No. Stretch marks are a part of life, like acne or pesky nose hairs that make you sneeze when you pull them out with a tweezer. If a guy stops making out with you because of your stretch marks, he's a jerk and/or secretly gay. You don't want to be with anyone who would dump you over stretch marks.
Also, chances are they aren't as bad as you think. You live with your body every day and obsess over every little blemish and imperfection. When we get you out of your clothes, we aren't thinking, "boy, I wish she didn't have that tiny mole on her back." We're thinking, "NAKED WOMAN." It's like a banner that flashes through our head eliminating every other thought.
And, look, we also have plenty of body imperfections that drive us crazy. Guys worry about what women will think about our guts, our backne, our front-ne. We know what it's like to have a love/hate relationship with our own body. When the right guy falls for you, it's going to be about more than just your body. He's going to love everything about you, including the stretch marks.
If it really bothers you, look into ways of getting rid of them or minimizing their appearance. There are creams, scrubs, and other things you can use. In extreme cases, there's surgery. (Apparently they use lasers now. What can't lasers do?) But, honestly, it's not that big of a deal. They're very common. Pregnant women have been dealing with them for decades.
Focus on making yourself the best person you can be, and try not to obsess over minor things like stretch marks. Try to improve your confidence and self-image. Stop saying that you're "gross" and "cellulite city." After all, you don't want to give yourself worry lines. I'm kidding!

It's nice to know that guys are worrying about their OWN tiny little imperfections...I think us girls don't really consider the fact that you all have things you don't like about yourselves too. It's good to remember that we really are looking more closely at ourselves that anyone else will--especially the person who loves us.
oh boy, I hope this is true! Although there's a little, determined corner of logic in my mind trying to convince the rest of me that I'm not one disgusting, walking, talking flaw, I find it so hard to be proud and confident about what I'm presenting to others, namely the opposite sex. I'm desperately trying to get over my own self-consciousness enough in order to have a go at the happy, secure lifestyle and self image I've always wanted, and this entry has given me hope that maybe the rest of the world doesn't see me the way I see myself. Thank you, Nick. (:
you say guys worry about stuff too, which is nice to know but girls are especially good at that. almost every teenage girl goes through phases where she hates her body, i dont think its just to compare what a guy goes through to that..but im a woman...what do i know
Silly question: Um, yea...
The only difference is some guys will put up with it. That narrows your dating pool a bit, but hey, that's life.
Cellulite reduction plagues the minds of most women who suffer from it and it affects about 80% of the women by the time they reach their 30s. Men also suffer from cellulite but they are fewer in number. It is the appearance of cottage cheese or orange peel like dimpled skin on the thighs, stomach, buttocks and other areas of the body. It consists mostly of lumps of fat that have got trapped between the connective tissues under the top skin layers.
I feel like you could probably teach a class on how to make a great blog. This is fantastic! I have to say, what really got me was your design. You certainly know how to make your blog more than just a rant about an issue. Youve made it possible for people to connect. Good for you, because not that many people know what theyre doing.
you should not worry about stretch marks because if the guy realy likes you he wont care that you have them
Kass, shut the hell up, have you ever heard of the saying " if you don't have nothing to say don't say it at all."
