Neil Strauss Explains the C vs. U Shaped Smile Routine

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 similar manner. 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 upwith, 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 thecover of People magazine. It’s said to beperceived 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 surgicallyto 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 voicethan Britney Spears, so there is some consolation):

Hope you’re happy now…
