"the most private thing i'm willing to admit"?
when originally pondering this question posed by the ok cupid robot, i wanted to post something that was a bit personally revealing but not appalling - as truly private things tend to be the latter (and horribly unattractive). so this is what i found myself typing:
"every single time i walk up stairs i have this vision of falling
and knocking my front teeth out. it gives me the shivers.
literally."
a couple of people have mentioned it on dates in the past, but recently i've had an overwhelming number of guys talk about it in their initial messages. but not in an oh-i-share-that-same/similar-fear way or even a that's-really-weird-but-you're-cute kind of way. i'm getting messages telling me about their experience knocking teeth out. one dude even told me he would show me his flipper!? (he followed it up with the admittedly cute comment "(settle down, that's what they call my partial denture.)" so i guess that was a bit redeeming...)
regardless, it gives me the heebie-jeebies. i know things like that happen to people and thanks to the miracles of modern dentistry we don't have to walk around looking like hillbillies, but don't sully our first interaction with your unfortunate dental history.
ew.
