ROFL. I'm sorry but I thought most 'physical component/ trait' topics had been covered - I was wrong!

Moles in and of themselves are not a deal breaker. They could be good, if they were an undiscovered erogenous zone - think the Ferengi ears in Star Trek Next Gen; Or bad, if they are on a woman who is already perceived to be unattractive (per each persons 'eye of the beholder'- individual beauty meter).

Moles over the body are natural, and it is fun to play cartographer with a woman one is attracted too . On a face it could be disconcerting, but then again I wouldn't care unless the person that had them was someone I was interested in and the moles themselves made her self conscious or psychologically impaired because of them. If they don't bother the woman it wouldn't bother me. Of course, the overall (physical, emotional and personality) aspects of a woman can readily make them more 'invisible'.

Funny mole removal story, my mom, way back in the day, had one on back of her neck that was prominent and we removed it (sort of) by tying it with dental floss repeatedly over time. Eventually, it shriveled up, withered and the excess protrusion fell off. She still had the 'mole marking' but got rid of the annoyance of it protruding so much. So, in some instances, there can be a low cost solution - although that was not on the highly visible facial area.

I wonder if this is a cultural issue. Or income?

When you are born with a certain trait, you don't necessarily think about it. I probably haven't thought about mine for years until you posted this thread. It's just a part of me and it was never an issue.

My experience has been that removing a mole is trading a brown spot for a white one. The pigment never seems to come back.

Or perhaps people have higher priorities than fretting over superficial physical attributes?

It doesn't bother me. I have 2 "beauty marks" (aka the flat moles). One above my lip, and another near my inner eye. I was surprised when I discovered them. They are less annoying than the discoloration I have in other places on my face!

I think it is a personal choice. Also moles vary. Like some on the celeb pictures I can barely see. I had one removed on my face that I did not care for and felt self conscious about when I was around 12. I don't feel others should have them removed because like I said it is a personal choice.

When they have hair growing out of them and have their own zip code, IMO that's not a beauty mark!

(Think traditional wicked witch style)

For me it would depend on how big it was, where it was and if it had a hair growing out of it.

A mole that would be OK on the side of your face might not be OK on the end of your nose or the middle of your chin.

There are two separate questions here: whether facial moles are attractive and whether someone who has one should undergo surgery to have it removed.

With regard to question one: no, I do not think they are attractive. In every case the women given as examples would look better without them.

With regard to question two: it's none of our business. The person should have surgery or not as she chooses.
