Warm don't feel down about it, we all have our things that we just can't accept. A while ago it turned out that Imany of us couldn't contemplate a man with tiny hands. Who knew?

Why not go meet him, seat him against the window light and see how it goes. If he is otherwise wonderful and can keep his mouth closed, for everthing else there are veneers Smile

i wouldn't have found out. i can't see any evidence of a girlfriend at all. all the pics with women they are all different women not one girlfriend. not that it matters i suppose. he's convinces he's not a cheat.at least i got a laugh out of that but i don't think he's with someone but either way a shity thing to do

ike1 · 13/03/2013 00:05

oh yeah! Veneers!

janflan · 13/03/2013 00:06

I've just noticed a discrepancy in coffee date's profile. The job listed in his details that he told me he'd been doing for 9 years is different to the job in his description! Hmmm........

WarmFuzzyFun · 13/03/2013 00:08

I feel shallow. I want to be accepted for who I am 'warts 'n' all' but reject someone who has stained teeth through no fault of his own.

lubeybooby · 13/03/2013 00:09

jan I've put myself down as a pole lubricator before once upon a long ago... I wouldn't take too much notice of that...

WarmFuzzyFun · 13/03/2013 00:11

I don't want to hurt him either. Apparently my feelings are immediately visible on my face.

ike1 · 13/03/2013 00:11

WFF wait and see stop ....lubeytoobooby you are a shocker.......

ike1 · 13/03/2013 00:11

stop beating yourself up!

janflan · 13/03/2013 00:11

I bet you got some comments about that! Grin

It's the same sort of job but for different companies.

lubeybooby · 13/03/2013 00:12

WFF it might not be so bad... it says blue/grey staining, I think i could cope with that and I'm funny about teeth too...

lubeybooby · 13/03/2013 00:15

I mean, it's better than no teeth or brown teeth...

ike1 · 13/03/2013 00:16

TR had awful teeth...too many sweeties....I forgot after a while...too busy being competitive!

WarmFuzzyFun · 13/03/2013 00:16

Yeah, I need to stop thinking about him.

Over 400 messages on POF and only about 5 suitable, and of those 5, 3 live too far away to be feasible. Sometimes it feels bloody pointless.

Match, I seem to attractive 'Hooray Henry's' who leave me cold. That an Germans who I like, but again, too far.

The only sliver lining is I have a very good FWB sorted to hopefully tide me over.Wink

Right...more wine, bonbons and more wine.

ike1 · 13/03/2013 00:17

Oh yeah and exH had awful nicotine teeth aswell...Brits tend to have rubbish teeth in comparison to say Americans

ike1 · 13/03/2013 00:18

Is this the IE profile WFF?

VelvetSpoon · 13/03/2013 00:20

Juliette, my nanna was only 4ft 11 (probably less than that by the time I was born) but knew her own mind and didn't take any shit :) She was the Italian side of the family, a bunch of fiery tempered, strong minded women...wonder where I get it from?!

It's weird the generational thing, because I have friends even now who think stuff like the Ex spitting on me actually wasn't THAT bad Hmm yet I know my nanna, and probably even her mum (another fiery Italian) would have despised any man who behaved like that.

WFF, I will see the positives about C with more sleep I think. Did remember a few good things earlier which made me :)

Re your POF man, I have discoloured patches on my front teeth due to childhood illness, plus they are a bit crooked and not perfect. It doesn't notice so much in photos but I am conscious of it. However, I think I am probably a lot more aware of it than other people. Not one man I have ever dated has even noticed - or if they have they haven't commented.

Have you seen a photo of him smiling to see how bad (or not) they are? It may be that it isn't that noticeable.

And as has been said, there's always veneers :)

C has annoyingly perfect teeth. Properly straight, even, and white (but naturally so, not bleached like a TOWIE extra). Most of my Exs have had worse teeth than me. If we ever get to the relationship stage, I think I will have to go down the veneers route...!

WarmFuzzyFun · 13/03/2013 00:21

We can't it be a little easier I am not asking for the moon, sun and stars. Or am I?

WarmFuzzyFun · 13/03/2013 00:24

No, he doesn't have a photo showing teeth. Which I overlooked, but now as I approach the weekend and possible meet up, I think may prove to be a problem.Sad

WarmFuzzyFun · 13/03/2013 00:31

Yeah Ike, the 400 responses (in less than 36 hours) with no photo, no explicit stuff just talking about the need to stimulate my brain first.

I chatted to him for a bit then directed him to my 'relationship' profile. He has the intellect and bouncy banter that I really like and find attractive.

My 'relationship' profile on POF has probably had a quarter of the responses over about 8 weeks.

KirstyWirsty · 13/03/2013 06:25

Morning all!!

What are the dating sites that you are signed up for for Glasgow lubey and wine? I was on POF it was full of spuds

Snapespeare · 13/03/2013 06:43
