Napoleon Bonaparte Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Here's a question for both genders. A lot of people are self-conscious of how they look when they wear glasses. I find glasses look very sexy on a woman. Do you find the opposite (or same if you're gay) sex more or less attractive wearing (a decent pair) of glasses? Link to comment
easyguy Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I think that would depend on the woman. Some glases are more stylish than some, too. I don't think I'd be attracted to a woman who is wearing Harry Potter glasses. Certain types of glasses look good on different people. I guess it makes her look more intellectual, which is often considered sexy. Link to comment
Napoleon Bonaparte Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 That's why I said decent. Although a chick with Harry Potter glasses is sexy to me cuz she looks like a total nerd which to me is really hot. Link to comment
Hope75 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I have fine light blue wire frame glasses and also own a pair of tortoise shell retro glasses (which I wear mostly in winter) and am told I look quite attractive in them. My bf mostly wears contacts, but does sometimes wear his wire frame glasses and I think he looks very cute in them. I think it depends on the glasses, and the person's facial frame, they can either add to his/her appeal, or take away from it. Obviously not big, clunky, outdated frames, but other than that I like them on a person. Link to comment
whatdoyado Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Some guys can pull the glasses look and do look very attractive as well, just depends on if the guy is comfortable in his glasses and how the glasses fit to the form of his face. Link to comment
smallworld Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I love glasses, have worn them forever, and will never give them up for anyone. As for if glasses are sexy on others, that depends on the person, the glasses, and the "attitude" behind them. 8) Link to comment
ShySoul Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Glasses symbolize intelligence, and I find intelligence to be one of the most important qualites a person can have (probably only second to a great heart). So its no surprise that I find glasses on a female to be incredible attractive. And style of glasses doesn't mater. I wear glasses. Don't think I could go without them now. But remember, it isn't the glasses that make someone look good, its the person that makes the glasses look good. Link to comment
SimoneTiger Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I don't agree that "glasses symbolize intelligence" (however, owls do--go Rice University Owls!)... If anything, they advertise the fact that the person wearing them is old-fashioned, possibly stubborn. Glasses can make you look geeky & retarded, especially on girls. I am not saying that this is the case for everyone, but when I see a pretty girl wearing glasses it just makes me wonder, "Why the hell hasn't she gotten contacts yet?" The best look for women or men is... well, as natural as it gets. Accessories, make-up, etc. should only be used to enhance what you already have and bring out your good features. Two pieces of glass and a bunch of wire on your face is very far from that concept... Here is my point: how often do you see someone wearing glasses and think to yourself, "Wow, these are some really good-looking glasses." More often than not, it's "I bet she would look good without those awful glasses"--i.e., we only notice them when they distort someone's facial features. And then again, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Why would you want to put anything in front of them other than for routine protection from the sun? Link to comment
ShySoul Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Well, I happen to think geeky girls are hot. But thats just me. Glasses to fit with intelligence and you proved it in what you just said. You associated them with geeks who are basically negatively stereotyped intelligent people. I agree with going natual, so if you don't need the glasses, don't bother. But if you need them, might as well go with thinking they are attractive. I find that they draw attention to the eyes, and make me notice her eyes more. Link to comment
bellamcb Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I wear glasses every so often- to things like movies and to drive (I'm near sighted). Never heard anything but compliments from men. Never! In fact, I consider getting the lasic surgery but my husband loves the glasses. If I had to wear them all the time....would get the surgery. But like I said, to answer your question, I think they've been a real turn on to men. Link to comment
Napoleon Bonaparte Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 I wear glasses and can't get contacts cuz my eyes are too sensitive and I would probably forget to take them out. Sometimes I don't wear em. (usually when I am sick of looking at people) I wouldn't really wanna be with a girl though who thought I was geeky and unattractive looking because I was wearing glasses even if she was hot or funny. I would likely automatically presume she was unsophisticated. Link to comment
Spirits Away Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 glasses symbolize intelligence For whatever reason, i happen to find it so as well. It's more a perception than a truth. I've been told i look very acedemically smart when i wear glasses..................................................... All i can say is, that they have very low interpretation skills. Cacasian girls look really good with one of those rectangle shaped glasses. They're super hot with 'em. Looks really intelligent & sophisiticated. I find the glasses style better with guys than with girls. The female glasses are not there yet, or maybe it's simply because stylish glasses are meant to be "cool" and cool fits better with men than with woman. Any observations? Link to comment
Lexicon85 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Definitely hot. But... I just lost my fav. pair of glasses so this is a sore spot for me. Link to comment
kimichuck Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I've been wearing glasses since i was 6 and got contacts about a 6 months ago. I've had quite a lot of compliments with my glasses as well as without, so i just wear whatever i feel like when i wake up in the morning these days Link to comment
cichlid Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I wear contacts when I actually feel like wearing them. A good friend of mine and I were talking and he mentioned wearing glasses for the past few years and I was like you wear glasses?! Because I honestly don't really see the glasses when I look at a person. Anyway...yeah... Link to comment
CarterJonas Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Glasses can look very sexy on a person. It important to choose a frame that suits you though. There is a girl I work with that wears glasses that makes her look sexy and intelligent Link to comment
DN Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I wear glasses as well. When I was dating I found the advantage of them was that when I took them off the vast majority of women looked sexy and attractive. Link to comment
ShySoul Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 When I was dating I found the advantage of them was that when I took them off the vast majority of women looked sexy and attractive. I hear alcohol can do that too. But glasses are much safer. For whatever reason, i happen to find it so as well. It's more a perception than a truth. I've been told i look very acedemically smart when i wear glasses Well, when you think about it there's logic behind it. People who are smart can spend alot of time with there face buried in a book, staying up late studying when it gets dark, staring at a computer screen. Those are things that can affect your eye sight. Yes, its stereotyping and is more perception then truth, but I can see logic behind it. Link to comment
Spirits Away Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 oh no, i understand. There definitely is a logic behind it. That's why i, as well as a lot of people, find it so as well. always_alone: Is that a cat with edited face?? That looked hilarious. Awesome cat. Link to comment
cichlid Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 always_alone: Is that a cat with edited face?? That looked hilarious. Awesome cat. I'm guessing so. But it would be cute if it did look like that. Scary but cute. LOL! Thx! Link to comment

I am not saying that this is the case for everyone, but when I see a pretty girl wearing glasses it just makes me wonder, "Why the hell hasn't she gotten contacts yet?" I hate the thought off having to put contacts over my eyes. It grosses me out. I just couldn't handle that; I like glasses better anyways. ...does that answer your question? Link to comment
caasiopia68 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 i personaly love glasses... get some small elegant glasses that make you look classy...silver or black... my glasses make me look better... Link to comment

Consult an optometrist. I've been having glasses for 11 years and I'm just saying what the docs told me. A quick search on the topic lead me to these articles, just a few I found. Lighting and computers can affect eyesight. link removed link removed link removed Link to comment
darkblue Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I use glasses for reading. I think it depends on the woman behind the glasses that makes them attractive. Some cases yes, it helps. Link to comment
