Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

If you didn't have bad breath would you want to date someone with bad breath ?
Be honest

no

probably not ..

Honestly..no..

I cant stand anyone's bad breath. Bad smells make me heave!

When I can see that a person clearly has impeccable hygiene, BB doesnt bother me too much.

A lot of this problem is about psychology, because no matter how good I tried to make myself look and feel, I still felt sub-human having BB. But yet on another person with BB I dont see them as sub-human if I know they cant help their BB, or at least get the impression that they cant help it.

When a person has BB, just the slightest hint that its due to their oral hygiene makes me feel ill, but otherwise it doesnt.

Its the same with BO. If a person keeps wearing the same clothes and doesnt look like they shower every day etc. If they look squeaky clean, then their BO doesnt bother me.

I dont even know what BO is though, to be honest. Whenever anyone mentions a person with BO, I cant smell anything. And whenever I seem to be able to smell a type of bodily odour on a person, nobody else seems to notice it - strange

May I ask what is the point of this question? Are you trying to demonstrate that we as a group are a bunch of hypocrites, that we expect others to except our problem but we are ourselves would be no better if we did not have chronic bb? I don't get it.

This is a fine question. Completely agree with halitosisux.
Although i like a nice smell on a person, there must be some kind of odor or intensity for me to like it more. That is just a, i think, a way of nature helping us choose a partner
Oh, and halitosisux, i laughed at your final part. Body odor exists, and it varies in intensity and smell. I'm sure you and others would notice it if it was a strong one, because unlike bad breath, body odor can fill a room.

The only time I ever notice room filling body odour is when nobody else seems to notice it, and vice versa. I have never seen a person with BB stink a room out, not even the most horrendous case of bad breath.

I've seen people with body odour which only I seem to be able to detect, stink a room out.

Halitosisux,

If you don't know what body odor is, then you have obviously never been on a New York City subway train in July before they installed air conditioning.

honestly, if i didn't have bb, i wouldn't care IF i truly liked the other person. in fact, even as someone with bb, i have dated a bb sufferer. and i know he knew it of his and my bb, too. our relationship did not last, but his bb didn't make me like him any less. we broke up for other reasons. the only thing it did make me feel was self-conscious. i remember thinking that i wouldn't want people to think that we're the couple-stinkmouth. i was thinking i would so totally not care if i didn't have bb, and only he had it. i would totally not have any inhibition about being with him.

and hey, californication, are you still bb free?
are you still doing peroxide and baking soda?

In an alternate reality where I did not suffer from this, no I probably would not date someone with bb. BUT, because I am aware of this kind of living, I, of course, have a very deep understanding for it. So, if I were to meet someone I was truly interested in dating who had this condition, I would try to open up to them and help them.

This is pretty much reality. I know that i probably would not, but like 222chick says, because I'm aware of how much social problems it could cause someone, I would understand it more.

Also you see ppl donating money to curing certain diseases, but most of the time it is because they suffered from it themselves and recovered from it.

It depends!!

to date or not to date...that is a good frickin question. Well I'd say I would. But only because before my condition arrived, I dated a guy with BB. I know he was self concious about it, we joked a lot about it. But he was cool as shit (no pun intended). And we did things that didn't put us in awkward situations, concerning BB (no driving without the AC on ect. ect)

Now that I have the condition and having dated others without BB, I realize that personality is everything. Literally. If your personality stinks, along with your breath, things just suck all around.
