My friends biggest insecurity is his teeth - I don't know the story behind how they got messed up, but he takes care of them now, but they're in bad condition. He's in the process of getting them fixed with his dentist. He's honestly a great person - fun to be around, well educated, has a good job, someone I'd def. call a good guy.

Yesterday his boyfriend of a few months told him that he couldn't kiss him any more, because everytime he kisses him he feels like his teeth are going to break off.

Being his biggest insecurity, he was really hurt by it. He takes care of them now, but the damage has been done, and he's in the process fo getting them fixed.

My question for you is, what if you met someone who was a great mate, but they had a problem similar to my friend's - how would you handle it?

He asks what our reaction would be to someone we romantically met who had rotted teeth, and he expects some sort of varied, lively discussion?

Your post had absolutely nothing to do with his questions. You're just here to sling around insults.

I dated a girl with fvcked up teeth. She was hot till she smiled. When we were out with friends I would sit around hoping she wouldn't laugh or that my friends wouldn't notice but that is because I'm fvcked up.

Come on Bry, that's not true.




It seems he'd also like to sling some yogurt.

I used to have bad teeth.
Until I started actually brushing 3 times a day, instead of 2. D:

Then I got braces, and I think they look worse now than they did right before.

Anyway, ignoring the troll above for a minute...

If my potential or current mate was having dental problems that made it hard to kiss, but he was actively correcting the problem, then I would be as tolerant as possible while being honest with him. I certainly wouldn't want to hurt his feelings. I don't know how I would deal with the issue if he wasn't trying to correct the situation. Honestly, that right there would be a big turn-off.

Perhaps he's not being insulting but speaking from personal experience?

I'm a guy. It would be a true deal-killer for me. Even mediocre teeth....I probably couldn't be OK with. I'm somewhat shallow, certainly in this regard though

My girlfriend hates bad teeth, I couldn't date someone that didn't have any teeth or teeth that were messed up by drug use or something i.e. meth or crack but teeth aren't a big thing to me.

There are some girls that have bad teeth that are sexy as hell. So I'd say it depends on the person. =)

bad teeth usually mean bad gums and the bacteria that causes gum disease can be passed from person to person with a kiss.

call me shallow but it would be a huge turn-off. On the other hand I probably wouldn't have gone out with the person in the first place. Why date someone with bad teeth then all of a sudden say "whoa, this is a problem"?

I have the most beautiful teeth on the planet. I brush them about 4 times per day. I love my teeth, they're so white.

Wanna kiss, Mosh? Edit, fsck that, I'm afraid of you....I almost forgot. :shocked:

I'm afraid of most women here, or everywhere. Too many frying pans in this old Archie's life

Depends what you mean by "bad teeth". Crooked teeth? Yellow teeth? Decaying teeth?

I can accept crooked teeth to an extent. My teeth aren't perfectly straight either, so I can't complain about others. The important part is hygiene. I have a friend who has digustingly yellow teeth which I believe to be decaying. How anyone this day in age manages something like that is beyond me. He sounds almost desperate to find a girl sometimes... I just don't know how to tell him that his teeth might be driving some girls away.
