.....Acne?

[Jar51394]

Hey this is pretty much only for girls, but is it a big deal if a guy has mild acne or acne scarring? Can a guy still be attractive with it? Date someone with it? I think you get the idea....

It really depends on the girl. Some care a lot about it, and others just don't.
I dated a guy that had a bit of acne, I don't care too much about it really.

I'm not a girl but I'm answering anyway. :)
I think it really depends. Sometimes I think scars and marks can look quite cute because they add some character and uniqueness to a person. But, I don't think I could deal with a person with absolutely loads of acne. It can look quite unattractive if it's like "fresh"? It seems very shallow but it would probably put me off a bit. My ex-girlfriend had a bit of acne but she was a very beautiful girl and I really didn't care about it. I'd like to think I care a lot more about the character on the inside than a person's outer appearance.

like others have said, it depends on the girl, but it doesnlt bother me that much. i think it there were a ton it might be kinda a turn off, but we all have acne from time to time and i kind of just look past it when it's just a little you know?

I have some, not too much, and am currently in a relationship, so I guess the answer's a yes

Well in my experience there's a difference between acne, and acne scarring.
There's this

and then theres this (AKA Hell)

So yeah, I personally wouldn't mind, but having gone through it, I feel like alot of people care more than they say.
Also, I'm a dude, sorry.

Well the standard of beauty has been raised now given that there are a lot of effective medicines that treat this condition.

It is kind of assumed now that if you have bad acne, you aren't even trying to use good hygiene and a healthy diet to look your best.

It depends on the person. I personally don't mind very mild acne, and if I'm attracted to other features of a person, it doesn't seem like it matters all that much.

If you assume that about someone, you're a dick. No offense but thats just not true. Certain people are more prone to worse acne than others. There are also conditions that can worsen acne.

I totally agree,because I've tried many different treatments for acne and none have shown significant improvement.

I don't mind acne at all.
It happens to everyone, some just get it worse than others. It's not their fault.
And if someone refuses to date someone, overlooks all their good features, their personality, just because they have acne. To me, that's wrong.

You guys are totally right. It is totally a superficial, surface judgement people make about other people.

But you asked the question, and you got a hard life real world answer.

It's well known guys rate girls on a visual looks scale too, so this is the flip side of that.


Nobody is innocent of using the visual information they get from their eyes to make assumptions (even false ones) about those they only lightly socially interact with.

The above post and my original response here is not necessarily my view, but you wanted feedback of the honest truth and I've had this feedback from many girl talk sessions with friends.

Some girls don't care and will look past it, especially if they know you've got other qualities they like personality wise, but many will care and do.

I'm sure there's people out there with pretty bad acne in a relationship, it's just as much as an appearance factor as anything else I think. Depending on the person, some people may be hella okay with, some might find it very uncomfortable. I'm sure there's are guys out there which have medium/severe acne and still look great.

-whispers- just make sure you take care of yourself otherwise it'll get worse or scar! :0

[Babs]

A little bit of acne or scarring isn't a big deal to me. Everyone's different though. Some people don't give a shit, some people are superficial and do.

[Waleedbt]

Not a girl but i feel like answering this as i was a person who had pretty ugly acne.

It wasnt so bad imo, and as people always told me but let me just say no girl looked at me as an attractive person.
I started a treatment for 6 months and now im cleared and really happy, anyways.. Girls started to start conversations with me! Lol but yeah i noticed how much of a difference it made to me, it didnt shock me though.
So from my experience i can say that girls ive met are caring about acne, but then again i also had a low selfesteem, still do.

[Dark_Desires]

Not a girl But

My bestfriend has pretty terrible acne and honestly at first i wasn't sure but now i barely notice it and honestly its looks a little cute.
His Girlfriend has never mentioned it or seems to care she just loves him.
I honestly don't think it should really effect someone from finding you attractive after all a relationship isn't all about attraction.

If my Bestfriend with some of the worst i have seen can have
Many a few girlfriends and never have a problem them you should be fine.

Why is it such a big deal? honestly curious?.
