Turns out I'm nearsighted, I want to know whether I should go with glasses or contacts.

I'm a guy fwiw.

Depends on the area, but in most major cities I'd say no. Hell, looking geeky is "fashionable" now. I even see people wearing glasses with no power just to have them on.

Chicks with glasses are way hotter than without, by and large.

In all my years of dating I only had one guy tell me he wouldn't date a girl with glasses. He said it was because if they were to get married, their children might be nearsighted. LOL!

Well, who am I to judge him, I suppose...we all have our non-negotiables.

Other than that one man, I have NEVER had a guy turn me away because of my glasses. At least as far as I know. I never lacked for dates.

I love my glasses. They're totally cute.

When I wear my glasses I get a lot more attention. It's that naughty librarian thing, I think.

I'm ok with glasses on a guy if he wears the right frames for his face. After a while I don't even notice a person's glasses. It just becomes part of who they are.

As my Oma says, guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses

I do wear glasses and can't wear contacts because one of my eyeballs is shaped too weird. I don't necessarily require them for everyday use but wearing them makes life so much easier.

I think guys that wear glasses are super cute...especially if they're hipster or Buddy Holly style glasses. It's one trend I hope never dies...so sue me

Well you are a guy so I have no idea, I'm straight and don't need glasses but my gf wears glasses and I love them on her. She said she is thinking of getting contacts and I'm not a fan just because I like the way glasses look on her.
