Re: Considering the ladies, to Chris

[Guest guest]

You'd be surprised. I don't understand it, but some women (and some

men) actually feel that braces make members of the opposite sex MORE

attractive.

A guy who'd done some physical therapy on me saw me with mine

installed, and allowed as to how he thinks they're " sexy. "

" If you find them sexy, you try wearing them for a while, " was my

answer...

To be completely blunt, guys might find girls w/ braces more

attractive because they have a fetish for younger looking girls,

similar to the effect a schoolgirl uniform might have. A young boy

fetish is not very common among women, however. In any case, braces =

MORE attractive is definitely the exception to the rule, especially

for guys.

I can attest for this...every since I got my braces in March, Men have talked to

me more, even if I have my wedding ring on. And, they simply cannot believe my

true age...or that I have 3 little boys of my own. I guess my braces have their

perks...but I still want them off in a bad way!

I'm with you on your last statement, most definitely. This is one

area in which youth is greatly overrated, at least in my book.
