"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
strech marks??

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

that's the most common place, you probably won't get them anywhere else. They go away after a while.
You should be HAPPY when u get stretch marks...they mean your growing...be proud!!!!!!tell your moma!!! show them to your freinds!!!!if u can get them naturally your lucky!!!!its usually a sign of good training, eating, and sometimes genetics
yeah i am getting them at the same place too
plus i noticed a bit of it on my right bicep
dont know if I should be happy or not
granted is a sign of good progress, but is not very nice looking
btw, why is the area near the armpit the most common place?

Cocoa Butter
I believe I heard cocoa butter might be a remedy for it. There is also a ton of stuff at the drug store for this stuff all over the counter stuff. Check it out. Stretch Marks are also genetic too. Women have a chance of never getting them even after having kids.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
I have horrible stretch marks all over my quads. I didn't notice them until it was too late. Now my quads look like a white and purple tiger.
However, I'm gonna keep my leg routine as intense as it is. Stretch marks will go away eventually, and I'm gonna bust my ass for as long as I can.

Stretch marks are caused by the skin stretching beyond its limits (thus the title). Because of this, it is severely damaged.
Stretch marks aren't just red lines, they are scars from your skin not being elastic enough to support the size.
7 months with cocoa better will make them invisible (so says many pregnent women). I doubt yours (males) are half as bad as a pregnent womens are... All the way up the stomach, lines. It's hideous.
Get your mom/female friend/girlfriend/sister to buy you some stretch mark "cream" for pregnent women who have gotten them. These ladies go into the store demanding it. I'd imagine you'd find something that works or they'd be obliterated by a stampede of angry moms wanting their "beauty back"
You'll hear "stretch marks will never go away". Is this true? Sort of. If the stretch mark is invisible, who gives a crap? We're not scientists, we're men, in the event that we care about the way that portion of our body looks (due to scars) we will make them go away visually, and be done with it...
Will they fade away? They'll go from red/purple to a color very similar to your skin tone... So in essence, they do.
Will a tan help? Yeah, of course.
Need a real quick solution? If you need to hide um or something, chicks use makeup to hide um. You can always do that I suppose.
Men sweat this out heavy sometimes, because they can be rather unattractive. Just find some creams and stuff, take care of it. Big deal? Nah, nothing you can't handle -- if you take the time and read up on it.
