Scars don't bother me at all. In fact, they're a turn on. They show that the woman is a warrior who has been through some stuff and has a story to tell. I like my women tough. Hiding the scars and not owning who you are, however, is a turn off.
Wanting to find out what you guys think about scars on a girl?
When I was young, I had to have a large operation on my leg, which left me with a scar the length of my thigh, as well as smaller ones at other places on both of my legs. Because of this, I don't really wear shorts, since the scars attract attention.
So my question would be, do scars like that turn a guy off? (since that has happened ...)
Every part of a person is precious. Your scars might attract attention, some people pay lots of money to get attention. For every person that looks at your scars instead of you, there will be some that see you, a person who happened to have scars and that is a story in part of your life. You had an experience others might not have had, you are interesting.
There will always be shallow people who see anything other than perfection as a lesser value, they don't own mirrors.
Wear those shorts. Show off those legs, there is nothing to be hidden other than is acceptable to you as modesty. You have nothing that detracts from your attractiveness because anyone not attracted to you wouldn't be no matter what and even if they are turned off by the scar, those are people to avoid, they have no place in your life and aren't worth the effort of concern or thought.
You have a built-in humanity meter and idiot filter, your scar. That scar will help weed out the stupid, the indecent and the callous.
I have torn both my Achilles tendons so I have matching scars on the back of both ankles. I love them. I think they are cool as heck, and for me they are my battle scars. My husband thinks they're cool too and he doesn't mind them one bit.
I am sure that if I am walking in front of someone, say like up a flight of stairs or at the beach, something like that, they wonder "What the heck happened to her?" If they ask me, I'll share the story. If not...then I am a woman of mystery and that's fine too!
I also have a scar about an inch long on my chin - I had it cosmetically worked on so it's minimal but it's still there - from a car accident. I got that one when I was sixteen and wasn't able to have it "fixed up prettier" till I was about 19. It never impeded my dating or anything like that at all, and I honestly never think about it, except perhaps in passing. Personally, I sort of like it too. I am proud of the things I've lived through which have made me the person I am today, and my scars are just outward evidence of my inward strength.
I'd like to know this as well. I have a small scar under my belly button near the bikini area. I had to have surgery to have a ovarian cyst removed last year. I also have a few scars on my arms from work. I'm always more nervous about my arm scars than anything because I always worry people will think it's from self harm even though it's not.
All that counts is what's inside -- a good heart, a sharp mind, kindness, hard working, empathetic, good sense of humor, willingness to learn and improve -- compared to all this, what's a dumb scar, or two, or ten?
If someone judges you by such superficial things as a scar or blemish or vein or off-center nose or funny ears or freckles, and we all have some including even those air-brushed models in magazines, then that person should have no place in your life. Life's too short for such id10ts so dump'em and move on.

I'd be more interested in hearing the story than turned off. I'd probably encourage you to wear shorts more, since I personally don't care about scars... and I like nice legs.
Yes, what's so odd or hard to believe about that? Is it really bad?
