| Would you date someone who wore braces?
Posted: 7/15/2009 2:36:02 PM | | I joined this site a week or two ago and to be honest I have not had that much response. When I message giys they seldom reply and I am beginning to think it's beacuse of the braces and if so it proves that there are a n awful lot of shallow men out there. | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 2:44:21 PM | The braces are no big deal. Welcome to the world of the initial contact your not going to get very many responses guys deal with this all the time on here.
Two things though
One: Profession Carer. Being from the states I have no idea what a carer is. Either it’s an unheard of job here or a spelling error.
Two: Set the pic of you with your boy to private. There are way to many odd individuals to put up a pic with a kid on a dating site.
Good luck with your fishing. | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 2:47:15 PM | OP, I wore em for two years and assumed I'd be a social leper - even let men know about it so they could back out of meetings if they so desired, and would have had no hard feelings if they did. Why? Because I am not sure if it were me that I'd be into it - so it's no big deal to me, people like what they like.
Turns out it didn't matter - a lot of guys seem to find any type of self improvement to be attractive. | |

I am sure the guys will be dying to make the "I don't like braces" confession after reading that.
Sorry to have to break the bad news, but some people search for years and years for the right partner. Everybody's a judge, including women. People have their preferences, and various palettes don't necessarily indicate depth of character. Men aren't shallow. All relationships are matters of starting on the surface, then delving deeper.
You have only been here a few weeks. Take your shoes off and settle in a little bit. Online dating is not the drive-through man lot that advertisers make it out to be.
Maybe it's your request. What kind of messages are you sending out? Any? What kind of people are you approaching?
Braces are not an issue. Probably not even to the dentists out there. | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 3:22:41 PM | Whoa!!! if someone is shallow enough not to date you because of braces then you're probably better of not meeting them in the first place.  | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 3:24:11 PM | First off, welcome and good luck!.
As far as the braces, of course I'd date someone who wore braces. Hell, I just got mine off 3 years ago (had them on for 2 years) and it didn't seem to affect my ability to date.
If a guy won't date you simply because you have braces, then is that really the kind of guy you'd want to date anyway? So, just consider it a good "filter" to help weed out the incredibly shallow ones.  | |

Braces = Sexy
It's like a permanent school girl outfit for your teeth!
hahahahahaha that is the dirtiest thing I have heard in a long time dude!
OP everyone else is right, if someone don't like you because of braces, then they really aren't worth your time. POF is messed up and filled with shallow people, I don't even send messages to people very often any more, just check out the forums, I have better luck talking to people for real at things like parties, the online dating scene is shallow and one dimensional sometimes.
Good luck in the future | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 4:29:42 PM | Ummm...ya, probably not the braces, but thanks for the vote of confidence in men OP. I would think it has more to do with you having a son? Just the obvious answer mind you. Unfortunately it will scare lots of men off.
And it's only been a few weeks since you joined....Rome wasn't built in a day...sorry, couldn't resist ; ) | |

Exactly, I see it as something someone is doing to improve themselves and have NO problems with it at all. I wore them many years ago and I still made lots of friends and still hung out with the girls on occasion in Jr High, so that shouldn't be a factor. It's most likely their immaturity OP for not sticking around and not taking the time to get to know you, look at it as THEIR loss. | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 6:00:19 PM | | You are an attractive woman and the braces don't change that, but the "time to become a lesbian" thing might make some men pass on contacting you. Kind of sends mixed messages, what are you really looking for? | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 6:08:52 PM | | Betty, you need to go to the profile review section and get some help with the text of your message. It would also be a good idea to get rid of the photo with your child. Let that reality come up later in the game. And the lesbian comment, although somewhat cute, confuses the issue of what you're really after. Don't blame your braces, there are plenty of things you can do to improve your presentation. | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 6:31:47 PM | My guess is that being a mother is a much larger factor than braces. People without kids, and especially guys, often have no idea how to deal with them. Seeing that you have a son introduces a large unknown and can start people down the dark path of worst case scenario. The last thing I would want to do is mess up a relationship where I let two people down, rather than simply one.
Even if there is no expectation that I would meet the kid for quite a while, the stakes feel raised and that is often enough to tip the scales. | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 6:33:29 PM | | I don't think braces matter. Hell, I had em for two years or so, then had them off and had to get them AGAIN. I feel your pain, girl lol. Really though, how good are you gonna look when those things come off??? Exaaaactly lol | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 6:42:06 PM | | Like most already said, the braces don't matter. Having a child does. Not only are you a mother, but who knows if theirs some crazy protective dad still in the picture that doesn't want his son or ex dating someone else. Guys usually avoid that type of drama. | |
