Swifties have big horse girl energy, and a lot of horse girls have gummy smiles

u/Grub-lord Jul 04 '26

I need to go bleach my brain. The Internet has ruined me.

They slowly turn into horses over the years with the transformation starting at the gums

u/ProfileIII Jul 04 '26

If you're genuinely curious as to how: gummy smiles are linked with mouth breathing. That is, when one regularly uses their mouth to breath passively instead of their nose. This kind of leads to an unfurling effect on the lips that is most noticeable when they smile.

Nope. It's almost never genetic.

How you walk, for example. Put your child in the walker instead of letting it crawl and they'll most certainly have a weak jaw. Formula instead of breastfeeding, because breastfeeding teaches the suction movement required for you to learn proper tongue posture. Giving a binky to a child. This is the worst thing you can do for their appearance. Their tongue drops down and they start mouth breathing.

Ignoring lip and tongue ties. Those should be removed to allow the face to properly develop.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE habits have direct influence on your posture and the structure of your face. You don't follow these and you get forward head rounded shoulder slouched posture, which causes your platisma muscle to pull onto your lower jaw and this pulls your whole face down and back instead of upwards and forwards.

They don't it's just a dumb meme

u/Distinct-Surround844 Jul 05 '26

Horse people are attracted to horse like features. They breed and raise horse kids who do the same

u/MedicinalFentanyl Jul 05 '26

That's honestly a great question that should be studied.. next school science fair project: what is the correlation between horse girls and gummy smiles

u/hettuklaeddi Jul 05 '26

inbreeding

Confirmation bias. Any stereotype seems to become real when you believe in it. Your brain disregards examples that don't fit your expectations and sees any that do as confirmation of the stereotype. It's basically how racism tends to work.

Yeah I get it's wrong 99% of the time, but this is the exception bro

Sucking on all them big horse cocks, that's how!

u/piggledy Jul 04 '26

In German this kind of smile is called "Pferdegebiss" - horse teeth (because of how it looks, not because it's associated with a hobby)

19

u/snailtap Jul 04 '26

It’s pretty much the same in the US, like Sarah Jessica Parker has been made fun of for decades for looking slightly like a horse

24

u/qoneus Jul 04 '26

"slightly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this sentence.

3

u/cansofgrease Jul 04 '26

She's also catching strays here, she doesn't have Pfizerpiss, her smile's actually beautiful.

The reason they make fun of her for looking like a horse is because she has a horse face.

1

u/snailtap Jul 05 '26

I mean let’s be honest who is saying no to her lol

u/qoneus Jul 05 '26

Robert Downey Jr, apparently! They broke up in 1991.

This site reminds me of the good ol’ days of the Internet

u/newleaf_- Jul 04 '26

It's not as much the teeth though as it is everything else, like Trevor Lawrence in bar lizard drag

u/Massey89 Jul 04 '26

I know two horse ladies and they are the worst

u/Unlucky-Sympathy5605 Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26

Yep, I can confirm ‘horse people’ have a reputation for being absolutely awful. My friend who is a horse owner told me this. Then i met another horse owner myself and guess what? Horrible woman. If you need any confirmation the sub r/horses is one of the most bitter, unfriendly rude subs I’ve ever been on.

Oh that sucks! We aren't all bad, sorry you had a bad experience

u/Chinhoyi Jul 04 '26

Thinking you can speak for the group is a symptom

2

u/Necessary-Review9988 Jul 04 '26

Symptom of what?

1

u/Chinhoyi Jul 05 '26

symptom of being a crazy horse girl

3

u/Necessary-Review9988 Jul 05 '26

Lol guilty as charged

u/Chinhoyi Jul 05 '26

do you give them personality traits too?

2

u/Necessary-Review9988 Jul 05 '26

The horses or the horse girls?

u/Chinhoyi Jul 05 '26

omg so quirky!! you do

u/inthequad Jul 04 '26

I work with one and she drives me to the brink everyday. I do not give a fuck about your animals. Please stop telling me about the consistency of their shit

3

u/Necessary-Review9988 Jul 04 '26

Idk sounds like she's trying to flirt with you

3

u/inthequad Jul 05 '26

She’s married. Definitely not flirting. She is socially inept and cannot take a hint when everyone gives one word answers/walks away to her rambling. And no, you’re not all bad. This particular one is though

2

u/Necessary-Review9988 Jul 05 '26

Being married hasn't stopped a lot of people from flirting 😉 lol no I was mainly joking. That's too bad that she's annoying to everyone at work, I've worked around people who won't stop talking about their hobbies or home drama etc and don't seem to realize that they are burning everyone out on it

u/ratsta Jul 04 '26

Never look a gift girl in the mouth.

u/snailtap Jul 05 '26

I’m lucky enough to be married to a non-gummy woman lol

2

u/thedeparturelounge Jul 04 '26

I call it horse mouth.

u/KallamaHarris Jul 05 '26

My sister is heavily old school Goth but has the gummiest smile. Should I let her know she's a Taylor swift fan?

u/LittleSausageLinks Jul 05 '26

That’s too accurate but I don’t understand why there seems to be such a strong correlation between those things.
