Just curious. I've recently went on a couple of dates with women who have or haven't had acne. Some not at all and others relatively severe.

Questions:
Do you even notice it?
How do you perceive it?
Does it drop the (wo)man in question drop on the physical appearance scale to you?

I think I notice it more on other people because I'm no stranger to it myself. When I was a teenager I had terrible acne to the point I had to do a couple of cycles of accutane. I think in a weird way I notice it on other people only because I had it. I've had girls in school with flawless skin tell me they never even noticed it one me when I was going through it (probably because they never had it)! That's my theory anyway. I personally do not think any woman is less attractive because of it... I've been there so I definitely understand the damage it does to your emotions and confidence.

Well, coming from a guy who is, and hangs with welders....you'll see some acne like scars on us.

"Spackle" burns of the sort.

Hot molten metal and sparks can make a pit or two on your forehead, neck and or face.

Once they find out the cause, they usually overlook it.


But I know what you mean....pepperoni pizza can do some real damage.

Don't be afraid.....many celebs have/had it too.

If you watch a music video or movie from pre 2000, you sometimes can see it on close up shots.

Nowadays, it's very camouflaged with make up, camera angles and lighting.

In short, many or most people have at least a pock or two if you look close enough.

Women can hide it with make up.

Men hide it with facial hair.

No big deal really.

Some women break out when they are ovulating.

I have never really noticed acne scars or too many scars on others however, I focus on who they are and what they are saying not every minute detail of their skin.

Acne is usually hormonal.

Having said that, almost everyone can cure their own acne with basic hygiene.

Almost everyone.

Guys like me don't mind. We are plenty banged up ourselves. The soft female body and skin looks like a temple in comparison.

Been through hell, you are going to show it.

It's "character".

So in your opinion, which is worse?

A guy with scars....(not the toothpick jab you got when you were 3)....but substantial....like a stab wound in the side for starters.

Or....a man with a pock marked face?

Some scars can easily be hidden by HEAVY body hair on a man.....

You can't see on a quick glance.

His lover would know it though.

She gets intimate and close to him at night.

The gals at the pool.....nah, they just see ape.
