Ladies would you date a man with three eyes, fangs, a tail, a parrot on his shoulder?

I almost dated a guy with pretty bad acne once but then one of my good friends got a crush on him and they made out so I backed off (he was pissed about it too). I don’t know any men who I was into or who were into me who had super noticeable “skin defects” otherwise. I once dated a guy who washed his face a lot. Does that count

My fiance has vitiligo.

I think he's handsome just the way he is, and think the vitiligo is interesting/neat/cool. He doesn't like it but I wouldn't have him any other way :)

Edit: more info-he didn't seem to get the vitiligo until about 2 years into our relationship, or at least wasn't noticeable until then. We've been together 6 years now. Vitiligo is rare but seems to be a little less rare up here in the north- probably because of the lack of Vitamin D.

Edit 2: I also have eczema although it's gotten mostly less severe over the years. He never had an issue with it. Just asked him- he said it was never very noticeable,probably because it was mostly on my legs and knuckles.

This is an oddly specific thread.

My husband has psoriac arthritis, it is easily controlled by meds. It was minimal evoke i was dating him--he was mich more bothered than i. Got worse with age/stress, so he sought treatment, the end.

Specifically skin related..

Ok, my opinion...Vitiligo is no big deal, scars are fine, eczema and psoriasis it depends on the situation.

Something that is potentially contagious, untreated or not well kept up with would bother me a lot.

I'm not at all vain or shallow but I can get a little germophobic.

I did reject someone who was interested. This person had severe untreated facial rosacea, bad teeth and was un showered and overweight. I didn't reject a friendship, I thought very well of this person otherwise, but you do have to take care of yourself at least a little bit.

I have had eczema/contact dermititis ever since I was a baby. It blows. My ex had it too but his was a lot more mild than mine and was a seasonal thing whereas I have problems year-round. It really had no impact on our relationship or attraction to each other at all. We were just a couple of itchy people.

What’s wrong with your skin op

This is an odd question but I'll bite. I've dated at least two guys with eczema that come to mind. That's super common from what I understand. My most recent ex has mild to moderate adult acne, but so do I so no biggie. My current partner doesn't have any skin issues other than an occasional reoccurring rash on his rib cage area that his doctor says is from am unknown food allergy.

My ex got a nasty staph infection on his face of all places while doing research in the jungle. That was gnarly as fuck and very difficult to treat, but it cleared up eventually.

DemonConsulting · 2017-11-20T07:14:32+00:00

I don't think I personally even know any guy with a (very noticable) skin condition if we don't count acne... or maybe my eyes are bad and I don't look at people a lot... either way I have not dated or rejected any guy with a skin condition afaik and most certainly not because of it.

SpaceWhiskey · 2017-11-21T06:00:52+00:00

My fiancé has psoriasis. He’s got it under control but he’s had some pretty raunchy flair ups over the years. But he’s a great guy, he’s still very handsome, most of the time I forget he has it.
