Do I look better without glasses?

Post Reply New Topic

I am calling for the members of WP (preferably the female ones) to help me decide if I should get contacts or not.

I've been seriously considering contact lenses for a while, but I always get mixed reviews on which would look better.

I'm male but you look alot better in the photo with no glasses.

WITHOUT hands down

Without glasses is more attractive. However, if you're dealing with a power figure, maybe put the glasses on. They give you oomph, in a power sort of way. (can i buy a noun?)

I like the glasses. . . hands down also. Very hands down. It's a worse picture, true, but blurryness should not interfere in real life. Also, you're cute.

I find they get in the way, though, for me, and if you have that problem you might want to go with contacts anyway. . .

It depends on what look you are going for... but I'd say generally without glasses is better.

I am a guy... and I usually like girls with glasses.

I am not too well versed in what looks good on guys... but I think I look better without glasses. I don't have the gumption to deal with contacts. So I got some rimless ones... close enough.

I think you look sophisticated with glasses. Those frames work pretty well on you, too.
I wear glasses, but it's kind of a trade-off between convenience and ability to use a camera easily. Also, if you intend to ever date a girl with glasses, there is the clink issue with kissing.
I have contacts, but I almost never wear them because it feels like they bend the light wrong. It's probably just me...
Have you heard of Ortho-K lenses?

To me, you look good with and without.
With glasses, you look more intelligent, without, you look maybe more casual, not sure how to word it.

With is far superior in my eyes, makes you look like Gaius Baltar.

You look better without, but I think that's just because those frames don't suit you.

unbutton your shirt

I hate the collars of shirts being buttoned up (unless you are wearing a tie, and then I hate the collar being undone).

oh, yeah .... the picture without glasses is better.

button done up


button undone

I like better without,
but I actually really
dislike what those
frames do to your
face. They seem too
wide.

Yes, they are too big for your face, and the silver colour doesn't suit your skin tone.

I wear contact when I'm out. I'm just not confident in glasses. Not that I'd get called four eyes anymore but still. But I'm starting to believe my frames are alright on me.

You do need to get the right frames. I would say slightly more rounded on the corners but not oval and less wide. You are in the right ball park with the style you've got.

If you’re at home wearing glasses is so much better on you eyes. So you need both. Sitting in front of a monitor will dry you eyes out make them tired, just wearing contacts.

If you want a GF, keep the glasses.
Hanging out with friends, put them away.
Girls like a guy with glasses.

I wear glasses some of the time just for reading; Contacts give me a headache.
Get new glasses that are frameless or dark-framed, they suit you better.
