As someone who lives in a meth heavy area. This pic needs like 2-3 random teeth left, and a bruise somewhere on their face. Also it needs to convey that they still think they are very attractive, despite looking like they just got hit by a car(which might have happened).

What's with meth and teeth absence, anyway?

They fall out because the tissue that's keeping them in place, recedes

The ones that don't fall out become jagged mini bone shivs due to all the chemicals in meth eating them away.

Poor hygiene, teeth grinding, and accidents (from being neurotic on meth and falling, running into things).

Do they really think they're attractive?

Never heard of meth whores?

You seem to believe attraction is a requirement of sex. a lot of people will pay for sex. A lot of people also rape without care of appearance. A lot of people don’t actually care about autonomy and are single minded opportunists.

As far as addiction: opinion about how they look is inconsequential and probably non existent as they are in the throws of addiction. You’re injecting a needlessly complex ideal into the simple act of being paid to have sex or just readily available sex.

A “meth whore” is a prostitute who accepts meth as payment for sex. I am not assessing the John’s perception of the prostitution’s attractiveness, but the prostitutes perception of their own attractiveness as per the rest of the post. The prostitution by necessity must believe that they possess some quality that is worth buying. Surely a willingness to have sex with whomever is willing to pay is part of that, but attractiveness is one of the core components of sexual desirability. I find it hard to believe that meth whores do not believe that they are perceived as attractive.
