I think we can all agree that quite a lot of people have stretch marks in this world. It's a common occurrence, like birth marks or moles. It happens. The human body cannot be perfect. :P
I have some on my tummy too, RJ. I was very self conscious about them for awhile, but I quickly overcame that thanks to my boyfriend. I feel sexy now, no matter how I look. And from what I've observed in men, that confidence is sexy to them. So its a positive cycle, hehe.
If you want to reduce their appearance, exfoliate a lot, and use lotions with vitamin E...cocoa butter works well.
