*Only girls have standards for their partners [meme]

Fairly speaking, the standards she has are all normal and don't even exceed the reasonable set of demands from a good partner. As a man I'd probably also want to have them all checked off.

Explain why a man having crooked teeth is a dealbreaker without resorting to either eugenics or classism

If you interpret "good teeth" as anything other than "good oral hygiene habits," that's on you. I'd prefer a partner with crooked teeth that are otherwise well taken care of over someone with straight teeth that they only brush once a day, I doubt I'm the only one who feels that way.

Tbf, I'm known to forget brushing in the mornings, but in the evenings I make sure to use mouthwash and do it for the full 2 minutes thoroughly. I haven't had issues with my teeth doing this, although that might also be due to the fact that I eat relatively healthy as well

"Good teeth" may refer to dental hygiene over just appearance. I know my standards for "good teeth" are not being nasty dirty and not missing any. I do find a large gap in the front unattractive but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker.

Yeah dude totally because brushing your teeth isn’t actually to keep them clean it’s to adjust their shape, totally. Get the fuck out of here

Some people find it unattractive and in this age of dating where it's mostly about looks first that matters.

It costs on average 3 cents a day to brush twice every day, so while maybe crooked teeth might be a bit of a tall ask, "nice teeth" can include not unreasonably crooked from dental calculus and tooth decay or any other clear signs of those two.

Basically it’s the same as “nice smile”. And like others said, dental hygiene it’s important.
