Cellulite/Orange Peel - how off-putting to men?

[FlutterFlye]

So, I have a nice hourglass figure which I'm overall happy with however I have cellulite on my bum and back of thighs. Have got a new man - well, FWB really - and am feeling a bit self conscious about it

Do men notice and/or care about it? Never ever seen a porn star with cellulite and feeling a bit awkward about it! (Yes, my FWB loves his porn, as do I)

Thanks

I've noticed. Visually, it isn't as attractive as smooth skin. However, that being said, I prefer bottoms that jiggle. It's certainly not a deal-breaker in any event. Nobody's perfect and the vast majority of us don't look like porn stars.

If you've had sex and your FWB still wants more then you've probably already got your answer. If he's so superficial that he can't tolerate a little cellulite then he's not much of a friend.

 

[FlutterFlye]

Yeah we've had sex and yes, he wants more - probably my own insecurities rather than anything superficial on his part. Was just wanting to live in a dreamworld where men are blinded to cellulite and don't notice it! No such luck

Don't think it's an issue..if it is, it normally tells you something about your buddy...

 

[Biker_Type]

you're not a porn star or a model and i bet he isn't either??? shouldn't make a difference we all have flaws and if its a deal breaker for him it will be his loss not yours!

 

[culloden]

Cellulite? I think women care about this sort of thing much more than men do. Really, we don't expect you gals to be any more perfect than we are, so you've got miles of leeway.

Don't worry about it at all.

 

[fire_breeze]

May I also add that 80-90% of females have cellulite? And that most camera lens have a diffuser that slightly distorts the image, making skin looking smoother?

And that most performers in professional production - regardless of the type - will be wearing body make-up that hides perceived imperfections?

Just sayin'.

seems

Seems as though perhaps you have more concern about the cellulite than does he. From the perspective of an old guy whose been to a few rodeos, a warm, willing pussy would make me forget all about inconsequentials in a hurry. There are a lot of "shoulds" in responses but, in the end, it comes down to whether you and he rock and roll. If you do, a flaw here and there won't matter in the least. ENJOY!!

 

[FlutterFlye]

Yeah we rock n roll together It much more my problem than it is his (in fairness he's never mentioned it) - just seems to be on times that no matter where I look I'm the only woman with cellulite. Sigh. Probably puts me more off my stride though than any man.

He's the first man I've got naked in front off since my divorce so am just probably a little out of the swing of things and paranoid!

 

[Bbb13]

In my mind, if a woman thinks she is ho and sexy, she is. Confidence goes a long way

 

[Lord Pmann]

I always say the most attractive woman in the room is the naked one. Seriously, most guys aren't as picky as you'd think. I only have one friend who is really picky. His wife is super hot and he totally rags on her about stuff. She had a baby and had about ten extra pounds after a month or so and he asked when she was going to drop that. He's kind of an ass. But most guys that are decent aren't like him.

thinking

Glad to hear you rock and roll. Are there other things about your body that aren't perfect? It is my impression that there is a vaccine against females feeling there body isn't good enough and that is a CLEAR understanding given them, probably by their father in childhood, that they are beautiful, precious, lovable and generally OK. I'd be interested in your thoughts.

 

[missgiter]

I'd say more women have that then not, m'dear. And -plenty- of men find it attractive.

Love a bit of curve, myself! But hey...

At my lowest adult weight (109 lbs. at just under 5' 6" thanks to the stress of getting divorced), I still had a bit of cellulite, mainly because my ass ain't going anywhere no matter how thin I get. Even when I'm in better shape than I am right now, I'm not willing to dial in my diet and exercise to the point where I'd be able to get rid of cellulite. Not only would I likely have to get my bodyfat percentage so low that I'd likely stop menstruating, but I'd probably be so hungry that I'd chew off my arm and beat some poor unsuspecting bastard to death with it.

My response would have been, "About the time you add two inches to your cock." What a douchecanoe.

Vaccine? Are you referring to Gardasil?

For me, joining a gym in my 40s was a massive eye-opener (almost literally). As a straight woman, I had never really got to see "real" women with their clothes off. Now, in the changing room at my gym, I see women of all ages, most of them pretty fit, with no clothes on - and you'd be amazed at how NOBODY looks like women in magazines/films do. Young, fit attractive women have cellulite, saggy tits, folds of fat on their backs... you name it.

As a straight woman I had seen far, far fewer "real" women with their clothes off than any of my lovers had, of course. Men know what real women look like - and they often know far better than their girlfriends what real women look like.

As said above, most men are just happy to have you willing to be naked in our bedroom.
People are not perfect and we all have our flaws, but the biggest flaw a person can have is a poor self image.
The biggest or smallest woman can project an air of sensuality if she is confident in herself.

 

[FlutterFlye]

Thanks for the responses. Yeah, I guess the problem is my own self esteem rather than any guy I'm with. Ironic as to look at me you'd never think I had confidence issues but hey ho, that's the joy of growing up with a mother who constantly put me down I guess. Even when people know tell me they think I'm beautiful, gorgeous, attractive blah blah I think they don't mean it and have an ulterior motive.

Ironically enough it's been the posting of naked pics and vids of myself on a website (cellulite and all lol!) that's improved my confidence slightly.

P.S I know I sound like I'm 18 - I'm 34 years of age - I should be waaaay more self assured by now

Stupid auto correct. That was meant for pmann.

 

[scottishgirl]

Although i don't suffer from it i would say that it shouldn't really matter. Be proud of yourself and enjoy your body, that will distract any man Xxx

Cellulite on your beautiful soft squeezable bum and huggable thighs? Mmmmm yes, I would notice, and I would care! I personally think it's a sign that a woman is right at that area of cuddly softness that feels so good to the touch. Can't say what your new man thinks of it of course, but I find it attractive, and even a little bit sexy.

I aim to please.

Beautifully Flawed

As one guy, it doesn't matter to me at all. Humans in generally are beautifully flawed and personally, I like it. Maybe if I spent three hours a day in the gym, manscaped, wore foundation, and went totally metro I might care. LOL - but that isn't me, so I don't.

Hi, I like your thread. I suffer from cellulite as well. I hate it but I don't let it wreck my confidence although some would disagree. I have adjusted the way I dress, no shorts, short skirts swimming suits etc...but it's my choice. I've never been turned down by a man because of the cellulite but whether a man can deal with it or not does not change my attitude towards it.

 

[Thefamiliar]

Would you rather be excersizing or having sex?

Don't look at the celulite.

100% of all guys I have ever talked to don't care. Half of them, need to be told what it is...

After 30, I figured I was too old to let the small stuff stop me from living life. My teenage daughters got me in a strapless bikini the other day. I definitely don't look 18, but I don't want to be 18 anymore.
