Are Looks Everything?
How Do I Tell Him To Get His Teeth Fixed?
Q:
Dear April,
I met a nice guy... but he's missing his front teeth. This is a big
turn off. How does one tell a guy to get some teeth before you call
me again??
Signed,
Under The Gum
A:
Dear Under The Gum,
If you're interested in him, but not attracted to him because of
some facet of his appearance, in your case -- your guy is missing a
few teeth – get some more information about what it is that offends
you. For instance, in his case, you don't like his lack of teeth, so
ask him how he lost his teeth. If he ate a case of candy bars and
didn’t floss for a decade, so they all fell out, that’s one thing.
Not a good thing, but at least you know more than the fact that he
lost his teeth. You know how he lost them. If he lost his teeth
wrestling a murderer to the ground, and saved the lives of a
potential murder victim, only to bang his jaw on the murderer’s
weapon, while he was apprehending the bad guy, and lost his teeth in
the heroic act, then you may find his lack of choppers to be a bit
of a turn on.
However, aside from the way he lost his teeth, you don’t like the
look. And you're clear and uwavering about that. So tell him that
you bet he'd look very attractive and sexy with new teeth. See what
his reaction is. It would be interesting to find out why he hasn’t
had any dental work done. Are these newly lost teeth? Does he have
cancer of the jaw? Does he just happen to be meeting with an oral
surgeon next week? His answer and response will help you decide what
to do next. In fact, if he seems open to it, give him the name of a
good dentist that you know.
Sometimes men -- and women, frankly, also -- need a little push
towards getting it right. You can give him a copy of my book, Date
Out Of Your League, and tell him that he should read it if he's at
all interested in you! One of the big pieces of advice I give men
and women is to be your best self. You'll gain an edge in the dating
world, and you'll feel better about yourself if you take good care
of your body on a regular basis. Of course, if he's missing
something as basic as his teeth, and he hasn't had them replaced on
his own, he may be very eccentric or he may have a lower standard of
grooming than most people, which would make me wonder what else he
doesn't take care of.
As a single mother of three, it's okay for you to drop a few hint
and give him some friendly advice on improving his appearance, but
you don't want to take on a project in a boyfriend or future
husband. You have enough on your plate already. Besides, if you
focus on yourself and your own life, I bet you'll meet a lot of men
who actually have all their teeth!
Sincerely,
April

BRIEF BIO
April Masini is a recognized and award winning producer, author,
columnist, motivational speaker, relationship and success expert—with
politically incorrect twist. Sure to raise eyebrows, generate buzz … and
INSPIRE RESULTS!
Standing 5 feet, 8 inches tall, with a lean 127-pound body, and 38-26-36
proportions, it's not hard to understand why April Masini's impressive
list of accomplishments is not the first thing that pops into a guy's
mind upon meeting her. But April is much more than a blonde bombshell.
Though she started off her career as a model and actress, April has
moved on to become a persuasive public speaker and President/CEO of
Masini Television & Film Enterprises, LLC in Honolulu, and Masini
Enterprises, Inc. in Los Angeles.
On January 26, 2004, April's no-holds-barred advice book, "Date Out of
Your League" hit the stands, causing controversy with her witty,
well-endowed, naughty alter-ego, High Voltage Blonde, her brutally honest,
uncensored advice, and her sometimes politically incorrect message.... But
controversy quickly turned into interest, and then followings, when the
most widely read newspapers, magazines, and Web sites, around the world,
began seeking out April's comments, opinions, and expertise.
In fact, April became so popular that in February, 2004, "Ask April" was
launched simultaneously on two of FORBES Magazine's "Best on the Web"
winners, MillionaireMatch.com, who not only won with FORBES in 2003, but
was also singled out by the WALL STREET JOURNAL; along with
aLoveLinksPlus, who took FORBES top award in 2001 and 2002. Then "Ask
April" jumped the Pacific with MyNippon.com the hugely popular Japanese
site devoted to romance techniques.
When April isn’t writing, this former model/actress is leading seminars,
guest lecturing, or dedicating her time to Masini Enterprises—her
multifaceted television and film production company whose accomplishments
have been recognized, record-breaking, and award winning, with strong
connections to everything from "Baywatch" and "Blue Crush" to "LifeStyles
of the Rich & Famous" and "The Miss Universe Pageant."
