And cheap ones always look bad.
Some people I've seen change from glasses to contacts just look ill without them. You really notice their pasty white skin and minor blemishes stand out much more.
it's just that you are used to seeing them with glasses on. actually, it's almost impossible that somebody looks better with glasses than without, unless he's quite ugly and plain and has to go with the geek's look, in order to appear a bit more interesting.
i was about to start a similar thread, since yesterday i had some problems with my eyes and i couldn't wear contact lenses (by the way, my eyes got all red [reeeeally red] and burned as i tried to put contacts on them... today i manage to wear them, but they still feel a bit uncomfortable... what is that?!?!). well, while usually i notice random girls staring at me while i'm outside, yesterday (i had my glasses on), i didn't notice any. my female classmates told me that i'm pretty nice with glasses on and maybe i should wear them more often, but, again, there was no unknown girl that stared at me.
i'm not saying it's all about looks, it's also confidence: after getting home, i understood that i felt pretty ugly with glasses, so my confidence had gone deep down: i walked a bit curved and even my hair looked messy (not a cool mess, but a nerdy mess). throw aways those fùckin glasses, guys!
