Meanwhile, in Japan, a new fashion has women paying to have their straight teeth purposefully disarranged.
A result of tooth-crowding commonly derided in the United States as “snaggleteeth” or “fangs,” the look is called “yaeba” in Japanese or “double tooth.” Japanese men are said to find this attractive: Blogs are devoted to yaeba, celebrities display it proudly, and now some women are paying dentists to create it artificially by affixing plastic fronts to their real teeth.
"In Japan, in fact, crooked teeth are actually endearing, and it shows that a girl is not perfect. And, in a way, men find that more approachable than someone who is too overly perfect.”
Well Japan, you really are not doing anything to help yourself. Everyone knows a great smile is absolutely killer. Even if you aren't perfect anywhere else, the least you can do is have nice teeth. NO ONE wants to kiss, or wake up next to a snaggletooth. White teeth easily catch the eye of everyone. There is a reason people get braces, teeth whitened, etc. It looks better. If you Japanese men are looking to make your women uglier so that you can grow bigger balls to approach them, well then that's a sad state of affairs for Japan.
