There is a psychological aspect to this as well. I think you'll find many people who are turned off by moles also tend to be a little (or a lot) Obsessive-Compulsive.
I use myself as an example. Whenever I see a mole on others or myself (and I'm NOT talking about freckles) I have the urge to pick them off. Have you ever seen primates picking tics or bugs off their mates skin? It's psychological and also perhaps and evolutionary holdover.
I had a girlfriend who was beautiful, but she had these very large, raised moles on her back and a couple on the side of her breasts. We dated for awhile, she broke up with me, but honestly if she didn't, I don't think I could have married her without suggesting that she have those moles (especially the ones on her breasts) removed.
I don't think that makes me shallow, I don't think it makes me judgemental, it's just something that turns me off, way down deep inside. Whether it's because of OCD or ancient primate urges, it's just how I feel. I'm sorry if you feel offended, I don't mean to be rude. And if you are happy with your moles, and your friends/mates don't mind them then there is no problem. But the bottom line is, I'm not the only one that find moles unattractive. I've read from many different websites people having similar opinions to my own.
Is it normal that I find moles a huge turnoff and a deal breaker?
