Since I see a post about acne on a partners butt in this topic area, how do you feel about flaws on your partner? Flaws like tiger marks (stretch marks), facial scars, burned over large areas. Not only women but men can have them too. Could be acne, scars, anything that's visible. No ones perfect. Would that effect you talking to or staying with someone once you saw it. I alot of people hide these type of things until the relationship gets to being intimate enough to see them naked if it isnt already visible.

My last GF was a 6' tall, slender, stunningly beautiful woman...........BUT she'd been in a REALLY bad auto accident when she was 20.
It left her w/ not only facial scars (small, kinda cute actually...I thought they added to her beauty, rather than diminished it.), but also w/ some very large surgery scars on her leg/hip where they had to insert a rod & do reconstruction.
She thought it was a HUGE deal when we first became intimate, but eventually realized that, to me, she had such an amazing body that I didn't even notice them. Still wish she didn't have to move across the country for her job......but I doubt her next partner will notice them much either.
He'll be to busy thinking what a lucky bastard he is to be w/ her at all.

Wow, that's was good of you to over look that, beside that wasnt her fault of what happen to her, but many people do stress out about it for wanting to have someone perfect who can walk around in a bikini or stress out about their partner seeing those kinds of things. Some people are very shallow when it comes to physical flaws.

I hope so about that sexy part. plus a lot of women have tiger marks (growing up marks, stretch marks, whatever). Some men are really shallow on that subject, then some arent, they are just happy with having a good woman that it doesnt even matter.

She was SMOKIN' hot in a bikini, I mean 'boys walking into palm trees' hot...just wore the "skirt" bottom kind to minimize the hip scar.
The point being; she was WAY more concerned over it than anybody else was.....especially red-blooded males!

BTW ~ You're gorgeous, don't let the boys dog you about your fine self, if they can't see a sister that's got it goin' on........then you need to find a better-quality man.

Thanks, I'll be the first to admit that Im human and have some tiger marks from having my little one but it's never been a problem, All's I ever heard was (so what) about that from a man when he saw them. But probally just like the lady you were talking to, probally bother some of us more than the man. But I have heard some shallow ignorant guys talking about other women and how they want this and that. Plus I've known a few women who had got injured or had operation that were hidden under there clothes that couldnt wear bikini's or hid those areas.

It's true, nobody on earth is perfect (aside from my little girl of course). Physical flaws of any sort are easily overlooked. Whether or noth they are from nature, an accident... whatever. They do not and should not define the person.

i believe by my age ,most people have a scar or two , And a woman's stretch marks aren't the 1st thing you notice, maybe not even the 2nd, It just you learn to look past the little things, and see the big picture.

Physical flaws never really bother me. If they can't do anything about them and you like the person then you should just deal with them. I had a GF a few years back that was a hot redhead and always wore classy outfits like knee length dresses, business suits but never wore anything "revealing". I found out she was caught up in a high speed chase back in high school with a drunk friend driving that ended in a bad crash that nearly killed her. She got lucky and only had minor cuts to her face so you couldn't tell they were there but the surgeries to fix broken bones and other internal injuries left some bad scars.
I happened to notice one on her knee one day and asked about it and she showed me the rest and told me what happened, even had the newspaper clips and pics from the hospital. I always thought she was beautiful with a great body and personality and when she stripped to show me the rest of her scars I looked at them, traced a couple with my fingers and told her she was still hot and had nothing to be ashamed about. They weren't as bad as she acted like they were, as least in my opinion.

I have always been attracted to terribly deformed women. You know, those with large protruding breasts, sunken waist, horribly flat tummies and long legs. Just because they are deformed and so badly flawed doesn't mean that they don't need love too, does it?

it depends on the person and how they carried themselves. if he was very self conscious about it and paranoid i would be worried that he would be comparing themselves to others and getting jealous. if he was comfortable with himself, id be comfortable with him. and if it happened to someone i loved after we were together, i would let him know that he was still the same person to me.

This is a very good question. Since people with physical flaws are self conscious about their flaws it becomes a mental problem as well as a physical one. I know this is not quite the same as two people being attracted to each other, but when I was a child before he died I slept with my grandfather who lost his leg in wwII. I felt sorry he lost his leg and I could feel where it stopped when we slept, but I loved him. If a person can fall in love with someone with any flaws then they should stick and the flaw never be a problem. Then again my grandfather was well adjusted to his missing leg, but if the physical flaw is causing the individual serious mental problems that can be hidden then what would you do? I've stuck twice and only regret the time lost to find something really meaningful..Both ladies are still my friends though and the parting was of mutual respect.

We're all human and all have flaws. My ex and I were freinds for a while before we got together, and he was born with a pretty severe cleft lip and palette. He had scars on his upper lip and between his lip and nose, and I can honestly say that it was never even a consideration for me. I fell for him before he even kissed me. I will say he has the softest lips ever...I miss that a little.

I had a wreck that f**ked up my face and no matter what anybody says. It matters.
Until the wreck I was popular on DH, since then I have been pretty much ignored...
So the answer to your question is easy.
Scars and disfigurement takes you out of the picture completely.

Bullshit Stress!!!!!!!!!!
A. You are not ugly. Get over it and quit yer b*tchin...DAMMIT! Seen your after pics, darling, and you got nothing but scars that make you look more like a rugged sexy man...get used to it. I wouldnt run away.
B. We all have physical flaws. Some are easily overlooked...some SUCK, I wish I had my perfect flat stomach back. Its not. You gonna run away? EWWWW...she has a tummy!!!
Yeah....Im thinking, Not....I think the whole package is pretty damn good, and my imperfections, which I hate, btw, can be easily overlooked for my good points.
Perfect, I am not.
Perfect for someone?
Yes.
C. You love someone for their heart and personality, that is what counts. Not their good looks. YES, you are attracted to people for their looks at first, of course. But that comes second to the rest.....its a starting point...for sure....
Anybody who just cares about the perfection of their partner? Is shallow, superficial and basically, needs a trophy wife or husband.
D. Awww hell...I got no D.
Have to get a nap before shoveling in the am....

I consider physical flaws part of the intimacy. I must admit I kinda like the idea of having some small part of a woman which nobody else has access to. A private space of ours. Some flaws could be a turn on in this regard, a sense of personal fortune. I'd be walking around with a 24/7 grin.

Flaws are nature's way of giving us a shot at quality people as we age.
When the big cats get old, we hunt for the antelopes that limp. Paul McCartney raised this to a fine art when he married a supermodel with one leg. By the time you reach middle-age, anyone under 45 who hasn't been thrown face first through a windshield or has to ride in the back of the pickup, is "cute."

When you say "Physical Flaws" to me it almost implies that there is a "Physical Perfection", a standard that I don't think anyone could hold muster to. Everyone’s ideas of flaws and perfection are products of their social environment and what they were raised to see as attractive and are as diverse as there are people on the planet. I have had women tell me I was attractive and almost within the same instant be looked down on by another as substandard and trivial at best. We are unique. I look for an intelligent woman who can challenge me philosophically, intellectually and sexually. I do not however consider aesthetics a deal breaker or maker. It's how one thinks about themselves that highlights or hides "Flaws".

scars , burns , surgery marks, growing to fast marks,i can deal with,
hygiene issues or something he can take care of going to a dentist
or dermatologist... yea.. i have an issue with
also if weight makes a man look like he is carrying a 10 lb boy and
his chest looks like its lactating... yea i have a problem with that too.
but that is it... i have dated very short men, men who have angular looking
joints, skinny men. big ears, big noses. super big hands... big feet..
some men would definitely win the weirdest toes awards...
but these are things they are born with...
and i am not making babies... so conformation would not be an issue with me.
just want to have fun and enjoy the last years of my life with as little stress

well if your in a relationship and you love the one that your with..any physical flaws should not matter. We dont fall in love or love someone because of what they look like. There are some of us that have stretch marks, birth marks, etc. But that does not make someone less than a human because of it..SEE..the media has a lot of us thinking we have to look a certain way to be accepted by others and I think it's so shallow. I accept people as they are
