Acne Skin Care

Girls with acne...do guys really care?

Hey, I was wondering because I'm a girl whose facing acne as well, do you guys really care about a girl's acne so much so that even when you think she was interesting and fun to be with, you would not go out with her because of her acne? I've had guys like me and ask me out, but it's just a thought on what you guys think.

1. Em to be honest it's kind of a turn-off but it depends on how bad it is or whether it's done permanent damage e.g. scarring.
2. Yes, unfortunately we live in a society that values appearance and rewards it. Acne is treatable and the stigma that goes with it comes from the belief that the person is generally not doing enough about it and sometimes seen as being unclean.
3. Its a turn off but it goes back to the rule men only want one thing well maybe two we might wanna do it again
4. i dont mind as long as thier hott
5. although it is not her fault, it can be a little unappealing, it might be ok if she has one or two but; anyhow in the end if i were to develop a friendship with this person (and it grew to something more) I am sure I could overlook this
6. A guy who's worth having would overlook the acne and see the person. Some are shallow, but if you find a guy who's mature enough to look past "what his friends will think" and ask you out, he's at least worth checking out.
7. Well honestly it all matters a little to everyone, but the fact is everyone is insecure about something. What you really should realize is that guys have acne too, and that if you're young its probably just a phase. It's not true that a guy thats worth having wouldn't care because it's human to care about everything and anything good or bad, but just because you feel one way about yourself doesn't mean everyone else agrees with you on it. Besides, if you really are trying everything you can to fix your insecurity, then why worry about it? Is that going to change it?
8. Awww the age old fight! All of us go through this stage. Boys seem to have a rougher time of it but so do girls. it is a stage of life when there are many bodily changes going on and the onset of puberty. There doesn't seem to be much we can do about it. There are products available that help and also cover them and that is about all that can be done. When I was a teen about all we had was Clearasil but it didn't help much. I never had severe acne but I did have a lot of zits and black-heads. If it is any consolation, I am 69 years old and still get zits on my nose and occasionally on the edge of my lips.
9. I'm sure most guys wouldn't mind so much,i'm sure they have acne too! it's just a teenage thing,it'll pass,if your trully worried about it go to a doctor or chemist to get something to help it,pro active is apparently good
10. it looks dirty
11. People usually judge someone based on their apperance, and unfortunately, people are severe on acne. A lot see it as a "dirty, unclean" thing, and make unfair assumptions. But, you don't have to go with them. If a guy (despite your amazing humor, all around good looks, fun-loving attitude or great body) rejects all that because your acne... well, he wasn't worth it anyways. On the other hand, acne can cause scarring on your face, and future problems. Go see your derm for a solution, or a way to keep your acne in control. A lot of times, they could prescribe the birth control pill, since it regulate hormones that make your acne worse. Good luck! ALSO: It's not just a "teenage thing". Chances are, if you have it severely when you're young, you'll have it for years to come.
