Didn't you read the thread? His teeth are bad. He's not just getting them bleached. He basically will have new teeth.

Your teeth are a HUGE part of your appearance and self-image. A smile can convey a lot, and there is no excuse for bad teeth in this day of modern dental work.

Of course, don't get TOO caught up in your appearance. Once you check this off, relax and let your personality come through.

My insurance covers most of it. 6 grand is what's left. Braces are 1,500. Then I have to get Retainers which is like another 1,000. I also have to get some surgery done. Extracting a baby tooth and shaving some of my teeth. Whitening is the last step.

It sounds right. It sounds expensive if you haven't had that much work done, but it will be well worth it. I have a relative who has worked in dentistry for two decades, and the science has advanced so much. They can almost work miracles now.

Teeth, keeping my skin clear, working out and eating healthy is all I can do.

It's working. Women treat me alot better since I have gotten my skin cleared up a little more.

Congrats. Good for you.

I do want to be rich which is why I'm even going to college and why I even went to trade school but I also want to genuinely attract women.

I DO NOT WANT MONEY TO BE THE REASON WHY I ATTRACT WOMEN.
Neither do most of us guys, and I do understand what you are saying. I mean, though, that it can be a factor in the entire package that helps you attract the kind of woman you want.
Quote:

It's not genuine attraction and they will only be attracted based off what I do for them. Money is nothing but icing on the cake or should be a bonus. I want women to be physically attracted to ME; again not the money or power that I may acquire.
That's good, but cosmetic procedures won't guarantee the type of result you're looking for any more than an accumulation of wealth. Do desirable women like hotties with great teeth and a little money, or do they prefer a guy with OK teeth and lots of money? I guess you do have to decide which one you would rather be.

Quote:
I seen what happens to unattractive or boring rich guys who have nothing going for them besides their money. They become desperate and get used by women or still end up alone like another poster said.
So can good-looking guys whose looks eventually fade.

Quote:
And even if they do somehow...find a women who would "put out" in exchange for sex; like another poster said, in the back of their minds the rich guy knows the women he's talking wouldn't give him the time of day if he were average. ...
That's why he's rich.


Quote:
I'm not saying thats the case with rich men. I'm saying that 9/10 those scenarios are the scenarios that are played out with men who depend on money solely to get women.
Well, there is a happy medium. I'm not rich or good looking, but I am well-educated. From what I've been told, that is a very important attribute, especially to the type of women I like (doctors, professors, business owners).

He might have bad teeth. Or he might be the type of person who just thinks he has bad teeth. I've seen hot women all over the place (including this very forum) who are convinced that they are unattractive.

Being rich won't change the fact that the person you sleep with at night, is only with you because you can do things for her. It's a lie. She loves THE money not the man.

How long does it take for good looks to fade? By the time that happens I should be in a secure relationship based off genuine initial attraction getting ready to jump in my casket.



Thanks for the congratulations.

I say get the teeth fixed as well. It will be good for your health, good for your self esteem and good for your career.

If you haven't done so yet, go to a dermatologist. I've seen tons of both men & women fighting with OTC products to cover or clear their acne, when a Dr. can give you $10 worth of the right RX and get it fixed in a week.

Good luck!
