Are scars beautiful

In many old cultures, scars are deliberately inflicted to indicate a certain quality, eg. bravery, manhood, maturity, beauty, etc. I read in one website www.keloid_scars.org, that the African culture regards scars highly. So, here I am, with the upper torso covered in strands of scar tissues, I really look like Freddie in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, no kidding. SO, I am thinking, should I cherish the scars and see them as a beautiful part of me? I mean, I did have a girlfriend, who often lick those scars during intercourse. I think she likes them. But why did she leaves if she likes them? Did it make her feel horny that she is having sex with a freak?
