Guys - would you take a woman to bed who had stretch marks if the rest of her body was okay? New to the dating scene after many years, and I'm extremely self-conscious about my stretch marks.

My wife has pretty bad stretch marks from our daughter being born seven months ago. I don't think it takes away from her beauty, just the opposite. Its a constant reminder for what she has given to me, making me the luckiest man in the world. But maybe I'm biased because she's my wife.
On a personal level, I wouldn't rule dating a woman with stretch marks. I'm not physically perfect, why should I expect a woman to be?

I don't really care about stretch marks and I am sure that alot of older men (over 30 years old) wouldn't either. If you have a good personality and can attract a man with your clothes on, then the man shouldn't care either.
Look at your positive features not the negative ones. Do you have nice hair, a nice smile, soft skin, are you easy to talk too. That matters more than a few stretch marks.
If you are that self conscious about them, don't show them. Wear a dress or shirt that hides them until you are comfortable with this man and then it wouldn't matter to him and if it does, then he isn't the right person.
Keep the positive side out in front.
Good luck.

Hi!
Stretch marks or no stretch marks if I like someone it would not matter to me. If it matters to a guy then he is either one of two things......immature or conceited. Someone you probably know would not be worth your time. I have dated many single moms and have been attracted to them regardless of stretch marks or anything else. If I feel a certain way for someone then this makes no difference!!
Hunni I would not worry the right man for you will love you...stretch marks and all included....you are someone special and this will only make you moreso in his eyes.....!!
Good luck and I hope this helps!!

I would if I was looking for sex before marriage, I suppose. The more pertinent concern is how you got the stretch marks. If you have one or more children, that fact would be much more likely to turn me away than stretch marks. I'm just not into paying for someone else's irresponsibility, that's all. If you were a widow, then I guess it would be somewhat different. But if you just had children with some chump who you shouldn't have been with in the first place, I would be much more critical. Sorry. Good night!

It is dependent upon the person. If he is shallow and handiest cares approximately bodily appearances, then you definately should not be with him. You would possibly wish to re-keep in mind your priorities, additionally. You simply had a little one final month, and you are worried approximately the semblance of stretch marks in your frame? What approximately problem for the little one's wellness, your wellness, the little one's progress, making plans for the little one's long term (economic and or else), and making the little one your total precedence? Now that you are a mother, it is time to keep in mind the better photograph.

To me, stretch marks are just fine and all a part of life in our time. Just thinking about HOW you got them has me oddly aroused...lol..just kidding...please don't be so self conscious about them......not ALL men are looking or expecting Miss Perfect Body. Good luck and welcome to the land of the living dating scene.

I don't think that there would be any problems. Don't let insecurities show up. If you are insecure about yourself (in this case about your stretch marks) she might sense it and it might result in her feeling that they are something bad.
However, if you don't mind it, and you don't make a big deal out of it, she might not make a big deal out of it either.
With that in mind, I personally think that if she really cares about how the stretch marks look and she gets really bothered by them, then you need to find someone who isn't. I am sure she's not the only fish in the ocean....

Why don't you come here and find out?...lol. Seriously, of course I would. I've done it many times already. It's not about the stretchmarks, it's all about you and who you are. Obviously, if a guy makes a big deal about them, then he isn't worth being with.
