I was waiting for video like this, we the people who wear glasses are considered as "nerds", i mean i used to take that as insult in my early teens but now i think they're just calling you "smart" without actually calling you smart

A big part of why glasses are deemed unattractive is because of the stereotypes pushed in media. In almost every film, characters with glasses are labeled as ugly, geeky, awkward, and socially inept. Growing up with messages like these play a role in what we consider attractive. I used to wear glasses for most of my life and was really insecure about it. I finally got over my fear of contacts and got a prescription a few months ago. I wear them daily now. People told me I look so much better without glasses and I agree. I personally think most people can’t pull of glasses and it hides your natural features, which is why it makes people unattractive.

Honestly I believe that ultimately the answer to this question is going to be the same answer as your hairstyle video; with beautiful people it does not matter if they wear glasses or not. Anyone who has ever been to the eye doctor knows that they always use posters of very beautiful people with great jawlines, symmetrical faces, and positive canthal tilts.

For the rest of us I completely agree with everything else you said especially when you said that glasses can help hide our negative canthal tilts and give our faces the allusion of Symmetry.

It depends on the country and culture as well. Im from an Asian country where the majority wears glasses. In fact, in Singapore, a whopping 80% of youth need glasses due to the emphasis on academics. Hence wearing glasses doesn't really detract from your attractiveness at all since almost everybody is wearing them.

Glasses used as fashion accessories usually aren’t prescription ones. Those that correct for myopia can significantly reduce facial attractiveness due to lens minimization on the eyes, making them appear smaller

When you are attractive, you can wear glasses or not, you can look a bit younger or a bit older, but you will still be attractive. Elegance, grace and an interesting personality play a much bigger role than a tiny detail about your face.

Maybe I’m wrong but I think you missed the most important thing about prescription glasses, the fact that glasses for people who don’t see in distance make their eyes look smaller under the glass is why the glasses make you look ugly 😂 the reading glasses make your eyes look bigger… but yeah literally why most people look weird with glasses on, it literally changes your most important feature… your eyes😂😂😂

One thing i wish people would consider about glasses is that the thickness of the glass can actually change how your eyes look. I had to wear glasses for more than a decade and the power was -6. My eyes would look so much smaller throwing off the balance of my facial features (they are pretty balanced). But now that i’ve got lasik and whenever try on different frames, i don’t look so unbalanced? People also find my eyes attractive, so that’s another thing. But then again glasses helped hide my dark circles and now everyone asks if i get enough sleep or not. But this was an interesting topic and a really good analysis!

Eyes and mouth are the first thing and the key of recognizing human face, we notice on human face, sometimes glasses fix or hide weakness of our natural eye appearance, thats why we wear shades and glasses most of times

I think that what really matters is how attractive you are overall, glasses can't make you a 10/10 if you are ugly but also can't make you 3/10 if you are attractive.

In US it is already becoming more socially acceptable. I know some ppl viewing are young, and if you wear glasses do look for a frame that is flattering for your face shape. There’s even more options than the standard black frame. I wear mine like any other accessory, and I haven’t had many social issues. Ultimately, it’s a blessing that we have these corrective devices today. I enjoy this information too but don’t use it to be mean to yourself, y’all.

I can't imagine my face in the outside world without my glasses, tbh. I tried contacts for a while, and I actually feel far more attractive in my frames. Besides, they're clearly not making me look any older, since every time I set foot on my campus for work, I'm still being mistaken for one of my undergrads 🤷🏽‍♂️, and people routinely think I'm at least 10 years younger than my actual age, even though I am neither a small nor short person, but I do carry some facial fat which is probably what's helping 😅

[sonkaulis]

For me glasses are kinda neat because I think my eyes are a bit too close together and glasses make my eyes appear smaller, which in turn makes my eyes appear wider set. Can’t stress enough how much a good frame that suits your face matters though.

There was a guy in my high school calculus class that wore glasses and was Chinese-American🤓 everyone thought he must be smart. The people on either side of him failed because they copied his test answers😂They learned a lesson that day.

for around 5 years or so my friends have always see me with glasses on because of my myopia. not too long ago i decided to switch to contact lenses and went to school the next with them friends were surprise but i didnt know if their reaction were positive or negative but after a week from wearing my contact lens i used my glasses again and my friends had negative reaction saying i looked better without them so. maybe fashion glasses dont have this effect since they dont affect facial proportion like the size of your eyes

I got lucky as a kid. I got glasses in 3rd grade and was scared kids would make fun of me, but instead I was greeted by compliments on my epic pink and purple glasses. Probably helped that I wasn’t the only kid in class with glasses.

[noeyedgirl]

I've found I'm more attracted to good-looking guys with glasses. I don't get the same effect with women though, oddly.
However, I do think that the frames may have something to do with it. I feel rounded lenses flatter feminine features significantly better. Round glasses are less common.

[laraoneal]

I find men who wear glasses very attractive. It looks intellectual.

THANK YOU! i have always wanted to pursue laser eye surgery because glasses are annoying, but this pushes me toward it even more! scheduling my appointment now :)

Most glasses make me look worse, but the pair I own makes me look better than going without them. I specifically chose them to fill in my Long midface, visually cut from the length of my nose, balance out my strong jawline and complement my dark hair and eyebrows
