what do guys really think about cellulite and stretch marks?

guys are lucky because rarely do men have cellulite and severe stretch marks. i've read from a couple of male bloggers that they don't really mind if their women had cellulite or stretch marks and i was thinking, "Really??" isn't physical attractiveness a main factor in initial attraction? wouldn't guys really prefer to go with the smooth skinned girl on the bar stool rather than the cellulite ridden girl beside her?

Hi Jan the stretch marks on the thigh and arm pit will occur to those youngsters who scratch constantly at the time of attining maurity. But stretch marks around the belly will occur after child birth. I dont prefer my women with stretchmarks around the belly.

Ensure not to scratch your belly when feeling itchy, instead apply some good oil or cream when you have scratchy feel.

As Scarlet said above these things really shouldn't matter to men but of course they do to some. As for your husbands reaction to you getting a bit of cellulite, it really shouldn't be a problem as after all it is you the person he loves and not just the skin you are in. After having three kids and being on the larger side I have my fair share of both cellulite and stretch marks but my fiancé has no problem with either of them and it is not something that he has had time to watch appear and get used to that way as I already had my children before we met and my weight/body shape has been going up and down for many years.

you are lucky to have such a loving guy. i guess my husband loves me too. i'm just a little paranoid you know. i get this feeling that some guys' eyes just wander off to sexier specimens. sigh, but cellulite and streatch marks are really part of our lives..... thanks for dropping by :)

I am going to answer this one the way my boyfriend would.."men shouldn't really care about things like cellulite or stretch marks..well, real men don't..a real man knows that stretch marks came from one of two things..either the girl was small and now she's big..or the girl was big and got smaller.."

well you are lucky sahira that you have such a great care who doesn't care at all. i have to warn you though. i've been doing articles on stretch marks and i read that they are difficult to get rid of because they are actually inner skin scars. i believe though that there's always a solution. i hope you will be able to find the right solution for your stretch marks
