I would rather date a man who is missing some teeth than a man who smokes and drinks all the time,or even often.


I wouldnt date any of the above. Oral Hygiene is pretty important to me. Especially at this point in life, at 40 years old, I dont find any excuse for peers to not have taken care of their teeth or their dental issues.


I understand what you are saying.But men my age could have a number of reasons to be missing teeth.I feel that as long as their breath if fresh and they take care of what they have...like other posts have stated,they can buy teeth at the dentist.As long as they are otherwise healthy,great.



Of course, let them get teeth FIRST and then we might talk. Still probably wouldnt be dating material for me though.

Well,we all have our preferences,for sure.I am more interested in the man's points of view,his ability to care and whether we are compatible,than the more shallow aspects of the possible relationship.

I agree, Im not normally 'shallow' but for whatever reasons there are some physical attributes that actually make my skin crawl(like the sound of nails on a chalkboard), amongst them are toothlessness, piercings and excessive tattoos.

I think, considering all the other physical attributes that there are in this world ,having a list of three on my turn off list is not so bad.

I'm not so worried about a man having dentures, if he generally takes care of himself and his overall personal hygiene is good. But when the teeth are irreparably nasty and it is obviously from lack of hygiene, (obvious being that he doesn't shower often enough and also stinks of stale BO, and is really scruffy), then I probably won't be going out with him. I've been in that scenario before, and even if you try to help, nothing changes.

If I was looking for someone in particular and they had 90%
of what I would want, I think I could overlook the rest.
No one is perfect.

But I really don't have standards. I just want someone that
makes me smile,makes me feel good about me, and that I can communicate with. Oh and laughter is a big part as well.

The rest of it doesn't matter to me.

Ok they do have to shower and be a somewhat clean person. laugh

I try to be non judgemental of other's past mistakes.I have triple pierced ears and several tattoos from my younger days.At that time in my life,I was into that kind of thing.If you didn't see them,you would never know now.
I understand where you are coming from,as I also don't care for toothlessness.But I've seen things that turn me off far worse!

piercings and tattoos are a complete turn off! And yes, I am aware that a lot of you will condemn me for it (having tattoos yourself). But I consider it sheer mutilation.

I don't condemn anyone for their past.We are not perfect.And as I said before,I am nobody's judge.I don't try to do God's job.

hmm, I didn't mean to be such an ***. Was a slip of the pen (keyboard). Didn't came out the way it should be. Or better: I should have said nothing at all. I am sorry...

A bit harsh, with a family that is half Jehovah Witness, I do understand the mutilation part of your statement though. As I get older, I realize people do make mistakes though. I remember being in my twenties at the club and someone would ask me why I didnt wear earrings, I would make the statement that I didnt believe in mutilating the body so I didnt put holes in it or paint upon it,,,BUT

people do things in their youth that should not be forever held against them. If holes are not obvious(huge in circumference or with things sticking out in various parts like a pin cushion), the piercings may become less of an issue for me but the artwork is just ,,,,,weird(to me) and usually the more of it on a person the more distant their lifestyle is from mine. It is more a compatibility issue for me.
