Pluck or yank out the hairs? Nah, get a small pair of scissors and carefully cut them off. It won't be uncomfortable for him - unless he doesn't keep still!

 Well you could just say you were mucking about and wanted to see if men are as wimpy as women ? LOL... My other half gets the odd strangly one on his shoulder.. wont thank me for sharing that lol... its odd its just a single rogue hair... and I just yank it when I see it lol... hes like what you doing ? and im like didnt think you would want that there and anyway thought men were stronger than women.. I get away with it and whats more he lets me do it! lol... Then there was the Waxing saga.. lol.. We were watching big brother and he was like waxing cant hurt... So I went straight and got some wax and waxed his leg... he pretended to be brave and said it didnt hurt... but I know it did! So make it fun and it might work!
Good luck!

Now I just have to think of a way of convincing him he should let me pluck the hairs out. What kinda excuse could I use? Can I pluck some hairs outta ur body to keep? Don't think so. Plus think if he knew I had a problem with it then he would be really hurt. Li9ke if I insulted the size of his manhood or sumtin

It shouldnt cause any damage just by plucking the hair out of the mole. But keep an eye on the mole in case it changes in shape and colour. You can get moles removed and should always keep them covered up in the sun. Men tend to think they will be okay out in the sun not covered up, but this isnt the case.. Every mole should be covered up in the sun, especially those that are raised and darker in colour.
But the inital hair removal from it shouldnt cause any problems.

but just like CD had stated, "since your boyfriend is a guy, and the majority of guys are so wimpy about plucking hairs that he might experience a little bit of pain."
i agree.
if your boyfriend is really concerned about his mole. do consult a derm :)
& ouch!! to the 1st anonymous poster ... with a razor? wow, you're super brave, lol.

Not dangerous at all, doesn't cause bleeding, bruising, vomitting, brain damage or heart attacks. Might cause a tiny amount of pain but thats just normal with plucking

 It's totally fine to pluck hairs from moles. The above reader said there was the chance of bleeding and theyre right but as long as you're careful bleeding would be minimum. It doesn't hurt but you have to remember that since your boyfriend is a guy, and the majority of guys are so wimpy about plucking hairs that he might experience a little bit of pain.
