Hey there!

So this is my first post here, and with that I just want to say thanks for the awesome site! It's really entertaining, informative, and inspiring.

Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to properly introduce myself or whatnot, as I need to get up early and it's already late enough haha.

My question is:

Do braces affect PUA-ability? Will this hinder any techniques or make the game harder? I'm quite worried about this.

I really do need them, and will have enough money to afford them almost the same time I start college in the States. As I'll be 22, I am worried about how this will affect me.....

Cheers for any input and best luck!!

It's easier to fall into the "cute" and "let's just be friends" category... but it's all about how you handle yourself. If you're insecure about them it will show, as with any insecurity... if you're confident it doesn't matter. And the good thing is you're working on your appearance. Think of it this way if you can game with braces, you'l be better without

Braces will affect your game LESS than things like height, hair loss, age, or pimples affect game.

You've got nothing to worry about. Hopefully you know how to stir up attraction in women (or are learning) and if you know this you'd realize physical traits which we find to be below attractive are really no big deal as long as your other bases are covered.

i agree with what's been said. it all comes down to how you feel about them. personally, i'm not all that tall (about 5'8", maybe 5'9" on a good day) and still have a bit of acne from time to time, but i don't view this as any sort of a hindrance and it hasn't been.

like Mr stated, this is a form of self improvement and if you can game with them, you'll be better when you get them off, especially since having straight teeth can add wonders to your confidence.

not to mention, there are also those invisi-line braces which are basically clear plastic things that go over your teeth. they're supposed to be much less noticeable and can be taken out. they probably cost more though, i don't really know.

bottom line: i don't think you have anything to worry about really. it's all about your confidence wearing them.

I used to wear braces from the age of 8 to 18. so throughout my whole school life. This did not affect me during school. cause i went to an all boy school.

What i have noticed, is that it is all about the mindset. Some days i will shitty, and look in the mirror and feel am not all that, whereas some days i will feel like the man, and look in the mirror and feel that am the most attractive man in the world. The crux is to find out how to get you in to that positive and helpful mindset. Each has their own methods, doing things they are passionate about, exercise, listening to fave music etc etc.

IF you lett your braces, or any thing get in your way, then it will. It will affect you and you will end up suffering especially with girls, cause you will end up not in the moment, incongruent, your body language and voice (non verbals) will be unattractive etc etc. thus turning off women.

You should reframe your doubts and find positive aspects to it. This can be hard if you are in a negative and/or pessimistic frame of mind. This not done to brag to the girl about, but to satisfy and remove your doubts.

For example, i used to be self conscious about girls looking at me, i fellt there was something wrong with me. Now i take it as they are just attractted to me, cause i am tall, confident etc. so i just smile at that them and give eye contact to make their day, even stick my tongue out for a bit of fun. IF i have time, i will talk to them, if i find them intriguing ( physically attrractive, or certain energy etc)

For you and you braces - you could think of them as you setting your self out from the crowd, being unique, know that girls will enjoy the danger of get the tongue cut when makeing out with you. It also shows that you care about your body and yourself to do something about it.

Remember you are starting college at 22, which is much older then a lot of the other students, so that is an advantage, you are more mature and experienced then a lot of the guys there.

Just see everything in a positive light and be optimisitic, but always improve yourself, cause you are not perfect. Also emphasised your strengths i.e. if you are good at teasing-> tease her; if you are good at dancing -> do club game; if you are good at connecting and relating with girls -> do this

Man when I was younger, I remember my cousin had braces and I thought it made him look cool. So when i finally got braces I felt like I was the SHIT! I felt really cool and plus I thought they made me talk cool also. I had braces from 7th grade until my sophmore year in high school. So change your mindset about braces.

Now, if you have the head gear and stuff, that may be a problem. lol.
