No, not the rifle.  I mean from injuries.

So, I sustained a pretty nasty burn this weekend.  Stupid hurts.  Anyways, I went to the ER and no less than 4 people told me with very grave looks on their faces about the scarring I would be left with.

WTF is this faggotry?  I am a guy.  Guys do stupid shit.  Stupid shit usually results in scarring.  Now I know we're in this feminized, metrosexual world nowadays but really?  Everyone has to tell me about the scars?  Scars are the beginnings of a hilarious story down the line.  They're conversation starters.  You could argue that they are the genesis of social networking!  What better way to start a chat than "Wow, check out that nasty scar.  What happened?"

I appreciate the concern Docs and nurses, but just slap me on the back and say wow, that was stupid.  Here's how to fix it.  Have a nice day.

Now if I were a hot chick with pretty shaved legs and all, please tell me about Mederma and Vitamin E, by all means.  

Guys, it's time to take back masculinity.  Do stupid shit, get hurt, and laugh about it later.

I will repeatedly pick my scabs to make sure I come away with a scar.

Well, don't keep us waiting.  Where are the pics and what is the story?

I agree, scars on men are normal.  Hot womenz, not so much.

If you got your scar saving a puppy from a bus of burning Nazis, wear it proudly.
If you got your scar from being a dumb redneck while drinking on a 3 day ATV bender, you're a dumbass.  
Being proud of being a dumbass has nothing to do with being feminized and more to do with some people are just too fucking stupid for polite society and God decided to give the rest of us hints.

I was sent to a dermatologist to remove some possible skin cancer on my back. The doctor started going into the specifics about the scarring and what he could do to minimize it. At one point I stopped him and said, "So basically, it'll look like I got shot with a 45 in the back."

He responded with a very morbid, "yes, that bad."

I responded with,"Cool, is there any way to make it look like a 44 mag?"

I like my scars.  Each one has a story.  From being bit by a cat when I was 5 to a bad steam burn on the back of my arm.  

If you're a man and you don't have any scars, well, you're not a man.

Once it heals, use a lot of sunscreen for a few years. It will help make "blend" in better and not turn purple or pink. Of course the scar will still be there, just not as visible.

I worked as a framing carpenter since I got out of high school in 1975 until a few years ago.  My scars have scars.  Seriously, my arms are covered in scars, my legs aren't much better.  I came home with fresh wounds almost daily, sometimes not even noticing them till my wife would ask about it.

Scars just show that you actually work for a living.

I don't know, talking about scars and being proud of them sounds a lot like faggotry to me.  Any obsession with physical appearance is ghey.

My favorite scar is the same one almost all of my friends has.  Many of you may have one too.  It's a little halfmoon scar on the index finger, biggest knuckle of my left hand.  I'm right handed.  

What do you suppose caused it?

RIF.

But to answer your question, I went to the ER to avoid an infection that could result in losing a fucking leg.

And it's "no offense" (unless you're British).

Chef cutting the knuckle tip off when using proper knife technique.

Edit:  Misread your post.  Mine would be on the 1st knuckle, not the bigger one.

Nah, it's my whittling scar.  Hold a stick in your non dominant hand and whittle on it with your dominant hand, get a little overzealous with your cuts and blammo!  Instant scar.  Just about every country kid had one.  Get a pocket knife handed to you, even with safety instructions, and you are going to cut yourself when you are an idiot child.

You could always get a flower tattoo to cover it up.

Or a dragon if you wanted to be manly and scary.

My kid got a bad burn on the back of his had last spring tending a burn barrel. Feel bad about that one, but he thinks its cool.

I heal quickly but scar terribly. I have huge scars on my legs from ACL surgery and other injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash, a large surgical scar from having my appendix taken out, and lots of smaller ones on my arms and hands.

I have some good ones. One is hidden because I have a awesome beard.

1. I blew off part of my upper lip when I was a kid,  a week before 4th grade started. There was a bully in our neighbor who my best friend and me hated. We decided to shoot bottle rockets off as we rode our bikes past him, lighting with my best friend's dad's zippo. Well I fucked up and lit one too close to the actual "explosive" part and had already shortened the stick part and it blew up in my face.  The first place my mom and dad took me fucked up putting my lip back together and they sent me to a plastic surgeon to fix it. It was Sunday and the doctor couldn't get any of his nursing staff to come in so with only lidocaine I got the old stitches ripped out, and 60 new ones put in. The only part you can really see is a small bulge on my lip in one spot. The rest covered by my beard.

2. I have a nice scar on my righ arm on the inside part of my elbow. The spot where the like to draw blood. I had a compound fracture there the following summer my ulna came out of my body when I got ran over by a car. It looks really cool now.

3. I've had four major knee surgeries on my right knee so it looks cool too

My hands are all chewed up too but the only one I really remember doing something to was when I degloved my thumb with a box cutter. I maned the fuck up and electrical taped it all back together and finished my 12hr shift. THEN got it fixed at the ER.

Every man should have at least one shit hot scar--the kind that looks like you were locked in a phonebooth with a badger.

My grandfather used to say that "it takes 30 scars to make a man".

By that metric, I'm easily a thirdworld nation.



One thing I like about my scars is that they help me chronicle the story of my life in a tangible way. Memories fade, scars stay.

My chin is scarred from being split multiple times, my lip bears scars, as does the top of my dome, my hands are approaching more scar than not, my arms aren't far behind, my right clavicle, my right foot, my knees, my back, not one from a surgeon, burns and lacerations large and small, no good stories, so far as I can tell no one cares, if they notice at all. Generally speaking unless it's a missing apendage or truly massive scar I don't often notice them on other men either.

Can't say I associate with the sort of men who would worry about a few scars. But I wouldn't hang with anyone that had a desire for scars either.
