AIBU to judge people on their teeth?

Met a guy on Saturday night who just called me. I refused a date because he has a couple of missing teeth. Okay so maybe I'm shallow but it matters to me.

Why do people kid themselvesi that if teeth are gone at the back it doesn't notice? It does and it makes me cringe. So do rotting, or neglected teeth.

If you want to date, sort it out. Take out a loan if you have to!

Good for you Rose.
Wasn't there an episode of South Park where Cartman was kidnapped by aliens and anally probed?

*Everyone can get false teeth... I don't have any money... Lucky enough to have a sister who does

Hmm

That makes no sense Grin

Thanks Shotgun Grin

Vaginaaa · 25/01/2016 20:03

Bold fail but you get the point Wink

minipie · 25/01/2016 20:03

Grin at the way this thread has gone. Icy fingers and boiling sperm, definitely more of a turn off than bad teeth!

OP, YANBU to find bad teeth unattractive, everyone has things they like and don't like in a partner. YABU to judge people for having bad teeth, it's not always fixable and it's often not their fault.

My private partial denture was about £350 and i think i got some discount with my dental plan, so its not cheap, not everyone can easily get a NHS dentist, and it does't sound much cheaper on the NHS anyway.

Why doesn't it make sense. Im borrowing the money and working my arse off to pay it back.

HoneyDragon · 25/01/2016 20:05

I really fancy Rylan

Vaginaaa · 25/01/2016 20:06

It makes no sense because not everyone has a rich sister they can temporarily leech £12000 from. So not everybody can afford false teeth. You can't without your sister.

rosewithoutthorns · 25/01/2016 20:06

I said that I would only do it for a childs funeral MrsD so get it right.

Anyone else asking for money for a funeral, no, its a bloody cheek.

rosewithoutthorns · 25/01/2016 20:07

Plates on the NHS are not extortionate. Probably £300.

Leech? blimey, some nasties here huh!

rosewithoutthorns · 25/01/2016 20:08

Jealousy is a bad trait Grin

Vaginaaa · 25/01/2016 20:08

Not everyone has £300. Or a sister to leech said £300 from.

WaitrosePigeon · 25/01/2016 20:08

I quite fancy Rylan too. Blush

And Simon Cowell.

Sorry, I know I can never take that back now..

Vaginaaa · 25/01/2016 20:09

Yes, I'm jealous you are spending £12000 of your sisters money on teeth. Oh it burns it burns.

All the talk of writers has reminded me ...

Usual

You're old (in mnet years not human years before you get in a snit Wink ) was that writing group that used to come here and post shit and get the other members to join in and keep the threads going on Facebook or was it a blog?

LilacSpunkMonkey · 25/01/2016 20:11

Why would I feel guilty? Confused

I'm not the one upsetting people about funerals for children, am I?

I don't think I'm the nasty one on this thread...

LilacSpunkMonkey · 25/01/2016 20:12

Oh, whoops, sorry, I forgot a passive-aggressive Grin.

HoneyDragon · 25/01/2016 20:12

It's because he's all lean, and very clean looking and has nice eyes.

rosewithoutthorns · 25/01/2016 20:13

Or a funeral of course MrsD.

Why post so nasty Vag? Its not necessary is it?

I said that its my thing. Not going to go into why as such. Only that from such a young age nice teeth were taken away from me. SO I would move heaven and earth for a nice smile.

I will not date a guy with bad teeth.

Such vitriol Sad

rosewithoutthorns · 25/01/2016 20:15

Let's clear this up for once and for all.

Of course I would help towards a childs funeral. Anyone else no.
