stretch marks!!?

[merchantofvenice]

pretty random
but are men totally put off by a woman with stretch marks after a baby?? my bff is totally worried about post pregnancy dating. (baby 18mo now) I told her not to worry... but it would be nice to hear what others think.

i mean she is gorgeous..but she reckons that if she gets a bloke home, and takes off her clothes he'll be :eek:

Can i ask-what does bff stand for?!

I doubt many men would be put off to be honest, not if they really like you and arent shallow. Besides-hopefully you get to know a man first properly before stripping off?

keely.

bff...best friend forever x

ahhhhh hope your bff finds someone special,
until then the dating game is hard and there are few alot of frogs to kiss first.
ive always found subtle lighting and a great push-up bra does da trick!!!
have fun!!!

Well my second husband wasn't put off and believe me my stomach looks rather like a map of Great Britian.

I've got quite a few stretch marks post pregnancy and my husband hasn't run off yet.

Would your friend really want to date a man who would potentially leave her just because she has a few stretch marks? Sounds like that kind of man would be high maintainance generally and would recommend her to steer well clear...

PS. Stretchmarks fade to almost nothing after a few months anyway. Mine are hardly visible 8 months on.

i got stretchmarks all over my stomach from age 16 from fast growth (not even from being overweight/pregnancy! how unfair!)
anyway, i'm 30 now and whilst i don't love them, they've never affected my sex life!

I wish they disappeared.....i'm 35 and still hanging onto mine, although they've now gone silver and wrinkly!! I never even thought about it whilst i was with my ex. If i were to meet someone now, stretch marks would be the last thing i'd worry about....saggy boobs is more a concern:D

Mentioned above about 'push up bra's' or 'wonderbras' yeah, the wonderbra right enough, take the bra off and the man will wonder where they went!:rotfl:

^ ha ha ha i had really bad marks after my first baby 4 years ago. They were just starting to go when I got pregnant again but after my 2nd was born they were fading straight away, i use palmers butter formular for stretch marks and i think that it works. my husband doesnt care about them but i do think id worry if i was a single mum
