Freckles are cute on a girl, leave them alone.

When I was 20, I was actively pursued by a man who not only liked me in spite of my freckles; he actually liked me because of my freckles.

I never had any problem with freckles, personally. In fact, I thought Annie Wersching as FBI agent Renee Walker on '24' was freaking hot. And I wasn't the only one. Also, I think Poppy Montgomery of 'Without A Trace' is heavily freckled, and she's pretty sweet, too. There's plenty of others.

i know exactly how she felt when people commented on her freckles when she was a young girl... until i reached the age of 16, i heard, “you’re so skinny!” and i hated it... but i sure do like it now... well, no one actually calls me skinny... they say other things...

btw—when i was 20 i dated a guy who had lots of freckles... i thought he was so cool... i met him at a Halloween party... he had his face covered in camouflage make-up—he was dressed kind of Rambo-ish... i had no idea he had freckles when i met him... soon after he showed up at my place of employment, and i was shocked for a moment... but i liked him... fun guy...

I love freckles. I have them and two of my sons do too. I absolutely adore them.

[GizmosAndGadgets]

Nothing wrong with freckles ;-)

I love freckles, my wife has a bunch of ‘em.

“A face without freckles is like a night sky without stars.”

OK...I admit it it...I have used that line.

This gal came to a great conclusion! Freckled folks can relate. Try waitressing in a coffee shop when you're covered with freckles. I always liked the old lech freckle joke, when some randy old fart would say, "Hey, sugar, if I give you a dollar for every freckle you've got, will you let me count them?" I'd always tell them, "Pal, if I thought you had that much dough, I just might!" {^)

>>And at the start of new relationships, I’d even put on face powder in the morning while my guy slept.>>

Pathetic self absorption and lack of morals! What a combination she presents to our young women.

[taterjay]

She has freckles on her but she is pretty.

[miss marmelstein]

Ah, the freckled! The new, oppressed minority!

[ClearCase_guy]

I have freckles. Where’s my government check?

[Caipirabob]

Love sees right through freckles, later, they become decoration.

[outofsalt]

My wife hates her beautiful freckles. I love them!

My freckles went away...replaced by age spots :(
