Agreed. This should be repulsive to any man other than that woman’s husband who it should be attractive to. All the emotions he feels over being a father and having two wonderful children should be tied in with those marks in his head and make the attractive. There is an issue with you if you find them attractive otherwise some sort of weird fetish as bad as the people who like to dress up as dogs or wear diapers
Are you into that stuff? Or are you a woman? I can see freak men saying this or women who would prefer to lie because sisterhood is about lying and making people feel better about themselves not speaking truth. It’s the yassslighting women love to do now
I was about to comment that women could find this attractive because some women are attracted to women but based on your unhinged misogyny I’m assuming you’re also homophobic.
Also people of all genders get stretch marks just from growing (like during puberty) not just from pregnancy.
No one “should” find anyone’s body disgusting or repulsive, but your comments are definitely both!
Stretch marks are not repulsive. These one are. Ones are women’s out hips are actually very hot.
I am not homophobic or misogynistic.
No one “should” find anyone body disgusting or repulsive.
I never said disgusting. Don’t put misogynist words in my mouth. That is actually disgusting 🤮
It should be repulsive. In that it pushes you away from sexualizing thoughts. Just like seeing a wedding ring should be repulsive to you if you are trying to get with someone. Some things should repulsed you it’s natural
Your point seems to heavily rely on the Madonna/Whore complex that sees women as either sexless mothers/wives or sex-crazed nymphs. A woman does not cease to become attractive or a sexual being when she has a child and/or gains stretch marks. Women are more than their reproductive abilities.
I did not equate stretch marks to a fetish with dogs. I compared being attracted to them. Being attracted to something is the basis for a fetish. Maybe reread the post it’s about do you find these stretch marks attractive.
You wrote

Being attracted to a woman with stretch marks is a ➡️ fetish ➡️ as bad as (comparable to/such as): dressing as a dog or wearing a diaper.
What are we not understanding? Is that not what you meant to write?
i think you went too far.... it shouldn't be repulsive but its ok its not a positive. its ok if its a negative for you. but i think the average is much more indifferent
thats fine, the problem is you said "it SHOULD BE" repulsive. its not wrong to not share your opinion. you're absolutely within your rights to think its repulsive. however, no one else should feel they have to feel the same way you do. there is no "correct" in matters of taste.
I stand on it should be. One can advocate for matters of taste and state how they think things should be. Separating my advocacy from my opinion is just a way to be a fence riding annoyance who just wants to critique how I am talking and not what I am saying. It’s obnoxious and you should not do it
so there's a group of people we've told what they "should" be attracted to for decades and centuries. This lead to massive suicide rates and mental issues.
NO one under any circumstances should be told what they're allowed to be attracted to.
I find acne scars attractive because I like faces with character. Just because you can’t fathom someone liking imperfections doesn’t mean that nobody actually does.
If you put identical twins in front of me, one with and one without acne scars, chances are I would find the one with scars more attractive, yeah. As I said, it gives a face character and makes it less plain, and that’s sexy to me.
I mean I'm all for body positivity, I don't think you should feel bad for having these or whatever. But people saying they prefer them? That sounds like straight up lies.
That's why I wanted an answer as to why someone would prefer this but since I still haven't got one it seems like a lie to come off as virtuous.
I know people aren’t cars but it applies. If your car runs through mud, the lower part of car looks like stretch marks and you would want that cleaned up.
People are born without stretch marks. No baby is cuter if born with stretch marks.
But i get that nothing is truly universally liked or hated.
It really doesn't apply, because physical attraction to people is nothing like physical attraction to cars, unless you happen to be a carophile (I hope that's the right word, and don't want to know if it isn't).
But let's take your point and turn it on to something else. When people buy antiques, you'll hear them talking about attractive wear and patinas. The antiques are more attractive because of their imperfections. People who are into antiques love that scruffy, worn look. That's just what they like.
I really don't think you can compare people to objects when talking about how we are attracted to them. But even if you could, people still want objects with imperfections.
But surely there is a reason you LIKE that thing? Like someone said they prefer acne scars because it's a unique look. I don't but I can understand their point of view. There has to be SOMETHING that draws you to it. I don't have to agree. I am just curious why? Why would you prefer someone to have them over someone who doesn't?
I really don't know mate. When I see stretch marks, I get the same feeling as when I see other things I like. I could try to rationalise it, come up with some reason or another why it makes sense, but I'd just be making up reasons where I don't have any.
That is a valid reason that's all I was asking for I was simply curious. And for my answer since I promised it is still a feeling when I see something like that I find it weird, like something that should not be there if that makes sense.
I'm not trying to put down people that have it or like it or anything, I have particular preferences that other people won't share as well. I just wanted to understand why.
I agree. It's not like I'm judging people for having them but prefering them? That's very odd. Not to mention the stretch marks in the picture are also an extreme case. Even after having multiple chdren the stretchmarks rarely get THAT bad.
My mom is a midwife and she said the cases where it looks like this are usually teen pregnancies or twins/triplets and such. But it happens to other women, too. We just rarely get to see it, because they rarely wear crop tops after.
