Crazy Magnet Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 As a female, I get hit on more when I have my contacts in rather than wearing glasses. Although I hear I look like a "hot librarian fantasy" with my glasses on. It's been a frequent fantasy request from boyfriends. lol I guess at some point the glasses become hot?
Vertex Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I find glasses on a girl to be really, really sexy. :P
Devil Dog Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 You seem pretty sure that the variable in this situation is your glasses, when it could also be your attitude when you're wearing them.
Crazy Magnet Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Or it could be the rest of your outfit. If I play to the hot librarian look....I need a stick to beat them off! hahaha
boogieboy Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I used to be able to draw women with my blue eyes easily. Now I'm thinking they can't see them behind the glasses. They aren't big or thick glasses, but yeah I might have to go a**hole mode like in the old days cause this is getting redonkulous! Seeing your blue eyes is a big deal. I used to wear coke bottles. Then when I got lasik everything changed. I have hazel eyes, and its usually the first thing women notice about me. You couldnt PAY me to wear glasses now.

lecasanova Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 i've asked countless number of girls and all of them don't dig the glasses! especially the thick framed ones, horrible! contact lenses were invented for a reason dude

stevejohnson1976 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 you have to wear contacts for quite a while before your eyeballs get used to them....i will refer you to your optometrist or ophthalmologist yup...this man speaks the truth. get contacts and deal with the discomfort or be lonely
thatguy85 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Horrendous look for men: http://www.1designer-clothing.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/geeky-men-glasses.jpg A good look for men: http://www.romaoptical.com/images/bw__male.jpg The "good look" one is actually very similar to what I have. When I don't wear my glasses in front of my female friends, I've been told on numerous times that the glasses are a part of me in a GQ kind of way (they said it, not me) - and that I look weird and not as good without them. I rock my glasses with confidence.

If you choose the right style for you and wear it with confidence, comfortable in your own skin, it definitely shows!
Stung Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 If you're looking for a gender-wide consensus on this one, OP, you're not going to get it. Some women like glasses, some don't. However, since you seem to be experiencing pretty widespread negative or at best null reaction to your glasses, it seems obvious that you should take some concrete action. I mean, it must be either A) you are one of those people who genuinely looks better without glasses or B) the frames of your glasses don't look good on you, right? Go ahead and try contacts again, get your optometrist to recommend the easiest-wearing brand they sell. And as an alternative, for the days you don't want to wear contacts or if the contacts start to bother you again, get someone to go shopping with you for a new pair or two. Preferably someone female, whose sense of style you trust...your sister, a friend, hell, this could be a way to get to spend some getting-to-know-you time with a girl from work or class who you've had your eye on as long as you know her well enough to ask her for a favor...offer to buy her coffee or lunch in exchange (dinner's too much for the casual nature of this outing). Women know how hard it can be to pick out glasses when you can't really see well enough to know exactly how you look in them...we also know that a substantial number of men are style-challenged. She'll probably be sympathetic, and hopefully take it as a compliment and think it's a fun casual way to spend an hour hanging out. Plus it's just an activity not a date, no huge risk of rejection. My husband has one pair of glasses that do him no favors (he doesn't wear these anymore at my suggestion), two that are fine but unremarkable, and one pair that somehow accentuate his features in all the right ways and he looks completely hot in them. When I first got him those I finally understood why he has always had such a weakness for me in my own glasses.
Author espec10001 Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 Well they are very thin framed glasses. Nothing crazy. But yeah, I'm gonna give contacts a go again or just not wear glasses cause I can see them fine close up just not from a distance. I've had girls tell me they like me with glasses and some say I look better without them, but I've been on quite a losing streak WITH them on and it's gotta end!
Lizzie60 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I used to wear glasses and I hated it... I had the laser surgery in 1997... best thing ever... have you ever considered that.. worth it..
Stung Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Well they are very thin framed glasses. Nothing crazy. Ok, but...what if you're one of those guys who looks better with thicker frames? Maybe you'd look hot in something 'crazy.' The point is to find what looks good specifically ON YOU, which is not necessarily what looks better on a handsome model. Give the contacts a go, but get a new pair of backup glasses and get them WITH somebody who can objectively evaluate how the frames' shape and color complement your facial structure, hair, wardrobe, everything. Since you want to appeal to women, I suggest going with a woman. Or try LASIK, as has also been suggested. Everyone I know who's had it loves it, but I'm a bit squeamish about lasers on my eyeballs, personally.
Pyro Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I want laser eye surgery bad. I have had corrective lenses for 15 years now. I used glasses when I had to see something off the chalkboard in class and for reading. Once my vison got worse I switched to contacts and they were great. I switched from acuvue to Purevision and it was the worst mistake. Your eyes don't necessarily get use to contacts because they can be allergic to a certain kind. Because of these bloody purevision, I have had to keep my contacts out of my eyes for days and sometimes even weeks. For the most part I do wear my glasses now and I really don't care what people think of me in terms of looks. I'd rather see properly then worry about what people think of me. They are just your typical glasses. The people that are most important to me like the way I look in glasses.
SoulSearch_CO Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 It's: "Don't HIT a guy with glasses," but I would guess this goes over to not hitting on one, as well. Some guys can pull off the glasses look and look intellectual and still sexy. Others just look like total nerds. I'm not a huge fan of glasses. That's why I got Lasik.
D-Lish Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 My ex husband wore glasses- granted, when I met him he was wearing contacts. He was still hot with glasses- just more hot without them. I prefer "no glasses"- but when I meet a guy wearing them I can still tell whether or not he is attractive.
horrorgirl Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Ok, so heres the situation: It seems like when I'm wearing my glasses, I don't get much female attention. When I take them off it seems like I get more female attention. Is it true that girls don't make passes at guys who wear glasses, or was it the other way around? it is true that some people dont like those who wear glasses. i think that is silly, and, i can notice a man's face with or without his glasses. i say wear your glasses with pride, and go for the woman who likes you with your glasses....it is who you are and those who get turned off by glasses may be a bit more superficial.
