I am insecure about my teeth so I can't date any guys?

[Anonymous]

I have mostly straight teeth except for one tooth that sticks out... it looks horrible and I am 21 and my parents could never afford braces.

Aside from that I am pretty attractive, tall curvy, have pretty eyes but this one this just throws me off and makes me so insecure. I get hit on a lot but I can't move past this physical flaw.

Anyone have advice?

You sound like me and how I feel about my acne. Guess what: my acne is gross and yet I'm still dating this amazing, sexy, perfect guy, and have been for nearly 10 months now. I have no idea how, but he acts as though the acne weren't even there. It boggles my mind, but I guess if someone is meant for you they don't care about flaws that even are very obvious.

Thanks for this! I have had really gorgeous guys interested in me before but I just never felt good enough... I guess I need to stop thinking all men are shallow and start to be more confident and embrace my flaws.

Also--I have a gap between my two front teeth. Not too huge, but enough to be noticeable. Both guys I've dated have said they liked it/found it cute. Chances are, some guys will probably find that little imperfection endearing rather than repulsive. At least your "flaw" can be found cute. There's nothing cute or endearing about big red blotches all over one's face :P

Don't worry about your acne it will most likely clear up over the years and you already have the gorgeous guy so stay confident girl :) I will keep you as my inspiration!

Stop closing yourself off to guys over this, it's just one tooth that you CAN fix when you have your own money in the future... get a job, save a few bucks and fix it. Meanwhile, guys WILL overlook that.

Thank you!

You don't have to be perfect to attract guys. Most people have many imperfections. Just focus on your good qualities and be happy and grateful for that. Nobody has to be perfect.

You're obessing over one small thing, just the way some guys obsess over their height, weight, dick size, etc...

You are not your teeth.

No guy has ever gone "Wow she's amazing! Shame about that snaggletooth, that's a deal breaker"

The fact that you get hit on a lot, should show you - this is all in your mind.

If we look hard enough, all of us can find something (s) wrong with ourselves. The fact that guys hit on you means that they're not focusing on some minor little thing like a tooth.

[Asker]

But most guys want perfectly straight teeth it just looks so nice

[TadCurious]

Sometimes it's the little "imperfections" a girl has that adds to her attractiveness. We're human beings. We don't come stamped out of some kind of industrial machine press.

[Asker]

I'll try to keep that in mind thanks. Most people who are honest with me tells me they can't even notice and that it's not really a big deal but I seem to just zoom in on it I guess. I have a lot of other good qualities and I am really nice and active and stuff but this has kept me from dating anyone literally all my life even though lots of guys have asked me out.

@asker Have you heard that song by John Legend "All of Me"? It's a beautiful love song. I assume he wrote it for his wife or girlfriend. Anyway, there's a line in the song "I love your perfect imperfections." If you were to take a brand new microscope slide, just out of the box, and put it under an electron microscope, it would look dirty. Why? Because under 50,000 X power EVERYTHING looks dirty! If we put ourselves under that level of scrutiny we'll just see something that no one else sees, and we'll think it's bad. But it's just part of being human.

Women don't need to be perfect, for men to love them. I really can't understand how such a minor flaw would cause you so much of a problem. Most people don't have perfect teeth. I get compliments about my teeth all the time, and they aren't close to perfect.

Yea I have bad teeth so I can related. But funny thing is I don't care if the one I'm attracted to has bad teeth or not, only me. But the good thing for you is guys more anyway won't care and your teeth isn't really bad just misaligned. That's fixable.

[bastuss]

Just be yourself, everyone has their own flaw , stay confident about yourself , and the attractiveness of yours will be glowing..

[Keyspirits]

Nobody is perfect. I'm sure it's not even that bad.
