Some people can look really nice in them, it just depends on the people. Don't assume that if you wear glasses you're ugly :-/.

I can't talk though really, I can't wear my glasses in public.

I think they look pretty good actually if you choose the right frame that fits your face properly..

I hate my glasses. Most people don't even know I wear them and think they're new. I'm paranoid about how I look in them so I don't wear them unless I really really cannot see. (technically speaking i'm supposed to wear them all the time :rolleyes:)

That said, my friends said I should wear them more because they think they suit me and look really nice. However I think they're saying that because they're fed up of being asked "what does that say" all the time.

:dontknow:

:p:

I personally like my glasses. :biggrin: I looked worse when i tried contacts, so i just stick to wearing my glasses!

I wear glasses, I have done my whole life and I can't get contacts because my right eye is so bad. But I don't view myself or my glasses as ugly :/ (Also, my eye does look bigger because, as I said, my right eye is so bad. But my left is nearly perfect vision so that eye looks regular). I'm used to it though - it doesn't get me down.
I always enjoy picking new frames etc.

I tried some Prada frames which I'd love to have! I don't even need them but I thought they looked good!

Some people look better wearing them.

Hmm, not sure. I don't go out in public in my glasses, ever! I'm considering investing in a really nice pair of glasses though so I'll feel more comfortable wearing them.. LEOPARD PRINT ONES OR SOMETHING. Hah. I do think some people can look great in glasses though! Maybe it's something to do with face shape.

i think my eyes look different with glasses, kinda ugly, and i was happy when i got contacts as i looked better, but still sorta ugly in some lights. but i just think glasses are absolutely hideous, and its not the specs its the way they make your eyes look. someone told me i look completely different with glasses. i ddint have super strong lenses which maDE MY EYES look big or anything, i think they made my eyes look smaller. you see yourself completely different with glasses.

now i have contacts i cant bear wearing specs and feel so self conscious in glasses.

who agrees, glasses are fugly??

its not even about having nice shaped frames, its just the glasses which makes you look horrid.

no way, i love glasses! i don't really need them but sometimes wear mine as they make me look smart and sophisticated... na i def like them.. depends which kind and on who i guess tho.. the guys in glasses ads sure do it for me tho! lol

I love men with glasses :coma: I mean nice simple metal frames not geek glasses :yucky:

i wear glasses myself but prefer contacts for nights out etc.

Reply 15

I like my glasses but then I don't wear my contacts that much anymore...

men in glasses however. :coma:

I feel exactly the same about my glasses. I think of my eyes as being my best feature and so it feels like they hide them.

I don't know if other people would agree with me though. :dontknow:

Sucks to be me, my dad's a doctor and won't let me get contacts :frown:

i hate my glasses i dont ever wear them, and my eyesights pretty bad aswell, think i might get some contacts, but they're so hard to put in :angry:

Reply 18

In some cases, yes. But in other cases, they can make you look better.

There is one girl I know who is stunning and I think that's partly down to her choice of glasses, otherwise she would just be a generic fairly-goodlookin girl.
