In recent times, there have been accidental scarring, criminal mischief, combat, and jealous rage that has led to scarring as well. A magazine published a spread on what were once physically beautiful and handsome people. Would you overlook these things?

i often find scars on men quite sexy!

It depends a bit on where and on what they look like but its usually not a turn off for me.

I think scars is a bit too general. It depends on the size, body part. Do you have a scan of the magazine?

It would really have to depend on where the scar is. If it was on their face I think it would be harder for me to date that person than say if it was on the lower part of the body.

Some people have joker like scars!, scars from surgery, accidents and so on. Scars that are quite noticeable.
 
That was the just of the article I saw in my feed. I was caught of guard after clicking it. It introduced me to a world I have never scene. Surgical scars also can be quite overwhelming when you think of the size and length of them. I'll try to do a search tomorrow for the one I mentioned. I am too tired and medicated now to deal with my SNS feed. I shall retire for the night.
 
scars itself are not the problem (but i also had a crush on a girl that didnt have legs)... but i somehow think that after acid attacks and such, those women probably arent really in the mood to meet the next man...
id rather have a problem with self inflicted scars, not because of the looks, but because of peoples mindsets... some people just do it for the sake of attention (which i dont like), really suicidal people, well i think i would always be afraid to loose my partner...

It was really similar to this one and seemed to be current.

That's pretty serious. Scars on body don't disturb me so much but face is important for me. I do like some facial scars like a smal scar through the eyebrow, but big scars on a face would maybe scare me away from that person. But if i had a serious relationship with someone and they got scars like that (like in deadpool) i would be ok with it.

Self inflicted scars was another topic and also has some magazine attention. It might be hard to date someone that self mutilates.

When I find the OA I saw, it states that the woman found love again. I suppose that the initial shock would be a major factor in avoiding communication.

When I was a student, I used to date a lady that had some pretty vicious scarring on the left side of her face from a dog attack. After a while you don't even notice the scars, just the person behind them.

I have one small scar on my face and another on my ear. I also have various small scars on my body from my stupidly in my youth. I think it would be hypocritical of me to refuse to date a person with scars. I may not be as attracted due to the scars, but to flat out refuse seems mean spirited.

initially it will definitely have an impact. the longer the friendship/relationship the easier it would be to accept it. imho. scars won't bother me but it depends on what type of scars.

scarring as a body modification *might* be ok w/ me. i have body mods ... piercings

obvious self inflicted scars will definitely scare me/affect my confidence to fully support her. only after i've spent years w/ her as a friend will i consider moving on to dating. i want go know she is stable.

i have a scar on my head which required 7 stitches. most of the time covered by hair unless i'm sporting a skinhead. it was a running joke back in HS ... they'd try to drop coins in it and make me sing!

I was curious cause I met a hottie with some scars. At first I was taken aback. She said she had a fall but looks unlikely. But I am not really sure. I like her but I don't to get involved more than I am. Recent thing that happened after I saw the article. Was it karma telling me to be less focused on flawless skin and more focused on personality? I found out that we have a lot in common when it comes to living life. But the scars on her wrists make me wonder. Most of the time she kept them covered but on Sunday we were fooling around and I guess she forgot about her scars and off came those sun protector sleeve things. She religiously wears them. I didnt say anything and I wont I don't think.

Is it just scars or anything fresh?
It could be a period that is long behind her. I think almost all young people have tried cutting nowadays, it was really a big thing when i was in highschool. Its often related to puberty or something and doesn't always mean that people are currently depressed.
 
It's not new! I do listen to her she had an abusive boyfriend and I am guessing that that is a result of that. She has other smaller scars on her back. To be truthful, I have been married twice and since denounced relationships and this one comes along and apoeals to me intellectually rather than physically like my first two relationships. When I was younger imperfections were a turn off. Call me shallow but that is how I was. Everybody else had the cadillac and I had the Ferrari. Now I see a wrecked sports car. I am what I am.
