My 17 year old nephew has stretch marks. I have seen a lot of men with them. They are usually from belts or pants rubbing all the time. Sudden growth or weight gain. There are a few lucky women that have elastic (stretchable) skin. Some are solid skinned and have no choice what happens to them during pregnancy.

I am no man, but have seen many friends and aquantances with boob implants. Not pretty. So obvious. It makes me feel bad that they do not see how unreal they actually look. Especially from the side.
Now...that being said, I have seen maybe a couple that have that natural look. A really good friend of mine (and I love her dearly) has them. She isn't really big...but they feel terrible. NO I DID NOT FEEL OF THEM! It was a hug that made me notice how aweful they felt.

It is ashame that women have to feel like clothes and fashion in general is a good enough reason to go under the knife. Not to mention there is upkeep on boob jobs.

When my mother was having surgery for find out if a tumor was cancerous in her breast, she didn't know if she would wake up without any breasts. She had the choice to get reconstructive surgery while she was under.

My father and mother both decided that if she were to have a masectomy (sp?)while under the knife, that she would NOT have reconstructive surgery. My Dad did not want her to have to go through that and he didn't care if she did not.

Luckily, she didn't have cancer but it was stressful beforehand.


I'm sorry to hear that about your mother.. but happy to hear that everything turned out wonderfully for her and her loved ones. As for your father.. sensational.. just how a man should be when he loves his significant other.

I myself had surgery when I was 20 yrs. old. One of the scariest things I've ever gone through and the first female in the family to experience such. Thank God it wasn't cancerous.. However, I suffer badly with fibrocystic breast disease and I'll never know when I have to have another surgery.. unfortunately for me, I now have it in both breasts (if they were to have to take one or both) I don't think it would make much difference for me (considering I'm quite petite as it is).. but I always remain positive and speak of great faith! So along with all my beautiful stretch marks.. I have a nice 2" scar :wink:

Okay.. so I'm curious of the guys thoughts/opinions here about Stretch marks and Breast implants.

I find it quite humorous really that men say how much they love a womans body.. yet, at times are the ones who bring up her getting breast implants. Now, don't you think that's a good enough hint that he's not satisfied with what she has (or doesn't have)? Do men seriously care that much about how big a females chest is?

Then we have those out there that are "grossed" out by natural changes of ones body. You know, not only women get stretch marks.. and not only are they caused by them having children (as not all women get them during/after a pregnancy). Not only that, but young children (pre-teen/teenaged girls especially) are likely to get stretch marks just from growth spurts/puberty. They're also caused by weight gain/lose and the list goes on..

Guys.. what are your thoughts about these 2 topics (honestly) bigsmile

flowerforyou I'll put in my two cents, here.
I prefer to connect more on a mentality level than looks, but good looks are important too, at least to some degree. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want my significant other, if I had one, to age so naturally in every other way, but have perfect breasts at eighty, seems to me that be a little creepy!? Both of my LTRs' came into the relationship with children, and the stretch marks were definately not a dealbreaker, though I do remember myself at times thinking they were less than attractive. Still wasn't a deal breaker, and I couldn't say it to them, even when they'd ask that "loaded question". Would that be considered dishonest, or just avoiding bad feelings over something so trivial to the well being of the relationship?
