Please do not be afraid to hurt my feelings. I can take it.

Don't feel bad quite a few people have stretch marks. My ex has stretch marks on his hips and stomach and it is just from growing fast. Don't be embarrassed just be honest with her. If she has a problem then it is her loss.

If she has cared enough to be with you for five years then i'm sure she loves you for who you really are anyway. After being with you for that long i'm sure she sees more in you than what's on the outside. Have confidence in yourself.

Thank you for understanding. I still havent got the nerve to open up, but I have to do so. I don't consider it to be my fault really. I think it is just a skin issue that I have. I will seek to figure a way to just break it to her. It is so embarrasing though for me. It has been a problem with alot of things in my life. Never want to take my shirt off and I am very shy with new aquaintances because I figured once they seen that, they would have no interest. Sucks because I am actually a pretty well built guy(6'1" 235) and cannot even feel good about working in the yard with my shirt off. I see other guys way bigger and fatter than me without these so I have a hard time understanding why I was dealt this card.

Stretch marks are a results of rapidly gaining or losing weight. During this time the stretch marks can be avoided by rubbing on 100% pure cocoa butter 3-4 times per day. Not just applying it, but rubbing it in until there is nothing left. However, your stretch marks are already established.

You can make the stretch marks nearly disappear by doing the cocoa butter now, but it will take a solid 6-8 weeks. If there is any scarring then pure vitamin e oil will do the trick. Buy some vitamin e capsules (usually used for injesting), but crack open the capsule and use the pure vitamin e oil inside. Will work for any type of scar you might have.. (i..E previous wounds, acne marks, etc.)

your other option is laser surgery, which is actually not that expensive for the benefits. Your stomach will probably cost around $2000 cdn or so.

Also, i'm sure she will not mind the stretch marks... Most girls have them on their glutes, and it's not uncommon to develop them on thighs and stomach, even breasts. You just have to let her know how much it bothers you.

If it makes you feel any better, i'm a personal trainer and I bodybuild. I went from 158lb up to 241lb (almost 100lb) of muscle with little fat in around 2 years. There was a 3 month period where I put on 40lb very quickly from eating like a champ. I look good, but the stretch marks I have will put yours to shame i'm sure. My biceps each have well over 200 strech marks... My chest has around 20 each, very thick and long. My stomach also has some vertical marks that are very noticable. My calves, thighs, ass... Heck, even my knuckles have little stretch marks on them. And yeah girls have commented on them, but hey... Take me for who I am. I'm only human. I'm still training pretty hard, but I know as soon as i'm where I want to be I just need the good ol' cocoa butter and vitamin e oil and my body will be all cleared up. :)

plz reply me as soon as you can thx

I am 17 years old and I am 6'6" and I weigh 270 pounds, my back and shoulders are covered with stretch marks. I know how it feels to look in the mirror and see what it looks like. Any kind of changes to the size of your body can cause stretch marks, from muscle or from fat. I think that if your girlfriend cant get over that, then she is not worth it.

I'm 23. same as OP my first time I've noticed stretches on my body when I was 13. I have stretch marks all over my body: belly, legs back, shoulders, biceps. (and not forget to mention I have really light skin and sometimes marks turn red no it's really freaky). I've never ever had problems with any girls dues to stretch marks. Girl think differently. Male's care about women looks/body more than girls about our bodies. There is an old wise saying "scars make men handsome". Be confident about your body and everything is going to be fine.

Guys, I want to tell you that it's not that big a deal. I wouldn't be horrified if I saw stretch marks on an otherwise fit body. I wouldn't run screaming and never want to see someone again. BUT, the reason I know I would accept them is because I am plagued with them too from pregnancy. When I went to the doctor for the first time after I had my son, he actually drew back a bit at the sight of them. I'm not fat, but that extra skin, and those thick dense stripes will never be right again. I had some years where I was in a very bad marriage, and I stayed because I was just sure that no other man would want me. I want to tell you that it's not that big a deal, but I can't. It's a very big deal, to the person who has them. I have tried many things. Nothing made any kind of difference. Mine are 14 years old now, and I hate them now as bad as I ever did. I sure never seems like anyone else ever has them, at least not like I do. I might actually like it if a guy had a few flaws. It might make me feel better about my own. Just be sure you are not judging the women you see by the standards you don't want to be judged by, and I think you'll be fine.

SESAME OIL daily as a ritual - you should see results in about a month. and forgetaboutit! Is an awesome thing, a guy over 6 foot, he can grab up his honey and carry her like a baby doll. who gives a crap about stretch marks, which are only about the history of the body's wear and tear. With women, we have the war stripes, earned with the perpetuation of mankind. What greater medal to wear?
Get a little bit of sun on that body and it will make no difference!
God bless!
