Filed under personal hygiene, November 19th, 2009 by administrator

Since clean white teeth is a big part of a person’s appearance, it plays a part in the dating success of any single person. Whether you are dating to meet the right person to marry or you are just playing the field, your success is affected by your appearance and your total persona.  Clean white teeth is a crucial part of your persona and this article discusses the three main ways clean white teeth contribute to your dating success.

Dating is all about first impressions

when two people meet and decide to try to get to know each other better they have few things they can refer to in judging the other person.  They don’t have a past they can use to get an impression of what the other person is really like.  They have to figure out the other person very quickly.  That is why first impressions are very important when it comes to dating.  First impressions revolve around appearances–appearances about health, appearances about wealth and income, and appearances about character.  Although many dates are set up through friends over referrals, how a person verified whether their date is a “good person” revolves around first impressions and visual cues.  Since people are normally very busy or don’t have the time, they only get one chance to make a good first impression.

Your appearance is a big part of of the first impression you make

Your appearance implies health, values, background, and attitude.  Don’t let yellow teeth or a generally bad appearances ruin your chances of making a good first impression during your date.

Dating is all about signals

Dating is all about learning more about the other person to see if you have the same values or if you look at the world the same way.  Obviously, values and a person’s worldviews aren’t very obvious or shared freely at first.  Sometimes people don’t even know themselves enough to say what these are.  The person you’re dating looks at your appearance and your persona to get signals and clues as to your personal values.  Clean white teeth, say one thing.  Yellow teeth, say another.  Don’t let the color of your teeth give the person you’re dating the wrong signals.  This might be your soulmate.  Don’t lose that person just because you neglected one part of your appearance.

Dating is all about appeal

Like it or not, society dictates what appeals to us.  It maybe superficial, but clean white teeth indicates a healthy, hygienic, and thoughtful person.  Your potential soulmate might think “if this person doesn’t even take the time to take care of their teeth properly, will they have the time to take care of me properly.” You don’t want to lose your potential soulmate through something that seems very superficial like hygiene.  Invest in your persona today.
