Hi, I'm Ralph. And you are?

Do you ever wonder why celebrities look hotter than the rest of us?
It's 99% the teeth.
Even if they had nice, clean teeth before, by our standards, they get those swapped out with a new set of artificially straight, pearly whites.
Even my teeth, as straight and healthy as they are, even spending hundreds to have having my silver fillings replaced with white ones, are still not up to celebrity standards.
I don't really like how my mouth is shaped and how my top teeth don't show much when I talk - one of these days I'm getting veneers for that full-smile look.
Look up Judge Jeannine Spiro, Janelle Monae, Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff teeth. All fake, but beautiful sets of teeth.
So, your question: would I date someone with normal, non-celebrity teeth, but otherwise white enough and healthy? Absolutely.
Would I date someone with bad oral hygiene? No. Would I date someone with yellow or outrageously crooked teeth? Usually, no.
If someone has noticeably bad crooked teeth, then they would have had those since childhood, and any rational adult would have invested into getting their teeth fixed by then. If not, then they don't care about themselves, and I'd have nothing in common with them. Those are usually rednecks and stuff whom I wouldn't get along with anyway.
Cosmetic enhancements for one's teeth are important, and if someone doesn't care about their teeth, they're not going to amount to much in life elsewhere. It's actually a huge pet peeve of mine when people force their smile closed in all their pictures, obviously hiding their teeth.

No probably not!
I have nice teeth and want someone who takes cares of their hygiene!
Hello

Horsey. That can be fixed with filler in the upper lip

I have. I don’t think it’s that big a deal unless they have a gummy smile. You know what I mean.
Stop.

Susan.

My bottom teeth are weird because of an accident I had as a kid. I have a chipped incisor right next to a big canine tooth.
I don’t like smiling in pictures.

I've since learned to find out who my roommates are before moving into a room
Sounds like a plan.

My sister and I had braces as adults. It's worth it if you care about your smile

I had braces as a kid. They are no fun. As an adult I can understand her lack of interest in going through that.

I know her well
I know that she could afford cigarettes, so she can afford braces

You don't know all her reasons. Again, if she's from a poor family and you haven't walked in her shoes, I wouldn't judge her. Again, other qualities take priority for me.

That's different. I'm talking about people like that woman with snaggly teeth who smiles for pics with her mouth closed instead of fixing her teeth

I had a boyfriend who immigrated from Mexico when he was 16. He was working with what he had until he could do better. I see no reason to condemn such a person. I just look for different qualities in people.
Like a big dick!
No, just kidding, he was a sweetheart.

I know someone who's ashamed of her teeth but never bothered to get braces
You can make payments for braces, they're affordable
Also, jobs offer dental, no excuse

You can't judge a person by the dental insurance or lack of it their parents had. I just think the look can be sexy.

I don't go for that jack-o-lantern look

Lol. I thought of him. But I've been with guys with missing or crooked teeth. I like it because I don't like polished perfection. I like a real human being with flaws. The teeth are symbolic of that.

You were into my ex and his teeth. They looked like that at the time because he had his jaw wired shut from a biking accident.

Rotten is disgusting.
But I find crooked or missing teeth to be sexy.

Depends on the severity. I had a roommate who was a middle aged man in his 50s and he was delusional enough to ask me to marry him. He had missing teeth and the ones he retained were severely rotted. Disgusting. I've since learned to find out who my roommates are before moving into a room and limit myself to other young women only.
I've been into men with noticeably crooked teeth. It usually means they grew up poor, like me.
My parents did not take me to the dentist as needed so I had to pay for my braces as an adult. And now I can't even go to the orthodontist because of lockdowns.

You're cute

Thank you. I also have to wear a patch over my eye and so with my gimpy leg I look like a pirate. Halloween is my favorite day of the week as we can just be ourselves.
