Ever notice how over the past few years, a trend of people wearing bad eyeglasses has emerged?
Yes, the glasses some people wore in the 70's and 80's were pretty bad, but looking back at them, they had an innocent quality.
Nowadays, glasses are seemingly created to imply social status.
A lot of people wear bad glasses that make them look superficial and just plain awful.

I mean, look at her.  She just screams ICE QUEEN!
And it's the glasses that do it.
Take away those glasses and she'd be kinda hot. (and seem more approachable)

Or how about men who wear bad glasses?
They're the worst.

Anyway, if you wear glasses that look like these, they make you look like a huge douchebag.   :tongueout:
I cannot stand that style of eyeglasses.

So, do you wear glasses?
Are they bad glasses?

As I get older, all the printing on stuff gets smaller and smaller - jerks!  Anyhow, I had to get a pair of reading glasses.  I tried to choose some innocuous looking wire rimmed rectangular things.  I have noticed a lot of really hideous looking glasses on people lately.  Of course, it's also "in style" for young girls to have a plumber's crack hanging out every time they bend over.  I dunno, I just walk around shaking my head a lot and...then I go home.

I've been wearing glasses since I was about eleven, so they're not bad really.

No glasses for me but in the last year I have had to start using those 1.5X magnifying glasses for reading small print, you know those $1.99 specials.

yeah why would people want to wear something fashionable?  who wants to be annoyed by having girls talk to them.  and who wants that icky coffee stuff we you can drink sodi pop

I wear glasses and need some new ones. The problem is, most places I go have frames so ugly that I would rather not get them. So getting frames that aren't butt ugly might not be possible right now.

I wear them to drive...mostly at night.  Mine are kind of standard, nothing fancy.

I've been wearing glasses since I was seven...for those keeping track at home, that means I've been wearing them for precisely two-thirds of my life. 

I wore wire-frame for many years, though around the time I entered college I switched to the black plastic frames.  They're certainly "trendy," but I also feel like they have a geekiness to them, which I appreciate. 

I've never actually needed to wear glasses having always had good eyesight. However, I actually fing women in glasses very attractive. They seem to add an extra  degree of warmth to the female face.

No. I have perfect eyesight. I can see through walls.  :teddyr:

Your glasses look just fine.
They seem to fit your face.  (figuratively and literally)

I have terrible vision.  I am near sighted.  I wore glasses from the time I was in fourth grade until I was in my early 20s.  Then I switched to contact lenses.  About 7 years ago, my eye doctor told me I would soon find it difficult to focus on things that were close to me as well as far away.  Within a year of him telling me that, it started happening.  I've been to about 3 different eye doctors since then and they keep giving me prescriptions for contact lenses and telling me my vision is "almost 20/20" when I wear my contacts.  That's a load of crap.  About a year ago, I bought those generic reading glasses they have in supermarkets and pharmacies and I wear them over my contacts when I need to read anything.  I think I need bi-focals.  I used to be just a plain bastard.  Now I'm becoming an old bastard.

Cool, can you control it, or if you walk into a public restroom, are you forced to see that fat guy taking a dump from through the stall door? What about looking at women: Can you look just through their shirt and not their skin, or do their boobies just look like a bunch of glands and veins and stuff?

Mostly glands and veins.... :teddyr:

I'm a LASIK survivor.  I'm thrilled to be free of glasses, which I was constantly misplacing, cleaning, repairing, or replacing.  It was probably a good financial deal too, if I don't have to buy glasses for the rest of my life or visit the optometrist yearly.

Personally I like the geeky glasses. I think they can really add something to a person's face. Prime example, the girl from Not Another Teen Movie looked much better when she was wearing her glasses (even though she was supposed to be "hot" when she took them off). Then again, I'm more likely to talk to a girl if she's bespectacled.

Mostly what matters is that the glasses fit the person's face. Style is pretty relative, but if the glasses don't match the shape of the head, they'll look silly no matter what they look like.

The reason I don't wear thick-rimmed glasses is because they really do a number on your peripheral vision. I've got pretty thin-rimmed glasses now, and every time I put them on it's like I'm wearing one of those Big Daddy costumes (not really). I've contemplated getting contacts for that sole reason.

Yes, bifocals. Both the light and dark glasses. Actually, I'm wearing 'em, while I type this. New ones, because when I went to DMV to get my license renewed, they wouldn't renew it, till I got new glasses. Of course, it's been years since I've had new glasses made.

Sorry if I offended anybody here.
I didn't mean to insult you if you wear glasses.  Heck, I'm supposed to wear them but don't.  (perfect vision in my left eye...not so great in my right)
A huge portion of the regulars here wear them and that never ocurred to me until after I wrote this thread.

I just don't like that particular style of glasses and they seem to be EVERYWHERE!
Everywhere I look, I see someone wearing that style and it just irks me for some reason.
Probably because it makes them look like pompous jerks. (even though they might be a really nice person)

So again, I apologize if I offended anyone.

Dunno about that, I DO know that trend of late is to make the frame size smaller and smaller.  I dunno if that's simply an aesthetic choice or if there's larger reason behind it, (or maybe small lenses are considered better, I dunno.) 

But yeah, I've worn glasses since I was about in third grade or so.  My vision is so poor that glass don't completely clear things up for me (then again, maybe part of it is this crappy CRT monitor I have...)  The only contacts I could wear are hard contacts, and, last I tried them, they felt having silvers of glass in my eyes. 

Plus, since I've had cornia transplants, I'm not a candidate for laser surgery.  So, hopefully they invent contacts you can put INSIDE the eyes, that or perfect whole eye transplants or something...

Although I have heard they've got this new contact lenses that's soft on the edges but hard in the center...

But since I can't afford any of them right now it's all moot point anyway...
