Stay_Gold Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Alright ladies... Which physical attribute would you prefer in a man when out actively seeking and wanting to date: 1. Nice Teeth/smile...but a little overweight/love handle. OR... 2. Crooked Teeth/bad smile...but is fit/toned. Lets also pretend and say that both of these men were the same height, ethnicity and age. I know that personality and character are also important and is a major factor for most women when it comes to attraction. BUT...lets just focus on the physical for this post. YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE! Not something inbetween or call out another physical attribute into the mix. Reason why I am setting up this little poll is because I am having a hard time attracting women and am in the process of wanting to change a physical attribute. Its either I: 1. Fix my teeth so I don't have a crooked/bad smile. I have some pretty bad crooked teeth. Its really expensive for dental work and I really don't have the money...BUT...if it means getting more attraction/women...I would definitely need to make it a priority ASAP. or... 2. Work on getting more fit/toned. I am not overweight by any means if you were to see me in real life. I am "moderately" fit. I try and exercise at least 4-5 times a week. I have a "little" lovehandle...I would say I would need to lose 10-15lbs to be at my optimal fitness. I see a lot of my friends who attract girls easily and our physical differences is the only factor I can assume is limiting me because most of my friends and I have similar personalities and interests. But most of them do have better teeth and smiles than I do. Thanks for the help ladies. Link to post Share on other sites
TAV Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Kissing is very important to me, so the smile I think. Link to post Share on other sites
darkmoon Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) for me, it is the whole person, their personality, trustworthiness kindness... am not saying looks do not count, you have to try to look nice as possible but who you are gets noticed too Edited February 24, 2014 by darkmoon Link to post Share on other sites
regine_phalange Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I've seen smiles with a bit crooked teeth that are very cute, and I've seen smiles with very straight teeth that did nothing to me. It depends on the person, if they take care of their hygiene of course. A beautiful smile does not depend merely on the straightness of the teeth, it's in the eyes. But as someone who used to have very crooked teeth, I say; do straighten them. You will feel amazing, handsome, and your teeth will be healthier because they will be easier to clean. At least that was my experience -- I will never forget the moment I took them off after 8 years. Some love handles on the other hand are no big deal at all. Link to post Share on other sites
pteromom Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I would go with the less toned/nice teeth. But I don't understand why you can't do both... there doesn't have to be any cost associated with getting fit. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
hasaquestion Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The best thing you can do for your smile? Get in front of the mirror and practice smiling with your eyes. Something which I don't see written, but seems very true, is that when your smile comes from your eyes, it looks more genuine. When your eyes "smile" your whole face lights up its a great effect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Emilia Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 :eek:Why is everybody so preoccupied with a tooth as opposed to overall fitness????? I don't care about crooked teeth as long as they aren't yellow or missing. Do care about a fit body though! Link to post Share on other sites
pteromom Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 :eek:Why is everybody so preoccupied with a tooth as opposed to overall fitness????? Good teeth are important to me. Love handles and a bit of flab on a belly don't bother me at all. Everyone is different as to what they like. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MissBee Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I prefer "good teeth", love handles are easier to fix than getting new teeth and I am gonna spend a lot more time looking at a man, looking at his mouth while we talk, looking at his smile and kissing (I like kissing) than I am gonna be paying attention to his love handles. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
MissBee Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) :eek:Why is everybody so preoccupied with a tooth as opposed to overall fitness????? It's not "a tooth", i.e. a single tooth, but a whole mouth full lol. I care about a smile more than I do overall fitness, in the sense that, we can all change our fitness level. A smile is my introduction to you and what I will have to look at daily, I don't just walk around looking at men's waists or bodies. I can see it but certainly in interacting the face and mouth are most prominent. Love handles aren't forever (neither is fitness for that matter), these are things increased (or decreased) exercise can change in a matter of even months for example. If you have jacked up teeth and a "bad smile" as the OP explained, unless you have tons of money for corrective dental procedures, you're stuck with that. And I realistically spend more time interacting with a man's face, listening to him, talking to him, kissing him, things that are very face forward than I do looking at his fit body....period. Even while having sex, a fit body is nice, don't get me wrong, I won't turn it down, but I don't have sex looking at the fit body...I do look at it but I mostly look at his face and his expressions and so on so in the end a fit body is nice to look at but a jacked up mouth makes me want to gag and is painful for me to look at. Further jacked up teeth are also a sign of bad health and may point to some serious health (or drug abuse) issues. Love handles have never made me gag personally, but seeing discolored, jagged teeth have and it's very difficult for me to talk to people whose mouths look like a train wreck much less have them kiss me or go down on me....ewwwww!!! In any case in reality I would have to see an example of this bad teeth vs. love handle scenario as it is difficult to actually choose in abstract when taken out of any further context, as I am imagining a very gross set of teeth in the scenario and maybe not just a simple crooked smile.

iris219 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 As long as you have good dental hygiene, I don't mind crooked teeth at all. In fact, I find teeth that aren't perfect appealing. Overweight would be a dealbreaker for me though. Link to post Share on other sites
Under The Radar Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm a guy, and straight, but if I ever went to prison ...... I'd prefer that my cellmate have a beautiful smile . 3 Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The answer will vary from woman to woman. It's like asking which is our favorite ice cream. Some will pick vanilla, others chocolate & others are lactose intolerant. That said, I would want nice teeth over toned body. We could always work out together later but I can't fix your teeth.

Author Stay_Gold Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've seen smiles with a bit crooked teeth that are very cute, and I've seen smiles with very straight teeth that did nothing to me.

At least that was my experience -- I will never forget the moment I took them off after 8 years. Some love handles on the other hand are no big deal at all. I TOTALLY agree with you here. I know some people with perfectly straight nice teeth and their smiles could NEVER LIGHT or LIVENED the room. There was this one coworker of mines that had crooked teeth almost as bad as mine!! But...I was so ATTRACTED to her. I thought she was HOT and her smile was so CUTE. Her smile can light up any room even though her teeth were pretty crooked. Everytime I went to work...I was always hoping to see it. I do believe the main reason why I felt so attracted to her was the fact that we both had the same physical flaw and therefore I felt like I could relate to her. I do experience and notice the smiling with your "eyes" thing. For example the girl I just mentioned above...I felt like her true beauty and character actually came from her eyes and not her smile. You know what they say: The eyes are the windows to the/your soul. I should of also stated that I don't "neccessarily" have a "bad time" attracting girls...because most of the time...most places I go...I do pull girls but thats because of my personality and character "MOSTLY". On the other hand...I also feel like I too...smile with my "eyes". I think smiling with my eyes changes some girls perception of me and therefore they can see past my crooked teeth flaw and why my dating life isn't as bad as I think it could be. BUT...I will say that I will go get braces ASAP and fix my teeth because I know its that important to me to have a great smile. Thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
