Halitosis simply means bad breath. It could
affect anyone at any age and is caused mainly
by improper management of the teeth.
According to knowyourteeth.com, more than 80
million people globally suffer from chronic halitosis. In
addition to poor oral hygiene, retained food particles
or gum diseases are other causative factors.
It is an established fact every responsible single
woman wants to have a guy she could call hers.
Women feel secure when they know they have a man
who is always at their beck and call. However, a lady
with halitosis could face some of the under-listed if she
has this disease.

1. She could become an eyesore
There is hardly any man who will feel comfortable
sitting down and gisting with a lady suffering from
bad breath. A woman’s outward beauty is the first
thing that attracts a man from a distance. On the
other hand, if a man comes closer to a lady and
knows that she has halitosis, she quickly becomes an
irritant to the man.

2. Problem of being isolated
Girls love association. Ditto, everyone cherishes being a
part of a social gathering. The inner powers of women
are displayed often when they engage in a discussion.
This is however threatened if she has halitosis. Nobody
would want to come near her. As the number of her
friends declines, so also do guys fear approaching her
because of her breath. This in turn makes her
ostracised.

3. Men fear their health
Some men believe that all diseases are communicable
and contagious. They do not listen to medical doctors
if they say otherwise. These sets of guys therefore
become curious of their health when they know a lady
with halitosis is nearby.

4. She becomes a laughing stock
Immediately a bad-breathed lady is sighted, people
who know about her status burst into laughter. This
in turn make her feel dejected. More so, this could
make men interested to inquire the reason for the
sudden comedy. If they eventually find out, it kills her
spirit.

5. Low self-esteem
Halitosis dampens the morale of a lady with the
disease. It makes her feel she is not among her peers.
It creates a vivid image in front of her of someone no
man would ever want to have as a spouse.

6. Her ideas are killed
A sufferer could have lofty ideas during a discussion or
in a learning environment. However, she keeps to
herself. Men love ladies who are intellectually sound. A
man who knows that a particular woman says
nothing and stays away from general discussion
might have mixed feelings about such a lady.

7. Stigma and name calling
Such a lady could be nicknamed, “smelling-mouth” or
“suffocating gas distributor.” This is a big stigma. If
she comes to any assembly, people mention her
nickname and forget about her real name. If a guy
who wants to show interest in her hears this and then
confirms, this makes her a no-go-area for the man
and possibly other men.
