natureofproject: I was wondering if strechmarks are a huge turn off for guys. I am a 23 year old mom and have strechmarks on my tummy. I am new to this dating thing will it affect my love life?

Well not as much as having a kid. But there's not much we can do about that now, except to be a great mom. I'm sure they are more of a turn off then not having stretch marks, but you obviously know that as your question was not, are they a turn off.. but rather, how big of a turn off are they... And that, depends on how big and prominent. If it looks like you've just gotten out of post-op, then i'd wait a year or so, and maybe look into some Vitamin E.

Will Stretch Marks Effect My Love Life?

If your stomach is all loose and flabby with stretch marks, then never mind the marks, i'd be more concerned with your belly. Actually, you know what a big turn off is, letting the guy know you are insecure about them. It's natural to have a few stretch marks I would think.. you just had a turkey basting inside of you for 9 months... if a guy doesn't get that, then phuck him. Which I guess is something you are trying to do.. so don't worry about it too much. By the time your clothes are all of, if he's a real man, it could look as if Freddy Kruger played "52 pick up" on your belly and it wouldn't matter. Now get out there.. just make sure the lights are off. ;)
