Are freckles cute or dorky? ---

Well, I hope their cute 'cus I’ve got a load of them. 😃 Personally, I think they’re cute. ---

I love freckles on women. I am majorly attracted to women with freckles. Muy sexy. Haj ---

I am blessed to be a sun-kissed Aussie girl! You can’t have too many if you ask me…So don’t even think of trying the “lemon treatment”. It doesn’t work (Yes I’m ashamed to admit to having tried it in my troubled teenage years) and it’s a crime to cover them up with make up. If you have ever given someone a hard time about being freckly, well…you can just get freckled!! ---

I’ve never given anyone a hard time about their freckles since I have my own faults but I don’t find them attractive. At all. ---

Freckles on a woman’s shoulders are perhaps one of the sexiest things ever. They’re like kiss-targets 🙂 yup. uh huh. ---

I once worked with a girl that had freckles in the extreme; almost like a leopard skin effect on her arms. Rrrrrowrl! helllll-lo! ---

I _hope_ that freckles aren’t dorky… I’m a redhead, so you know what that means.😉 Actually, you can’t really see mine unless I spend a lot of time in the sun. **d\_redguy** is a redhead, too. His are a little more visible, and he has the cutest freckle on his nose… ---

Again, it depends on the whole package 😉 But on some ladies, I do find them to be \*\* insanely \*\* sexy. ---

Another vote for cute and/or sexy. 🙂 ---

I like them, which is strange since I have freckles and this goes a bit against my “opposite attracts” theory of mate selection. And if **alice\_in\_wonderland** has them then they must be sexy in extremis! 😉 Of course the big question is whether she has freckles on her bunnies. ---

My mother _promised_ me mine would be gone by the time I was 18… mutters… ---

Very, very cute. Very very sexy. I’ve always wondered why so many women do strange things like pluck their eyebrows and color their eyelids, but none of them bother to put on fake freckles. ---

I think freckles are cute on chicks, but not so much on guys. When I lay out in the sun, since I don’t tan well, I mostly freckle. ---

Hate them. Absolutely hate them. I look like someone splattered paint all over me with a defective squirt gun, that’s how many fricken freckles I have. ---

Hmm… It seems that those who have freckles don’t want them and those who don’t have them find them cute/sexy. With exceptions, of course 😉 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/freckles/171606.md?page=2)
