So how is an African woman artificially increasing her tooth gappage because it is the beauty ideal any different than a small chested woman is the U.S. getting breast implants because larger boobs are an ideal here? The writer seems to condone the African practice because it happens to back up their argument. But at the same time slags women trying to live up to the ideal of having straight non-gapped teeth. What a steaming pile.

And the notion that gap-toothed women are somehow inherently friendlier or open than the non-gapped type. Is this writer serious with this stuff.

If a women is beautiful then a gap won’t effect the overall impact of the facial symmetry, proportion and harmony that defines beauty in a classical sense. If she is ugly than the same gap is not going to make her any less so. The models described in the article are probably all beautiful in this classical sense. A gap between the front teeth is a very minor deviation on a woman like that and is easily integrated in the overall appearance.

Isn’t thinking gaps are more beautiful than no gaps the same as thinking the opposite in the big picture.
