Wearing Glasses a...disadvantage?

[SoSuaveDude]

Are glasses generally a turnoff for women? i honestly dnt know if i should get contacts because i always hear that they dry out your eyes, but idk if glasses are considered attractive. does anyone have a story on how they been treated by women when sporting specs compared to contacts

I wear both.

If you are wearing ****ty glasses yes. Get some designer frames. I look better with glasses, especially when I have a suit on IMHO.. when I am getting really spiffy I throw them on definitely. The misses loves them

I have definitely gotten more attention wearing contacts than glasses. But then I have blue eyes which alot of people love. You can't see them as well with glasses.

However I rarely, if ever, wear contacts. I have never gotten used to them. They burn and I'm blinking constantly. Plus I don't really like touching my eyeball.

Glasses may hurt with some women but the vast majority won't care. Especially if they are stylish, fit your face well, and worn with a mature outfit.

I've been wearing contacts since I was 13 years old. After the initial, inevitable learning curve, there isn't anything to it. You put them in and you forget you're wearing them. I spend a little over $200 a year on contacts and I think they're completely worth it. Not to mention, I can still wear glasses when I feel like mixing it up.

By the way, I wear Acuvue 2, the thinnest contact on the market - that is definitely a factor. There are a lot of sh1tty contact lenses out there.

Wearing glasses can be a disadvantage IF you have an ugly pair of glasses. Like backbreaker said, wear designer glasses.

Personally I wear Ray-Ban's Wayfarer glasses (these: http://www.sunglassesbestprices.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/wayfarer-glasses.jpg)

I am always getting women commenting on how awesome they are.

first, if you have a fat face, glasses won't look as good. go contacts.

If you have been working out though, or just have a squarish face in general, glasses can really enhance your look

I own 4 pair of glasses, and 2 pair of sun glasses. This is what I wore when I went out a few nights ago

I have a thicker pair of black rims as well and I have a rimless pair as well.

glasses are like shoes. they can **** up an outfit or they can really put the outfit over the top

I wear glasses myself. In general, glasses are a negative, because they show weakness, like thin hair. There's no way around that fact. It is always better for your appearance not to wear glasses than to wear them.

When you do wear glasses, get some that are discreet. They shouldn't have sharp corners or be round, they should have thin frames and kind of follow your eye socket. Slightly square-shaped with round corners is best.

Discreet, but don't get glasses that have no frame at all on the top and bottom. Those just draw attention to themselves too.

I know many people who wear lenses, and they say you get used to them after the first painful weeks.

Best way to make glasses look good: work out. When you are slim and athletic, practically anything else will be forgiven. Just like you will be okay with a girl wearing glasses when she is pretty and has firm breasts.
