I have two large surgical scars across my torso.  The sad thing is that even though one of them is visible across my abs, I am still considered "hot" where I live because I am not fat. That's all it takes.  I have a pretty face and I'm not fat.  That's it.  From what I can tell, men would rather look at a gnarly scar with some visible abs than look at a lard beast with stretchmarks and cellulite.  I should be glad because 100 years ago my scars would make me a freak.  Now they're like having a cool tattoo.
