After having my son, the pregnancy left me a lot of stretch marks all over my belly and sides…my sons dad and I split a little while after having the baby and now I want to start dating, but I’m afraid of what men will think. I mean, I’m still fit, and I don’t have loose skin, but I did get quite a bit of stretch marks, and tbh I really don’t think I can date anymore because of them. Any thoughts and opinions on this? Be real, no need to spare feelings.

This is different for every person.
For me it would be a “bigger issue” that you have a child and not the stretch marks.
But I would assume that if you date i.e. divorced men who also take care of a child, they probably have less problems with that. Whether your child nor your stretch marks.
So in general I would say it just reduces the number of people who want to date you.
Since you probably don’t want to date people who have a problem with your child anyway it’s maybe even an advantage finding the right one. 🙂
If you’re dating men who know you have a child then odds are (unless they’re really ignorant) they’re going in with the knowledge that stretch marks will be there.
If a grown man is scared off by stretch marks…he’s not a grown man. Own those tiger stripes mama. Just a history mark of the fact you created a tiny human.
I like them, so do many other people. Gotta find the right one.
If someone turns you away because you have a few stretch marks, you are better off without them anyways. Keep your head up OP, I’m sure you’ll find the right person for you!
