Because mine tend to be greenish and look really stupid on my face that otherwise has a reddish tint when exposed to sun... And freckles on shoulders and arms - ewww! If one complains about not having freckles, s/he is probably those lucky ones who gets a nice tan without any effort or burning skin => thus, no freckly type.
I'm the type who doesn't get freckles but instead turns all boiled-crab-red when exposed to sun for more than half an hour. And no tan, either. When the red goes away it leaves this weird ginger colour that's not exactly a tan and looks especially funny if I blush. So freckles, any time.
I like my freckles. When i was little i only had them on my face but now i have them also on my arms even my fingers and some on my knees. The only minus is that i tend to burn if i spend too much time exposed to sun light. Besides, staying away from sunlight (or getting it only in small doses) keeps ones skin younger. =D I have always wished that my hair color would match them, though.
the "red eyes" effect actually underlines the fact that this in candid, a "real" picture with no photoshopping away his freckles and pores and blemishes and shit, so I don't mind that.
And the freckles thing is so funny because normally you see none, just this smooth skinned, black haired guy who obviously wears foundation. In reality he is strawberry blond, guess how many "do the drapes match the carpet"-jokes I have heard about that? ;)
