Scars
Do you guys have scars? I have a bunch of them from working on cars, screwing around with knives, chopping trees and playing with psycho cats. The gf always comments about them and how awful they look. Does you SO say anything about your scars?

I have some, one on my foot where I dropped an axe on it, on my ankle where I sliced it open on a piece of scrap metal, on my calf where I hit something with a lawn mower and it came up and cut me. The worst is one is inside my eye that I got from an arc welder. The strangest is a long one on the back of my hand where I scratched myself on a raspberry briar. It hardly drew blood, but the scar has been there for 20 years.

I have a noticeable ~3" scar on my right forearm from a tobacco spike. I was cutting and the guy spiking dropped the stick and the spike slashed right down thru my arm. You don't see that every day.

 I have several scars from bike crashes when I was a kid. I was sure glad to get a car and only get small scars on hands from working on cars.

Less than I used to have.
Had a decent collection at one time but I typically do well with skin healing. Scars I've had for decades seem to just disappear one day. Even the nasty ones that required stitches.

I have many.
My hands are pretty beat up from working on cars and drumming for many years. I'm always bashing my shins, too. The latest hack was touching a soldering iron with my forearm whilst working. As Tommy Callahan said "that's gonna leave a mark."  Neosporin is your friend.

Hot chicks dig scars. Metrosexuals and girly men generally need not apply. Real men have scars. Someone (not you) should tell your girlfriend before someone who appreciates a more manly man notices.
If she wants some smooth, feminine skin, she should sign you both up for a threesome with a sweet young blonde coed.

Dozens, maybe a hundred. Propeller cuts from model airplanes, soldering iron burns, a few surgeries - all reminders of growing up.
Proud of them all. The GF must be flawless? Frankly if my SO started complaining about my looks, and it bothered me enough to post here, is it time to show her the door? Doesn't sound like a keeper..... |

My scars have scars, when I get pre-op visits with interns it turns into a orthopedic Q&A session!
Hardware? Got plenty of that to.

The worst scars are the ones on your heart from mistreatment by other people or circumstances of life. We rarely show those to anyone. Some people compensate for the scars such as bragging about all that they own to compensate for their lack of self esteem. Others will hide fear of mortality, by drowning themselves in drugs and alcohol. Sometimes these scars never heal. That said, I don't have any cool scars on the outside. Just a few from stupid moves that required stitches.

Too big to fail

I have a new one in-progress; I cut a piece of steel with a cutoff wheel, then 10s later backed my calf into it.

I've got a bunch of them.
The latest one ( this spring) required 5 staples on top of my head. Wife doesn't seem to mind.......well.... except for having to drive me to the ER frequently.

Do I have scars, these forks were advertised as
Quote:
 Almost made made it true, just not the way I think was intended  Funny thing is, today, some people still claim you can't break a set of 4130 CrMo forks like this Still have the scar on my nose, my father said not to fix it as it would add character  Course I have other, larger scars too.
