Do guys notice cellulite?

Do Guys Notice Cellulite?

Q: Do guys care about cellulite as much as women worry they do?

A: I think if most guys were given a lie detector test they would have to admit that cellulite isn’t attractive. But then again, chances are he’s not Brad Pitt. However, if he says he doesn’t notice it, he’s lying and you should really smack him around. ―Joseph, single, 35

A: I wish I could say the answer was no. ―Rob, father of new baby, 32

A: I think it's all in how a girl accepts and embraces her body type. If a girl dresses well, maintains her beauty by being confident, then a little cellulite doesn’t matter much. ―Richard, in a relationship, 25

A: Not at all. I’m not even sure what it is. ―Josh, in a relationship, 29

A: I’d say not as much as women do, but if it’s that big of a deal for you, do something about it. Work out. Cellulite usually means you’re not working the muscles under the affected area. If you have it on the back of your legs, work those muscles. If you have it on your stomach, do sit ups. Exercise and diet are the only way to get rid of it. ―Mark, 26, married

A: It’s not the cellulite, it’s the figure in general. Men don’t want their ladies to lose their figures but, it’s likely that if you're developing cellulite, he's developing man-boobs or ear hair or some unsightly male affliction that is just as painful for him to deal with. Chances are, though, you think you're far more grotesque than he ever would. Women drive themselves crazy worrying about this sort of thing but, ultimately, most men are not quite as shallow as you may believe. ―Mike, married, 32

I feel that cellulite is over-rated. Almost every woman has it (except the anorexic models in the media). And men in general, have plenty of flaws themselves.

Ahhh I think most women have cellulite somewhere. I work out 3 times a week very hard too! I'm quite fit and toned but I still have a lil bit!! >:(

My DH has some too but I don't notice nearly as much as he does. I love him too much to care about a lil bit of chub lol

Our flaws are always much bigger in our minds than in our loves.

You know, no matter what size you are you may have cellulite...even if you work out like crazy...
I have a friend who works out 5 days a week and is a runner...and she is slim and trim..some how some way..she still has some cellulite on the back of her legs....
it's hard to lose it once you got it...
and some people it's in their genes...
we just have to have 100% confidence and then it really won't be noticed..if we are super conscious of it...then guys will be

I have one comment directed towards Mike. You are sooo wrong, most men are very shallow as are most women and notice everything about a woman's body. I know because I happen to be heavier than most women. I get quiet a few rude guys who are a$$*$ and mention that I am "fat" their words not mine. A real person who notices the negatives about themselves too is very rare.

To the beautiful lady that posted the question, if you think you are not what the magazines hale as beautiful, then just remember what I am about to say. Magazines are wrong, beauty comes from the inside not the out. Outter beauty only lasts as long as someone doesn't open their mouths and removes all doubt of their inner ugliness. You are beautiful inside, that's what should matter as opposed to the packaging you came in. Love yourself and know that even if no guys who you are attracted to notice because they are too shallow, then it's their loss. Not to know a gorgeous woman, who is generous and kind. F*&^ shallowness!!

Sorry, I get passionate about this to all who are taken aback. :D

omg loved what you say.... yes everyone hates the fact that we can't look like that chica on the cover of "cosmo" or prance around sometimes in that itty bitty bikini we so wish to do....truth is nature isnt so nice to all of us and to the women that enbrace who and what they are bumps strechmarks lovehandles and all i think they are a million times better ....to be beautiful doesnt mean u have to be perfect... i love the confidance my fiancee gave me i can now sleep with him and not have to turn off the lights!!!!!

Younger Betty,

How do you love yourself with all that well thought out anger in your response? Many women who let themselves get "obese" have many inner issues that need to be worked out. They do not love themselves as they are dining at Swiss Chalet & McDonalds. They love their food more.
I too have cellulite but I keep my heart healthy and my weight controlled. I have learned to love my healthy body and my healthy heart. I understand why I attract men. Lose all the weight and then you can tell me you would date a man who doesn't care about his weight no matter how nice his personality is.

Lorna
Tuesday, 19 February 2008 19:33 PM EST

to lorna, i think that your responce to younger betty was a rude, uninformed remark. you do not have to have a perfect or even good body to love your body. and if you are not shallow you can easily fall for someones larger body. i believe that confidence trumps all! i am way more attracted to someone who is happy with them selves than to someone who has the hottest body but still finds things they dont like. insecurity is the most unattractive thing someone can have, whether you are large or small.(i am 5'6, 120 pounds so dont think this is comming from someone with weight issues)

Everyone, even someone with a really low body fat %, has a layer of fat under their skin. Cellulite is merely the way fat is unevenly shaped in certain areas. Weight training can make it look better certainly, as can a healthy diet.
As for guys noticing it... if someone is going to use such a small, insignificant flaw against you, its their problem not yours.

lorna
Thursday, 21 February 2008 20:22 PM EST

Cellulite is the hardest thing to get rid off! A lot of woman in all sizes have it. Just diet and exercise will not get rid of it entirely! All the women on the covers of mags are pretty indeed and look perfect, but most of us can not afford the make-up (artists), hair dressers, airbrushers, and we don't have software to make us look perfect in the pictures! I am a bigger woman, and I don't have any problems dating. Sure I feel insecure at times, and am working on losing weight, and yes, it does help a little dating wise. But I would rather be with someone that likes me the way I am now then someone who doesn't because I have a big butt. Everyone has issues, and every one deals with them differently. I used to eat it away.. People that make judgments about other people without even talking to them are not worth it. First impressions mean a lot, but you can also change first impressions. With all this scrutiny on society already, cellulite should be as far from your mind as mars is from the planet!

Men probably notice cellulite just as much as women notice bald spots and comb overs. That said, people need to get over themselves and figure out what their priorities are in a relationship.

Lorna that was horribly shallow of you. People don't love food more than themselves, they love the taste of food, and I think we are all guilty of that...

I am 6 foot and 150 lbs and attract many men, and once, I fell for a man who was quite heavy, I thought he was wonderful.

I fell for him because his personality was really something amazing, and he had the most entrancing blue eyes. I would have taken him over any goodlooking man I had ever met in my past. Why? Because people who think they're too dam good looking are ugly inside, they don't take the time to develope personalities, the rely solely on their looks.

I once dated a male model, and he was extremely good looking, but as I got to know him I couldn't stand his self absorbed, fat people hating personality. Any time we walked past anyone who wasn't perfect he would whisper to me what he thought about them and laugh...

We all have a bit of chub, but if someone isn't going to like you just because of that, they're a horrible person inside and you wouldn't want to know them anyways!

Wow Lorna, you really didn't have much of a comeback now did you? hahah. I didn't think your first comment was THAT bad (maybe worded poorly) but once the comments started coming in your response turned very elementary school. I was just waiting for you to be all "shut up you stupid head fatty-fat fat fatty!"
heres my two sense,
To each there own, love yourself, but strive to be healthy
Personality is what makes people who they are, you can be thin or heavy and still be an a$$hole

And for the record, i'm 5'4 and 130 lbs so like my opinions, i'm right in the middle :)

Women and gay men won't answer this question!

The truth..some cello can be a little gross! Depends where it is and how much.

On the other hand I like a meat on a women. Nothing more sexy then a buxom women! Alot of it has to do with self-confidence. The more self-confidence ussually means the more "fun" they are.

As one women who was grossly overweight said to me, "You don't think I can make you feel good? Just give me a chance!" Man did she!

Friday, 07 March 2008 16:56 PM EST

Alright. So, first of all, Lorna: Yes, I'm sure the world has stressed the disadvantages, especially towards your health, if you are obese, but to what do you believe you have the right to judge anyone? You sincerely should decide whether or not to keep your comments to yourself after reviewing the way they might make some people feel, and understand that not everyone has days at a time to spend at a gym, nor might they have the money for it. Swiss Chalet and McDonalds is not bad either, if you can understand limits, and you should understand, no matter how toned or healthy your body is, no one cares what your limits are, or what you think others limits should be.
Now, to get to my point, I'm not a skinny teenager, but I do go a school full of them. I am 5"7', and 200 pounds. Please, do not take me as an angry fat woman, because I'm very happy with the way I look, especially for such a big-boned female. I really, truly believe that no one has the right to judge anyone else, and I will also admit that I am being hypocritcal while saying that, because I judge, as well as everyone else. Anyone who says that they do not judge are liars. So, after making that statement, I will say that, even though we are judged and will judge, our judgements towards physical appearances should not be as important as we've made them. Everyone is beautiful, in one way or another. Maybe someone who is "Obese" may not appear todays definition of "Beauitful" in the poP***tions eyes, just keep in mind that in one way, they are beautiful, to the real definition.
One wonderful example: Back in the 1600's, skinny women were considered DISGUSTING. If you had weight, it meant you ate well, which meant you were rich. :D

I agree with reality check, because it is over rated people think to much of it, it is true mostly half the woman on this earth have it. Me personaly I think people should forget about it. I think it would help them get over it better because if evry one just forgot about it, it would feel like its not there, because trust me its not easy to got over and dieting doesnt always work. It all depends on the kind of person you are. Thats all i have to say.

im only 17 and in grade 11. i have MANY friends ( male&female) who are skinny and they always diss other people who are overweight, and one time my 145 pound friend got called a cow by a girl while she was walking down the hall. she got really upset and cried and later told everyone she was fine and it didnt bother her anymore. she's now recovering from annorexia. mean comments about weight or anything of the kind hurts and if a man cant accept you because you have jiggle then hes not a real man. tell him to grow a d*ck and move on.
always love yourself!**:)

Ok my friend is a ford model and she is beautiful! One of those girls who takes a perfect photo everytime without trying. I have seen her at her best and her worse (which is not bad) and she has cellulite! She is thin (of course she is healthy) and she has it so it's just natural! Stop worrying about the bad things and focus on the good!

Friday, 14 March 2008 13:12 PM EST

Well i read alot of anger in these posts. i think that lorna's response is obserd!! I cant believe that there are such unkind, and shallow ppl in this world. I am 19 and thankfully i am not suffering from Cellulite (yet) but i think that confidence is a must, also the way you dress and present yourself makes a huge impact on the way people see you! My grandmother always said look your best everyday because you never know what the day will bring! and i stick to that.

everyone have a wonderful day

as a bbw, who is 40 and has been a bbw for 20yrs, without ever not having a man in her life, i can tell you that cellulite is the farthest thing from a man`s mind. men are interested in the woman, just like women are interested in the man. never once has my weight been an issue in finding or keeping a man, in fact, my sister calls me ``the guy magnet`` a nickname my husband agrees with wholheartedly. as for those shallow people out there who believe that size is an issue, get a life and take a real look at what a real human being looks like. it doesn`t matter what you weigh, or even what you wear, bekieve in yourself and the world will believe too.

I am surprised the formum editors removed my last comment (which, by the way, was derogatory in no way at all) and left on all the rest of this verbal diarrea. Talk about biased. Just because I voiced an opinion that none of the readers understood.......P.S. to all the out of shape women.,keep telling yourself that all your cellulite is O.K., (funny how few men have answered this). When your men leave you or cheat on you refer to my first comment and don't say you weren't forewarned:) lets see how long it takes to wipe this one out.......

lorna
Sunday, 23 March 2008 13:50 PM EST

This is my first time on this web-site and the conversation is very interesting, but I must agree with Lorna on the cellulite issue. While at the same time I am shocked at the degree of self-deluded thinking on the part of "heavy" woman. Heavy, big-boned, fat, whatever, are usually women and men who just don't care and have given up on their health and ultimately deserve what they get: a pizza for one.

Max
Sunday, 23 March 2008 14:18 PM EST

I'd love to meet a guy like you in person MAX. "Fat"?????? Get with the times jacka$$! I bet you haven't had a date in awhile with that attitude! Pizza for 1? You are probably used to that. You must think your something special with that kind of comment....You have more cellulite between their ears than most "Fat" people have on their @..

Sunday, 23 March 2008 16:01 PM EST

Speaking personally as a women with some meat on her bones, it doesn't matter how "fat" or "thin" you are, what really matters is are you happy when you look in the mirror everyday. A little bit of cellulite never killed anybody, and in some cases its not even your fault for having it, its called bad genes people. Love your body, and you love yourself, and if anybody tries to make you feel differently, tell them to shove their comments up their self righteous asses!

Sunday, 23 March 2008 17:53 PM EST

haha this is great guys
all this started because of CELLULITE!

as long as your happy with who you are thats all that matters and you'll be doing fine.

Mel the 16 year old, you sound very smart and you have a great opinion on this, keep rockin' it girl

people that are still making judgment on others looks, just get a life, if your healthy and happy with yourself and still talking about what others are eating and how 'obese' they are than clearly you also have some 'inner' issues you should deal with. as long as you are confident you will get far in life, love, and everything else

that is all i have to say

Monday, 24 March 2008 05:30 AM EST

Can anyone come up with a response that isn't all this fluffy b.s. about love yourself blah, blah.......You wanted to know if men cared about cellulite as much as women do. Answer: YES and probably more. Any man who is truthful will tell you this (good thing for you fatties that most men lie to your face). A bit of cellulite if you are in shape and take care of yourself is not the end of the world. Anything more..........get out of my bed chunky! Nothing sexually exciting about that. If you don't like my answer WORK OUT!

MAN
Monday, 24 March 2008 20:05 PM EST

Right on "MAN", its about time someone actually said it like it is. Forget all this happy happy joy joy and really look in your full length mirror and deal with it by working out and stop draining our health care system from all your health related issues.

Max
Monday, 24 March 2008 20:59 PM EST

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh man you guys are awsome. And totally got off topic. To the question that was originally asked. Yes guys notice cellulite. Do they care? Not unless you do. If prance around saying omg im ugly i have cellulite that draws attention to it. If ur happy with yourself thats most likely the last thing the guy will notice.

And to lorna, skinny ppl have cellulite too. So get out of your little bubble and realize that everyone is different, and not just black and white. Im 120 lbs and 5'6. And have cellulite, but does my b/f of 3 yrs notice. Nope b/c i dont.

You are obviously more concerned about your cellulite than you claim or you wouldn't be reading all the comments on this site:)

Steph
Tuesday, 25 March 2008 19:05 PM EST

Wow! I'm really shocked at most of the comments made by the men on this sight. Women, you've got it all wrong. Remember the days when women were courted by several men, and she had to choose which one she wanted? We need to get back into the mindset of us being desirable and wanted. I truly believe that men want us more than we want them. Somewhere along the line we seem to have forgotten that. Why else do women get into clubs for free? If you present yourself as fun, sexy, interesting, and alluring, the men lap it up, cellulite and all. I've been in a couple of relationships, but always have had men show a lot of interest in me. And yes, I have it too, but am ata healthy and sexy body weight. Be confident and happy, and show off your sexy parts to draw attention away from the parts you're not happy with.

ok so.. wow all you people dissing each other lol,
Question was,.. do men care about cellulite as much as WOMEN worry they do.
not do they notice, not do they comment, not do they think you are fat.. do they care as much as women do.
Answer nope.. altho i am a woman, i can garuntee you, even tho they may care in some cases.. you care more. and you always will, why? because it's YOUR body, and no one.. looks at themselves without some criticism, even the most beautiful of us. we as a race, Humans, are our own worst critics male and female.
so answer, No .. they dont care as much as we worry about.

Angel
Thursday, 27 March 2008 05:42 AM EST

WHOA! Self-delusion at its best. Men notice and do comment to themselves and their non-cellulite babe walking with them, any man that says he doesn't is LYING or gay. Take two women on a beach, every thing is equal except one has major cellulite, which one wins.

I am as educated as the next person however perhaps at 4am in the morning i did not type perfectly, i do not care, i also do not eat Big macs, i am not fat i do not eat junk food i eat very healthy, that wasn't my point Sir ( term used loosly)my point was to simply answer the question, and Max i did not say they don't notice, i did not say they don't care i said, they DONT Care as much as a Woman worries they do!. Seeing as you are not a woman, you have no idea how much they worry about things like that.

Angel

In all honesty I do not think guys care as much as women. Those who say they do are the ones who think they are hot stuff and deserve women who look like models... when they don't. Anyways... I play a sport where shorts are required wear. I have a bit of cellulite on the back of my thighs due to genetics, and not once has a guy said anything about it. And it isn't like they can't see it.

I know my Boyfriend has noticed my cellulite, but he did not know what it was untill i told him what it was. he really doesnt care, all he cares is if im healthy.
i have accepted it to be a part of me... i work out 2 hours a day at the gym, 1.5 hours 4days a week i do taekwondo, my boyfriend and i have resently been getting in to grapling a few times a week , and i still have cellulite on my legs and butt...

Skye
Tuesday, 01 April 2008 12:58 PM EST

Lots of good comments here, had to add mine. I'm 40, married almost 20 years to a wonderful man who loves all of me, including the dreaded cellulite. I'm with Skye in that I have accepted it as part of my body. It's genetic, my mom & grandma have it and they have beautiful figures. Mine showed up when I was a teen, almost overnight. I'm 5'2, 120 lbs., have always maintained a healthy, active lifestyle and work out regularly. Despite being toned and having an hourglass figure, cellulite remains a permanent part of the landscape of my backside and upper part of my thighs. Fortunately for me, my husband loves every part of me, including my thighs and wouldn't have it any other way. Speaking for him, he thinks women obsess far too much about cellulite and he prefers soft, curvy, feminine shapes over bone thin anyway. Keep yourself healthy, be confident and your natural beauty will shine through.

AW
Friday, 04 April 2008 23:11 PM EST

its all about how you feel, if you don’t feel sexy then other people notice., that’s just life people have cellulite, but if you bone thin that’s not hot either. Females have always scrutinized how they look. Always have always will.
The female’s body i think is one of the most beautiful things on this earth. We give the gift of life and i would hate for some one to think that they had to be skinny (possibly harming themselves in the long run) to be beautiful. That’s not what we should be thinking about. There are more important things we should be obsessing about other then what we look like all the time.

Tuesday, 08 April 2008 02:49 AM EST

Who ever this MAN guy/femail is should alter there perspective. You are the individual who is looked upon as someone who critisizes everyone about the way they appear, look at yourself for once, or maybe thats all you do! Your little facial expessions can be read by many.. beware! And even the 120lbs, femails, and males have cellulite... its natural.

RE: Sabrina To:MAN
Tuesday, 08 April 2008 02:58 AM EST

I think we are too obsessed about having a perfect body when most bodies are already perfect, be it thin or thick. I'm a guy that likes a woman to be curvy and even rolly. Dimples appear on both thin and thick women and I love them. Dimples are cute. Maybe I am not the average joe blow but I also don't let fashion rags tell me what is desireable. I make my own decissions and I know that I like dimples. So please, stop hiding them. I don't care if they are on the thighs, butt or anywhere else. Stop fretting over them because a few of us guys love them.

Wednesday, 09 April 2008 13:09 PM EST

One more thing. To the women, I appologize for some of these male remarks coming from boys that think all women should be thin. Men may have likes and dislikes but generally find beauty in all shapes. It cracks me up to read some of these comments that indicate people need to work out more or eat less. I prefer that a women be comfortable and confident with her body, dimples and all. My personal tastes lean toward the zaftig look, but then again I like something to look at and feel. Women, don't let the boys fool you into thinking that all women should be thin. Fashion rags don't reflect what real men want.

Wednesday, 09 April 2008 13:20 PM EST

Hmmm, it is interersting how a boy wants to be a MAN but has only become a bore. If indeed you have a 'firm gorgeous woman', I invite you to share your comments on this board with her. If she is indeed a woman, she will probably find your boyish thoughts interesting and probably move on to a real man.

I know that you are still developing but at some point, when the mirror that you look at is your only friend along with your right hand, you will realize what it means to form a meaningful opinion on a matter. Please stop making real mean look bad with your sheepish opinions and in the mean time let the beautiful women of this board, thin or thick, feel good about themselves (dimpled or not).

Wednesday, 09 April 2008 21:44 PM EST

I'm 14 and guess what? when my thighs ge squished together when i sit down or anything like that, you can see a bit of cellulite (nothing too extreme though). Cellulite is actually caused by the unevenness of fat under the skin. Instead of it being firm, even, or just in much smaller "chunks" its in bigger chunks and its being pushed against the surface of your skin (because your skin is so stretchy) and it creats a dimpling effect. Its actually impossible to get rid of it from excercise, treatments are available though: just take a hand-held body massager, put in on a very intense setting and rub it firmly over the area thats dimpled (excercise as well) and you should see results in about a week or two. but you have to continue to maintain results.

I remember the first time I turned to my husband and asked if he saw my cellulite. He rolled his eyes.

If men see all the flaws we have (and no doubt they do) they don't obsess over it like we do. If they did, they'd either be alone or with some girl who's terrified of gaining weight because her boyfriend will leave her if she's not perfect all the time.

Certainly being healthy is an issue. If weight stops you from doing what you want then it needs to be addressed. Being thin isn't exclusive to this. I know tiny girls who eat crap all the time and are very sick because of it. I also know women who are large and take very good care of their health. *Shrug*

But when it comes down to it I really think men would just like to stop hearing "do I look fat in this" or "are you looking at [insert flaw here]" and just have fun.

Okay... A lot of writing. Sorry, just have a long winded opinion. :)

The answer is yes, men do care. Men want the perfect body. Men are stimulated by visual attractiveness. Cellulite is not attractive. Do not kid yourself. If you are overweight and have a lot of cellulite, you will get fewer options and fewer men who will court you. Lowere quality men, who are fat and lazy attract similar women... You won't get men who are caring about their bodies, attractive, and successful. Get off your big butt and work out, lose the fat, and get more offers. Simple as that...

ok well i noticed some people were getting really offended . al i can say is truth hurts if you are offended by someone telling you to work then maybe you should go and work out. most pple gain weight in their 20s and the only reason you can get mad at these comments is because you really let yourself go so please anything tht yu might read shouldnt be taken too personally AFTER ALL PPLE WERE JUSS STATIN THEIR POINT OF VIEWS... now back to the topic yes man notice and they do care but if they love you as much as they say tht can be over seen but if you are not comfortable with it then do something... it only bugs a man wen u keeping bitching about your weight.

thats right

Hey. That's not fair that slim girls get attacked! I'm tired of people saying bigger is more beautiful.

PLEASE be aware that some girls can't help but be petite. I'm constantly accused of being anorexic, and I'm tired of it. I was born this way, and I was also born with a serious kidney ailment that contributed to the slimness. But regardless of that, I still excercise and eat well.

I feel healthy, and I'm confident with who I am. I'm not even *that* thin, I'm far from being anorexic. Some guys don't even prefer thin girls, so we are pushed aside.

ALL SHAPES are beautiful. Whether you are pleasantly plump, curvy or skinny. It's not fair that only the chubby girls are the victims in this. We all have our pros and we all have our cons equally.

Anyway, back to the actual point. I think some guys do care, but eventually grow out of it once they reach a certain level of maturity. At a young age, boys tend to care alot about looks..like size of boobs and whatnot. But gradually the mind should generally change once they reach a certain period of adulthood.

Both men and women have faults equally. If a guy only cares about whether a women has cellulite or not, then that is silly and he is not worth it. Sure, everyone has the right to feel physical attraction to someone, but to just focus on ONE area of the body, is not correct.

Girls, some men might care, but the REAL men know how to find classical beauty behind that.

Guys, you have body faults too, so shushup =b

Women shouldn't be the only ones having to fuss about their looks. If men care about women being fit, then us women should care about THEM being fit TOO.

It's hard to find a straight answer between all the different opinions posted.. but that's just it. We all have different opinions on the subject. If you refer to the original question of whether guys notice as much as woman do well there probably will never be a simple yes or no. Some men care and others don't. Some woman obsess and others don't. If you are worried about your guy being disgusted by your cellulite then you should wonder why he is with you. Probably because he sees more to you then just some dimples on your thighs. Like 90% of the female poP***tion I too have cellulite.. it's minor and sometimes it bugs me. But that come here baby look my boyfriend gives me when i put on a pair of short shorts tells me he obviously didn't notice or maybe doesn't care as much as I do. Being sexy has alot more to do with confidence and personality then you think. I'm not saying that health isn't important.. it is. But cellulite often has nothing too do with how healthy or active you are. You probably got it from your mama.
If your opinion is different then that's fine. But try and look at it from all sides first...
It's not like cellulite is the end of the world.

Girl in a big world.

And as 4 the blokes saying it...
Are you lot perfect?
Cellulite can be caused from bad circulation and is hereditary...
so before you shout your mouth out read up on it...
Im 18 and a size 10 which is nowhere near fat...
And i still have it
Go and get a lie because if you carry on wih attitudes like youve got the no self respecting person would stay with any of you pathetic people that are saying things about a subject they obviously have no clue on

Wow, I have to say after reading a bunch of posts on here I am surprised.
Ok the honest truth, cellulite versus non cellulite, one is more attractive than the other. HOWEVER, I have seen many beautiful women that have cellulite and do you know what I thought? That they were MORE beautiful for not caring. Whether BOB believes it or not, it can be genetic and it's not just because we are lazy, I work in a gym and see it all, overweight girls with none and skinny girls with lots, so sorry buddy get educated! The point is, make good choices and be focused on living healthy, eat well and work out to live longer, and you will find it will diminish, your confidence will be stronger and you won't want a man who is shallow enough to care!

Have you critical men (and women!!) never seen pictures of even the most gorgeous celebrities while they're not airbrushed?? Cellulite happens to everyone!! I work out everyday, play a high-intensity contact sport and eat a healthy diet...I have a hot body...and still have a bit of cellulite!! Do I wish it wasn't there? Of course! But I can accept it because I know I'm healthy, attractive and above all confident!! No point worrying about something you can't do anything about! Some people are blessed with cellulite-free legs, full-time trainers, chefs, and money for treatments to fight nature...but the rest of us do the best they can...which is nothing to sneeze at!

All guys notice the good and the bad. The one you really want to be with will notice and still love you. All guys also lie to get in your pants-believe me I grew up with 4 brothers and have dated many guys. We all have cellulite, just dress nicely, respect yourself and be confident and happy. That'S how to get the guy- when you smile a lot and have a great sense of humour and you love yourself-he won't be able to resist you!

Cellulite, is a normal process of the cellular structure of the skin. We all have it, face it or not. It doesn't matter what age,sex,race it is here to stay. I am 5'8", 125 lbs and I notice if I look closely, its there. But do I care? NO. Does the person I am with care?NO. Because even though he is fit, he has some too. Hey when was the last time you looked at someone and said to yourself, he/she would look better with no skin on? Not. If it really bothers men or women, simple...don't look.

canbee
Friday, 13 June 2008 01:06 AM EST

To answer the original question of "Do guys notice cellulite?", the answer is absolutely YES. But we take notice of many other things as well, so it's not the end of the world. Cellulite will never be attractive. That being said, if it really bothers you, you could try a diet and exercise regimen, if you haven't already. If it doesn't bother you, then more power to you. Whatever you decide, never attempt to change who you are or what you look like just to please someone else. Make sure you are doing it for you and only you.

been married 25 years to the same woman...and I think most guys would agree thats its not the cellulite, but men want to see a woman keep a fit figure, no matter what her original size....and yes men do generally feel big women can be very sexy and attractive (as can any sized woman) if they have kept themselves in relatively good condition...for instance I find it very unattractive if her belly sticks out farther then her breasts no matter what her size and circumstances....but ladies, don't fool yourselves, there are very few men who don't want to see a good figure on their women...but of the married men there are a number who will say it doesn't matter to them simply because they have accepted their lot in life and don't want to hurt their partners feelings...not romantic but true.

Thursday, 19 June 2008 21:06 PM EST

I think that men do notice cellulite. I mean, they have eyes too, right? But do they care? I think it's pretty clear that it depends on the guy. Just like it depends on the woman. Some women will freak out about it and spend thousands of dollars trying to "smooth" it out with every product under the sun. Other women will embrace it as a normal part of their bodies and move on.

It is the same with men. Some men will be turned off and others won't mind. But I am glad that men work this way... it's easier to sort through the shallow ones and not have to waste a second on them!

It seems like there are many men who associate cellulite with "obesity" or a general state of being unhealthy. This couldn't be further from the truth! In some cases, yes, it might be McCellulite. But the truth is, cellulite is usually genetic.

I, for one, can attest to this. I am 5'1", 102 lbs, and in very good shape! I work out regularly, eat well and am a complete health nut, but I still have cellulite on my thighs. I was hit with it during my teen years and nothing ever got rid of it- no exercise, no cream, nothing. It's there. And it isn't disgusting, it's just a part of me. It certainly hasn't stopped guys from pursuing me :-p In fact, no one has EVER commented on it (and I think that it is noticeable since I am so petite).

So the point is- all you women need to be happy with yourselves. And all you men need to take off your shallow goggles and learn what it really means to be a woman. Hint: You won't find one in your porn videos.

Actress mischa barton has been in the press a lot lately due to paparazzi shots of her cellulite. Granted, some of these photos may have been doctored, but for the most part they appear to be genuine and they've been around for quite a while. And I don't think she is considered by anyone to be overweight. she's actually a tall, thin girl...proof positive that, as others have mentioned, cellulite doesn't discriminate! must be in the genes.

You really have issues, don't you? What on earth has frightened you from the idea of being "fat" so much? Do you have any childhood experiences that have maimed you, or something? Honestly, I have met so few people in my entire 16 years, and I know A LOT of people, who are as discriminatory as you. Guess what? Every single one of them has a past traumatic experience that rendered them so against. What happened to you, is what I'd like to know. Sort your own problems out, sweetie, before raining on other peoples parade. I don't know what kind of world you're living in, but Paris Hilton skinny IS NOT hot, or haven't you noticed?
I have one thing to say to the bone skinny people on this planet:

One thing I find very interesting about this convo is how everyone is saying their weight in their answer, like it's going to make their opinion more or less viable.

Well, I don't feel that information about myself is necessary for you to understand my point of view.

I could be really fat, really skinny, or somewhere in the middle. Either way, I really don't feel that women should be putting so much focus into cellulite. I do understand insecurities, but some things just need to be let go.

Be happy with you who are, regardless or whether or not you have some bumps on your legs. Then, surprisingly, it just won't seem as bad.

This annoys me.
It's so unnecessary to actually criticize anyone for their body. It annoys me so much, I agree there are so much more important things in the world, but seeing how such judgement and criticism can affect people concerns me. Those who criticise are HUGELY insecure themselves, and really need to find some compassion. I am 18 and already have a lot of cellulite on my thighs and arse, AND i work out and eat healthy, I really do. It's ignorant to suggest that only 'lazy', 'fat' people get cellulite. Who ever asked this topic question has asked for trouble, my 13 year old sister has read the replies and ONLY taking in the negative ones.
What on earth is our society coming to...we only accept the unnatural?

Very few people out there have a perfect "tv model" type of body. Almost everyone out there has some physical flaws.

If someone is fixated on that one particular thing, then that's pretty shallow, and likely someone you wouldn't want to date anyway, because they'll never be satisfied (the metrosexual "pretty boy" you often see walking around who looks like they spend more time primping in the bathroom than a woman would).

Cellulite is pretty far down the list in terms of importance as far as guys go, and usually something you only see when you're being intimate with someone, or if they're in a swimsuit. And by that time, if they find the rest of you attractive (inside and out), then it won't matter.

Any guy here that says "all guys" want this sleek little sexy girl don't know very much about guys at all. The fact is all sorts of different men like different things. I personally like a "bit" of a bubba on a women. I like my girls buxom. But I personally don't like women with large large breasts. Yes a guy who doesn't like women with extra large breasts. I hate it when they get older and they sag. That is freakin gross! I'll take a mouth full of cello any day:)

I think it really just boils down to whether you found a guy that actually cares about you. Because the fact is if your married your likely not going to have that body you have now in 25 years.

Men do notice cellulite, but it's not quite the deal breaker women think it is. Let's face if, if a man had a zero tolerance policy on cellulite or any extra weight, he's single, and will stay that way for a while. Partly because he won't ever find a woman that measures up, and partly because no woman will accept him either.

Personally I find a woman with curves, even a couple extra, much more attractive than an upright rib cage walking around.

Come on people dont be so mean. Everyboby notices flaws, men and women alike. We have to judge based on fist appearences because if you see someone on the street and your not attracted to something about them...then you most likely wont be attracted to them ever. Of course men notice cellulite! But not all men care about it. Everyone is attracted to a different body form. Dont be getting angry because some of the boys on here are saying that they dont like cellulite! Or that the prefer a slimmer girl, that fine, thats what makes them happy. Just worry about what makes you happy. And if your wiggly thighs dont make you happy...do something about it. Everyone try and be healthy and happy, find someone who loves you for just being you and dont worry about what other people want their partners to look like.

I am 22 and in good shape. My body is fairly toned and I have curves...but in the places where I want them. I eat well, exercise and take care of myself.......and yes I do have some cellulite on my thighs. I think mainly due to genetics. If I were to ask my boyfriend if he noticed/cared...I'm not totally sure he would know what cellulite is. lol. Ladies look at it like this...if you have cellulite and you make a big deal..telling your man about it, looking for his approval, of course he will notice it more. But if you're sexy and say f*ck it....I am happy in my body...or at least try to get that way. And if he's already naked and you're naked and you're having sex and he's turned on by you, he obviously can not care that much.

I'm a photographer and the women on the covers of those magazines are ALL photoshopped. You can be the skinniest biatch in the world and STILL have cellulite. Its not a fat thing, its a skin and tissue thing. Not much gets rid of it, its just nature and just the way all people are built. I'm sure most of the men who complain about girls cellulite actually have it themselves, its just they don't stress about their appearance or how their ass looks, so they wouldn't know if they had it or not since they don't check out themselves.

I have cellulite and I am not bothered in the slightest by it. Gives my backside character :P

Nice chicky, that's what I was thinking. I gotta say people.. the people who are getting stressed and angry about this?!?! See through it! You are on an internet website discussing something. Anyone who is getting mad obviously has issues with themselves..otherwise they would see through it! Cellulite!! Who cares! I've had alota lovers and I'm pretty sure they all wanted seconds..what does that show? I think having sex, or being naked with your partner, is much more amusing when your paying attention to them and not cellulite..
p.s. I started growing breasts when I was 14, and got cellulite from that..then they became a regular size, and the color went down..and now they really don't show, but they're there..if your staring.. I love it though.. im satisfied, he's satisfied..and he loves WOMEN! let's not forget here..we are women, vaginas, stretch marks, periods, consistencies, smells..if you don't love it all.. your gay

okies, to your question whether guys notice cellulite. Of course they do (they're not blind after all lol), however, what you should consider is this: Did you meet this guy while you were undressed or wearing some kind of swimwear or a little tiny little skirt? no? So the only way for him to see your cellulite would be when you too were intimate with each other. In which case he already likes you. And believe me, if he really does already like you, the cellulite wont make a difference (:

just go to your doctor and see what you can do about making it go away. my mom told me if you rub the spots frequently like massaging it, it will break up the fatty pockets and go away eventually. it takes time, so dont think you'll wake up tomorrow looking like angelina jolie!

Cellulite is a genetic thing everyone gets it and it doesn't mean you don't work out if you have it, its a normal occurrence to every women in the world.
and working out isent necessary the way of riding yourself of it. You can be fit as a acrobat and still be susceptible of having cellulite. Females are more often to get cellulite because of our genes , hormones (estrogen) and bodies needing to store fat in our thighs and hip area. Of course there are ways to help prevent cellulite, but I don't think having cellulite should ever get someone down its natural, and no man who is willing to settle down, will ever let that stop him once he finds the one he wishes to be with.
This is coming from a woman weighing 110 pounds, (50kg) of whom has cellulite and leads a active life.

ok, so i think your guy should love you for you, and not what you look like. I think curvy women are goregous. True i am 5'7 and 160 pounds, and i have someone that loves me for me. And doesnt want me to change. I have cellulite, and i hide it when i can, its gross to me, but i make do with what i have. Guys do see your flaws, but, if they love you, they wont care.

Like it has already been stated, yes guys notice it, but if you don't make a big deal of it unless they are shallow they wont either. I'm 5'6 150lbs and have some myself i work out 6 days a week and run 3 miles with my boyfriend every morning. i'm in the shape of my life. When i first noticed it i told him cause i was grossed out and his exactly reply was "babe you've had it for like a year now i thought you new." he didn't bother to say anything to me about it and we talk about everything. so maybe i just have an amazing guy but i'd like to think there are others out there like him. so if you find a guy who loves you for you... it's shouldn't matter at all!

I am 27 and weigh 130 pounds and have a fat @ss like Jlo, I have visible cellulite which I think is off putting and ugly and unsightly stretch marks all over my butt and thighs. Deep down I really hate it, but if I'm with a guy, I just pretend like it doesn't exist. I don't know where I get the confidence from, but it works. They don't notice it and never say nasty things. All I hear is that I have a great @ss and look amazing. My long time current boyfriend is crazy about it and when I brought up the fact that I should get a treatment for cellulite, he said I'm being ridiculous and that its not bothering anyone. I think everyone should just let it go...Yeah we hate the woman out there that are perfect...DIE!!!! But at the end of the day I have an amazing boyfriend and live a very happy life....I say don't let it get you down...everyone is beautiful in their own unique way...Smail and be happy!!!!

heeyyy lushia! if you're 27 and only weigh 130, dont complain! I'm only 15 and weight like 128 pounds. I have such a big @ss it's not even funny! My boyfriend is always telling me how i look beautiful and how he loves the way I look but I just don't know how he thinks I'm really skinny. Im like a size 7 in pants and I feel really fat a lot of times. Im in the same boat so don't put yourself down.

Personally I think it depends heavily upon the age and maturity of the male involved. Usually once men have figured out what they want in life, they've become more acceptant of certain flaws. Honestly, I go to school with girls that are stick skinny, and others, who are curvier and there is beauty in both body types. Personally I think attacking either side is completely stupid. Again, as it was mentioned before, there are skinny girls who have cellulite, and heavier girls who do not. We as women, are not perfect, and to the men who are on their high horse about seeking perfection, seriously grow up. If the man you are in a relationship with, notices these imperfections and makes you feel terrible about them, don't you think its time to give him the boot? If he really loves you, he should love you, and ALL of your flaws.

YES men do notice, some may care others may not.

i am 30yrs, 5ft 2inches and a half at 125-130lbs. i exercise, drink tons of water, eat little sugar, lift weights and love walking. I have a 25yr old fiance, and he loves me. BUT no one else's love for u, can amke u love u. unfortunately i get depress about my thighs and knee area everyday (ceullite!) mine became noticable when i was 12yrs old. i want to save money, so i can have laser treatments, sad but true. i will always hate my body and will always have a slight eating disorder, but i try to concentrate on the aspects of my life that are good. suicide would help, but then i would miss the good things about living.
i will say, that my fiance accepting my body has given me some confidance, i wear shorts and skirts and even a bikini, BUT i do my best to avoid reflective surfaces in public.
sigh................no hope.

cellulite is not a weight problem..skinny girls have it too. you can reduce the appearance by exercising and using creams or that new lazer treatment(3 thousand dollars for 6 sessions)but it does not go away. The lotion and exercise firm the area creating a smoother appearance.

im a girl with info for you uneducated males lol no offense
Wednesday, 17 December 2008 00:31 AM EST

I was surprised by many of the answers I've read. First of all, there is no way of getting rid of cellulite, you can reduce the appearance, but nothing more...
Now if men care, it depends on the guy. Most guys aren't physical freaks and so don't really ask their girls to be. Personally, I don't like cellulite and would never go out with someone who doesn't make a consious effort to live healthy. Of course, I'm 5'9 weighing in at 150 pounds, so no girl would complain about my weight...

I am a 20 year old university student who works out 5 days and week eats right and still has a bit of cellulite. Of course I dont love it but is simply a part of life that for me, is genetic. I am mature enough to realize that everyone has flaws.Although I don't love the fact that my boyfriend has blonde hair, I would never not be with him because of that simple fact. To me, the issues are similar. A man should take me as I am or not at all. I don't want to be with a man who does not respect people anyways. How much do you all want to bet that lorna and max are both really insecure people and will likely never be with someone becasue of their own self-confidence issues.

I know some guys who LOVE love love big women. I know other guys who wont date anything but a rake.
Up near the top someone with the handle "AE" said it best.
Guys dont give a damn unless you do and you draw attention to it, prancing around saying I'm so fat, omg the cellulite I'm hideous.

Everyone has cellulite, you people who say you dont, go to a mirror, turn around, look at your bum area and give those muscles a squeeze (I scare myself daily doing that haha, its become a game).
My bf tells me quite bluntly to "shut up" when I start down the road to self pity, (which gobsmacks me everytime, he's such a nice man).
At 5'8" 167lbs I get insecure.
I look in the mirror and no matter how much I diet and excersise the most I can drop to is 148.5 (currently I've put on the winter weight) and the ever present cellu-demon is chortling back at me.
I'm 21, never worn anything that would dare show my tummy or too much of my bum.
He still tells me I'm hot and holds me tightly. He doesnt care at all, until I care, and then he tells me not to care, and everything is grand.

If you have cellulite, the men you date will know, they arent blind (I'm assuming) but if they see it, and two months later your still together, he obviously doesnt care.

If your at the beach, you've dared to cross over to the ice cream stand without your protective-hide all-towel cape and a guy standing with his buddies takes a moment to eye and smile at you... he doesnt care either. Go for those guys, they're out there.
If you're insecure about your body image cause of some cottage cheese, dont wear that on your sleeve for everyone to see.
Dont draw in negative attention.
Smile.
Spend 5 minutes in the morning when your brushing your hair or doing your makup or brushing your teeth, to point out the 10 things you like about yourself. Thats two compliments a minute when you first wake up!
Men will notice more if you act like an ice princess, or hatefull and shallow. They'll notice yoour negativity long before they will ever notice the dimples on your bum.

cellulite is not something you can relate to a big belly, or something of that nature; cellulite is genetic and something that women cannot fully get rid of but only lessen it. to lessen cellulite, massaging the problem area every day for a good amount of time will help. just because women have cellulite on their thighs does not mean they're unhealthy or do not work out, that is 100% false. working out that problem area will not make the cellulite go away, sorry ladies! once again, you can only lessen it.

I was reading the comments about bfs chatting online. I just found out that my bf was chatting on all these sex sites. It took me forever for him to admit it. He says that he would never meet up with them because he loves me and wants to move in with me. Sometimes I'm a sucker for what he says to me. I believe him when he tells me that he would never cheat on me. I just don't know. He says that he joined these sites for more fantasy play. He says he only emails, no chatting, but he has girls telling him their fantasies and asking if they can meet up. I found all this out because I know his password to his email. Since I found out, he has apologized and said he was wrong. He also promised me that he would never do it again. He said he's embarrassed for his behavior and that he got addicted. I'm worried that he won't stop. I know that if he doesn't I will leave him, but I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and see if he actually does stop. Am I way out on this one? What should I do? I really love him and don't want to let him go. Can people change?

Well, some guys do care about cellulite and some don't even notice them...or even know about them.

As for women, yes, they do care about having cellulite. It's just natural for them to worry more because it's their body. And some women, just realize that it's there naturally and don't care as much.

As for other completely off-topic comments, people have different preferences and please don't be mean to them just because they may prefer women differently than you would.

June
Tuesday, 27 January 2009 03:42 AM EST

I'd imagine most men do notice it as much as women and I'd imagine most (clearly not all from reading the comments here) men don't find it attractive. I expect most mens' ideal woman wouldn't have cellulite but most men can't get with their ideal woman becuase they don't have what it takes to pull a girl like that...so they compromise. As do women. A guy's gonna overlook your cellulite problems if he likes the rest of what you have to offer- personality wise as well as looks. Same as most women overlook mens flaws- coz you like the whole package. Tell you what, I'll give you a list of things most women (from my experience) find unnatractive to just plain repulsive in men - will make you feel loads better about your cellulite when you realise that most guys have something highly unattractive about them too.
Most women DON'T find the following traits attractive in men (from my experience)
- receeding hairline/baldness
- beer belly
- excess rolls of fat - though some women find this cuddly
- man boobs
- scrawniness -poor muscles/bony
- hairy back
- hairy bum
- excess chest hair
- excess pubic hair
- small penis
- short stature
- big ears
- sticking out ears
- acne
- big nose
- ginger hair - I don't mind this one but I'm a rarity on this point it seems
- Pale skin - again I don't mind this one (even kinda like it) but I know a lot of girls who do.

So there you go, if you were to only go for men who have none of those flaws you'd be pretty limited. Plus you'd probably be missing out on some great guys who have loads to offer you sexually and romantically just because of some silly flaws. Therefore I wouldn't be worried about any guy who doesn't want to be with you because your body isn't shapely and taut in the ideal way - not worth knowing. Obviously has an overly critical personality.
A decent guy will notice your flaws but appreciate the whole package.

Everyone has something about themselves that they woulod love to change, but this is how God has amde us and has allowed us to be. Embrace it, when your always worrying about what others think you bring yourself down. Learn to love your inner and outer self! I have cellulite and I'm only 17 i also have stretch marks, ive lost a lot a weight over the years and now im at a normal size, but I've loved myself from the beggining and this is why i think I feel and am this way! God Bless all of you. and to all the women and men fat, skinny, cellulite, no cellulite.......LOVE YOURSELF...IT'S VERY HEALTHY!

I'm a bi woman. By the time my dates were wearing little enough clothing to where cellulite could potentially be seen...I couldn't even tell you if any of them had any cellulite. I was so happy and busy kissing the woman and having fun, that cellulite was simply not even an issue. It didn't even occur to me. Plus, I have a lot of guy friends, and they are just happy to have girlfriends or wives to come home to. They like being with someone who can laugh at their jokes and be their companion. Hence, any guy intelligent enough for a girl to consider dating will not care if she has cellulite at all. He'll just be enjoying her company. :)

Actually.............


Some of you are just rude and very uninformed. Yes, "Cellulite" as we call it can come from poor diet a exercise. However, there are other "LIFE" factors that contribute to it such as a little thing we all have called...GENETICS and something every single one of us has already gone through called....PUBERTY. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but it is how you use your opinion that matters and also it should be noted that cellulite can happen to ANYONE at ANY TIME. Just because you may not have it now, does not mean that you are immune to it.

Considering there are mainly females commenting on this question and since the response is so high I will just inform some of you that, the little pill you take to prevent you from having babies can also help with cellulite. I never had it until I started taking birthcontrol. Medically, since it mainly happens in females, ESTROGEN is a cause of it (Hence, why your birth control could be a contributing factor). Females already have Estrogen in their system and then to essentially give yourself more with contraceptives, actually helps with the formation of Cellulite.

If you are unhappy with your Cellulite, #1, you are not alone and #2, your Metabolism could also be to blame. I'm not a doctor and I have no idea if you can actually get rid of it (I'm just medically informed and knowledgable). I do know that changes in your metablism can be to blame as well.

To answer the question, Yes I'm sure guys notice cellulite. If you are in a relationship where your significant other see's you naked, then hell yes he is going to see it. But to notice it and it be a problem...It shouldn't. If it actually is a problem, then I'm sorry you are with someone who is not a real man. And I wish you the best of luck finding that person that will see you for you.

Friday, 27 March 2009 00:01 AM EST

I agree with everyone yes it matters and for some men it doesn't. I have more cellulite now then I had when I was smaller mostly on my butt. I think it can be ugly but I know I did it to myself. I dress to cover it up most people don't and I'm not going to lie it looks bad when a women has cellulite and wears skin tight white or kaki bottoms because it shows up so bad. Linen also shows it up bad. Body shaper is a good way to hide it I wore them when I was small also. My husband probably cares more about the weight gain than the cellulite. Am I happy with the weight gain and cellulite no but I don't stress over it I just get up and work out and eat better and if the cellulite remains I will stay away from clothes that showed it up really bad and keep living my life. Ladies be happy with yourself small or big but make sure you are healthy that goes for men to.

Once was small but now I'm big

Honestly, it all depends on the man. All men are different, how can we answer one question for all of them at the same time?

I'm a 17 year old SKINNY girl....5'5", 110 lbs and I have just a tiny bit of cellulite because I don't exercise. Who cares? About 85% of women have it anyway (skinny AND fat). So Imma get my butt off the computer and work out.

There are so many varying opinions, and I have done my own research. There are so many factors about cellulite that it's impossible to pin down why some people get it early or late or not at all. I have been in a steady relationship with a boy about eight months younger than me, and he gets very disappointed when I don't act as confidently in a swimsuit as I normally do, and he really doesn't care at all about cellulite. Then again, I know some boys his age who would scoff and b**** about it like no other. So really there is no definite answer as to whether guys care about it as much as women, it varies probably as much as every women's view. But obviously they will notice, because it's a visual sort of thing.

[If anyone is wondering I'm in the middle, about 5'3" and 110/115 lbs and a spattering of cellulite on my thighs, and I workout and have been vegetarian for 3 years] :D thanks for hearing me out!

I know stick thin people who have cellulite, it's not about weight and even if you work out it may not go away. I think people who have to look at others who have it make a bigger deal out of it than it really is. If you have it I can understand but if you don't then it's probably not that much of a turn off. Like body hair..some guys are self consious of theirs but as a woman it's not a big deal to me.

I am a principal dancer in a ballet company rehearsing 7 1/2 hours a day. I eat very healthy and also do pilates and yoga on the weekends. I'm very thin (5'5 and 105lbs) and yes i have cellulite. So... obviously genetics have a huge role in deciding who gets the stuff. Don't assume it's because the girl (or boy) is lazy and doesn't take care of herself and if the men hate it then they have just seriously reduced there options in finding the "perfect" woman.

I don't like mark's and some of the other men's remarks but they are giving their point of view... The Question asked for a mans point of view.
I only weigh 97pounds (5'3), I'm a gym junky and I HAVE CELLULITE!
I hate my cellulite and I try lots of treatments that can help but none really work. people with this condition is not lazy! I lost 10pounds not because I want to lose weight but because I'm trying to get rid of cellulite! If I keep going like this I'll end up weighing 85pounds! But still I'll have cellulite!
I have a BF and he probably notice my dimples (men are stupid but not blind!) but he is still with me after more than2 years...
If it is such a big deal for him i'm sure he would have left me by now?
He would not dare to tell me that I have cellulite. He knows that it would hurt my feelings.

Cellulite can be genetic too. When I weighed 108 pounds at 5'7" I had cellulite. I was toned and at the gym 5 times a week, size 0 was big on me. I had no body fat and still - cellulite. It really was not fair. A few years later I am not in as good of shape, I have had a serious illness that has left me not being able to do much physical exercise while also making my metabolism come to a screeching halt. I am now 130+ and wear a size 4. I still have cellulite and you know what I don't care! I don't wear shorts in public but I wear lingerie for my husband. I am TIRED of having cellulite dictate whether my husband see me naked. By the way that his body responds to me in something little and lacy I am going to say he doesn't mind cellulite that much.;)

Cellulite.. Face it, It's never exactly a turn on if it's terrible but a medium amount on the ass or thighs is normal! To be honest I'd rather a nice body with some cellulite than a not-so-hot figure with none! Also alot of men don't even know what it is so ladies, relax! You know what else isnt attractive? An ignorant personality.... *cough*...MAN.. It's nice to have somethin to shake and for men to have something they can hold onto! And anybody with a nice curvy ass is gonna have it unless VERY lucky..!

There is no "cure" for cellulite, it's not a condition or a disease. 90% of all women have it, even the skinny ones. It's just what skin looks like after a certain age, with varying degrees depending on the person. Judging it is about as ridiculous as judging people for having gray hairs, wrinkles or freckles. It's natural, it's normal and it's part of life.

I weigh 105 pounds and I have cellulite on my thighs and bum, as well as stretch marks on my hips and the backs of my legs. I'm not a heavy girl at all, but I have many flaws as far as my body goes. My fiance, however, doesn't mind at all. He may notice, but it doesn't bother him. You can think he's lying to my face, but I know without a doubt that I attract him. Everyone's attracted to different things. Some guys don't mind a bit of heaviness down below so long as the tummy is smaller, some like the opposite. Some like really heavy girls, and some like skinny girls.

I notice flaws in my fiance as well. He's really fit and has done sports and such, he has a nice body. But he has small flaws. Acne on his back for one. Cauliflower ears from wrestling damage. And he's starting to get hair on his back. I notice, naturally. But it doesn't bother me at all. I still find him incredibly sexy and beautiful (yes, a man can be beautiful to a woman.) Just as he finds me the same way. Flaws are there, and yes I'll admit that I'm self conscious about mine, but if you find the right person it's quite easy to just look past them.

NOBODY'S perfect.

Period.

If you're fully informed about what causes cellulite, then you'd know that obviously drinking lots of water, working out, and massaging will reduce the appearance, however if it's in your genes, then you probably can lessen the appearance by a good amount but when you squeeze your muscles, you'd still see it. Many women have cellulite, and it is quite normal.
I just asked my husband the posted question, and he said as long as a girl works out, eats healthy, takes good care of herself, and is aware of her cellulite, a little amount of cellulite will not matter. If you're close enough to your guy, I think all he wants to see is that you still want to look good for him by exercising and eating healthy. I know many women that just give up taking care of themselves after they find "the one", and that is not attractive; it is a turn on for most of the guys to see their women wanting to look good for them.
I do an hour of intense cardio everyday and I do weights 3 days a week, I eat very healthy, but when I squeeze my muscles, cellulite shows up, and I don't think anybody in this world hates my cellulite as much as I do, but I'm doing my best to get rid of them and this is me and life. So work out hard, eat healthy and at the end if you still have cellulite just try to be happy because you know you're doing your best.

Cellulite is caused by a hormonal imbalance and toxin build up from eating processed, heated foods that are made up of dirty protein.

Nothing to do with weight or how much you work out. All to do with what you put in.

as a woman in my 40's I will tell you that a man will choose a slim woman over a larger one due to the fact no man wants to be seen with a larger woman who may not be worn as a brooch. Arm candy is still prevelent in this day and age. I don't know if any of you know who Twiggy was in the 60's but she started the bull of women being stick insects. We have her to thank for non acceptance of larger women. But media does dictate who is attractive, too bad it's the thin, because most thin people Ihave met I do have one thing to say, I know that when the time comes I can lose the weight but stupid truly is forever. That goes for the beer gutted men who look at women with the thoughts of Gee she would be great looking if she lost a few pounds, meanwhile he has a serious but crack happening but cellulite on a woman isn't considered attractive. The individual that posted the fact that art a few centuries ago was that of buxom women was right it was the 1920's,flappers that paved the way for the 20th century

That's funny, because I don't eat 'dirty protein', work out six days a week and STILL have cellulite. Working out diminishes appearance, yes, but not the cellulite itself. But even people who have great diets (I'm a personal trainer) can get it. btw, cooking food can actually up the nutrition of certain foods, so this whole dirty protein theory isn't really sound unless you're talking about just microwaving food, which I'm against.

wow this is obviously a hot topic! I agree with MAX and some of you other ladies. Guys will notice if you do. If you play up your assets he is less likely to care. But lets not kid ourselves, get your ass off the couch and go to the gym. If it is such an issue then do something about it. I have a back injury from softball so I am suffering the effects of not being able to work out, but as soon as I am able to I will be working my 5'5 118 pound ass off!!!

Wow this is a hot topic apparently. I am 18 years old, 5'5, and weigh 118 lbs. I play softball, run cross country, and road bike. I love working out and I want to go to college to become a nutritionist. I have had a back injury for the past year and I am suffering the effects of not being able to work out. Despite my healthy lifestyle, I have cellulite on my legs. Things can happen to create setbacks in our physique, but we have to get right back on the band-waggon and work it out. My bf thinks I am beautiful. If you draw attention to your assets and pretend that you don't notice your cellulite he wont notice all that much. Lets be real tho, he does care even if he doesn't show it. You can reduce the obviousness but you need to get rid of it!!! Cellulite is gross and your man doesn't want a piece of that cheese!!!

ok question to guy who is like "babes on beach, one has cellulite, which one wins?" ok i'm very in shape have a flat stomach and decent boobs, nice legs and the fattest ass ive ever seen that still looks good on a girl my size (i do love my body :) sorry if i sound C***y but flaunt it.. lol) anyway, i have cellulite under my ass on my legs a little bit cuz my ass weighs it down cuz its so huge! i work out but my bf is like baby dont lose that butt and im like OK! so... who wins? the babe with the curves and pretty face and some cellulite or the babe with the nice model body and pretty face? i think it depends on the guy, some guys like curves (most) and some guys are a bit too shallow, and some guys like skinny girls that they are kind of afraid to break in bed..

Personally, I think cellulite is sexy. Obviously if not if it's way out of control, but every girl has a little, and it's real. There is good and there is bad. I think women get way too critical of themselves. Be happy the way you are, what's the point of living if you can't just let go and enjoy yourself. So if you have some, I guarantee you that I'm not alone. Other men find cellulite sexy as well. We don't all want that flawless model type, some of us want a girl that looks and is real. So don't fret, there are men out there waiting to love you just as you are!

I (34 year old man) think cellulite is unacceptable, why? because it is preventable.

On average, it is the product of sedentary life, over eating, or eating the wrong stuff; you may blame food engineering for the additives to otherwise healthy food, or misleading nutrition facts labels.

You may be the kind of woman that does a lot of exercise, but still fail to cover another variable needed to be in shape, such as eating too much based o the idea that you burnt lots of calories. Bottom line, it tells me in a biological perspective, that she will not be a good partner to raise children with, because she is not physically active enough to care for 2 or 3 kids, and that she is eating more than she needs, signaling eating disorders that may compromise the chances of our children eating before she does; or simply picking the wrong food for our kids to eat.

I know depending on your life's priorities the body you may have, and by no means I infer that all cellulite bearing woman are bad mothers, is just my "biological" guess, a split second decision that may change the course of my life by picking the right woman, and yes, cellulite can be one signal, even when we are not perfect ourselves.

Furthermore, the reason we (man) put a lot of emphasis in cellulite is because if there is no fat there, it signals there is no fat in the whole body, since when loosing weight it is the last deposit to show it, just like the abs area in man.


My girlfriend has cellulite and I love her; not her the cellulite. I let her know constantly about it, I just cant help it. She has being improving a lot since we met, and her progress prompts me to improve, as opposed to other posts saying "guys have love handles too, so we have a tie", I don't think it works like that, we are talking of the human race being better, not tied to other person's physical misery.

I came to this conclusion with an unintended experiment. I am bald, so a few years ago I was bald and fat; and it was impossible to grab women's attention, as compared when I had hair and an athletic body. I thought I was getting old and was part of life, ugly from now on, big sized jeans, etc.

However, since I went back to skateboarding and hitting the gym, my body is as athletic as before, still bald but I'm able to get the attention of the prettiest girls, and it was when I realized that the opposite sex only penalizes such "defects" that are due to our own carelessness, and not those that we can't control such as baldness, or a bigger than average nose which you can't reduce it by eating moderately and exercising as opposed to fat cellulite.

I'm honest and maybe raw, but I just want you all to be the best that you can be, for a sexier world!

Having or not having cellulite goes beyond looks, instead it tells a story.

Im 18, and i have cellulite on the back of my legs. Not a whole bunch but i do have it. Its part of life, im an active person, i did gymnastics when i was young for 7 years, i did swimming, i did karate, now i do field hockey, i run, i jog, i eat healthy. Its really nothing to be overly concerned about. Every body is going to be different, you'll have different flaws, but honestly be healthy. Sure, have take out here and there, i wont lie i do it, but i take care of myself afterwards. Everyone is beautiful for different reasons and really i think the media has put it in our head that cellulite or any kind of body flaw is a terrible thing to have. Its part of growing up, your not going to look like you did when you were 16 when your 28, your body changes.

Im doing a society project on Media Impact on body image, and the media does play a really big role in how we see ourselves, anyone can deny it, or say what they want, but its true. You watch tv, you go shopping, you read a magazine, you walk down the street and see a billboard with how body image should be. It will define what you buy, or eat, or what you wear but

honestly.
just be confident, and love yourself.

Im 5'6/7 and 150, but im not "fat", i don't look my weight, and knowing how much i weigh sometimes effects me, but when it comes down to it I love myself, because theres no point in hating and criticizing your body when its the only one you've got.

I am really thin, but unfortunately have cellulite (I'm pear shaped).

My ex once told me he'd noticed I had cellulite on the back of my thighs, and said "It doesn't matter, it gives you an air of being natural. Nobody's perfect".

It made me feel like S***. F*** it men, we don't choose. Yes a lot of overweight people have cellulite, but it's not the only requirement. I'm thin, and I have it, and I'm really embarrassed because men think everyone should look like a plastic, airbrushed playmate.

Now I'm single and I don't want to have sex because I'm really embarrassed with the cellulite and small breasts, both which he didn't criticize directly, but did comment on, which made me realize men ARE shallow and DO notice and they lie to make us feel better, but bottom line: if they could change us into Barbie looking women, they would, in a second!!!

hi everyone, i would just like to say that i have been with my boyfriend for a year and half. Suprisingly he has never noticed my cellulite. I am a small british size 8 and am very toned and fit but i actualy have quite alot of it on my butt. Ive had a few boyfriends in the past and none have ever noticed my cellulite. I honestly think that if you dress nice and draw attention to your best features then people wont notice ur bad parts.

In all honesty guys can be such A***s about things like that, not all of them, but they certainly like to judge and a lot of them that I've dated dish out fat comments (and I'm 5'4 and 115 lbs mind you...) but can't take a negative comment themselves without being all hurt and saying how unappreciative we are.

Suck it. I have cellulite, it's in my genes. I know tons of girls that do regardless of their weight. Who cares what everyone else thinks about your cellulite. Feel beautiful in your own skin!

I am 16 years old. I work out EVERY single day of my life. I work out in the gym (on the elliptical), I lift weights, and I do toning exercises for my thighs and glutes. I also play tennis 5-6 days per week. I am a vegetarian, and I only eat organic foods. I have always been very petite. I weigh around 98 pounds and I am 5 feet, 4 inches. I don't even get my period because I am too small. My doctor told me to gain some weight so that I can have a regular period. So I got up to around 98 pounds, which seems more healthy. Before, I was too thin. Guess what!! I HAVE CELLULITE! I had a little bit when I weight 92 pounds, and now I have a little bit more of it at 98 pounds. It is inevitable! I hope no guys are turned off my it. I am very toned and in shape. I just have that one little problem area. It is not going to go away.

It's nice to pretend that our flaws go unnoticed, but they DON'T. Yeah, I have cellulite, I'm 5'11 and 128lbs. That's kinda slim. It just happens, and you know why it happens? Because a lot of women yo-yo diet, gaining weight means enlarged fat cells and stretched skin which equals the dreaded cellulite. Tough. If you care so much about your cellulite, don't go looking around for sympathy to tell you it's okay - if you care so much about it do whatever you can to make yourself happy. If cellulite is making you miserable than do a few squats once in a while, eat a carrot, and have a good day. Guys notice, girls notice, it's not just a trick of the eyes.

I work out for 1-3 hours 5-6 times a week and I still have cellulite :) So working it out doesn't get rid of cellulite, but it tones your body and gives you lots of self-confidence! Then you won't even notice the cellulite :)

Monday, 05 July 2010 13:47 PM EST

I'm a skinny girl and I still have cellulite! Shut up about diet and exercise. I do all of that almost to the letter and monitor my calories very carefully. I'm 22 and haven't touched a dessert in years. Go to the gym every day for an hour and a half with a personal trainer. Still got it. If cellulite is a deal breaker in a relationship, maybe you need to take a look at yourself or the person you're with and rethink your priorities.

Listen, almost everyone in this world had cellulite, male or female. Just because you have it on your legs or your stomach, doesn't make you fat or any less beautiful. Being a beautiful person isn't about what's on the outside, it's about what comes from within. And, if you're worried about what the guys will think of you, stop worrying, because there's a guy out there waiting for you. And when that person comes along, he's not worried about the little flaws here and there, he cares about the person you are. Be happy with yourself because it's about what's on the inside that counts. And maybe, if you think you wanna get into better shape, maybe go for a walk around the neighborhood, or do some situps, but don't let these little things get to you, everyone has imperfections. In fact, if you didn't have any meat on you at all and you were just skin and bones, I'd be worried. So love the skin you in, because it's what's inside that makes you the unique person that you are.
Hope this helped and god bless you all,

I'm a 26 year old guy and I've just noticed cellulite on my butt for the first time (never really noticed it before). I spent 9 months in and out of a wheel chair fighting what was probably a nerve entrapment syndrome in both legs. In the process of inactivity I gained more weight than I had ever in my life (probably around 28-33% body fat). I'm getting back into shape, but now from the looks of it, I've got dimples on my butt.

Kinda strange since men aren't supposed to get it there.

Oh well.

Alright, this list of comments is ridiculously long so I only read wherever my scrollbar landed me. Many feuds, many opinions, many stories, many facts. I clicked on this to get the truth, so it's helped slightly. Everyone's opinion is affective, negative or positive.
I am a 16 year old junior, I have straight A's, I'm a poP***r actress in my town, I excel in art, I have beautiful hair, sea-green eyes, a tiny waist, I have a variety of friends. BUT I'm 5'1" weighing 120 pounds and I have cellulite that makes my extremely self-conscious. Since I went from 105 to 120 my confidence has plummeted. Yes, many guys find me curvy and lovely, but they haven't seen my thighs. Once softball powered, muscle-legs, now cottage-cheese. (literally, my upper thighs and buttox look like an opened container of cottage cheese.
In my opinion, as a girl who works out when I have time(super-busy theater/homework/work schedule) a vegetarian who eats healthy as can be, and cursed with cellulite, it's horrible. I can't speak for every woman and say that all with cellulite are conscious, but most are. I wish I could tell myself I'm beautiful other-wise, believe me, I've tried, I just can't because I know I'm not.
What I really want to know is, with a good personality can cellulite be overlooked?
SORRY, I know this is a comment list, but I don't know how to write my own question. I wish I could tell you that you're beautiful with the cellulite, but that would be quite hypocritical of me.

in response to xuxu, a few posters above. one can eat healthily in general,exercise regularly etc...and yet be predisposed to cellulite..Many women (including myself) have fit toned bodies with a tad of cellulite. To top it off, i have a fat stomach that's somewhat defined (abs) yet, i have a lil back thigh cellulite. I still get approached at gym and have dated men with nice bodies. Cellulite is found on many men as well. No, (as you pointed out) you probably can't control baldness but you can control a pot belly. Not saying you had one,just giving an example of numerous men..who complain about cellulite which i agree can be unsightly, (the more of it, the worse it looks)but you guys (even the ones who work out) have ugly flaws that you can control, and some you can't..so let's not be too shallow about it..we all have likes and dislikes...but if you get that picky, you will b a lonely man (unless u r gay or are dating one of the 10-15% of women without any cellulite). *shrugs*

ok.. i am 18 years old and i have had cellulite since i was 15. i weigh 120 pounds and i am 5 foot 5 inches. i don't understand. i have a pretty good figure and the cellulite on my thighs does not match the rest of my body ??

I have a good figure, good butt, and I've been working on losing those last 3 pounds. My cellulite gets BAD with every added pound, but loosing the weight has made it disappear almost completely.
Guys notice, and it is gross- but don't let that stop you from LIVING your life. You don't have to show off your cellulite. There are cover ups (like Kim Kardashian wears) and clear dresses for the beach. Spray tans help even out stretch marks, tans make women look better in general. Have confidence, do what you can, and then go have fun!...

I'm 22 years old, 5'9", 140 pounds, work out EVERY day and eat really well, and I have severe cellulite. It's not pretty, let's be honest, but it's just in my genes. Puberty was really hard on me, and I've had cellulite ever since I was 12.

I'm bi and if I were going out with a woman, I wouldn't mind cellulite at all as long as she took care of herself. I would never go out with anybody, man or woman, who cared so much about the physical things you can't change. I really honestly care more about a person's intellect. I don't want some vapid, empty-headed imbecile with a perfect body, and I'd never want anybody who expected such a thing out of me!

By the way, I have an awesome boyfriend who's on the bigger side. We laugh constantly, have great, meaningful conversations, and go at it like rabbits. If you find someone as awesome as I have, you shouldn't care what other people think of your cellulite! People who care enough to be grossed out are hateful and miserable, and you're better than that.

Everyone has said and has different opinions i think the best way to go about this is a standard:

If men thinks cellulite is hideous and the first time he sees your cellulite freaks out-then he should be dumped or never looked upon by a women

If a man notices-doesnt freak out-but obivously cares and hints for his women to get rid of it-dump him!! he's a jerk..like seriously

If a man notices-but doesn't give more than a thought to i...he's definetly a keeper :)

and EVERYONE out there while reading these comments remember its mostly a thing of preferance.
like some women dont mind if there men have hairy chests but some utterly despise it.

Its like many things in life..such as acne...some ppl dont want a relationship with a person with acne and some do.

FOR ALL YOU WOMEN OUT THERE!!
UR BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY YOU ARE...think about it 95% of women have cellulite...so i am sorry to say but HAHAHaHHAHHa to the 5% of sucker women who just aren't women enough to have cellulite :p

who cares about cellulite? im only 21 and ive got it, im jiggly also but small-average size, i dont excercise, i yo yo diet and binge ever now and again but i guarantee i always get male attention, why? because I'm attractive and present myself well and have more sexual energy in my pinky than some ppl do in their whole bodies...ladies dont worry about cellulite just be confident and once you find yourself attractive other will too....to the immature men that dont agree with this, i dont care because i probarly wouldnt give you a 2nd look anyway......

Cellulite are an unfortunate thing to have. If you do end up been unlucky and have a few of those horrible skin bumps, just do what you would do for anything else you dislike: get rid of it!!! yeah I know, easier said than done, nonetheless totally possible. Go to the gym, work out, stay hydrated, take care of your skin, use a good moisturizer, for the sake of us all do something about it, don't just complain how terrible it looks. And if you have done everythng you could and they still wont go away, well embrace them and take care of yourself, because at the end of the day you have cellulite and cellulite does not have you, so ladies stay focus and do not allow something as silly as cellulite to interfere with your happpiness, unless you are been photographed to appear on the cover of a magazine and even that wont matter since the photo will get edited anyways. Again ladies you have cellulite, cellulite does not have you!!! cheers. ( btw, I am 5,2'', 26 yrs, 115 lb, fit, toned, healthy, work out five times a week for a total of five hours, have a nice muscular body that will make a blind man drewl, I battled with cellulite for a few years after my pregnancy, one day I went to a fitness show and was seriously jealous of all the fine hardworking women that was strutting their fit selves on stage, so i signed up for personal training at Goodlife Fitness and six months later I am in the best shape of my life and loving every single minute of it. And my cellulite are gone!)

If I can do so can you!!!3

It makes me so sad to read that people have such low self-esteem :( Obviously we do not live in a perfect world where people make no judgements, but I think that many people wouldn't feel so bad if we all just accepted ourselves for who we are. I read many of the comments posted above, and I have to admit that I have a narrow viewpoint. I believe that everyone is beautiful, and that if someone doesn't happen to have a size 2 body, they may have gorgeous eyes, or a brilliant smile to compensate for that. Body only matters in association to health. If you can run around and play and have fun playing sports, than none of that matters. If you are active and eat well, it doesn't really matter how "tiny" you are. No matter how hard we try, we can't all be a stick figure. Some people are born bigger than the next person. I for one am not here to attack anyone, and I just want people to stop being so judgemental. Although I didn't fully appreciate the harsh comments written above, I found it kind of eye-opening that people like that still exist. So many things have changed over the years, like eating disorders, and you'd think that people would put this into consideration before saying a mean comment, but they don't. I have a completely normal body (maybe a little on the short side) so I am not saying all of this through anger and I am not defensive in any way. Please open your eyes, and I would like those mean people out there to read their comments over, and access their motives behind those cruel statements. As we speak, so many people are dying of eating disorders right now. Be happy, live life to the fullest, and try to be accepting of others, because they are that way for a reason, otherwise God would have made us all carbon clones, and we would all look and think the same. I want to say thank you for all the different opinions, because this is an accomplishment in itself. We, as a society, have evolved a lot over the years, and now we have freedom of speech, but it would be an even bigger accomplishment if we could be just as accepting when it comes to body image and things like that.

I am a 16 year old girl, I work out regularly and eat normally.
me, my mom and my sister is designed so that everything we eat goes straight down to our hips, and that is where one most easily gets cellulite, so I have some cellulite.
My point is, cellulite is due to poor eating habits and poor exercise habits, but only to a certain point. the rest is just genetic, something we can't do anything for. so if you, as me, think you have problem with cellulites, work on your inner beauty. make people forget you faults. A butt foul of cellulites doesn't decide if you are a good person or not.

I think men do care. We constantly see older men dating younger girls and it probably isn't just the cellulite talking, but the whole wrinkle and flabby skin problem that we call age-ing. I used to be mildly anorexic and one of the things I worry about daily is will I get fat, will I get cellulite. I can't say that I have decided to chuck all my problems into the wind or otherwise I wouldn't be looking up if guys do care, but I have decided to do one thing that I think would benefit everyone reading this or posting comments: don't let body image ruin your life. I let an incredible guy get away, lost "friends", and I was never able to enjoy food until now. It's been three years and i still get frantic when I eat cake. I have no cellulite, but just the thought of getting it is incredibly scary. I envy everyone who can just live life so again my advice is don't let it control you. As long as you enjoy food and enjoy life you'll be fine. Who do you think a guy would rather be with some twit who can't decide which meal to take on a first date because she is counting calories and won't take a bite of her bf birthday cake or the girl who might not be perfect but looks decent, who's good in bed, and would gladly stay up with you and eat cookie batter just because..

Here's how I know it's a myth that men don't notice cellulite.

When i said something about not having had any cellulite when we first met, my husband (who is a DOLL, and almost as brutally honest as I am) matter-of-factly replied, "Oh, you had cellulite."

So, he noticed it before I did. That pretty much says everything.

Jody
Tuesday, 19 July 2011 09:05 AM EST

Ok if anyone has any cellulite knowledge knows that it's genetic. You can starve yourself, workout 24/7, eat healthy, have it surgically removed and it will still be there or come back. I am 48, 5'-6" and w 130#. I have been working out for 30 years, kick-boxing, Turbo Fire, biking, running, wt train (basically I dont sit still)- and I still have cellulite. I'm very self conscious of it, I dress tastefully and but I still wear shorts and bikinis. Ya I think guys notice - most (not all)men will tell their women they never noticed. It's sweet, but not true - but if my 6' - 325# boyfriend (who has a big belly) told me what he thought about it I'd be crushed. We can't keep out hands off each other and are totally IN love. BOTTOM line, they notice - if women notice it on themselves and other women - men do too - alot of men care, alot don't. Play up your best features and rock it, own it. Chances are guys are gonna notice your tits before your cellulite. Ha ha

Kitty
Friday, 22 July 2011 13:36 PM EST

Let's face it - YES they notice, and YES there is only so much a woman can do about it. I am 100 lbs, work out 6+ days a week, strength train, eat right, hydrate, dry skin brush like a maniac, and YES it is still there! My husband is super-critical of other women (at the beach, on tv, etc) but he loves my body. So even if guys notice cellulite, they notice things like beauty, confidence, and personality even more. Own it, ladies!

My hubby notices everything. When him and his friends were dating they would evaluate the young (early 2o's) girls. For example if a girl had a large butt..they knew when she would get older it would get larger. So no go. If a girl was lazy they knew she would always be lazy and it was a no go. For cellulite..if a girl had cellulite when she was young they know it would get worse as it got older. They would also look at the Mom of the girl to see how she aged. I could not believe it. Alot of pressure.

I find it so funny that the more recent comments posted in 2011 are the more positive ones. I am glad that people aren't as shallow or judgemental as they used to be. I think this is only my opinion, but the more people who become anorexic the more the media is backing down. I think we all realize that those images in magazines are not real, and require a lot of editing. No one had a perfect body, even people we look up to for guidance. I love Tyra for this very reason. She doesn't claim to be perfect, and she is confident in who she is.

I am 15, I have cellulite. it used to really bother me, but after reading these comments (even the very negative ones) I've decided that I just dont care. It is very liberating to say this. I don't care! My cellulite will never go away, but I have a very nice body anyways. I've never gotten a complaint.
So thank you to all the posters, even the ones who said shallow and ill-willed things.

who cares about cellulite? some even find it sexy. i say its all about attitude. just learn to love yourself and nobody's judgement will affect you. someone who doesnt look like a model but is confident about himself is sexier than someone uncomfortable in his own body

Me again :) I just want to say that everyone has flaws and we shouldn't judge other people because we don't know what it's like to walk in their shoes. Many people suffer a great deal with self-confidence because of the people out there who say negative things about their body. I don't think anyone likes to be criticized, and as we've been taught since we were children, treat others how you would want to be treated. To answer the question, I'm sure guys notice, but I don't think every guy cares. Every man is different and they all prefer different body types. Just try to be happy because that is the most important thing. Like mentioned previously, I think we all are special and everyone has something that makes them unique. We are all so different and that is really wonderful

It makes me really sad to read all the comments of people who think its just a weight issue, even when i was thinner i had it. I should have known better than to read this, but I always try to convince myself men aren't as shallow as we think. My mistake as i know I will be even more self conscious here on out. My boyfriend tells me he loves me as I am, and always seems to be turned on, but its pretty obvious this is something he just wouldn't say.

I'd like to state that even highly athletic people have cellulite and in some instances it get's worse from exercise. I am a dancer on Broadway. I do at least 8 shows, 7 dance classes, weight train 3 days, and teach 4 yoga classes along with my own daily yoga practice a week. I eat a completely organic diet without processed food yet I still have cellulite. I am sexy. You can watch me in Memphis and you wouldn't know that a third of the female cast has it. Anybody can have cellulite.

honestly, at the end of the day the only thing that matters is how you feel about yourself.

everyone has cellulite, thats a fact. And when a man see's a naked woman, I can almost guarantee that he isn't assessing her level of cellulite.

however, the fact that everyone has cellulite is not an excuse for disregarding your health because you are too proud or lazy or busy to work out.

inner beauty is important, however, health is just as vital.

exercising and eating right should not be done for reasons of vanity but instead to ensure a long, healthy and happy life.

I think you should love and accept the body that God gave you no matter if you are 100 or 200 or 300 lbs. that said, if you are 300 lbs, unless you're a 6'5 bulked up NFL player, chances are you are NOT HEALTHY!

love the body you have enough to eat a nutritious diet and exercise to keep your heart healthy.

Yes guys notice cellulite, and many of us find it very unattractive. It's probably similar to how girls feel about back hair on men. People say 90% of women have cellulite, that can't possibly be true. I have never been with a girl who had cellulite, it can't possibly be 90%.

A friend recommended that I try this Dr Max Powers brand Stretch Mark Treatment for my cellulite! I've heard of Dr. Max Powers brand, but I didnt know it was for ladies as well!!

Her friend was using it and was pleased with the results. I bought online - that was 3 months ago and 3 jars ago - and I will continue to use this product - I have seen results - it is not a miracle cream - you are not going to instantly have baby behind smooth skin BUT it does help.

I am a mom of 3 and have a bunch of cellulite - that I hate and makes me feel very self-conscious - THIS product gives me hope (along with exercise of course) but I have seen it working over time. I don't think I will give it up anytime soon :) it's a "for me" product that I don't mind splurging on -

I use it right after the shower as I'm getting ready every day!

I've read all the responses at the top and some of the comments. I also have read too many to count blogs about how I should love my body, but no matter how hard I try I can't seem to find my confidence. I am in 8th grade, 13 years old, 5'7" tall and weigh 130lbs. I wear a size 9 in jeans. I have cellulite, but not too bad. I am in no way close to being as skinny as models, but I'm not anywhere close to being a roll filled, fat person either. I have never been told that I'm fat nor has anyone ever commenting on my cellulite; however, many friends of mine and other people have talked to me and many others about people I know about how they're "fat" and and how they have cellulite. I can't help but wonder if they talk about me behind my back as they do the others. One person in particular really made me think about that. The last school day before Christmas break this girl Brooke who wasn't at school that day came in our classroom wearing short shorts (she had a few dimples) to give a friend a gift. Afterwards my friends Anna and Faith(2 skinny girls) were talking about how Brooke was fat and that her cellulite was disgusting. This made me fell lousy since Brooke and I are about the same size. I also have never had a boyfriend. That right there makes me feel kinda like a loser, and sometimes I wonder if it's because of my looks.

I personally love huge soft jiggly asses. I am currently single and live in Arkansas. Cellulite is a fact of life and I could care less if a woman has it or not. Like I heard it said one time dimples are just horizontal smiles. It is all called genetics. It is all about your family makeup and no not just your immediate family (parents and siblings) it could crop up after several generations of being dormant. Much like a red headed kid that is born to brown headed parents. If the world was perfect and everyone had attained to their opinion of what was ideal. Then we would still be in trouble because everyone has a different opinion of what is ideal. So my advice is be confident and learn to love what you have because you can't be loved until you love yourself.

90% of women have cellulite because that is the NORMAL pattern of connective tissue in women. Clearly, our species didn't evolve with males who selected for the genetic mutation of not having this kind of connective tissue. (Says something about our male ancestors.)

Some men have this connective tissue configuration, resulting in the look of cellulite.

The 10% of women who genetically don't have the configuration of connective tissue that appears on the surface as cellulite, are just lucky. There are many overweight women who don't ave cellulite.

Cellulite may appear worse, over time, as the body ages, and skin loses its youthful plumpness and elasticity.

Cellulite is the normal appearance of female skin in areas where fat deposits are greatest. Skinny women can have cellulite. Perfectly healthy women can have cellulite. I don't know what kind of third-world myth mongering is responsible for the ridiculous claims cellulite is caused by drinking coffee, or from white sugar, or from lack of exercise, etc. What's abnormal is NOT having cellulite.

Cellulite exists to varying degrees of visibility. Some can only see their cellulite by squeezing the skin firmly. When the skin is not squeezed, it appears smooth, in those indivuals. Some women have obvious cellulite, despite being thin and healthy.

There is currently no way to change the structure of connective tissue in women. Liposuction can often make cellulite appear worse. Body brushing has been promoted as a way to minimize the look of cellulite, yet most who attempt it say it makes cellulite appear worse. Topical creams and gels can only temporarily alter the appearance of surface skin, if they do anything at all.

The most appropriate attempts to improve the look of cellulite are to reduce overall body fat, or temporarily plump the skin at the site, which may mask the appearance of cellulite, slightly.

One thing is for sure, if someone devises a safe way to change the configuration of connective tissue, resulting in an actual cure for the look of cellulite, he/she will be a trillionaire.

Im 5'5 and spend most my years at 98lbs and in the last month up'ed 28lbs. I went from having a rock solid body now to cellulite gallore and am very uneasy at being in public or at a beach... i dont want to let this run my life but cellulite has really emotinal brought me down.. I was down and stopped working out for awhile and admit i lacked on my health... Can I turn this around.. or am i doomed? :(

Ok, one, cellulite doesn't happen because you are "fat", so you can run in that treadmill all you want. The skin around the back upper thigh, and the thigh region it self are very thin, when girls hit puberty the body releases the horomones estrogen and progesterone, this cause the skin to become even thinner and expose more fat cells( which everybody has) because larger women have more estrogen in their bodies, they have more cellulite. So if I see one more comment in how you work out constantly and still have it, you are not alone everybody does .

Alright,as a male I have to say that I have seen women who are attractive with and without cellulite. But the thing that seems insane to me is stigma that these companies that are trying to sell a cure are putting on women. My understanding is that it has been around forever and didn't even have a name until the early seventies. In reality, women need to realize they are beautiful either way.

Roger

"Google image" the following: "Kate Moss Cellulite", "Eva Longoria Cellulite", "Britney Spears Cellulite". Mmmm, look at that! When they do not have 20 make-up artists on each of their thighs, a reflector umbrella, and a photoshop artist to retouch them, even models have cellulite!

And we are talking about women who are -professionally beautiful-. They watch their food calorie to calorie, work out, and so on.

Truth is, almost every woman has it. But usually it's not noticeable unless there's a bright light, or the light is at a certain angle, or the body is leaning a certain way. I was with a woman for three years, and I'd NEVER noticed it until she pointed it out. She was slim and fit, so I guess I just assumed she couldn't possibly have any, and didn't care to look while we were in bed; breasts are distracting, and so.. well, you know.

I'd just like to say that it doesn't matter who does or doesn't notice your cellulite. If someone notices it and makes rude comments or makes you feel bad, obviously they have a problem. Nearly 90% of ALL women experience cellulite at one point or another in their life. Whether you are 5'5" & 130, or 6'1" and 200...you may have cellulite or you may not. It really has a lot to do with your genes. A healthy diet & regular exercise can help in decreasing the appearance of cellulite. It just depends on the person. It might show up more. It might go away completely. But most creams don't work. There are a few on the market than help smooth the skin and make it firm. If it it something that makes you self-conscious, don't feel bad about it because a LOT of women are going through the same thing. Sure it makes you feel insecure, I understand, but just do your best..and if people can't appreciate you at your best, then they're probably not the right person to be with (because it will only make you feel worse). Embrace the features you have, curvy or slender! :) Every beautiful heart makes a beautiful person.

I have cellulite as well. I'm a little bit overweight, but not extensively.. It sucks because I am well shaped meaning mostly all of my fat is stored at the right places lol such as my bum and breasts.. However, cellulite makes my butt less attractive once its out of a tight skirt. And it sucks, because I like the shape of my butt in clothing but not out of it lol. However, I think men do care, lets face it. They are very visual creatures and tend to find a woman's appearance important. However I've read somewhere that it actually is related to muscle tissue. This makes so much sense to me, seeing how men barely have it.. Women tend to have less muscle tissue than men in general and more fat. I think its obvious that the muscles should be toned up and fat lost in order to get rid of it. I read something about this Joey Atlas guy who has all sorts of excercises to get rid of cellulite.. I want to start with them cause for some reason I think this one's on to something.. read a lot of positive reviews etc.. (independent reviews as far as I know) So instead of worrying whether men like it or not.. we could try to do something about it right? I personally have no problems with men hitting on me, cause as I said its all located in the right spots lol. I would like to have the same kind of confidence in the bedroom though.. so I want to do something about it.. :) hope this helps lol
