It is unreasonable.

It's understandable that you don't like it, but it's unreasonable to ask him to wear make up to cover it.

If he wanted to do that, he likely already would have.

More importantly, it's unlikely that a bit of concearler will actually mask it very effectively.

This might be something you can have a conversaion with a boyfriend about, but you to ask a guy who likes you to wear make up, is rude and unreasonable.

It doesn't sound mean, it is mean and completely unreasonable. This is something he's lived with his whole life that will never go away. His birth mark is a part of him. It's so rude to ask him to cover up a part of him that he has no control over and that he can't 'fix'. How would you feel if he told you to cover up a part of yourself? Like, to cut or dye your hair because he didn't like it, or to wear shoes all the time because he thought your feet were ugly?

If you can't accept him with the way he looks now, then don't bother. There's no nice way to ask him to cover up a part of himself that he probably already feels horribly self conscious about, and shame on you for trying to change someone to make yourself feel better.

It's extremely unreasonable. If a guy told you that you had small tits, would you run off and get them bigger for him? If he told you he thought your hair was ugly, would you change it? You're SUPPOSED to like someone for who they are - asking a guy to change his appearance to suit you is incredibly wrong.

Though, if you must, here is a nice way of telling someone something that bothers you about them: Hey, it probably doesn't mean a lot to you, but I personally get really annoyed when I see people spell horribly and use terrible grammar. It irks me when people use words like 'dat' instead of 'that'. I just think it makes you look childish and uneducated, and I'm only telling you this because I bet you're a really sweet person, and I'm sure you don't want people to think you're uneducated.

Or, for your situation: Hey! Can I ask you a personal question? Do you ever get self conscious about your birth mark? I know of a really cool way that you can make it less noticeable if you want. I break out sometimes on my face, and it makes me really self conscious, so I use this really awesome concealer. Do you want to try it?
