I wouldnt date someone with 'bad teeth', unless I had already met them prior to seeing their teeth and there was an effort being made for them to correct their teeth

there are some people who CANT help being overweight, if we get technical, because it starts in their youth when their PARENTS supplied their food and set the example,,,holding them accountable for something they had no power to control is no less shallow than holding someones teeth against them because 'they had no control of it'


I gather , in most cases, people CAN choose to take care of their bodies and their teeth and both preferences are equally understandable to me

I would proudly answer YES!!! I am dating one. He is a man w/ bad brown teeth from too much
Coca cola, and bad dental structure also. But no bad breath. And 1 thing for sure, I will nvr
Give him up just because of his bad teeth if it means I gotta lose his sweet gentle n sincere love that's
Been coloured my days for almost 3 years now ;)

I already have

they were not foul but he had a few cavities otherwise his oral health was Great -he was a very clean person - I doubt he'd go to the dentist even were it free

how he is

what if they went and got those falsies, the things that cover up the teeth to make them look good?

When your soulmate is a matter of preference then you ought to have set standards.Yes it is admitted that other people were born out of crappy genetics but other people's téeth are bad as a result of póor personal hygene,I bet noone would want that for we all like kissing

not always. I have friends that have lost teeth due to auto accidents, hockey accidents, etc. And one who just fears the dentist so much its actually a phobia. And a few of these people just can;t afford what it costs to get them fixed.

i already have dated soemone with bad teeth, it was form his up bringing, But he was very clean and brushed his teeth religiously to keep form them from getting any worse, so my answer would be depends on the persona and situation

no, absolutely not

Well cases of accidents are exclusive and exceptional noone volunteers equally lack of funds.Póor oral health,bad breath,tinted teeth ah ah!!!!

This...is the shallowest thread on this site...REMOVE IT

it can't be removed but u can use it to examine the values of people and choose ur friends thusly

Oh I have trust me, and I've crossed a bunch off lol

cheer up - it is only the interent

I think that can still fall along the lines of superficial. I think what people forget about someone who is overweight is that...

They may or may NOT eat any more than the average person does, but their genetics have them gaining weight more easily. Sometimes, too, it could be because of a condition they have or medication they take. Or maybe , if it's a woman, she's had a baby and she's working on losing the baby fat. For some of us, it might take longer than others, due to their metabolism. Just as you might see a really thin person, that doesn't mean they are in good health or take care of themselves. They might have a disease or even an eating disorder, or maybe, they're genetically predisposed to be thin. Lucky them that it's socially acceptable to be thin. That doesn't mean they exercise and take care of their bodies. They might even eat way more than the overweight person sitting at the next table at a restaurant who's trying to survive on a small salad does.

As to the original question, I think it depends on how one defines "bad teeth". Do you just mean crooked teeth? Yes, easily fixable and yes, sometimes people don't have dental insurance and can't afford what many would consider to be cosmetic surgery. But if it's because they smoke or eat too many sugary foods, or never brush or floss, then, I would say no, because it goes beyond bad teeth into unhealthy habits, some of which might prove fatal.

And yes, while an overweight person might be overweight because he or she eats cream pies or something, if they die of a heart attack, well, it would be sad, and of course, ultimately, it would be their own fault, but it isn't as if they would be shoving a cream pie in your face. But if it's a person with bad teeth, because they're say, a smoker, smoking can make other people around them ill. Or maybe they just don't brush and floss and they've got gingivitis, well, that can be passed on to their mate through kissing.

So, BOTH of your arguments can be considered superficial, and not all overweight people are fat, lazy idiots that sit on their ***** all day eating bon bons.

I just thought it over again, it is still NO.

No!!! there is a man and woman on here arguing over teeth! I f your not sick and your teeth are bad to me that's a no no!

The only thing I'm shallow about a man is his personality and the way he lives his life. I hate bums, sorry. Or ones that never take a shower or shave. And ones that get violent or stumble everywhere when they drink. IF THIS IS YOU,,,PLEASE MOVE ON!!

But I pretty much prefer ones with teeth, but they don't have to be perfect teeth. Just brush it everyday and takes pretty good care of it.
