Posted: 3/1/2008 9:38:27 AM | | People with freckles are already at a disadvantage when it comes to the dating world. They are already percieved as "ugly" to many people. I should know I have freckles. If you ask someone who they would rahter date a person with freckles or without 9 out of ten they will say without and God forbide you have alot then you are really screwed. Why is this? How can people with freckles overcome this? | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 9:54:00 AM | Eh, my freckles have never been a problem... they are cute. lol
(the joke from men wanting to connect the dots has become a wee bit tiresome tho')
Embrace your freckles... own your uniqueness.
If you ask people "which do you prefer, with freckles, without freckles" - the majority will pick the norm... without freckles. Stand a real live person in front of them, however, and they are looking at the total person, not one isolated and inconsequential aspect of the person... their opinion changes.
* same thing with hair or any other isolated feature BTW | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 9:57:31 AM | I have to disagree with you, I am a redhead so of course I have LOTS of freckles!
Sure when I was a kid I hated my freckles because I got teased so much about them. At this point in my life I honestly love my freckles, they are a part of my goofy personality. I like to joke that maybe this year I'll be able to finally get a tan, but my daughter tells me the only way I will ever have tan legs, is if my freckles all merge into one big one. 
Don't sweat the small stuff, learn to use your freckles to your advantage, joke about them and tell yourself not everyone is lucky enough to have as many freckles as some of us do.  | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 10:06:34 AM | Actually OP this is and issue with your self esteem....What you are telling yourself leaves you believing it. Everyone has something about theirselves that they either like or dislike. Some of it you can see on the outside and some of it is on the inside. What you tell yourself is what you believe. I think maybe your spending to much time in front of the mirror to figure all the unimportant stuff and maybe you should get out and do something besides focus on freckles. I have gotten to meet people that you would precive as ugly or damaged....and they are the most beautiful people I have ever gotten to know.....beauty starts on the inside not the outside. And besides freckle are beautiful............ Blue | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 10:16:11 AM | | I never knew freckles were that much of a problem. I mean for me they are because i have them every wheres and i mean every wheres. But far as them ever hindering my dating life? No way. The only thing about your problem may be your self esteem to begin with. Besides you can use them to your advantage. Use the old saying of connecting each freckle as a game but not with a marker with their tongue. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 10:17:46 AM | I have freckles - lots of them- I now forget that I have them until someone reminds me!!!
Never has it ever been an issue in any relationship. The comments I have recieved have all been positive. Not that I needed positive reinforcement.
Be comfortable with who you are and your skin pigmentation will not be an issue to you and certainly shouldn't be an issue to anyone else. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 10:26:49 AM | I am of Scottish background so of course that comes with red hair and freckles. The red hair fades to blonde but the freckles stay forever. I used to hate them but they are part of me. If someone doesn't like you for freckles..well that is their opinion but pretty lame in my eyes. Unless they are perfect themselves they shouldn't go around commenting on other people! I just try to stay out of the sun so I don't get more and plus being so fair I am a target for skin cancer!
Just be happy for who and what you are and concentrate on being a good person with lots to offer...and yes that comes with the freckles! | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 10:49:17 AM | | Im a redhead with freckles. Always hated the red hair but never found the freckles to be a problem. You have been kissed by the sun....is what I was told as a child. And then learned as I aged (yep I'm old) the freckles blend in well with the age spots. lol As opposed to those with no freckles where the age spots are soooooo obvious. Relax OP it's part of who you are. It makes you unique. I think its more of a problem for you that it is for others who know you. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 10:57:48 AM | | Never had a problem with my freckles, used to get picked on more because of the red hair. Now neither are much of a problem, plus my hair is more auburn. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 11:10:08 AM | | Not true!! My first b/f had red hair and lots of freckles. I think is is silly to exclude anyone for physical attributes that are unusual. One of man I dated years ago who was prematurely bald (32) was ignored by a lot of women my age (20). They missed out on a fun, lively, sexy partner. I sometimes wonder what happened to Uncle Slick. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 12:29:08 PM | | I have freckles on my cheeks and have never been called ugly. I'm part Irish so I'm entitled to my freckles. I love all things Irish and Scottish including red hair & freckles. If anyone says you're ugly tell 'em to jump off a bridge. Be proud of your heritage and your freckles! | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 12:53:00 PM | I think unless you have found scientific statistics to say that people with freckles are un-appealing to most human beings, then you should not assume such a thing. Have you done such a study yourself? 9 out of 10 people is not a majority of people on this planet who have the potential to date you.
I can say, that of the people I know, those who have freckles are freaking gorgeous. Sometimes ridiculously so, others naturally so.
What you said, is like me saying that guys do not like pale skinned girls, because tans are the hottest thing on this planet. It would be just as naive of me to say.
Well I guess I am not much help, sorry. I hope you get some good advice from other posters. But I would not be so hard on yourself. If someone doesn't like you for something you are born with, they are not worth your time. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 2:38:07 PM | | Freckles are cool, I definitely prefer freckly skin! I even wish mine was but I only get freckles on my face in summer. Plain skin is just boring in comparison, that's all. | |

I notice in your profile you're from Africa. Perhaps the anti-freckle phenomenon is on that continent, cause it ain't so over here!
Add the following to your profile:
"I have very cute freckles"
First, you'll attract dates who LIKE freckles, and you'll convince yourself that your freckles are an advantage, not a disadvantage. | |
