This thread is mostly for girls well men LUCKY them dont have this problem as we do!

so i wanted to ask the Girls


do you girls have any of those skin/body problems?
and when did u got it and how you tried to get ride of it?

cellulite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulite) which 90% of women have it.and its VERY hard to get rid of it completely ,even some skinny women have cellulite.

HERE is a site (http://www.thecelebritycondition.com/cellulite/index.html) showing some celebrities who have this cellulite problem.


stretch marks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_marks) which most got it from gainig and losing weight and pregnant women also mostly get these in their bellies, some men also get the stretch marks .and its hard to get rid of it all and completely maybe you can let it look better but you can not let it all go .


and men

-would you really care if your wife got one of these skin looks? why?

-what would you do to let ur woman feel ok with it (IF you are ok with it)?

It's comforting to know that Scarlett Johanson has cellulite :hyper:

I have cellulite but not stretch marks. I don't remember when I got it, but I never bothered doing anything about it. It's hardly noticeable anyway; I forget I have it!

Eeeek! those cellulite or whatever you call them are disgusting! *yuck* Anyways, I have very light stretch marks on my thighs, but it is barely visible.. I think I got them when I once gained weight and lost 'em.. :os Oh well, it doesn't bother me much, since it isn't that noticeable.

ahhh i hate both n have both! n sometimes i feeel soo insecure coz of them! i dun even wana get married coz my legs arents perfect! arrghh i hate both these things but stretch marks more! they r SOOO noticeable!

we need a solution :(

i was watching the Rachel ray show today n they had products that helped.. but in the end they r all temperory creams that u put.. there's ws the vasline firming n another expensive 1 that i cnt remember its name..

A stretch mark is not just a mark. It is a scar, where the skin has torn because it doesn't have good elasticity. And yes, unfortunately, I have many. By the 5th month of my first pregnancy I began seeing the first ones. I had been applying creams since I knew I was pregnant, but it had absolutely no effect.

By the 9th month, it looked like a very very angry big belly. They don't remain red and purple as they appear in the beginning, they do lighten.. but the tears in the skin remain. Nothing I can do about them so might as well change my perception of them from hideous marks to reminders of the time I carried my babies inside me. ;)

nosa, i saw that too, i actually watched the show to get to the cellulite part. :P
i have stretch marks, not sure if there is any cellulite hidden somewhere, i never noticed anything.

Yeah, I have both. I never noticed the cellulite but I am sure I've it, but I've white stretch marks on my thighs, but I thank God regularly that I am fair, therefore they're not very visible.

They don't bother me now because I know it is the norm and it is not very disfiguring. When it gets ugly, that's when I'm gonna hate its guts.

I have some cellulite. Daughter does and she is only 104 pounds. I heard that you can massage that area forget how long and you can diminish the look somewhat.

lymph drainage (massage from the bottom of the leg upwards, towards the lymph nodes in the groin region) really works.

I wonder if that is why they do those massages in spas?

I have few stretch marks that are barely visible. Nothing to worry about. And no cellulite thank God.

-would you really care if your wife got one of these skin looks? why?
You can't see it in real life, you just never see it so... I dunno :/

-what would you do to let ur woman feel ok with it (IF you are ok with it)?
something I heard from Buddhist tantra is that when you describe a person's body part to them in neutral language it makes them feel better... it neutralises their insecurities or something, and they burst out crying with joy.

what do you mean you cant see it in real life?

:)

ahem anyway i have them both and i used to get crazy

i was like omg am getting ugly and whatever
then i have read from some sites about how some women feel about it having cellulite or stretch marks that they know its kinda of a fact and they have to live with it and love how they look like whatever happened..

anyway if my husband one day made fun of me
he would be ***king dead! :bored:

what do you mean you cant see it in real life?
I've seen it in magazine pictures only, in real life it's invisible.

lol! its not believe me

well lets say that what u saw in magazines is real

I have both but got rid of the cellulite by using total body lift from clarines. It really works but then once you stop, the cellulite gradually comes back so i keep using it on and off.

Well would scars or birthmarks stop you liking a man's body? Of course not right? So it's no different for you. I've got stretch mark's across my back from growing too fast... it looks like I got whipped.

yeah i wouldnt even look at them as a scare i would look at it as something special that my husband have.. but we all know that girls doesnt really give that much attention to those stuff as guys do


its like i want a woman with a perfect body -_-

You'll get over the whole 'perfect body syndrome' if you just looked for the beautiful.

In my line of work, it's my job to bring out the best in someone's looks, from the neck upwards. So I guess I'm just used to looking for the beautiful bits instead of the ugly bits. I know we're all a mixture of both.. and I know we are especially hard on ourselves.. it must be a woman thing.

But I also know that we just have to stop wasting time worrying about it all. It can really ruin you, ruin your mood, ruin your fun, ruin your self esteem, ruin your chances to do something...

On everyone else, I see marks and scars and lines as 'character', part of them.. part of what makes them unique.. I wish I could actually say the same for myself. :hmm: I do try.

I TRY HARD to be honest LOL

glad to know that


if any guy tried to ruin my mood now by saying that they care about the look!
DONT EVER dare:bored::bored::bored::bored:

If he points out a stretchmark or something in a nasty way, it will sting a little.. but then I think.. 'hey, you're not that perfect either... so shut TF up and let's just be unperfect in silence.. " :hyper:

ok didnt understand the 1st thing..

i wouldnt mind them, im not perfect either :)

HAHAHAHA NICE ONE

*high five* you go girl!
ya they are not perfect we will still prettier than they are :P

ok didnt understand the 1st thing..

:/ u saw the link? it shows what is it

it doesnt make the skin looks smoothier its like there is something under the skin which is the fat.. even if a girl was skinny she can get it coz the fat comes upon the muscles.. but with the guys it happens in a different way the fat is under the muscles so the skin even if you have little fat it looks smooth not like a mountain or something:bored:

anyway i loved what u said :)

hey, i know this might be a little off topic but, don't men have some of those lovely imperfections somewhere on their bodies? :p i'm just curious.

Thankfully I do not have stretch marks. I had a small belly when preggers with my daughter. I used Cocoa butter liberally from the very beginning.

hehe even if they had, i guess it will be covered up with their hair

hehe even if they had, i guess it will be covered up with their hair
They always get to cheat, dammit! :hyper:

I guess men are likely to have more 'war wounds'.. scars from stitches and such.. since little boys usually get into more trouble than girls..:angel:

And look at it this way, men with stretch marks have no excuse. We're never gonna buy the whole "i had a baby" story... :hyper:

hehe even if they had, i guess it will be covered up with their hair

DAMN IT!

so true

Nella some do get it but not as women do :/ and ya aout the hair thingy -_-

i think more then 70% of ppl on earth have them, men or women.. so we just have to live with it..

its factually 90% of women have them LOL


sad truth huh

omg i think i have cellulite!

^^ LOOOOOOOOOOL! FAJ2AH! *suddenly!*

well i told ya its kind of a fact!

*goes to the rooms corner and cry*

We should fight it off :bored: you with me honey?

yeah am with you body and soul :bored: LOL!

will its hard to get rid off anyway if you managed too its just for a period of time and it will come back!

btw how did u know you have it :/

Read the description on wikipedia :(

Am pretty sure it's cellulite. It has to go. Gym, here I come!

^^^I Tried that and it got worst :/ coz the fat is the last thing goes from the whole exercising and dieting so i dont want to be like a ruler :/

I dont have a Perfect slim body and am not fat
but i rather stay chubby than looking like pencil lol!
ui
ANYWAY we will still fight it at least we wont feel guilty

its factually 90% of women have them LOL


And where are the other 10 %?

^^ 5% very skinny models 5% Africa -_- LOL

jk How would i know

im going ona diet :p

well u know toxic even super skinny models have them! so haha we're stuck with them:p

I have both, used to be extremely self conscious about them.. but not anymore. When someoone tells you you're perfect in their eyes, you forget about the flaws that you normally obsess about :p

^^^ aaaw that a good solution somehow

a good/sweet word can make a big change of how you see at yourself



PS: guys LEARN !

^%^^^ I didnt see any of these here in Oman

I saw a product from Dove and another from nivea Tried them both!
