Dougie_D Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I usually am the first to just flat out say I'm ugly... I'm working on not convincing myself. But here's the deal. When I smile, I can't actually show teeth without slightly opening my mouth. I'm starting to wonder if that can be creepy to girls? And what should I do to make it more "sexy" Link to comment
sara-pezzini Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I don't get it..I can't show my teeth without opening my mouth either....so maybe I am being very blonde here or your question is confusing Link to comment
notafraid Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well, judging by your first sentence I think you lack self-esteem. There is beauty in everyone. Don't be so hard on yourself. In regards to smiling, when someone smiles genuinely it usually changes the entire atmosphere around them. Do you ever notice that? And it has nothing to do with the "way" the person is smiling or how they look. I had issues with smiling when I was younger, I always felt that when I smiled or laughed, I looked like a freak. But over the years people have told me that I look most beautiful when I smile...so I have tried to focus more on these positive points rather than the negative. I think trying to make your smile sexier is what will creep people out. Just be yourself, smiling is contagious no matter what is looks like...... You can also practice smiling in front of the mirror just to get used to it...I know it sounds cheesy but it will condition you to just get more comfortable with your own smile! Link to comment
John John Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I think as long as your smile is genuine (the kind that shows in your eyes as well as your mouth), people will appreciate it. Whether your teeth are imperfect, smile is crooked, or whatever...just be natural and people will smile with you Link to comment
summerlovin Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I guess it could be a deal breaker to some people, but I feel that once you really love someone, their flaws don't matter to you anymore. I'm actually studying to go to dental school to be an orthodontist, so I really appreciate a nice smile. But my ex had super crooked teeth and would never smile with his teeth because he was embarrassed..but whenever I made him laugh and he smiled at me, it was like sunbeams were shooting at me. I fell in love with that goofy smile and wouldn't want to change a thing about it! So to answer your question, yes, it can be a turnoff to some women who just judge you by your appearance. But if a woman is genuinely interested in you and gives you a chance, that won't matter at all to her. Just remember that smiling is the universal language of kindness..it doesn't matter what your teeth look like, because as long as you have positive thoughts and are genuinely happy, your smile will look lovely.

mfan Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Can someone's smile actually be a TURN OFF? No. ........... Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I used to smile way too wide. I've learned to have a more flattering smile that now comes more naturally to me. I blame the years of braces. So yes, a smile can be unattractive/made to be more attractive. Link to comment
and so it goes Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Unless you're Austin Powers then your smile is probably good. Link to comment

When I smile, I can't actually show teeth without slightly opening my mouth. I'm starting to wonder if that can be creepy to girls? And what should I do to make it more "sexy" I find it awkward to try and show my teeth when I smile. It is not natural for me, so I just don't do it. In portraits/photos that I have tried it looks forced and unnatural, which it is. Just smile naturally. Link to comment
tiredofvampires Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yes, to me, if: 1. teeth are unhealthy (mildly crooked isn't a problem, I mean if it looks like there is decay or gum disease) 2. teeth are bleached to neon snow white -- the bleaching trend has gotten so out of hand 3. you're laughing or smiling at something unintelligently funny, inane, sophomoric Link to comment

Works for him. Link to comment

jonny15 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 It can be. I can smile without showing my teeth. But I do that to not show my teeth, which are pretty bad looking. Link to comment
Thorshammer Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I have big lips, they dont show teeth when i smile, neither when i talk. I always do a half-smile, i dont see anything wrong with that. Link to comment
