We went on one date. He had horrible, rotten and missing teeth. I remember saying on a dating page that good hygiene/oral hygiene is a must if I want to date someone and loads of people (all men) jumped on me for it saying I was shallow and petty and disgusting.
I've lost count of the men who say "I wouldn't date a fat *****/someone taller than me/someone with dyed hair/someone who isn't a virgin, etc" but god fucking forbid I have standards. I don't want anyone's mouth near me if it's mucky. Fuck knows what the state of his dick must have been like, I didn't stick around long enough to find out.
As a guy that doesn't sound remotely petty to me. Slightly crooked or off-white teeth being a turn-off might be considered a bit petty but rotten and missing teeth is not only gross on its own but its an indicator of general poor health, hygiene and living standards which are really important. Plus I'm not putting any part of myself in something that I'd need a tetanus shot for afterwards.
On a side note... how many guys have said to you that they would only date virgins? That sounds hilariously antiquated to me, I'd much rather date someone who actually knows what they're doing and has an understanding of their own body and sexuality... basically what I'm trying to say is that virgins are overrated.
