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.

Depends on who you want to visually appeal to. Some types of people will prefer the glasses, some will not. What kind of person do you want to like the way you look?

Don't do it!
You da man with the glasses :wink:
Besides you have a really cool pair too with the square rimless thing going, that is awesome.
No one really looks down on glasses I don't think anyways, I think you really do look better with them.

I voted for without. Maybe if you had different glasses, it'd be better than without.

I used to wear glasses but I got fed up with them and honestly think I look better without so I got lasered. (Can't use contacts)

I like you better with glasses. Those frames are too big and too rectangular though; get a different pair.

Yes, the glasses are too big for your face and i think rounder ones would suit you better.
There are articles on what frames ( shape, colour, etc) suit whatever shape of face best.

With glasses, but different frames :)

I really like glasses on guys. In fact some actors on TV shows have worn glasses as their character, and when I saw them without the glasses I found their appearance a lot less appealing.

I think the decision to wear glasses or contacts should based on whether *you* look good in them, rather than what a prospective date does.

I will keep my glasses, because I drive a lot, and I don't want contacts falling out while I am behind the wheel--and causing an accident.

I wish I didn't have to wear either, so I could enjoy rollercoasters again. :lol:

Its best not to wear glasses.

Most girls don't like guys who wear glasses.

i thought the frames worked with your eyebrows at any rate..... least keep the frames with the long and flat top to them as they fit your brows really well

Absolutely, you look better without glasses. The vast majority of people do, and besides, those frames don't flatter your face. You're a good looking guy, and glasses just distract from that.
You know the saying by author Dorothy Parker:
"Girls don't make passes at boys who wear glasses." :P

Better with glasses. Glasses show more intelligence. Contacts are expensive and are so fake.

Why are contacts fake and glasses real? What is it about glasses that make them more real than contacts? It's all perception.

And what about lasik eye surgery to get 20/20 vision? Is that fake?

In my expert :P opinion , if you have OK to good bone structure, don't hide it. If you need to add character to your face (like if you look like Humpty Dumpty), then a cool pair of glasses will do the trick.

Wanting to be more attractive is not necessarily an evil thing.

I agree. I wear contacts, but not just for looks.
Actually, without my beard, but with long hair,
I prefer how I look with glasses. But, I still wear
my contacts. Glasses hurt. They are annoying.

I'd rather be comfortable.
