Some say a man who wear glasses should step to the back of the queue. I say get yourself to the front of the line and don't be ashamed to wear them.

Thoughts......

I dont usually wear mine out. I rather wear my contact lenses. But occassionally I will and I get positive feedback.

Well if the glasses are classics OK I see some of these guys with verace and other designers who like Dame Edna's brother NOT MY TYPE, SORRY.

There is one guy who wears glasses, Would do him in in Macy's 5th Ave Window on Thanksgiving Day

More men should wear them.
Been thinking about getting a pair of frames, even though I don't need them to test the waters and see how I go at getting the odd date.

I LOVE GLASSES.

Thick black dweeb-like frames are the best. Every guy with glasses should get these.

Sorry, I'm a wireframe guy. ;)

I admit my contacts are a big vanity issue, but the main reason is the function--I have no "blind" spots like with glasses. I occasional wear glasses depending on the setting.

And yes, glasses are quite ...especially when you have to slowly take them off before passionately making out...and other things ;-)

I actually prefer my glasses over my contacts. I only wear my contacts when I go to the gym or have a day outside (like a theme park trip or day out and about). My eyes dry out when I'm wearing my contacts and using a computer monitor, so that's why I wear my glasses a lot. Besides, I think I look better with my glasses.

Oh, I melt for a cute guy in glasses.

Take a friend or relative when you check out frames. Take pictures. Ask for input. The right frame for the shape of your face can make all the difference. In fact, some of the sexiest guys out there look even better with the perfect pair of glasses.

Like cjstreed, I wear them out of necessity and have found it difficult to shed a bit of vanity. My blind spots are so large now, neither the glasses nor the contacts correct them -- but do make it easier to walk around and read large print. The 'tacs usually only go in at the gym because the glasses bounce and slide around. I would never negatively judge any guy in glasses. We should all remember there are reasons for everything.

As for the dates, my bf has never said anything negative. I didn't wear them when we met.

Go Glasses!

I wear mine constantly, only wear contacts when I go out drinking (don't want to worry about breaking the glasses lol) or if I am going to a festival or something and want to wear my sunglasses (I am to cheap to get perscription sunglasses and prefer the wrap around style anyway.) I don't even register them in terms of if a guy is hot or not. More likely to care about a bad haircut or ciggarettes than glasses.

i dont know why but i actually find glasses on a guy attractive!

Raptor saidi hate wearing glasses. ...

A bit strong? I know you don't like them, but referring to the original question: are you ashamed of wearing them? Would you judge someone else who wears glasses badly? I bet you'd look pretty hot in the right frame.

I agree if you dislike wearing glasses and lasik is an option, go for it! My retinas are so fried, they won't touch me. So, I have chosen to embrace glasses even if they don't work well. (although I usually take them off for photos -- vanity!)

I wear them. I have not special affinity towards glasses they are just tools. I prefer glasses with thin or rimless frames with oval lenses. I hate the recent retro trend of wearing thick framed glasses that make people look dorky.

I don't wear contacts because I can't stand putting things close to my eyes.

In general, guys look better with glasses... just another way for us to accessorize. I find glasses much more comfortable to wear than contact lens and so I use my glasses pretty much all the time. I have a pair of thick black recular frames which I think looks good on me.

I always wanted glasses. I have never minded wearing them. I will at times not wear them for a different look. I only hate wearing them when going in and out of the sun and having to but on clips or changes glasses. Oh well such as life.

I do not need glasses, but I do find men in glasses terribly attractive... ;)

Glasses can be ...hot even, but you have to know how to wear them!

the right frame to complement your face can do wonders.

Cute guys in glasses certainly catch my attention!!

Definitely, step forward, you Clark Kent cuties!!

I had lasik done about 5 years ago, but back then I dated one guy who was majorly turned on by the fact that I wore glasses.

People, people, some of you are starting to miss the point here.

MOST OF THE TIME HE LOOKS LIKE AN ASEXUAL ELF, BUT WITH DORKY THICK-RIMMED GLASSES HE LOOKS BETTER THAN JESUS:



Something like that.

I love Clark Kent?

I think guys who wear glasses are as hell. The way they wear them and how they look as they slowly take them off to reveil another side of themselves.

So hot.

When I started going out socially, my gay friends would strongly encourage me to wear my contacts if I wanted to get noticed. It seemed like this was true... I would not usually get noticed with glasses. I rarely wore my glasses to the club during my 20s.

Nowadays, if I know I'm going to shake my behind, I usually wear my contacts but if I'm just meeting some friends out for chat or whatever light fare, I wear my glasses and don't think twice about it.
