Stretch marks

[russhie]

I've started seeing this guy who is starting to notice he's getting slight stretch marks as he's had to bulk up pretty rapidly for the football season. He asked me what he should do to minimise them/get rid of them (because all girls should know this shit, apparently).

Product/technique suggestions please - I can't believe my own vanity hasn't extended to this area of self improvement. I've really dropped the ball on this one.

Cheers Peachy & Adam, will tell him to give those a bash.

[checkyourprez]

yea theres not a whole lot you can do about them.

i have some on my pecs from the gym. just live with it. men should not be concerned with such things. woman on the other hand, need to get that shit taken care of.

wait, is this now a "tell everyone about the woes of your own stretchmarks" thread?

[marsdaddy]

Yeah, you basically can't get rid of them, but your boyfriend should embrace them like he does his muscles -- or at least you should. Life is about balance.

no, it's a "tell everyone how stupid it is to complain about something that you essentially cannot change" thread.

care to share more of your woes that other people can belittle?

[Yetra Flam]

uhh i dont have any stretchmarks?

[TurdBerglar]

my scrotum has stretch marks

[na§tee]

i wasn't talking about stretchmarks necessarily. nice way of adding that you don't have any though just to rub it in (although you made a thread (http://beastieboys.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=72483&) about them a couple of years back)

[Yetra Flam]

oh jesus christ, calm down.

[TurdBerglar]

oh shit

[checkyourprez]

wait, is this now a "tell everyone about the woes of your own stretchmarks" thread?

is this a dig at me?

they don't go away is my point.

and if it was a go in my direction, get yourself a sense of humor, than you can get me a sandwich.


(if not, i still want that damn sandwich)

[Yetra Flam]

it wasnt a dig at anyone, jesus.

[taquitos]

my door scratches the floor a little. over time you can tell.

[checkyourprez]

it wasnt a dig at anyone, jesus.

im still waiting on that sandwich. :p

I dated a dude with stretch marks from muscles. at first they grossed me out, but then I was like whatever.

Most of the replies in this thread are very confusing.

Anyway. He's not my boyfriend and he's not overly concerned about them, he just asked me about this in passing. So this thread wasn't started to talk about body image issues, who said they had stretchmarks ten years ago in a thread no one cares about, or dispute the fact those bastards won't actually completely go away. It was started in the spirit of consumerism, where actual products and patented techniques are offered up as little bits of advice so I can then look like I give a shit/appear smart next time the subject comes up with him. YAY

The bitching, however, is more interesting. So, carry on!

[Dorothy Wood]

I think the answer is moisturization to prevent further stretchification.

the root of this thread is based on this guy wanting you to rub ointment on his stretch marks. so...

are you going to do it?

[russhie]

Personally, I think he'd just rather have sex.

Or is the whole stretchmark/ointment ruse a pickup technique I'm not aware of yet?

[checkyourprez]

i'd need to check the reference book.

he could be trying to patent a new move.

Rubbing ointment into things isn't really high on my list of turn ons.
If you want to sleep with me, a more direct/conventional method is best.

So yeah. The ointment rub probably won't work as a technique - if you're semi naked in my house it's fairly likely I'm going to sleep with you anyway. I mean that in the sense that I don't have semi naked men wandering about all the time, just that men who become semi naked in my house are there to serve a purpose. And that purpose does not involve ointment and stretchmarks.

i'll keep that in mind.

I was just checking out my guns and noticed I have stretch marks on my biceps. Not been weight training but cardiovascular.

I am one buff mofo. Don't think I'll do anything about them though, I just thought of this thread. The reason I knew about bio-oil is cus of girlfriends, not cus I'm that vain.

[checkyourprez]

kid is so vein he thought this stretch mark thread was about you bout you bout you.
