How do men feel about stretch marks on women?

[curiousagain]

If I notice them, it's just a reminder that I am with a woman and not a child, and I am thankful for that.

I have a few scars from surgery, motorcycle misadventures, farm life, and knife. I haven't heard anybody complain about them, just ask. I think everybody who has any maturity whatsoever won't be "bothered" by them so you shouldn't be either.

[Jamie&Kieth]

This is Kieth, the wife (Jamie) does all the responses and voting, I am your basic 100% USofA Approved #1 LURKER. Oh yeah I like reading this board and cruising around because I actually feel normal. And if anybody can come up with a politically correct definition of the word normal I would appreciate it.

Anyway, yup the wife, or Jamie has had 4 kids and her best friend and her husband, who used to play hockey with me has 3 kids. YES the wives have stretch marks, who wouldn't if you are over 40 years old?

Ok they still look pretty damm good and the sex with them is fantastic. They also take pretty good care of themselves, they eat right, exercise daily (does not include sex) and are pretty active in their respective towns. Both of them are soccer moms, one is hockey mom, one is ski mom-bunny and both of them are field hockey moms. So there minds are fit and there bodies not hard not soft but nice.

Oh when we took our daughter to college this fall, there was this big cookout for parents, faculty & students. I saw this one kid trying to "hit" on the wife, Jamie, not playing the tease, but certainly had fun letting this kid thinking he was picking up a hotty. My daughter goes up to this "kid" and says "oh you know my mother?" LAUGHING ... He was my daughter's RA in her dorm! DAMM never saw a boy get so red so fast!

Bottom line is they're not couch potatoes (we only have one TV with one station ... has reruns of the blizzard of '78 in Massachusetts on Channel 7) and our friends have a TV but no cable, they have a satilite dish but is still lying under the tree with a big dent in it. They are pretty active.

So you have two choices live a healthy life and minimize the stretch marks or become a Baby Huey. Jamie always says I am too blunt but this is my take on it.

I think people who look real look sexy.

You can bet that when you have the screen name "jstlkng" (just looking) that you have a lot of experience looking. This morning I was laying in bed watching my 59 year old wife getting dressed. Those lovely breasts sag just the right amount. That smooth belly she used to have has a few stretch marks from the three great sons she bore me (a pi, a marine and a lawyer if you have to know). Her face has a few more wrinkles than she would like but its not from age, but maturity. And whether she is dressed or not, she is still the most beautiful woman in the world. Of course I am prejudiced but then I have loved her for over 40 years...oh that doesn't answer your question does it? Would your stretch marks bother me...I make love with my eyes closed...enhances the experience tremendously and helps me not be judgemental. Soldiers come back from war with scars (men and women) and it somehow makes them more beautiful to everyone. Wear your stretch marks with pride...you are a beautiful person...eyes open or eyes closed.

ps: I expect the next thread will be about weight...for the answer see above and make the necessary word substitutions.

It doesn't answer his question...but it is a wonderful definition of "true love". It made me tear up, it is so beautiful to read. Thank you..

That pretty much says it.

I wouldn't worry about them.

[Borntobees]

Mrs. Borntobees has some marks but, to me, they are scars of honor. They wouldnt be there if it wasnt for our great children comming into the world. We both agree that the marks are sexy because of they what symbolize.

We have played with another couple where the wife had a c section scar. It was sexy to me as well. Again, symbolic of the sacrifice women make in having children. Women are great arent they?

[sereneiders]

I have a thrird arm poping out from my left shoulder, and no one ever cared!

Now, seriously, we live in a society whit a strict concept for beauty as a goal to reach.... by means of buying every product they may sell with an human "model".

But we're not buying goods, we're all human beings with ald the brands the experience across our live leave in us as a reminder, you cannot expect to find out the same features in a 20 years old swinger than in at 70 years old swinger, and the sex is part of our entire life, no matter how old we are.

If someone expect to find a partner fitting a particular expectation, like not having streetch marks, he or she will look for younger people, and if someone looks for people older, then it is expected to find out these sort of features.

So, don't worry about it.

Speaking as a man...and a dad...I'm VERY tolerant of changes in a womans body that come about as a result of having kids. If your husband says he doesn't notice them, he probably doesn't.

My kids mom put on quite a bit of weight during her 2 pregnancies, but she was never more beautiful, to me at least, than when she was holding our babies in her lap.

No shit...really.
