C and U Shaped Smile Pics by Neil Strauss

I came across a blog by Neil Strauss about his routine C vs. U shaped smiles. I chose to re post it here because I believe that a lot of people are confused as to what is meant by c and u shaped smile.

Over all I would be skeptical to use this routine. If its a girl you’ll never see again, then fuck it, go for it… but if its a girl in your social scene who gets hit on a lot then you run the risk of exposing yourself as someone who uses canned lines.

I think a smarter idea is to understand the theory of why this works and create your own routines in a similiar manner. If you need to learn more about creating routines read Magic Bullets..

One of the most common questions I’ve
gotten about the book came out is, “Will
you go for coffee with me if I promise
not to ask you too much about pickup?”

The second most common question is,
“What the fuck is a C-shaped smile?”

They’re referring to a routine I came up
with, which Papa used to help land Paris
Hilton’s phone number in The Game.

The shape refers not to the lips or mouth
but to the teeth.

A C-shaped smile is one in which someone’s
row of upper teeth are shaped like a C.
It’s a wide smile, with many teeth showing
in the front.

This is the classic smile you see on the
cover of People magazine. It’s said to be
perceived as a friendlier, warmer smile.

Britney Spears has one:

Now a U-shaped smile is one in which just
two or three teeth are seen in the front,
then the teeth run straight back. It’s
somewhat reminiscent of a horse’s mouth.

It’s said to be perceived as unfriendly.

No offense to anyone who has a U-shaped smile,
because I think the theory is horseshit and
say so when I present it.

However, many celebrities it turns out have
had their teeth actually reshaped surgically
to a C. One of them I even wrote a book with.

Christina Aguilera didn’t have that surgery.
She has classic U-Shaped Smile where the teeth
show mostly along the sides of the mouth rather
than in the front (She also has a better voice
than Britney Spears, so there is some consolation):

Hope you’re happy now…
