I've been mulling over asking this question somewhere for a while. I was born with a disease that required I have five surgeries on my face over the course of a year, one of which had the unfortunate complication of a graft dying on my face. I had a feeding tube, staples, the whole nine yards. The left over scar is no longer raised and angry like it used to be, and I'm coming to terms with it for the most part--after all, I couldn't help it, it's a disease that had to be taken out or I might die, and most of all, the complications weren't under my control. The scar runs down where the crease of my cheek should be, dips under, and then connects to the side of my mouth, runs under my nose, and one has replaced my cupids bow of my lips. It's not very large, and I'm of the frame of mind that scars are like tattoos, only with better stories.
I was wondering, though, would you date a woman with a visible facial scar? I've never had a problem with men, in fact, I date pretty regularly, but I was wondering if this crosses men's minds at all when they're looking for new prospects?
I agree with you on the comparison to tattoos. Scars come with living life, and some people end up with big ones and some barely have any. I guess it would depend on exactly how the scar looked and what the woman's face looked like as a whole as far as whether I found the scar a real turn off (pretty face with a noticeable scar is still a pretty face in my book). But in general I wouldn't have a problem dating a woman with a noticeable scar on her face, if she was still pretty overall and/or in decent shape and (most importantly!) the personal chemistry was there.
Thanks! I've been told I'm pretty even with it, so I've never let it bother me too much--it was just hard to go from looking one way my whole life, to suddenly having something be different. Haha, and chemistry is always important.
I am a guy and I would not date someone who had a visible scar on her face.Sorry and no offense intended.
Westerntraveler—something tells me she's not missing out on anything.
I have no problem dating people with scars—it's character! Look at Tina Fey, for example. Beautiful.
Not to mention, Joaquin Phoenix, Mary J. Blige, Harrison Ford, Sandra Bullock—the list goes on! All attractive people with facial scars. Be proud of it!

Im sure some might have an issue with it, but then they are probably shallow. Not much you can do about it so there is no point in worrying. In the end everyone gets old and wrinkly, by 30 most women in texas have wrinkled skin because of too much sun.
Unfortunately, a good number of men (and women) are shallow when it comes to facial features and over all appearance. I wont lie and say it wouldn't bother me one bit. I guess, it depends how severe the scare is. In your case, it doesnt seem like an issue since you've been attracting men.
For me, it's less about the scar but more about how your face looks overall.
