What do you think of stretch marks on breasts? Do they concern you?

Stretch Marks - Guys?
-
Lol, thanks. I don't really care about trying to get rid of them. They're supposed to fade with time anyway.You're the most insightful person on these forums It's pretty funny how so many girls and guys stress about their bodies when most of the time the opposite sex doesn't see it as a problem.
-
Yeah. sigh Oh well.I heard tanning helps fade them too, but since I'm usually so pale, the only thing I'm brave enough to tan is my legs, otherwise it just might look weird.
-
Yeah. What do guys think about your own complexion skin vs tans?
-
Tan skin just looks healthyBut it's really not. Ask any dermatologist.
-
lol ok
-
The very fact that the skin changed colour means its not healthy and that some damage has occured (sorry, but tanning (in a bed or natural) drives me crazy.

**I have stretch marks on my breasts and tummy after having 3 kids.........a lot of women have them, and i dont' honestly beleive it matters to most guys, i mean lets face it they will be looking more at your nipples than the stretch marks LOL ** :grin:

Hey, you said "Tanning will make them less noticable." on 12/3.Some sun exposure is good (vitamin D, anti-depressive, etc.). Sun tan is unhealthy for the skin. I've seen too many middle-aged-and-older pale people who look like leather bags. Just ask any dermatologist. That golden tan is a recipe for wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancer.But if you're going to do it, it's better to ramp up to it rather than fry yourself all at once.There's some ingredient that's used in sunscreen in Europe that you can't get in the U.S. (forgot what it's called...it's not yet FDA-approved) that's really good at stopping long-wave UV, which it turns out, causes a lot of damage.I once was taking a certain antibiotic that made my skin sensitive to the sun, and I went out to the beach without thinking, for the day. Even with plenty of sunscreen, I got toasted, so you gotta be careful.> failed attempts at arguing. Have we not had our coffee yet this morning?

A lot of people have posted about stretch marks....it's worth doing a search...Stretch marks: someone posted somewhere the names of a few cremes that are supposed to be effective for stretch marks. Mazkat said: "a lot of people say creams work(you can buy special creams or for exapme you could use a moisturizer with cocoa butter etc)", and Java_Addict replied: "actually they really do work, they got rid of mine in weeks".Grvtykllr suggested something that lightens scars, but supposedly works on stretch marks also: "I dont know what its called an its about 20 a tube, but if you ask the pharmacy they can direct you at it. I bought some for my son after surgery on his throat. Its helped a great deal in lightening that scar that bothers him so much because of its visability. It says it works on stretch marks as well, worth a try?" DxLISHxISx_43 replied: "I believe it is called Mederma."Just some thoughts.

I had to smirk then laugh out loud. So true Wally.
-
Got anything useful to add to the topic, or you just going to be pissy for a while?
-
The latter, sir. =)OK OK, my conscience tells me I should mention coco butter in it's purest form. It will help with minimizing their appearence. As far as I knoe, they don't go away completely.Oh and Helms, you don't like tan lines? I find them to be so sexy on girls. As if looking at something taboo, or forbidden. I grew up on the beaches of Venezuela where I believe I developed this fetishism, at 4 years old! Damn I was a horny little bastard!!

There's nothing like the fine, leathery complexion of a 60-year-old woman who's spent her life working in the fields. And guys with red necks and farmer's tans are just irresistible.

"People of color" will be far less affected by years of sun exposure than white, or less pigmented people. If you watch the Travel Channel and see the Tribes in Africa, S. America, Pacific Islands, and so on, you will see the women have beautiful complexions. Sometimes the men to, as in the Wodabe tribe of Niger, I believe.
Not everyone ends up like Leatherface or Farmer John. And we're talking about cloudy, rainforrest type places, where the sun is magnified by the particles of moisture in the clouds, making the sun rays more intense and harmful. -
Do "people of color" get nice tan lines? People with dark skin suffer less than people with light skin, but they are not immune from sun damage. People with dark skin still get pre-cancerous and cancerous skin lesions, mainly from sun exposure. Skin wrinkles are largely caused by sun exposure.But I agree that people with dark skins are affected less.

I have stretch marks on the side o my ass and the inside of my knees, from developing muscle at a young age. I used to get asked a lot if I used to be fat!
-
In reply to:"People of color" will be far less affected by years of sun exposure than white, LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE! They dont realize how much they are being affected by the sun because they cant see the dramatic results that white people can. They are affected the same.

Iv had younger girls, nice firm younger girls with perfect boobs and no stretch marks and tight stomachs I could bounce a quarter off of them. They were wonderful.My G/F has stretch marks on hers, and her stomache. I didnt mary the young ones with no kids and the tight bodys, I am going to marry the one that had kids, that has the stretch marks.They really are not a big deal, that shit happens, I expected it with her since Iknew she had kids when I met her.But shit oh dear, those young tight fine girls were a hell o'loto' fun and I shall always miss em.

the danger of the "bad old sun" is very real - but not to everyone.That's true in the sense that radiation exposure is "not dangerous" to everyone. The problem is that if you're a bullet dodger, you're not going to know until you're either afflicted, or until you die of something else, whichever comes first.In my father's case, he started having problems with non-melanoma skin cancers starting in his late 40's. He was pretty pale, but you don't very swarthy yourself. My mother had pretty dark skin, but she didn't spend that much time in the sun, and she had good skin until a pretty old age. A close friend of mine has pretty dark skin (Greek/Italian mix) and loved to lie on the beach, but by the time she was in her late 30's, she had clear evidence of sun damage on her exposed areas; her ass was as smooth as a baby's. Yet she'd always give me a hard time for bathing in sunscereen (Not that sunscreen is a panacea.)...and then she'd complain about wrinkles on her neck and upper chest!She acted like she was addicted to sun exposure. Apparently it can be habit-forming. Three people don't make a good dataset, but they seem pretty typical. I can pretty well guarantee you will see damage to your skin (at least small wrinkles) by the time you're in your 50's.[ The American Cancer Society Web page on skin cancer.]
