Generally, are people more or less attractive with glasses on?

[Robb]

Does it imply a certain studiousness that could be considered attractive? Or a lack of vision that's a downer?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. generally less attractive because it distorts your natural eye size

making it smamller or bigger.

[Deep13]

2. Since I'm far-sighted, they look better to me when I'm not wearing glasses. nt

[billyskank]

3. I cannot answer in the general sense

because I think some ladies who wear glasses look prettier with them on, and some others look prettier with them off.

As an aside, I hate it in movies when there is a female character who is supposed to be a bit nerdy. Then, at some point the film, she takes her glasses off and lets her hair down, and everybody is: oh my god! Who knew??

I'm screaming, I knew!! I was lusting after her since her first appearance!

[MrScorpio]

4. I wear glasses... So this makes me less sexy?

Who knew?

[texanwitch]

6. Looking good.

I don't think it is the glasses but the style of the glasses.

Your glasses really fit your face.

I need new glasses but can't find fames that I like.

[MrScorpio]

17. The frames are the thing

Find a better choice. Wearing glasses should enhance your sexitude, no diminish it

[supernova]

21. Hubba Hubba

:loveya:

Chocolate never looked so good. ;-)

[XemaSab]

44. More sexy.

:9

[MissMillie]

5. I'll let you all decide how I *look* w/ my glasses on

but you need to know that I *see* much better when I'm wearing them.

[HughBeaumont]

7. Women are WAY hawter with glasses on.

He's not too shabby either . . .

[MrScorpio]

9. I've never discounted a woman's looks based on glasses

I like to focus on personality, which is waaaay more important to me

[HughBeaumont]

12. Like it's said below . . .

. . . I have a "thing", also, for women in specs.

[MrScorpio]

15. I've got a thing too

And they like it when they see it

[HughBeaumont]

19. They probably faint . . .

[supernova]

25. *sigh*

Makes me wish I wore glasses.

[HughBeaumont]

27. That doesn't mean women WITHOUT glasses aren't hawt.

Look at the lioness, for instance.

With me, it's the whole librarian/bookworm/studious look with YSL business suits . . . and I'll just stop there. :)

[NewJeffCT]

8. I think most women look better with glasses

But, I have a "thing" for women in glasses.

[Arugula Latte]

10. Hmmm..."more attractive" is winning...maybe I should cancel my Lasik appt.

;)

No sooner will I get my massive nearsightedness fixed, though, and then I'll need reading glasses when I get those "over-40-and-can't-read-the-menu" eyes, so I probably won't be glasses-free for long.

[baldguy]

11. People are more attractive with glasses

Without my glasses I can't see them.

[Momgonepostal]

13. I think it really depends

Glasses can really change a way someone looks. Generally the right glasses complement, but boy, bad glasses can really make someone look a lot older, or fatter, or nerdier. I'm a glasses wearer and think it's important to update your frames every so often, so you don't look like you stuck in the last decade (or two decades ago!).

So, it depends on the glasses, and the wearer.

That, and Robb is a dingbat. :-)

[racaulk]

14. I think it depends on the person.

I think some people are more attractive with glasses, and others are more attractive without.

[Bennyboy]

16. Girls with glasses ..........Love em!

[Patiod]

18. I never notice until I'm in L.A.

Where it seems that no one wears glasses (compared to Philadelphia).

Then I notice.

I think people look way better without them, but 1) I have bad dark circles, which they help to hide and 2) my eyes are WAY too dry for contacts or LASIK 3) in my job, it's important for me to "look smart", and you can't really deny that glasses help.

Fortunately, I don't really obsess over my appearance, so I don't care ---- except in L.A., when I do feel a little self-conscious.

[redqueen]

20. More more more more more.

Definitely!

:7

[billyskank]

23. You're such a nerdophile.

:D

[redqueen]

26. YES INDEED!

I will never forget the day one of my old boyfriends got contacts. I was SO sad. :(


And then recently... this guy showed me a pic with glasses after I'd seen a few without. VA VA VOOM! :D

[Pierre.Suave]

22. YUMMY

girls with glasses make me melt...

Especially if they are cute without, they will be irresistible with.

[Dr. Strange]

24. It really depends on the glasses.

But generally, I'd say more attractive.

On the other hand, I also think people are generally more attractive with their clothes off. Which seems contradictory, I know. But that's just my preference.

[grace0418]

28. It depends on the wearer and on the glasses. I look much better with glasses but

if I were wearing a yucky, unflattering style that wouldn't be the case.

[rug]

29. I can't tell without my glasses on.

[DarkTirade]

30. There should be an option for 'depends on the person'

Some look better with, some without.

[lost-in-nj]

31. I wear contacts during the day

and glasses at night....
i guess I will have to post a "wearing glasses" picture...
so I can find out which one I look best!

[Left Is Write]

32. I think my glasses make ME less attractive...

largely because I think my eyes are my best facial feature.

However, there is no across-the-board answer. Depends on the person, the face, and the glasses. Some people look better with glasses and some people look better without.

[SPKrazy]

33. I think a lot of people look better with them

or at least wearing them sometimes

I have moved and sadly at the moment have no fucking idea where my glasses are. I know where my driving glasses are. But my bifocals seem to have vanished. :shrug:

I think I don't know if i look better with or without glasses.

I've only worn them for about 2 years now. Maybe less than that.

[Sugar Smack]

34. I said ******MORE******

I love them love them love them!!!:loveya: Gawd, I am such a sucker.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

37. Really?

;)

[Nikia]

35. I look much better without glasses

People treat me completely differently. I suppose though it is possible that my lack of confidence with my glasses affects my behavior to the extent that people will treat me like an ugly freak.
My husband looks better without glasses also.

[Mutley]

36. Depends on the person.

:shrug:

[Jamastiene]

38. Depends on the glasses (the frames).

Sometimes, it can make a person look distinguished, sometimes not. Pick the right frames for the right face shapes and you can have a great look. Pick the wrong ones and it can be downright humorous. In any case, if someone needs glasses, just wear them. It's what comes from inside that makes a person beautiful or not, ultimately.

[RevolutionaryActs]

39. You tell me?

Really, I think I look best without them... but, you know, I like seeing and I can't do contacts. Oh no! :o


Rev without...


Rev with...

[XemaSab]

46. I dig the Rev with...

I'm not gay, or a man, but I think the glasses look better. :D

[Aristus]

40. I can't be-LIEVE no one has posted this yet:

Tina Fey:



Gorgeous, sexy, YOWZA...with glasses.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

41. There is prejudice against glasses wearers and nobody will admit it.

I've worn 'em since I was a little kid. I'm extremely nearsighted and was told by a doctor I can't have Lasik.

And it pisses me off that on TV, and for public figures, it seems that men are allowed to wear glasses, but women are NOT, generally. Not fair for those of us for whom they are a NECESSITY.

If you're that shallow about looks, and hate glasses, I don't wanna be your friend.

I wore contacts when I was young and vain (started in hard ones), and thought my lack of dates was due to glasses. Now I don't want to fool with them, although I can see far better in contacts.

[HEyHEY]

42. I'm a hottie

[XemaSab]

43. Depends on the person

:9

[Omphaloskepsis]

45. I like with glasses..

The nerdy librarian look does it for me.

[Evoman]

47. I look WAYYYY better without my glasses.

The only feature I have that I've consistently been told is sexy or hot is my "intense" eyes. And when I wear glasses, I lose it.

[ghostsofgiants]

48. Depends on the individual.
