Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Life is a battle for supremacy. Only the strong may survive. I don't need to walk over people to survive. I can get by without lowering myself to their level. That's what truly makes a person strong.
Ouroboros Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I don't need to walk over people to survive. I can get by without lowering myself to their level. That's what truly makes a person strong. Yes, maybe in candyland or on the good ship lollipop.
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Don't mind them. Some people are just miserable. I'm ashamed to say that when I'm not feeling great about myself, I notice more flaws in others' appearances. If they're people I know fairly well, I would notice flaws in their personality. Although I would never voice these perceived flaws out loud, thinking it helps me feel better when I am particularly insecure. Some people get a rush from being mean. Some of them have had a bad day and need to take it out on someone else. I know everyone has insecure moments. If I notice myself looking or seeing flaws I stop right there. I then decide to look for something positive. Instead for seeing faults in others, I'll look at myself and find some positives. I have been a scapegoat for numerous people. I decided that I wouldn't go down to their level, so when I catch myself in a bad thought I do my best to nip it right there. I've been guilty of putting a bit of anger on people ( as everyone ) but I do my best not to tear someone else down. I used to be picked on (I had bad skin, and was bigger) I now have more compassion. Thanks for posting it gave me some good insight and was a lot of help. I just hope things change in the future.
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 How tall are you? If you're asking me I'm 5'3 very tiny
Ouroboros Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Looking for a date ? Let me get my tricycle out and if I start pedaling now I'll hit Montreal by the time you menopause Rina or at the very latest when your great grandchildren are of marriageable age.
vsmini Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I think guys really like a nice smile on a girl but in no way would I think it would be a deal breaker if teeth weren't that great.
Intergalactic Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 teeth are important to me since i wore braces for 6 years.. i can be kind of picky. in saying that, i don't care about a bit of crookedness, as long as it's not a mountain range in there and they're clean! don't worry rinnix, i saw your pictures and your teeth aren't even bad! i wish i'd had teeth like that naturally. i had too many teeth to fit in my mouth (i have a very small mouth ) and even after 6 years and 5 teeth pulled (not including wisdoms!), the tooth on the right side next to my two front teeth has moved backwards and doesn't sit perfectly in line with the rest. i even wore a retainer for another year to try and fix it but when i stopped it just moved back... guess it's just the way i'm meant to be! plus you're heaps hot, so that helps
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 @Ouroboros I'll be waiting for you! Peddle quickly! @Intergalactic Thanks you're quite the beauty yourself! @Everyone thanks for the replies!
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Well im flattered that you think so! Thing is, people would rule me out due to a small amount of crookedness. I guess I wanted to see how many people would rule someone like me out?
thehead Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Rinnix, no offense but for someone who professes to care so little about looks, you sure post a lot about them. Both yours and others.
ConfusedGuy28 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I actually have a tooth like the girl in the pic. (Same spot, just opposite side) It makes me incredibly self conscious sometimes, and I don't show my teeth in pictures. I had braces when I was 15 for 2 years. Never wore my retainer (just got a gf, we were making out a lot, etc lol). Anyways, talked to my new dentist about it recently and he said I should get braces again, and that they can put a permanent retainer behind that tooth so it doesn't move. Said that's too much movement and it's probably just genetics and where my mouth wants my tooth. Just thought I'd throw that part in. If you ever get braces, ask them about the permanent retainer for that tooth
Ouroboros Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 @Ouroboros I'll be waiting for you! Peddle quickly! I encountered a hill. It might take longer than planned. Wait for me my love.
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Rinnix, no offense but for someone who professes to care so little about looks, you sure post a lot about them. Both yours and others. No offense taken. I see that. Looking back at posts:laugh: Heres how it is, I care about looks when it comes to myself. I am very self critical. However, when it comes to the way others look, I don't view flaws as I do on myself. I appreciate the beauty of others. I suppose I'm vain (but only) with my own appearance.
Nexus One Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) I know that we are getting much more vain today, but it made me wonder, if I'm single, will having crooked teeth really stop my chances in getting a date? No it will not stop your chances. I say this with knowledge of your physical appearance from photo's. A few guys might be turned off due to the teeth thing, however you'd probably wouldn't want to date those guys. but now I don't know if theres people who would look past funny/imperfect teeth? There are people like that. But in the picture you posted the "imperfection" looks rather cute. If I were to meet someone off a dating site, would they be thrown off by my less than perfect teeth? (Its not like my photos can show them perfectly.) Some guys would. I'm not going to sugarcoat that, but like I said, you shouldn't want to date certain type of guys. You will not be happy with them. Would you date someone who didn't have a great straight smile? Yes. In fact some of the most beautiful women in the world have imperfections in their teeth, but those imperfections in their teeth even enhance their appearance, making it part of their "trademark". It makes them more unique. But if you're really insecure, then you could take a look at Invisalign. Those are (nearly) invisible braces, however they cost $7500 at the dentists in my area, but perhaps you can find a cheaper dentist. For whitening, lasering the teeth is the safest and least destructive option and of all the laser types green lasers are the safest and least destructive. That can cost roughly $500 per treatment. However the treatment often needs to repeated every so many years. Don't get me wrong though. Aligning and safely whitening teeth are things I still find somewhat acceptable to advise a woman. But I wouldn't want to advise women to take breast implants. I've only heard bad stories about those. A female colleague of my mother died during a breast implant operation a few weeks ago. Women also go further and further. There's now a technique to insert the implants without creating scars. The surgeons then insert the implants through the bellybutton. The risk of dieing during that operation is very high, yet many women still choose to undergo it. My personal opinion, I don't even like large breasts, I like small and natural as those often more fitting with the body type of a girl/woman. It gives a woman a more "gazelle" type of appearance, which I find elegant and attractive. In my opinion you're approaching this from the wrong angle Rinnix. You shouldn't try to attract men that wouldn't develop a crush on you had you not perfect teeth, you should try to encounter and notice men that would develop a crush on you either way. A personal rule of mine is that I shouldn't just be crushing on a woman's appearance, I should also be crushing on her personality and perhaps even her intelligence. The instances where I crush on the personality too are the most intense crushes I've ever had. They would cause me to stay with a woman for life and be happy regardless of the fact if her beauty fades or not. So don't just find a guy that likes you for your appearance, also find a guy that crushes on you for your personality, because that's what will count in a longterm relationship.

Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 @ Nexus I see what you're saying. I think it's more of a issue for myself, I know there will be some with interest in me. I'm very self critial, as throughout my HS years I looked like a troll and was everyones target. I'm just getting used to my appearance now. Ideally id like to find someone who finds me beautiful on the inside out. I suppose the best way to come to this would be to embrace my flaws and love myself first. It's true that those who would rule me out wouldn't be my type to begin with.
Futuregirl Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I haven't read all of the posts, but I just wanted to write a quick note. Yea for me, a person's teeth are all part of what make a person attractive. This is also the opinion of many people. Teeth are part of what make a person look the way they do and often give them character. Your teeth are adorable lol You're just lovely!!! So cute and pretty and I bet guys who crush on you think about your cute smile. What is "perfect" ?? Who gets to set the standard? I have a space between my two front teeth :oE and one of the teeth to the left side turns sideways. It sounds ugly right? I always felt really self conscious about it. Then a girl I knew from the bahamas said one day that I'm lucky because I've got "the space". Apparently in some places it's considered beautiful. I think it allowed me to think that I don't have to look like I've had braces to have nice teeth. The funny thing is that one of the things I get the most compliments on now is my smile AND my teeth! Don't listen to that person. It was out of line for them to say such a thing (like it would be out of line to say to someone "You need implants" lol) and their preference doesn't matter. Not even a supermodel will be considered beautiful by everyone, but that doesn't make her any less beautiful than she is. hehe you're lovely
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 @Confusedguy I hear you, the tooth that pops up can get rather annoying.* I'm going to see if there is other options as its just the one tooth I'm not fond of. Something tells me it would look cute on a guy though. @Ouro Don't take too long, I get impatient!
Nexus One Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Almost forgot. I'll give you an example of a type of guy you shouldn't want to date. I know of a woman that got herself breast implants. However those breast implants are causing her physical pain and due to that pain she's hardly getting any sleep. So she wants an operation to get the implants removed in order to relieve her from the pain. Although her boyfriend, the @sshole that he is, threatened to leave her if she would remove the implants, because that f*cker can't make due with smaller breasts. So he would rather have his girlfriend suffer through physical pain for the rest of her life for his sexual pleasure. I can't stand such guys. Just thinking about them makes my stomach cringe. I feel ashamed for my gender that such men exist. They have no honor. Don't date guys like that or if you ever get a boyfriend like that, dump him. Also, what makes you wonder about this all? You mention you don't know what's going to happen with your current relationship. Is anything up? Edited June 14, 2011 by Nexus One
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 @ Futuregirl It's nice to see that I'm not alone. I get complimented on my smile lots too, but then I'll get a negative and it gets me down. I'm sure that you must have a stunning smile too. @ Nexus Id never alter my body, I'm happy with it. Id never let someone convince me to get implants. The teeth/ tooth was always something I wanted on my own. As for the boyfriend, he's moving provinces away to be with his family. His family has a strong dislike of me (yet never gave me a chance to meet them.) His family has tried to get in the way numerous times. I feel that the cycle may repeat.
coffeeaddict Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I don't think someone who likes you and is attracted to you is going to say, "I just met this pretty girl and she's really nice and we get along just great, but her teeth aren't perfect so that's a deal breaker." Maybe if the guy in question is a dentist or something, I don't know.
TheLawmaker Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 As long as they're clean and kept in good shape, I'd say they're not that important. I don't have straight teeth, either, and don't expect a girl I'm dating to have straight teeth.
J200 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Sorry but I don't like the teeth of the girl you posted. I like teeth that are perfectly white and straight. I don't care for teeth with character which means crooked. I am a female btw. I like guys with perfect straight teeth. Why don't u get braces? They aren't that expensive. Where I'm at they are around 5k and you can make payments. Four or five grand is nowhere near a small fortune and its worth it. Straight white teeth are important in my opinion. That girls teeth look like a snaggletooth; pretty bad imho.
