utohskettiohs Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Has really loose/saggy skin in his chest and stomach area due to losing 100+ lbs? Be honest now.
Confusedalways Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Absolutely. If I like a guy, their loose skin isn't going to send me running. That aside, it says the individual has taken enough interest in their physical well being to get healthier, etc. That, IMO would be like a man not wanting to date a woman because of stretch marks or something equally inconsequential. Just my $.02
brainygirl Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I would tend to agree. If you have an emotional connection with the woman then it probably won't matter. Everyone has physical flaws.
tami-chan Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Has really loose/saggy skin in his chest and stomach area due to losing 100+ lbs? Be honest now. Wow, whoever that person is, congratulations!!!!!! Now, to answer the question..."maybe"...loose/saggy skin does not make the person.
Allisha Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Honestly, no. We're gonna sound so shallow, tigress! but that's a no for me too.
Star Gazer Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 We're gonna sound so shallow, tigress! but that's a no for me too. Me three. (But I'm imagining super-saggy, like post-Biggest Loser style.)
tigressA Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 We're gonna sound so shallow, tigress! I couldn't care less. :laugh: I'm frank with the fact that I'm shallow. I like what I like, and so does everyone else.

More than likely no, unless a strong friendship turns into romance, but that isn't always what happens. By the way, aren't there surgeries that can help the saggy skin issue? People get breast implants, tummy tucks, liposuctions, nose jobs, and all that stuff all the time, and I would assume there's a surgery for sagging skin too? Edited October 7, 2010 by elaina
Author utohskettiohs Posted October 7, 2010 Author Posted October 7, 2010 Ok, let's say that the guy is actually fairly thin. He wears clothes all the time (of course), so there's no way to tell that he has loose skin and he appears physically fit. When the time comes to be physical with him, he tells you about what happened. It ends there?

Have you considered surgery?
kahn2154 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 When I posted this thread the women seemed to be more receptive, life really isn't fair
OceanGirl Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I am just being honest dude. Would you date me if I weighed 250lbs? No, I didn't think so.
kahn2154 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 We're not talking about an obese man though, we're talking about formerly obese. Most women who have a baby will have loose skin also...
squeaky Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Yeah, I would. It might not be the hottest thing on planet earth, but whatever, nobody is physically perfect.
Knittress Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 If it were me I'd get surgery. And um, no I wouldn't be hot for it... but, I'm a big softie so if I'd already grown attached to you I would probably overlook it.
kahn2154 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I've had two surgeries, you still don't look 'normal' after surgeries
Ella whispers Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I would. I'm certainly not perfect, I had a child so I have stretch marks and my body isn't what it used to be but I've never been naked in front of someone that complained. If someone wouldn't date you because of it than their mindset is, I'm too good for him or your appearance is more important than your mind and heart. That's an issue that they have not you. They aren't worth it. Looks fade, souls don't.
lilbunny Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I suspect if you have already had surgery then it isn't as bad as people might be imagining. Honestly I'm not much fussed about perfect bodies, I've dated and loved men with more than ample middle-age spread etc. If there was a spark then yes I would. BTW congratulations on your weight loss, well done

Cee Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I would talk about this issue on the website http://www.3fatchicks.com - It's a forum like this, but for weight loss. The women (and many men) are veterans in the weight loss battle and will be kind and supportive. It is well moderated and has very little trolling (some diet spam trolls sometimes).There are multiple threads about loose skin & there's also a subforum on body image issues after weight loss. I think you should be congratulated on your weight loss and extending your life. Obesity is killing more people than smoking. Some lucky girl will be so happy to have a man that is taking care of himself. All of us have our imperfections and I don't think that takes any of us out of the running to find love.
sica Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 If am interested in him then saggy skin wouldn't be a problem for me. I have encountered a male with body issues and a chip on his shoulder. In that case, if he is an ******* because of his insecurities then I'm gone. What about you, OP? Would you date a girl with saggy skin or boobs after she lost 100 lbs?

When the time comes to be physical with him, he tells you about what happened. It ends there? It might end there if there are no other connection except sexual. If you have other good physical/social qualities and emotional/intellictual connection, the extra skin is not a deal breaker.
