part of his face. On one hand, he knows that his scars are a turn-off for some and would like to weed out those who could not accept them. He is tired of women who see his scars and suddenly decide that they want only friendship. On the other hand his scars are not who he is - they do not define him. He would like to meet and get to know others as a person, not as a scarred person. He does not want anyone to feel sorry for him; he does not feel sorry for himself. I am sure the same issue comes up with people who have any number of physical problems. So, would you send in a picture that shows the scars or mention them in your description? If so, what would you say? And if not, when and how would you mention them?
