Stretch marks..

Someone at work mentioned today how she is dating someone new and he made a nasty remark about her stretch marks... which got me thinking does it really bother men that much?! Most women get them from pregnancy so to think a man would stop dating a woman because of this is ridiculous.

Well I mean trouble with these is we listeners don't really know what "nasty remark" is, but esp. on a date that seems like it should qualify as a big, big red flag (I'm assuming they didn't do this just because they wanted to end the date there and then). Asking "does it bother men" isn't even really necessary...

Different aspects of appearance matter to different people though, for whatever reasons, and we've pretty much agreed as a society that's all right. But "nasty" remarks just tell about the person, not a gender.
