Single after 11 years , I’m slim and I’ll dare to say I’m fairly attractive but I have a horrible belly , I’ve had 2 c sections and I also have a very spongey stomach covered in silver stretch marks it really is horrible , I’ve been a size 6 before but my belly is still awful. I didnt mind too much with my ex as I’d mothered his children but this is a totally different ball game. Has anyone managed to find a man ok with this after separating from father of your children ?

Yes another man will want it. Plenty want mine!

It doesn't stop them Wink

The sense of entitlement runs deep. They are angry with themselves for not being able to attract 'better' and then project that onto you.

You have to scrape pretty deep at the bottom of the barrel to find a man who is 'grateful for what he can get'.

Let me assure you that they have areas that start to sag as they get older!

If men start criticising your "faults", those men are potentially abusers and are just looking for any little chink in your armour to start trying to pull you down in order to control you. You're well rid of them. And it's nothing to do with you, it says everything about them. It's not because your mum tum is so hideous, it's not because there's something wrong with your body. If you didn't have a slight tum, they would have picked out something else to belittle you with.

Mine is awful ☹️ but reading some of these responses is heartening

Im a guy, and it wouldn’t bother me.

Im far from slim (sadly) and my mum tum would do for at least two mums now, but i never had a man criticise me for it. Im really sorry that some of you seem to have run into strings of pathetic little men, but honestly, there are plenty of good men out there who will love you and your body.

I've always been really self conscious of my tummy as I had a lot of weight loss in my late teens and then i had my eldest at 27. Split from his dad and was still really self conscious but my current partner makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world and I think when you find the right one for you that's how you'll feel. After now having two children and left with a saggy belly I'm determined to wear a bikini and own this belly because I've grown and nurtured two babies in it and this belly is damn beautiful to be able to do so be proud of your tummy and what it's done xx

I had three C sections in three years so I have a crepey tum, split muscles, overhang, the lot. I left my XH when I was 53 and have slept with six men since. I’ve had no complaints, some have been boob men and they like my boobs, the rest have been ass men and they like my ass. None have been leg men because frankly my legs are awful!

Men go for what they like. Unfortunately some men like women who have a weakness they can exploit. Sadly that has been some people’s experience here and I’m so sad about that. But most wont notice a dodgy bit if there is a non-dodgy bit they really like.

Reading this thread has made me appreciate my (much younger) DP even more. He thinks my tubby, saggy, dodgy, ageing body is fabulously beautiful and he wants it all the time. I can’t explain it but I’ll certainly take it!

Bless I’m going through a horrendous divorce at the moment at 54.
I’m so star struck with you.

TiggerDatter · 27/10/2020 08:16

Thanks @Palaver1 I’m sorry you’re going through that 💐.

I'm 28 and have this, I got into a relationship with a 21 year old with no kids! He didnt even bat an eyelid.
