Do guys care about stretch marks? I'm really insecure about mine and I feel like I should warn the guy before we hook up or something.

First year university I was a chunky monkey and gained a good 40lbs. I went from 180 lbs to 130 lbs in a few months and stretch marks showed up like delayed I guess because they appeared when I had already dropped the weight.

Anyways, I have a few like silvery marks under my belly button that I'm really insecure about. Also if I sit in specific ways my skin on my torso looks a little loose. Not noticeable unless I am sitting hunched over. But I'm still insecure and frustrated about both. I feel mad I let myself get so chubby because I ruined my body basically for curly fries.

Sorry I keep rambling. Anyways, this guy who's probably the hottest guy thats every been into me wants to hangout and I actually like him a lot. But I don't want to go through the heartbreak of someone commenting on them or not wanting to be with me because of them. He seems nice enough but I have guy friends and I hear how they talk about girl's bodies you know.

I don't want to sentence myself to a life alone by being scared to show guys my body and whatever, but I'm very hesitant. Do guys care that much? Like would it be a deal breaker? Should I tell him ahead of time so he doesn't think I catfished him? He is in my classes so I can't really deal with seeing him everyday after this if he decides I'm gross.

Nobody can speak for literally every man in the world. Most won't care or even notice.

God I hope not. It'd only be a deal breaker if he was unbelievably shallow. And if he is, then that personality should be a deal breaker for you.

> Should I tell him ahead of time so he doesn't think I catfished him?

This is not catfishing. Catfishing is when you lie about your identity. It is totally normal to not immediately volunteer information about your body you're insecure about.

Keep in mind he's insecure about his own shit too because everyone is. All of us are imperfect and anyone who pretends otherwise is delusional.

If he acts in the way you are afraid of then that is a RED FLAG and not normal.
