Are women unattracted to guys who have acne/red marks?

[warrior1]

Well i had acne back when i was younger so i was pretty quiet back then. I am 21 now but still have some pimples and have a lot of red marks / brown marks from acne/pimples. I do use stuff to help it out and its going okay. I also use concealer to make my redmarks less noticeable when i leave the home b/c of these old acne marks.

Do women immediately get unattracted to men with some acne/red marks but not severe? The thing is that whenever i look at someone, the first thing i notice is their skin if they have pimples/red marks or not and this happens whether i look at a guy or woman. Sometimes i am surprised at looking at some people and their skin looks flawless, even some guys i see.

I know most women use makeup to hide their redmarks because its so easy to do so. But do women get even a bit unattracted if they see a guy who is attractive to them but he has pimples or red marks? I read a lot on acne.org and there are still people that are 35 and up who still battle acne their whole life and haven't had it gone yet. Most of them say acne does mess up their life.

I remembered how the last year or so i didn't went to class much because of this and i hated it. I know women don't expect all men to have excellent skin but does the guy having some pimples and old red or brown acne marks make you see him any less? I see women saying i want a guy who has etc etc and one of them was a good complextion (if he can help it).

I know that if it was severe acne it would probably be a big thing for women but does something mild affect the way the woman see you?

I am also most of you guys here probably don't have this problem but would like to know from fellas who had this problem.

thanks.

I don't think so. It's all on in your mind and what you tell it.

 

[ElStud]

Not really. Plus it's not like they don't get acne too.

Yes, acne is obviously unattractive. However, EVERYONE has a few flaws about them they can use to justify their lack of success with women. If it wasn't your acne it would be your height, your nose, your weight, your thinness, your hair, etc, etc, etc. The list goes on forever.

Women are primarily attracted to the way a man behaves. I'm not saying looks don't matter, they just don't matter half as much as most guys make it out to be. Not only that, but a few zits are not going to make you physically unattractive.

Kudos,

get rich and it won't matter =)

 

[Mr. Unique]

Off course not! even some hbs have told me they prefer a guy with acne as it adds character to a guys face

I'm not going to really answer this but just give you a picture of how my face is currently...

Mosquitos bit the sh!t out of me (9) and now I have an infection, which caused a big as lump on my face. Also I kind of broke out or something and my face has these big ass pimples that now make my face look discolored. Plus the big ass pimple on the nose. (Ok I overexggerated about the big pimple on the nose but it's there)

I have about a week or two before all of it goes away...and it hasn't affected me.

This isn't the first time my face was like this, a few months back when I was in school I purposely did this to see if it had any affect on me...only thing it did was caused one chick to tease me on my pimple on the nose and my friends pleading me to take care of my face becuase one pimple popped while we were walking around in public. (lol it was an all time low)

While I don't purposely do this anymore because I hate bumps on my face, it really hasn't affected me, and hopefully this infection goes away quickly because some of he bumps HURT.

Well I have the same problem a bit, the left side of my face is pretty much clear (tiny scars) but there's a bit of redness on the right side.

Clear skin would have been good but I actually kind of like the left side, it gives character and doesn't make me look too pretty. Plus, I've never had a problem getting laid, since being in the community that is.

 

[Zerix]

Man, that's the worst thing, I feel ya. I have same ****, still breakout a bit time to time (only 17 though so hey, I don't expect it to end). Sometimes it'll get better and I feel ****ing great. Or a new breakout comes, and I'm at an all time low, confidence is ****ty and I just wanna steer away from people, yeah... sucks. But **** it, it is all in your head. Remember, you are your biggest critic.

True:yes:

and for some reason, I find girls with minor flaws more attractive too...I don't mean I fancy ugly girls btw
It's just that it makes a person more 'real'

 

[Ken785]

plop down 6gs to get them laser removed for your insecurity...thats what i did...it didnt work much even though the salesman in the office tells you it does but have no pictures to prove (ripoff) and now im in debt. they took the whole 6gs upfront too (i got a med loan) just so you cant just stop going afer you find out it doesnt work. dumbest decision i ever made.

Perfect is boring... remember?

 

[God_of_getting_layed]

the answer to this question is

YES, ACNE MAKES YOU LESS ATTRACTIVE TO WOMEN

DUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

better get proactive now! <--yet another useful tip helping a man increase his chances of success in a world where looks matter in the dating game.

Women are primarily attracted to the way a man behaves. I'm not saying looks don't matter, they just don't matter half as much as most guys make it out to be.

correction, when it comes to who women will have sex with, looks are primary. However, your personality matters too, so just becuase you look like a male model doesnt mean your guarnateed sex. You have to have the behavior to go with it or else.

Thats the sucky thing about women, theyre worse than man; men just want looks, women want looks AND personality.

Damn you got a bee in your pretty little bonnet today haven't you.

I genuninely believe you have no idea how the female mind works....I'm not going to do you the honour of properly setting you straight now because I'm tired, but know this: Attraction in men and women works very, very differently. With men its basically how good the woman look, but you seem to think that women follow the same pattern....no junior.

Women have sex with guys who make them feel something. Thats why an average looking fireman or rockstar can get laid more than a good looking sales assistant or whatever. Its why I got laid in front of better looking American guys when I visited the states last year.

Seriously, stop with the multi-posting and generalisations, some women DO *shock horror* place personality over looks, and if you seriously think something like a bit of redness in the face is going to be a deal breaker then you're very, very deluded and possibly inexperienced.

And for god's sake change your name We can all tell you're a fraud pal.

 

[Alkali]

Yes. It's not exactly a bonus. But it's not a death sentence.

I have two friends, both with acne problems (one worse than the other actually.)

One guy is buff, funny, but shy. He doesn't do so well around girls.

The other is buff, funny, and assertive. He has to beat them off of him.

It's not a big deal.

 

[Alkali]

Naturally, the assertive one has more acne. A little more testosterone I guess lol.

 

[StoneColdFox]

Women love acne.







Were you seriously expecting someone to say that? lol

Women overlook flaws more easily then men. I don't think they'd turn you away over a few red marks but if its acne because of a skin condition or you arent taking care of yoursel then thats a different story.

 

[Alkali]

Stone, help me you mother ****er! I have no time. Quick! Five minutes, do it!

Um, this has been talked about over and over in the looks matter threads: all available evidence to date strongly suggest women place a strong importance on looks when it comes to who they have sex with (the more attractive she is, the more this applies).

You can use your arguement that "men and women are completely different", but it will do you no good. while its true both genders have difference, they will also have similarities as well. THeres strong evidence that says placing importance on looks is one of those similarities, there are other similarities between the sexes, but theyre irrelevent for this discussion

please turn this into a looks matter thread, I DARE YOU! and post some actual evidence proving looks dont matter. Becuase to date, you 'looks dont matterists' have yet to provide any credible evidence backing up your case nor have you been able to come up with a theory that can explain all available observations that involves looks NOT mattering. However, the 'looks matterists' have already done this with our looks matter theory and provided a long list of observations that only our theory can explain (God_of_getting layed, Ricorico et al.)
