Do chicks dig scars?
Is scarification sexy? Some anthropologists say scars signal resistance to infection and the wimp factor. More recent studies show that in tribal cultures, scars signal group commitment. A University of Connecticut anthropologist looked at the intensity of male rituals in warring cultures and found the marks imply more of a sign of collective action.
Got scars?

Can’t say that I’ve seen one so far that I found sexy.

“Say good night to the bad guy!!”
Sorry….couldn’t help it.

I have always found scars as intrieging as blind voyerism. I once had an Uncle Tonto who had a huge scar on his head from a fallen set of 3 Balls while standing under a Pawn Shop during a huricane while trying to sell his wife’s bong, it was not the cost of keeping her in drugs it was the 15 dozen boxes of Oreo’s a week that was draining his retirement. Uncle Tonto finally had a skin graft at a DermaClose Kiosk at an open air flea market in Toad Suck, AK. To sum it all up, he had more young women prior to the surgery, he was the male counterpart of a Cougar, or a Kluger. I will never forget Uncle Tonto, his scar and his affixiation to Newt Gingrich.

That was a good story Cicatrices….I am acutally familiar with Toad Suck, Arkansas. Been there a couple of times. One of the worlds best turbidite outcrops there.

Well dang! HRB ain’t that just a co-insedents. I just called Auntie Milf, Tonto’s 5th and last wife and she says that they used to go to the Turd Bite BBQ and Toss Festival there every year during the Dermie Family Reunion, in fact that is where she met old Tonto being they met the required biblical cousins kindred thing for marrying. Old Milf, she still can eat a raw pork chop while humming “Baby you can drive my car”. Won the talent show there every year till last when she devoted her time looking for a new man with freh suttures that would eventually lead to, well you know what, a lusty scar of course.

Cicatrices, we like ‘em a bit scraped up around here. Haaa—Aunt Milf!!!!!! LMAO!

Suddenly, the scar on my chin from riding my trike off the porch doesn’t seem so intriguing.
May 18th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Depends on who has the scar. Some are sexier than others.
May 18th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Lookie here Jody, you right on, I agree. I belive that there are some scars that are sure dang sexier than others, you take one of those dang Carpel Tunnel jobs, they can’t touch a double stich lyposuction one!
May 18th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
And Jody…what led to the scar, right? I mean, a trike incident or an appendicitis is not as seXXy as, “Yeah, I got this one defending my country, followed by an attack from a pack of wild lions and cougars who were threatening my land.” Not stated: “I didn’t back down!”
May 18th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
scar on my head from scratchin a ringworm…
May 18th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Tommy, that’s beyond seXXy!
May 18th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Maybe even a scar from a bar fight.
May 18th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Tommy and Cicatrices, are y’all related? At least by marriage or common law?
May 18th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Yeah, Jody…with a broken beer bottle!
May 18th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
HBR, don’t turbidite outcrops cause scars?
May 18th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
scar on my heart from my ex-wife…some nights it has a dull ache still….
May 18th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Oh, that is sad. I am proud of my breast cancer scars but I don’t find them sexy. I’ll have to ask my husband.

Scars can be an avenue to a person’s soul! It’s actually not the scar, but the “rest of the story” that opens up a door of deeper relationship. My wife has three major scars which I do not find sexy but fascinating as I watch her privately and appropriately relate how she overcame these life threatening incidents to others as they open up their fears to her.
Scars are proof of conflict, adversity, and many times gut-wrenching courage which we can use to share with others that we have been there and that they can make it too! Two good examples of this is Cheryl Prewitt, Miss America(1980) and Joni Eareckson Tada.

I have a pretty nice scar running from the top of my chest to the middle of my stomach from a heart operation I had when I was 2. I think it’s pretty cool, but I don’t really think a girlfriend would be telling me how hot it is if she saw me shirtless
May 19th, 2008 at 2:07 am
May I ask and Logan, those are the scars of which to be most proud of. I have a few of those and used to be afraid of how vulnerable they made me feel. Like you said, they’re signs of courage.

I have a scar from when I fought off a reef shark while surfing after a toughman cage fight in Bermuda.
I don’t have any scars from my toughman fights, though I have given some.

I have emotional scars. Do those count?
May 25th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Can you see them? Are they dysfunctional or sexxy?
November 8th, 2008 at 11:36 am
I think that scars add character to a persons face.

Ajlouny: I do, too.
