do you think glasses are attractive?

[xSuperMario64x]

*totally random question time!*

do you think that people look more attractive when they're wearing glasses? I know it can differ from person to person, but I'm asking generally.

I personally think that glasses are attractive. I much prefer the way I look with my glasses on than without, that's why I've never bothered getting contacts. my mom, however, thinks that many people look better without glasses on, so we're like on two different wavelengths.

I don't. I don't consider them a turn off, mind, but I don't feel they add anything.

I am a glasses wearer, for context. I started wearing glasses around the year 2000 and contacts in 2008 and never looked back. I've been complimented on my glasses though - my partner really likes how they look even if I don't.

i feel indifferently. i don't think they make anyone look more or less attractive, and that's coming from a glasses-wearer. technically. i first received glasses when i was around 14 or just 15 when i noticed the whiteboard at school was blurry, and i was really excited to get them. (don't know why.) back then, i thought they made me look prettier. when the pandemic hit, i stopped wearing them because my mask would fog them up and my eyesight isn't so bad that i need them to see. i need better lenses now anyway, but i've been avoiding the optician's because i don't want to have the air-puff-in-the-eye test lmao. which is all just to say that now that i haven't worn them for an extended period of time, i think i look prettier with them off, but i also haven't recently tried them on again to see how i look, so.

I try not to look at appearance, really. I don’t need glasses because I was blessed with good eyesight, but they look okay on most people. I think it depends on the face-shape. I did come to the conclusion that most females that I find attractive do wear glasses, but I think personality is more important.

In terms of attractiveness, or whether or not glasses look good, I’d say it depends. I think glasses can look terrible, on the same person they can look good on. It ultimately depends on the type of and the shape of their face. I think getting glasses that fit your face is super important here.

I think it does, just not for everyone. I think I look better without glasses personally, but I don't like contacts so I stick with them. If you were to ask me if I prefer girls with or without glasses, I'd be more inclined to say without glasses. Though, it's not a big turn off for me if they have them (unless they wear a really bad pair).

i have definitely said before and will say again, i find glasses (on the whole) quite attractive on most people. i need glasses for seeing distance but am undecided whether i think glasses make *me* more attractive since usually i'm comparing my appearance from a distance so.. my glasses make me see more details i wouldn't normally

For the most part, I would say I'm indifferent. I had to get glasses around age 7 or 8 and switched to contacts as a teenager because I thought I looked better without them. As an adult, I've switched back to glasses because contacts started irritating my eyes. Now, I don't think I look any better or worse either way. It could have just been the peer pressure and teasing that made me feel that way when I was younger.

I have seen some people who look better in glasses and a very few who look worse, but I think that comes down to their choice in frames. If they have a pair of glasses that really enhances their good features, it can make them slightly more attractive and vice versa. That's one reason I always like to have an objective third party with me when choosing new frames (not the sales person), because I can't see a thing without my prescription.

 

[.: Meri :.]

I'm ace-spec and only rarely experience attraction, so it wouldn't really make a difference in attractiveness to me on most people, but otherwise I would say yes, definitely! Speaking in a more general aesthetic sense, I think (most) glasses look really great. I've never really even considered contacts because I've been really happy with my glasses on myself ever since I first had to start wearing them.

 

[kayleee]

I don’t think they make people more attractive, but I don’t think they make people look less attractive either. I don’t even think about it to be honest lol

 

[Midoriya]

I think it depends on the person wearing them and the type of glasses.

 

[Plume]

I think I look better with glasses, but maybe that's because it is what I'm used to seeing. Otherwise, I don't really think about it.

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

I do! I don't need them because I have good vision, but sometimes I wish I did. I like glasses in general, but the closest thing I have is my AC characters wearing glasses. I had gotten so used to them that they look weird without them, haha.

 

[Neurotiker]

Yes I'm a firm believer of glasses being able to make everyone look at least 3x better, people just need to figure out the type of frame and a color that compliments their face shape and palette best. I wish I had glasses, I need them because I'm shortsighted but like... they can get kinda expensive and goddamn annoying to wear

 

[sleepydreepy]

No I personally don't find myself more attractive to someone just because of their glasses. In fact its usually a turn off, but there have been exceptions of course! I really think the more you get to know someone the more attractive they become to you

This thread reminded me of when Avril started wearing glasses more often.

Side note: She's actually one of the best live singers out there...almost always sounds like her album versions, and some of her stuff can be insanely difficult.

 

[chicken soup]

I think glasses are attractive on some people. If they have glasses and i've never seen them without glasses I dont know if theyre more attractive without them. It just varies from person to person.

I think glasses make most people look better. They can really accentuate a person’s features. I don’t think I look good in glasses though. My pair just makes my face look rounder and puffier than it is.

 

[Snek]

Glasses are just tools that correct a person's vision. I don't really see the appeal of people using them as accessories. The only glasses that I find acceptable as accessories are sunglasses. I wear contacts because glasses don't offer the 360° clear vision that I want. It also relaxes me kniwing I can touch parts of my face without bumping into glasses. I have both and I choose to always wear the contacts, but I keep a pair of glasses around the house in case I might lose a contact or both contacts. I don't find people that wear glasses to be attractive. My husband wears glasses and I find him more attractive when he takes them off.

 

[dizzy bone]

I don't like glasses on myself but I don't mind it on others. I don't think they make someone more or less attractive, but I'm usually pleasantly surprised when someone I know wears their glasses when they usually don't. The style and fit really makes a difference, but my thinking is never "wow you're so much hotter with glasses" it's usually just "oh you also wear glasses! me too!"

Before the pandemic, I would say I wore my glasses for the majority of the week and contact lenses for the rest. But in the early months of the pandemic I got really grossed out about touching my eyeballs so I stopped wearing contacts entirely during that time. I definitely prefer the way I look without them though, so now 2 years in, I gave up and wear contacts every day (glasses at home)... the main reason is because I hate the way my glasses fog up with masks.

If the person who are wearing them actually cares to pick a pair that fits them and match with their look, sure, but I don't get people who wear it randomly when not needing it or just use ugly sunglasses for no reason.
