I have been wearing glasses since I was twenty one years old because as it turned out, I had been short sighted for most of my life and I didn’t know it until I tried a friend’s glasses on and could not believe what I could see!
I wear glasses most of the time now. I have contact lenses too but I quite like my glasses too and have many different pairs of many colours and shapes.
My husband thinks they look sexy. Do you think women look sexy in glasses or is my husband just being kind?

(LOL) You're probably right! It depends on who is wearing the glasses, I must agree with you! Thanks for responding hobegao!

depends on the glasses and the gal...
There's the old rhyme about "Boys don't make passes at lasses with glasses" but I always figured that had to do with the fact that the ones who wore glasses weren't afraid to show off their brains...
I've been in glasses since 7th grade - 11 or 12, didn't your parents take you to the eye doc? I never could see the black (or green in my case) board so we knew there was something going on.
Now I can't see up close either, ahh, the joys of age... NOT!

My parents are a little 'different' they were told when I was at school that I could not see properly but their attitude was, "Not our daughter, our daughter doesn't need glasses!" total denial! I find that now that my eyesight has deteriorated with age, to read or write I need to actually remove my glasses! Thanks Elic!

I think sexy has a new word and that is with glasses too!
I can imagine say Julia Roberts with glasses, wow...she will still look as gorgeous. It's actually how a person carry it off including her personality. It can sometimes be cool to see different styles of glasses. Are yours tinted or just the normal glassy kind.. ?

Mine are not tinted because I use prescription sunglasses as well. Looking sexy is a whole package, I think and a little more than just glasses is needed! Thanks for being here zed![]

Hi paula, I don't think I'd use sexy, but some girls/ladies look more attractive with glasses. Anyway, that's my opinion for what it's worth.

I appreciate your opinion mipen. I like wearing my glasses but never thought of them as sexy until my husband made the comment. I think they can look classy or sophisticated, not so sure about sexy...Thanks for stopping by, appreciate it!

it actually depends on how the woman carry themselves with the glasses on and if they know what type of glasses they should get that will compliment their facial attribuites. glasses varies in different size shapes and colors and so does a womans face, if you have the correct type of eye glasses that makes your face show or emphasises the good angles of your face features then you surely will look smart and sexy. and it also depend on how you carry yourself when you wear them. if you are confident with yourself and knows that your glasses are actually boosting your face best features you will certainly look sexy. maybe this is how your husband saw you which is why he does find you sexy.

I think my husband was being nice and I would like to think that he finds me sexy with or without glasses! (LOL) You are right choosing the right glasses is important. I usually take ages to find the right ones, thanks for the great response mesuaky!

IF a woman is beautiful.... glasses does add sexiness to her. see the thing is when you are wearing glasses... the glasses enhance your beauty. People notice your face and the charm of it. but if a woman is ugly then it adds ugliness to the face as people notice how ugly she is. Glasses are like the beauty mark in sexiness terms..

That's an interesting take...I guess it depends on the woman who is wearing the glasses! Thanks for responding harshrosichy!

I have glasses too and I do think that I have certain pairs that change my look considerably. People tell me I look different but not sexy. I think that it's nice that your husband tells you you're sexy, my husband never tells me anything positive anymore.

That's a shame doglady112! Have you discussed how you feel with him? He probably doesn't like to talk; my husband, believe it or not, is not the greatest communicator either, sometimes trying to have a conversation with him is like pulling teeth; it's a male thing, I guess. If he knew that he is hurting your feelings he may think again..Good luck to you dear, I hope things improve for you and your husband...

That's a shame...You should say nice things to him and he may reciprocate; it's easy to take each other for granted when you've been together a while...I'm not sure glasses look sexy, although I like wearing mine... Thanks for responding doflady112!

I do tell him all the time how great he looks in his suit. Especially now that he's unemployed and trying to get work, but it's pretty much like I don't exist in our marriage. I've also been very supportive in his finding a job but he's not recipricating. I need help and he's not helping me at all. I tell him all the time not to worry but I know he's worried. I know he's very scared right now and I'm doing the best I can to make his life easier. All he does is make things harder on me.

Thanks Ted_123! Just as well he likes them because I have to wear them because contacts irritate my eyes if I have them in too long so it's either glasses or bloodshot eyes! I appreciate the response!

wearing glasses is not about wearing to please the guys or certain people, its all about being able to see clearly which is the most important thing.

I think girls are more appealing if they wear glasses. I think most people think that girls who wear glasses are sexy because they look more innocent :D

I think it depends on how the glasses look on a female and it depends on preference/likings from the "beholder". I wear glasses (and contacts), myself, but I would think it makes a female look smarter.

Yes, it is a matter of taste. I like wearing glasses and I think they add class, not so sure about sexiness! Thanks for the response TexasTee38!

I think that for many, "sexiness" is rooted in uniqueness, the out-of-ordinary view. I think that glasses may sometimes add to a woman's appeal because
1. it gives that "librarian effect" lol. every guy wants that great mix of looks and smarts, and if the lady already has a great looking body (one that attracts the guy in question that is), it will be appealing because smart and sexy is not an all too common combination:)!its just sad that wearing glasses is not a measure of intelligence!:)
but us guys will continue liking it

Hiya paula,
All women are beautiful with or without glasses woohoo for you.
I really don´t care anymore about having to wear glasses even if I only wear them in the House.
How I wish all people would think like that.

well some people look sexy in glasses and some do not, for instance, I'm someone who looks a lot better without glasses therefore I tend to wear contact lenses. I think glasses look better on those people who have an oval-shaped face instead of a round face.
I wish I'd look sexier with glasses because I like them a lot :)

You might if you find the right ones; it takes me a really long time to find the right shape that suit my face and a lot of patience is required but I'm happy in the end. Thanks for responding nagikka!

the funny fact is that anytime I buy a new pair of glasses I'm always thinking they look perfect on me and that I'll be starting to wear glasses a lot more than lenses. Then at some point, afte a year or so, I start to think I look awful with the same pair of glasses that used to look sooo good on me lol the ones I am wearing now used to look perfect on me when I had dyed my hair black and now that Im back to black again, I look terrible and only use them at home (also because my sight got worse over the yeas and now I'm missing a good -5.50 in each eye lol). Oh well, I just wish they wouldn't cost SOOOO much ;_;

i have no glasses. but i'm wanting a pair of good sun glasses now.
maybe it depends on the person who wears the glasses, and aslo depends on who gives the opinions.
but to me, i dont think it's sexy, because it's just so common in society, so many people with all kinds of glasses in the street.

I started wearing specs (a friend of mine calls them "spectaculars" -- he's such a cute little old man) when I was about 20, but started really NEEDING to wear them at about 26 or so, and I'll tell you girlfriend, when I started wearing them all the time, I could've been so busy, if you know what I mean, if I wanted to. There's a couple of pics of me in specs on my photo page if you're interested. I think I look kinda like a librarian:) Personally, I think specs can make both guys and girls look hawt. Have you ever been asked to ... ahem ... wear them for the event?:D I ain't tellin, myself...
