I know a guy who is really nice, great dad to his kids, and would like to date me. However, I can't get past the fact he has really, really bad teeth. They aren't just crooked, they're discolored. I'm pretty sure I could not tell him that the teeth are the issue.
How do you guys feel about teeth?

Oh this is a big one for me...... I had this issue and I was too honest0 -

I admit, teeth are an issue with me too. They don't have to be perfect, but if a guy has bad teeth- it is a deal breaker for me.0 -
If they're discolored then I suppose that has to do with hygiene. And that can be a big dealbreaker for me if there's a huge lack of it. If a lady looks clean to me then that definitely would be more appealing to me.
However, at least something like that can be fixed.. if ever they decide to actually do something about it.0 -
If he's really a great guy I would try to look past it.0

Teeth are a major dealbreaker for me.....I worked for an orthodontist for 2+ years and so I notice everything with teeth...........0

I would have a really really hard time looking past bad teeth.0

OK -- well I don't feel so shallow now. I just don't think I can get past it. It's a shame people don't take better care of their teeth. I'm okay with crooked... just not brown. :noway:0

I am a sucker for a smile - and if you have bad theeth - it is a deal breaker for me. I just cant do that, or super bad breath where you can smell it 4 feet away from them.0

I was really thinking you meant like maybe yellow...but you said brown :sick: ...Ok that's a hygiene issue0 -
I dated a guy for a few months last year who also had horrible teeth.
They were crooked, brown, and he was missing a few. It was awful. I liked EVERYTHING else about him but eventually I couldn't stand to look at him anymore. Sounds bad but it really bothered me. What made it worse too was that he didn't seem to care at all.0 -

The thing is, he has a great job with the government - DOD. You would think they would have insurance coverage for things like this. Also - he goes on trips and stuff so it's not like he doesn't have the money. Just not a priority! I don't get it!0 -
Definitely a deal breaker.0

I look at teeth the same way I look at everything else about a person's appearance. Certain imperfections are fine, but if it's an obvious lack of give-a-damn, I can't get over that. I don't think that's shallow. I don't need a man to have perfectly straight, perfectly white teeth, but it would be nice if he brushes, flosses, and goes to the dentist regularly.0

Same.
Just thinking about how I use to kiss that mouth... :sick:0 -
I'm a little psycho when it comes to cleaning my teeth so I would probably run fast fast away if I encountered a girl with brown teeth. Hell I stopped hanging out with a friend because he had black and rotting teeth.0
-
I agree that a little bit crooked is okay.....if a little, but the discolored is almost always accompanied by bad breath and that is a killer.
On a side note.......I have a friend who is drop dead gorgeous--until she smiles.......poor girl--we have tried to convince her to go to a dentist, but she won't go AND she smokes...her breath is horrendous and I have no idead how men kiss her.......0 -
I'm with the majority...it can be a deal breaker.0
-
Nothing worse than a messed up grill and stank breath!!! :sick:0
-
can be deal breaker- especially if it's indicative of "won't" care for himself vice "can't"0
-
Total deal breaker!!! URGH!!!! I can't kiss someone with horrid teeth, makes me feel sick!! I met a guy with BLACK bottom teeth once!! :sick:
Having said that, if I really like him I'd tell him he needs to get his teeth sorted!! Perhaps that will spur him into action?? Men are lazy!! (so are women, not being sexist....lol). If they are just brown (rather than decayed), perhaps he just needs to get them cleaned or bleached??
Like Moe, I have a good g/f who has awful teeth but refuses to go to the dentist. I've spoken to her about it. Tried to tell her that it's ruining her look, but her fear of dentists seems to be more important?? I dunno, I kinda feel sorry for her :flowerforyou: Hmmm! I dont think I would wretch if it was a guy I had some feeling for, now, thinking about it. But I would definitely tell him it bothers me and ask why he's let them go.........:bigsmile:0 -
Big difference between teeth not being straight and actually being just gross. If they look like all you do is drink coffee and smoke all day then no deal. I know mine aren't perfect but they're at least well taken care.0

A guy's smile is what draws me in. Crooked is fine, imperfections are often part of the charm, but bad teeth, and by that I mean discolored, missing front teeth, etc, that's a deal breaker.0 -
I personally think that it does make a diffference. I would not even be able to kiss him. I hate when you take care of yourself and the other person doesn't......0

I'm told I have nice teeth and smile alot. Even my dentist brings it up frequently. I never gave it much thought really. In the past I honestly believed when people would tell me that, it was just a "gentle" way that I ain't that attractive. I think now there's actually some merit to it, outside of dating.. As my dentist as pointed out to me, it's a good indicator of health. Bad dental hygiene can be a sign of other health related issues. It would bug me because I'd think the person isn't very health conscious.
As for me? Is it a deal breaker? I am not sure...I think it depends. If someone I was dating had crooked teeth? No problem. However if it was also yellow, icky, discolored, looked like they never brushed, etc etc...yah that would really put me off.0 -

That's a very valid point.0 -
This is a bit off subject. . but I dated a girl who seemed perfect. . then she fell asleep. . OMG it was like a subway train going through the bedroom! I have never heard of anyone snoring this loud. It was awful. . I did not sleep even one minute. . I tried holding her nose, but she didn't breath for 30 or 40 seconds and I kind of got scared, freaked out and stopped. .you should've heard the noise she made when I let go!
To this day she probably wonders what the deal is because I, for one, didn't have the courage to tell her (this was 15 years ago). .
The point is. .Some things you just can't get over. . and it doesn't make you superficial or shallow. . We like what we like and we dislike what stinks, looks horrible, or keeps us awake.

bad teeth would be a deal breaker for me too. i care more about a guys teeth, smile, and eyes than i do their height, weight, job.....etc.0
