freak?

since birth i have had the misfortune of having a roughly circular brown birthmark/beauty spot/dot in the middle of my chest. When i have my top off people often point it out, although rarely, if ever express either a negative or positive opinion on its appearance. This is understandable as im sure they don't want to offend me. As for females, my girlfriends in the past have said it doesn't bother them greatly, which is also understandable as hopefully my good looks and great personality override the negative impact of this piece of crap on my chest. I do stress however that this is NOT a mole, if it was, i may have already comitted suicide, as moles ARE pretty ugly. anyways im just curious what average people think of this **** and mole type things in general on the male form. Is it repulsive? and can it, in any circumstances actually be attractive(somehow?)?

I'd like to attach a picture of the thing, but i can't, because im a little self concious, but mainly because i don't know how, and my image is above the 500kb maximum!?:confused:
Try cropping the image. And if you're self conscious, feel free not to show your face. :p: I find the remark (I hope it was a joke) about your good looks and great personality more repulsive than your birthmark. Who honestly cares? Certainly not these people you meet and if I was going out with you I wouldn't either. (I'm assuming you're male, of course?)

I have moles!!!!!! should i kill mself !:eek: lol

I don't really think somethign liek that matters, you're bound to get some looks. Its true that many people wouldnt actually say OMG thats disgusting, even ifg they thought it, but chances are people probably don't really care.

I have a "skintag" on my ear which is like a lump of skin, just like a bump on my earlobe and people stare at me and ask but i just tell them. I've had lots of "bullying" and teasing about it, , but i just shrug it off. theres worse things in life

hmm didnt read that bit, maybe it is a slight problem having read of your image of yourself. i suppose having a mole is a big thing when you're beautiful and have a great personality.

-The downfall of the popular kid- :rolleyes:

Could you not get that cut off? :confused: Presumably there are no vital organs or major blood vessels running through it... :biggrin:

He doesn't need to get it cut off. As he said:

I just shrug it off


Though why he didn't think of that solution earlier I don't know

ya got to have plastic surgery and i seen a kid who had it, looks like a caterpillar got a bit hungy and took a bite out of his ear.

and theres not really any need, Im not that "vain" and it doesnt really bother me. If im born like this, maybe thats the way im meant to be, thats how i see it.

besides i bask in the excitement it brings to small children when they ask if they can push my "gay button" lol

What the hell is wrong with moles adn birth marks, especialyl when they can be covered up so easily with clothing most of the time when out i public.

Get over yourself. This isn't a problem, most people who meet you probably couldn't give a toss whether it is there or not after they intially see it.

I'm guessing the only reason you are so bothered by it is becuase you yourself are shallow and would drop somebody in an instant if yuo found out they had scuh an unsightly mark on them.

For Christ's sake, most people have some sort of birth mark or numerous moles. Personally I like moles, they add character to people and it's great counting them...

edit it in paint and resize, don't be embarrased you should see most of the pics people post on here:p: We can't really tell without seeing but I wouldn't be put off by what you have described.

Pfft, I have a huge scar all the way down my chest from an op and that doesn't bother me so I doubt a brown birthmark will be that unsightly

Wait a sec...you're considering killing yourself...for a mole? A MOLE?!

C'mon, I'm sure there are many people worse off then you, if you're that bothered get it removed, if not don't make fun of people genuinely low enough to consider suicide.

Well with such "good looks" and a "great personality", along with your incredible modesty, the so called "piece of crap" on your chest should be no problem at all!
A guy who i used to work with had a third nipple. He used to love showing it off when he was drunk. Stange fella, he was...

On an unrelated note, you CAN post pictures bigger than 500k in here. The one on my profile is at least 1meg
