starla33 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 do you think the other person gets really turned off? Just wondering, i always seem to try to cancel a date if I have a zit, but sometimes can't get out of them. I KNOW that is over the top lol.
jobaba Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 do you think the other person gets really turned off? Just wondering, i always seem to try to cancel a date if I have a zit, but sometimes can't get out of them. I KNOW that is over the top lol. This is so funny. I was just thinking about this ... this week. I'm an adult so I don't get acne all over my face like when I was a kid, but I get the really big zits that get all white and gross. I would just pop it the night before. If I had a few of them or maybe a really big one on my nose (the worst:sick:) I'd try and postpone. That said, I can't remember the last time acne on an adult woman turned me off. I've never seen a woman with acne (as an adult) and said, "Ugh, that zit makes her unattractive."
CarrieT Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Are you 14 years old or something? My boyfriend and I went out last night and I asked about something at the corner of his mouth (I get cancer sores and thought it might be that). He commented it was a zit. He is 52 years old... Should he have cancelled the date because of it? Welcome to growing up and being an adult; we are all human and zits are part of being human.
Comfortably Numb Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 If someone is really concerned about one zit, are they really someone worth dating in the first place? I mean, honestly, i understand things happen, certainly i wouldn't be as shallow to simply dismiss them if they had such a minor thing as zit. I'd be more concerned with that Mike Tyson facial tattoo
thehead Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 It's not a big deal, OP. I went on a date with a girl who had broken out near her jawline. At dinner, she kept cupping her face with her hand and leaning her elbow on the table to hide it. I felt bad for her since she was obviously self-conscious, but she brought more attention to it by stressing. I really wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Use some cover up or whatever and go on the date.

Which is why it bothers me when I Get one it's pretty bad :/ and leaves a mark for like a week that is hard to cover up

Andy_K Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Well let's put it this way... having a girl flake out on me will turn me off and reduce the chances of me wanting to see her again much more than the presence of a zit. 2
Mme. Chaucer Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Just paint petals and leaves on it; then you'll have a whimsical face painting to talk about on your date instead of an unsightly blemish.
veggirl Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Most everyone gets the occasional zit, it's not just teenagers. I get a zit sometimes, I don't like it but I don't cancel on my BF because of it or anything, lol. The guy isn't gonna care, unless it's oozing puss or actively bleeding because you're picking at it during the date. A lot of the time if I get a zit, no one notices til I ask them "ugh can you totally see my zit" (ftr I ask my sister and friend, not my bf lol)
Mme. Chaucer Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 An oozing, festering cold sore is a different story, though...
M2155 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 No I'm almost 30. Which is why it bothers me when I Get one it's pretty bad :/ and leaves a mark for like a week that is hard to cover up I'd kill for a zit that left week-long marks, when i got adult acne mine stayed for at least 6 months:eek:. So I'd never date if this was a problem. Work around it the best you can, canceling a date for a zit is pretty superficial. Can you imagine how ridiculous it would sound if a guy called you to cancel because he had razor bumps?
veggirl Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 An oozing, festering cold sore is a different story, though... haha. Sure is. A face full of acne is a different thing too. Or BACNE One zit is fine OP!!!
NateC Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 haha. Sure is. A face full of acne is a different thing too. Or BACNE One zit is fine OP!!! Ugh...bacne reminds me of my terrible teenage years. I still have scars that won't go away from it. But, whatever.
gotye Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 if you put on makeup it'll be fine a little skin color raised bump is NOTHING dude my face is scarred from my acne and I still get zits here and there, I would never go out if I cared. Just good with makeup/placing hair/no man I have dated seemed to notice enough to comment (even when they saw me without foundation)

gotye Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Difference: Women have makeup, men don't...at least, that I know of. well, makeup doesn't know gender when you put it on your face... not like it leaps off a man's face... there is no problem with a guy wearing some cover up IMO if he wants. We all have zits and all want to look nice
january2011 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 No, I wouldn't cancel a date over a zit. I'd just get into the frame of mind that it doesn't matter and laugh it off if he mentioned it - which unless he's extremely tactless, he probably wouldn't. Though if it was in an unfortunate place and his eye kept straying to it, I might say something just to clear the air and get it over and done with. Fortunately, I don't often get zits. Perhaps once in a blue moon. And acne completely bypassed me.

At least I can control it for the most part...seems to trigger on stress (well, that could be a problem!). 1

The problem is I'm super pale so when i get a zit it leaves a nasty brown mark which is what i have now...UGH i guess i can pretend it's a magical beauty mark that appeared since the last time i saw him....le sigh 1

We all have zits and all want to look nice yeah i feel bad for guys in high school to be honest. I had fairly bad skin back then and can't imagine not being able to cover it up!
LexiB Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Depends on where it is and how big. A small bump on my jawline or cheek, no. A large zit in the middle of my forehead or - the worst IMO - right underneath nose? Yessiree, if it couldnt be concealed. Assuming this is a first or early date with a new guy?
