Dirty teeth ?

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

A lady I messaged on site has replied that, judging by my profile pic, and the full private face-pic from which the profile pic is cropped, .. my teeth look dirty. I don't know if it was just a wilful put-down, or a genuine concern.

A great start on her part! But the thing is, she's dented my confidence.

Sure, my teeth are not perfect, - I'm in my 60s; - but even my dentist compliments me on how well I clean them. I always take trouble to clean them well, and also keep my breath fresh.

Maybe it's the particular face shot that's giving a wrong impression ?.

Please look at my profile and tell me honestly if you think my teeth look dirty in the pic. (Sincere replies only, please.)

Thanks ! ..

Yes, and you and others were helpful; thanks.

But I had a different (non-facial) profile pic then; - changed it on your advice.

So, do my teeth look dirty ?

Only because this lady made the appearance of my teeth in the pic an issue. If it puts her off, maybe it puts others off too.

Or do you think she's up a gum tree ? (No pun intended!)

have seen worse teeth but everybody has a different idea of what they think is clean. in my opinion you worry too much. have been told am too old, too skinny, too fat and so on but for every negative there is a positive hiding round the corner

I think that some people will find any small thing to have a pick at if its a way of saying no...just have to put it down to experience and move on...confidence comes from inside not your shape, looks or the colour of your teeth! Different strokes for different folks!

we got them in America and what a difference they made

then just keep on top of them

you can get them on ebay! we used the two hour ones.

got to say personally for me teeth are the first thing will out me off any man no matter how gorjus fit and othewise he may be ive got a total obsession with teeth its really a big big thing for me, ive spent a fortune on making sure my teeth stays white for me it was because my dentist caused alot of damage to my teeth and i was at a point where i was very self conscious and in combatting my issues my teeth became my obsession i can spot changes in poples teeth colouring straight away but if teeth are straight well maintained and no visible signs of neglect slight yellowing isnt a total turn off yours for your age dont look too shabby tbh you dont look like someone who has hygeine issues, if you cant look after your smile then what else arent you looking after is the general concern if people have popor dental hygeine xx

I think I may know what's wrong here, - having checked the photo in my camera:

If you over-enlarge the pic, you get a granulation ('pixellation') effect, whereby the digital system fills in the gaps between the 'grains' with false colours (perversely greens and browns!). So an over-enlarged view of the pic suggests I've got green and brown marks on my teeth, but it's only a photographic illusion.

Well, that's what I think's going on.

But I will try and get a better photo up.

Tom.

I think it might have just been that you weren't her type and the only 'polite' way she could think of saying it was about your teeth, not the nicest thing to say though

We have all been knocked back in life, take it in your stride

The 'Do my teeth look dirty?' question related to an earlier profile pic, no longer shown here, - not my present one.

Yeah, this site is awash with smart-alecs, of both sexes. Let them be; .. their time will come. But thanks for coming to my defence. Tom.

As the profile pic I had at the start of this discussion has now been replaced (with a less 'toothy' one), I think further comments are likely to be less relevant.

Thank you for all sincere responses. I value your help.

Tom.
