CrystalFairy, who taught you to feel that way?
Seriously, you would not be less attractive if you wore glasses.

Speaking as a man who wore glasses for most of his life, I can say confidently that glasses are a weakness, and weakness is not an attractive trait in either gender. I got LASIK surgery a few years ago, and haven't looked back since (but if I did, it would be with much better vision).
Having reading glasses is a bit better, since it means you can function in the outside world with no real loss. However, also speaking as a man who has read for even longer than he's worn glasses, I have to say that it would be a pain to have to keep a pair around just for reading (the glasses I wore were good for near- and far-vision, so I only needed the one pair).

As far as the look of glasses go... I've only seen a handful of women on whom glasses look better than without - but with them on they were extremely cute. I'm not one of those people who thinks glasses makes people look "smarter", but I will admit they can work for a certain few people.

And I can say confidently that I disagree.

Because... you also wore glasses for most of your life, and know how it feels to depend on them to see further than two feet in front of you? Because without them, you couldn't enjoy ANY of your favorite pastimes? Because people took one look at your glasses - not at you, but at your glasses - and came to snap judgments about what to expect from you? (Some of those expectations were even valid, but still.) Because you know what it's like to misplace your glasses, and panic in your heart until you find them, because you couldn't go outside without literally being guided by the arm? Because you also know how liberating it is to NOT depend on them now, and that your quality of life has been improved without the NEED for them?

And I can say confidently that I agree with you, Dodo David.

Hmm.. I'm losing my eyesight slowly..
... for example I used to be able too see the difference between.. a guy with long hair across the street.. from a woman with long hair across the street...not. so much anymore...
. now I think to myself..hmm... She has potential.... that is until they get at least eight feet away from me..
..... and then I have to say to myself dude.. good thing you didn't .. whistle its a dude....lol.... I had reading glasses but milo.. ate them...
... but now I need glasses.... so I can see things far away.... that is if four or five feet is far away..lol.... but I MUST SAY without glasses it does make my days. . VERY INTERESTING..LOL

I reference all non-glasses-wearers to Mister Magoo.
You think it's hilarious until you have to live it yourself.

Imagine sitting by the pool.
A pretty, bikini clad beauty sitting across the pool.
You smile..maybe wink.
Then buddy next to you says,
""Relax stud. She's about 14 years old".

unfortunately even with glasses on these days... some 14 years olds..
.. look much to mature....

.... oh and I think I just crossed into the pedophile creepy zone..lol... .

... I can't even read the McDonalds menu anymore.... seriously...
.. I have to keep a magnifying glass in my kitchen..... so I could read the instructions on the back of the gravy packet... how it is that I'm still allowed to drive.... well during the day I'm OK at night it gets a little sketchy...lol..jk..not..

Yeah... I think the fourteen-year-old wearing a revealing bikini outfit can share PART of the blame.... mostly because I've made a mistake very similar to that one, myself... *cough*
You can't see something that's not there to be seen - or if you don't have your glasses, you still may not see it.

I've needed glasses since having high fever from measles at age 12.
I've never felt judged because of them.
Many of my pastimes can be enjoyed with them on or off.
I've never felt held back or handicapped, in any way.
I seldom misplace them. And never panic.
Identify, Adapt, Overcome.
But I'm a hard headed s.o.b.

Mount a pair of 1000 watt halogen floodlights on your truck.
You might cause other people to have accidents,
but you'll have no problem seeing where you're going.

I hate my glasses but I like how I look in them. I hate when I'm just walking and my lenses fall out. I hate how they slide off my face. I love the freedom of contacts but I hate how i look without my glasses. Also I have better vision with my glasses than I do with my contacts. Yeah....I'm that blind!

I have worn both glasses and contacts. I have very bad eyesight without them. its a needful thing, cant live without them, sorry to say. been wearing them since I been 9 yrs old.

Measles at 12... that sux... I never had measles, nor did I get a shot for it.. I'm never too keen on outbreaks of it

Had that prob with contacts too... the strength I needed couldn't be done with contacts, so it was either too much or not enough. Too strong gave me a headache..

me too.

Still haven't found them... Anything interesting happen?

You have no idea!! Get your hot danged glasses!

Oh sorry, you can't read that now, can ya?

YOU HAVE NO IDEA!! GET YOUR HOT DANGED GLASSES!

HOPE THAT HELPS
