Media has put forth this idea of what perfection looks like. I’ve never drank that kool-aid. Sure I admit there are people who very attractive and most guys would want those “perfect” women. I’ve always found that some imperfections make some women that much more attractive.

There was this one girl I really liked that had a chipped tooth. She was sexy but that chipped front tooth made her sexier to me. When we were together I would always tell her how much I loved it. When we kissed I would often make a point of licking that chipped tooth. She thought I was silly but I truly loved it.

Another girlfriend had a beautiful gap tooth smile. Her smile would light up a room. When I first met her she wouldn’t smile without covering her mouth. I hated that. Family members and school mates made fun of her gap and as you can imagine she was very self conscious about her teeth. In pictures she would give a closed mouth smile. When we first got together whenever I made her laugh she would instinctively cover her mouth. I would always gently grab her hand; interlace our fingers and kiss her. To me her gap made her look naughty, mischievous and that was sexy to me. She eventually stopped covering up her mouth and became more secure with herself. Sometimes she would bring up the topic of fixing her gap but I would tell her how much I loved her teeth the way they were. Years later I saw pictures of them and I’m sad to say they both “fixed” their teeth.

The most important thing is how you feel about yourself. Are perfect teeth something you feel you really need? If you fix your gap/gaps will you be happy or will this lead to you making more cosmetic changes? If you’re not happy with yourself how can anyone else be happy with who you are?
