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

[MSTarot]

To me a large plump woman is incredibly sexy. With that comes the acceptance that she will have a few things about herself she may not be happy about.

I can't say cellulite has ever been a turn off for me in any way or even something I payed attention to.

Was with a lady who had stretch marks from child birth. She was so self-conscious about them she didn't like to take her shirt off while having sex.

When I finally convinced her that i truly didn't see them as anything but part of a beautiful woman. She did her best to convince me that gravity didn't exist.

Ahh who cares! Is the guy perfect? A David Beckham look alike in the body department? Even porn stars and models have things that they may want to change and if not today than one day.
It's normal to want to be some way we are not, it gives us motivation, but one thing you can't change are genetics and if you are pre disposed to carrying a bit of fat so be it. And if he doesn't like there are plenty of men on here who will take his place.

For a long time- cellulite was considered completely normal on women. I don't even think it had a special name. Most women have cellulite from one degree to another no matter what size they are.

In fact, many very slender women have cellulite and young women can be just as suseptible to it as older women are.

Its only such a big deal because you hear about it, read about it and there are products marketed that claim to make it go away. Those companies want women to think they are freakish and different for having it so they can sell their products. Many actresses and models have cellulite as well- its just that they have better photoshopping and P.R then the rest of us do! lol

I don't think most men even notice it. I think that as women- we can be much more hyper-critical of ourselves then most men are.

A few pointers here.....from a fleshy amazon!

Celulite is not a "fat" issue, it's a skin issue. The skin has broken down (specifically collagen and elastin deep deep in the dermis) and it becomes like a net with big gaps as opposed to the fabric like texture that keeps the insulating fat around the muscle. Most everyone has it. Especially in bums, thighs, and hips. Women have fat pockets there that are the last hold outs in starvation- so don't try to jazzercise that away!

Some quick fixes....Try taking used coffee grounds and exfoliating the area in the shower. Cafeine is a vaso dialator which deminishes the look of them. Also hydro cortozone ccreams work aswell. Sally Hansen makes a product that is "Spray on Panty hose" this is wonderful to cover up! It does rub off though so be cautious! Easiest fix- take some flesh colored shimmer powder and a giant fluffy brush and lightly dust them! it is light difusing so it will do like the touch up pics and special lenses do! They even sell lotions with shimmer in them now.

Do what makes you feel good sister! For me it is buying panties a bit bigger so I don't get muffin tops on my luscious hips and wearing thigh high that cover all my little flaws up- Easy Peasy! Porn stars are professionals, like models who take their image seriously because that is their living! They are paid to look a certain way. You however dear, look that good just because you can! Work with what your momma gave you! We are all different and that's what makes women great. No one walks into a restaurant and orders the same thing for all their life- they atleast consider the different dishes on the menu no? Celebrate you! To hell with anyone else who says otherwise! There is only one you, so how can anyone else judge when they don't know if you are doing "you" right or not???? be or in this case, look like your best you.
