    tbh scars don't matter under any circumstances.
    I mean.. I have my fair share of scars including Burns on my stomach and torso (although faded more now) from an accident.

    I wouldn't care. I'd be pretty damn hypocritical if I refused to go out with somebody because of something physical :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Hi ems

    I think everyone has a scar or two.
    Though some of us are a little more excessive in
    the altered state of our skin.

    Personally, it's nothing that would change my opinion of someone.
    You don't convey who you are with those pink lines and white ridges
    Those are just times in your life.
    Maybe they have stories you like to share
    more likely, they don't.

    I don't know if it's something the other person has to experience to understand
    and maybe someone would get scared by your arms or pock marks on your face or the big gash in your torso
    but if your heart still beats you're still a person
    deserving of love and affection.

    This is just getting corny now.

    They can hold weight, but they shouldn't be a basis of judgement.

    I like scars.

    Not a deal breaker at all.

    My girlfriend loves my scars. Yes, it hurts her to know how I got them, and sometimes it makes her sad, but she loves all of me, including my scars. Often, she strokes them and kisses them and tells me that they are beautiful and she accepts them as a part of the woman she loves.

    Scars don't bother me. I have a ton too (both from self-harm and different accidents.) I see them as a part of the person. It's not like you can think about the scars and make them go away.

    I find scars sexy. And with arms scarred like mine, finding them to be a "deal breaker" would be quite low of me.

    I have self harm scars so it'd be a bit hypocritical of me to think they'd be a deal breaker. Just little bookmarks for my life.

    I agree I kind of like them and could care less. It adds a bit of character. :wink:

    I don't mind scars. If he shares how he got them, then I get to understand him more, and we become closer together. If not, that's alright too. So yeah, I'm okay with scars.

    I love how each scar is a story of it's own, they aren't a dealbreaker to me. Unless it's a really big deforming scar in their face or something... I'm going to be honest and say that would turn me off or, at the very least, take a LOT of time to get used to.

    I don't care at all. In fact, I think scars are kinda cool. I'm actually a little sad that some of the ones I had eventually went away haha.

    Honestly, I'd prefer someone with a scar. I believe people with scars generally understand what it's like to be self conscious more than those who don't. It makes me feel better about myself knowing that the other half truly understands what it's like.

    So definitely not. Anyone who doesn't accept you because of scars is too shallow to even be in your presence.

    My entire left arm is nothing but scars. They have faded a great deal in the last 8 years or so, but I also have some large ones on my right hip/torso that are pretty noticeable.

    I have learned to like my body the way it is, and my scars have never stopped anyone from loving me before. I have thought about getting tattoos to cover up these areas, but only for vague aesthetic reasons, and because they would be cool places anyway...not because these scars prevent me from having normal relationships.

    I've had to explain my scars to many people before but honestly it really doesn't bother me anymore. They are very much a part of me now. :slight_smile:

    I wouldn't say its a deal breaker for me.. but honestly I'd rather not. Idk what that says about me as a person, I just can't deal with it if someone started harming themselves again.

    Definitely not a deal breaker.


    All scars come from self harm?
