writes:I have some cellulite on my thighs and my butt... my boyfriend says he doesn't even see it, and constantly talks of how much he loves my butt. However I am worried that he may be lying and that he may find me less attractive because of it. Is there a good chance that he lies about my cellulite bothering him? If so, what can I do about it? I have tried almost every cream (more than once in some cases) and have tried scrubbing with a dry brush, drinking lots of water, and I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and eat a healthy diet. I am coming to realize that I will always have some cellulite, and was wondering if my man is secretly bothered by it and wishes I were better? A males perspective on this issue would be helpful... as well, if any women out there have any anti-cellulite tips I am open to new suggestions... I feel that I have exhausted my possibilities!!! Thanks!! Reply to this Question

I too have a boyfriend who says he can't see much but also tells me i should exercise to reduce the effect. Doesn't matter what weight you are i'm 5 foot 1 and 7stn 7 but have this horrible cellulite.Keep up the gym and eat healthy foods maybe one day it will reduce it but it will never go away completely.
kind regards kelly

 Im afraid cellulite is just one of those things even the skinniest of models have it and athletes too, i find the best way to try and hide it or atleast make it less visible is fake tan, to be honest i dont think men really notice it, so get a spray tan if your self concious not only does it give you a sexy bronze look your guy will love it.

 Well, I'm not a guy but I can relate.
I am pregnant, and I have horrible stretch marks on the same area. I used to have an A+++ body (pardon my saying so, I worked out constantly and ate like a saint.), so I was a bit self conscious about it. After a few people on here made me feel a bit better about it, I got up the courage to ask my husband what he thought about them.
He told me that it didn't matter to him that I had stretch marks, and that I was more beautiful with them , because he considers them proof of everything I went/and am going to go through carrying and giving birth to our child. He calles them sexy battle scars.
My point is that he probably isn't lying, and he really doesn't care if you have cellulite or not.
I would trust him, trust IS a very important thing in a relationship, as I'm sure you are aware.

Oh and by the way Martini, you may have missed that part of my post but I work out very regularly, I'm very active and in good physical shape. I just have cellulite that won't go away. It's frustrating! Ugh

reader, anonymous, writes (11 October 2007): Oh sorry, and also, I don't think that your man WISHES you to be better, but I'm sure it's at the back of his mind some where. It's like chilling on the couch and I'm reading a book and notice my girl picking up stuffs in front of me on the ground. I would think, "That is one fine fine ass she has. Damn fine." but I would also probably think, "Hmm, she's right, she did gain a bit of weight, but it's hardly noticable. She's still yummy, and even if she were say another 15 pounds heavier, I think she'll still be very yummy. Mmm, what a damn fine ass."
However, it's not really about the looks most of the time. It's about stamina and strength. Like when we go hiking or biking, if she can't catch up, that's fine, but if she can't catch up and she can't ride or hike and needed rest and stops every 5 minutes, I might just be a tad annoyed by it. Understand?
So if you think about it, looking fit goes hand in hand with being physically fit and healthy. You get what I say? ^_^

Like Baby Duck has said, 'a lot' guys really don't care about half the stuff that girls are fixated on, just like 'a lot' of girls don't really look at the size of a guy's penis, or the flatness of his stomach. Sure, they may be 'bonuses', but whatever.
Like one of my girlfriends in the recent past, she told me "I gained 10 pounds in the last year!" and I said, "Yeah, but damn I really like the shape of your ass."
Yeah. 8]
However, since you really want to lose your fat stuffs, it is a healthy sign that you want to look good for him. Excellent. There's nothing wrong with that, but just don't go overboard if things don't work out.
To lose that fat, you have exercise those areas, and depending on the area, it will take a longer time to get it toned up. Eg: it's easy to work on biceps and pectorals, but a lot harder to work on the small muscles like the forearm. Definitely go to a professional trainer and seek advice, or search Google for some exercising tips.
