I've always had a hard time smiling at women and feel that's why they never look at me too long only, only blank glances?

I've always had a hard time smiling in general, I've always hears I should do it more often and not look serious all the time but majority all you'll really get out of me is a light smirk. The biggest flaw for me is that I smoke cigarettes (red flag for most women, I know) and over the years my teeth have turned yellow, and it's to the point where I hate having a convo with anybody cos I feel like that's what they're staring at.. if I had my old teeth back I feel like that would make a giant difference. I've definitely been considered attractive by some women but not necessarily the ones I've always had my eyes on.. I would say I'm a really strong 7/10 on my best day some women may say higher but for me that is my biggest reason I never try to approach women with a smile or try talking to them..

I know majority of women are turned off by yellow teeth but Im really funny, genuine, and easy to talk too would that be a deal breaker for most women?

Damn dude, I feel your struggle. Teeth stuff can really mess with your confidence. But here's what I think - yeah the teeth are an issue, but honestly I don't think it would be a total dealbreaker for most girls if other things are good. Confidence is way more important. Here's what I would do - first, start working on quitting the cigs if you can, for your health and to stop the teeth from getting worse. In the meantime though, don't let it stop you from talking to girls! Just be yourself - you said you're funny and easy to talk to, so let that shine through. Smile with your mouth closed if you're self-conscious, but try to relax your face too so you don't seem so serious. Compliment girls genuinely and make eye contact when you talk. As long as you carry yourself like you've got nothing to worry about, most girls won't even notice your teeth that much. And if they bring it up? Just own it - "Yeah I'm trying to quit smoking, it's not great for my teeth". Having a sense of humor about it will really help. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there man - confidence is way more important than perfect teeth. I'm sure you'll find someone who appreciates you for who you are inside.

I mean your teeth won't get you girls it's the other traits you explained will get it.

So don't worry about it have clean teeth and also good breath now that's important.

Confidence matters you are not handicap person when they can get people who like and love their company you to can I think you are thinking too much of it.

Don't worry you do your thing and they will do theirs.

Also aren't their teeth whitening products? If you are that bummed about it.

Ps I too have the golden smile 😁 and I don't even smoke.
