If I guy wears glasses (which I have to), do women subconciously sense that the guy is defective or flawed, because he has a visual impariment, and therefore should be avoided? Is this why everyone tells me to wear contacts?
I have to wear glasses for medical reasons.
No,
To me glasses are not a turn off.
I actually dated a guy who wore glasses when his contacts were bothering him and I prefered him to were glasses.
So for me no, glasses are not a turn off.

Well, how thick are they? I don't say this to be rude...But if they're like Bubbles glasses (you ever watch Trailerpark Boys?) then there's a problem. Most people aren't comfy with glasses, they have the option of wearing contacts. I do have glasses but I prefer contact lenses. Mostly because I can't stand taking pictures with glasses on, or being outside when it's hot/cold out - Glasses react to that too. Obviously you know this as you wear 'em...
If you are confident then having glasses will not make a difference. Some people look fine, some don't... It's not a deal breaker in the early stages of a relationship. If you're dating someone who is that picky, well, let them go as chances are later in life they will be in the same predictament! (Don't all OLD people, like 75+ wear glasses???)
it really isnt that big of a deal, if she is that picky well dont really change anything for her, sometimes you will have to where your glasses, you can have laser eye surgrey , than that elimiminates glasses and contacts...
but thats a cuple thousand bucks right there....
if i was with my ex, i would still fantasize about him wearing glases thats sexy haha
Nope. Not a concern of mine. My Husband wears glasses, he hates contacts.
A real woman should not be bothered by your glasses. I don't know why any one would push contacts on you. Maybe you should ask them specifically why they suggest it. There are quite a few people that can't or won't wear them. If you need them, there ain't no shame in it.

No turn off to me. Of course some guys pick the ugliest glasses possible, but then it's usually paired with a poor sense of clothing style too. But, in general, I never even paid attention.
On the other hand, my husband wears glasses once in a while when his eyes get tired of staring at the computer, and I find it wayyyyy sexy I feel like grabbing him off the chair and push him in the bedroom when he wears them
Glasses are sexy. If anyone is shallow enough to judge by appearances alone, they are going to miss out on you aren't they?? That's not your problem - it's theirs. Don't ever change your appearance to please someone else.

I think they are very sexy and are actually a turn-on for me. But if you look better without them or if they are to thick then it'd be better for you to wear contact lenses. People get used to them easily.
I look terrible in glasses so I don't wear mine. Whichever glasses I try, I look bad in them (I am a hat person - all hats look good on me ).
Would like to know ALPHAMALE'S thoughts on this one...
personally, i think everyone looks better without visual aids hanging on their ears and noses. i started wearing contacts about 7 yrs ago and i would never ever go back to glasses...
OK maybe since im a guy i shouldnt be replying to this since the question is directed towrards girls and women. But, I have had glasses for three years now, and in all the years i have worn them i have gotten nothing but compliments on how much more intellectual they make me, also a lot of girl say that i look really good in them. So, I think if anyone has to wear glasses all they have to do is pick the right frame for them and they could look really good.

And exactly how many of these girls have you had sex with PDPULLMN612?
It's great that you have that opinion, and it is very supportive, but doesn't that render your next sentence hollow?

I want to note this as an example as to why supportive posts are sometimes glossed over without being taken as seriously as negative ones.
Presumably, some people prefer others with glasses, and some don't. But the logic of the OP is correct, on some level we are conditioned to see them as a proxy of ill health. If I had to guess, I would say that more people prefer those without than those with.
However, glasses are so common that the above analysis has minimal practical impact. I would be suprised if anyone here had an experience where they were only attracted to a certain person if they saw them with glasses, but not without OR vice versa.
