I used to be self conscious about glasses so much that I would wear contacts every time I knew I was going to be interacting with attractive women that day. Especially since at the start of my pickup journey, a girl told me "she'd go out with me if I wore contacts". I did get contacts and managed to fuck her. Most likely not because of contacts but because of other things she liked about me.
But later on, I started getting IOIs even when I was wearing my glasses. I was like "what the hell, this doesn't compute"
Turns out, it's really not worth stressing about. The fact that you need glasses is a part of you that you can't control, so you might as well own that shit. If a girl would tell me she doesn't want to go out with me because of my glasses, good. I'm not gonna bend over backwards for her.

I am so ugly that it doesn't matter if I wear them or not.

Then why are you asking this question?
[–]Alecz007 -5 points-4 points-3 points 3 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Because I'm looking for hope.
[–]Yarmanite 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Ugly people don't get hope
[–]Alecz007 -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
So rope or bullet to the head?
[–]Yarmanite 17 points18 points19 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Neither, stop feeling sorry for your self and change your life! You could be the ugliest mother fucker and still pull bitches. Work on the inside.

The answer is: cope
Look for other things in life besides women, dating isn't for every guy unfortunately
[–]RedditTipiak 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That's your issue there, not the glasses. 0 self-esteem = 0 game, and I say that with kindness. If you feel bad about your look, either see a therapist, or a "relooking" professional (someone who's job is to help you look good and dress smart) or talk to someone in real life about it. There is a way out, man. Good luck.
[–]001010011101 31 points32 points33 points 3 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
Yes, you should give up on dating.
[+]Alecz007 -19 points-18 points-17 points 3 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
For real?
[–]BlacBlood 10 points11 points12 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah just stop dating tbh
[–]001010011101 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
No, some girls like glasses. This is something so trivial dude, are you serious?
[–]Alecz007 -5 points-4 points-3 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I am very self conscious?
[–]T-Shirt_Nerd 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You gotta work on that bro. Love yourself and others will love you too. If you don’t even love yourself, why should other people love you?

Welcome to the club.
I personally use thick Superman glasses, I've been told i look good with them and it fits my facial structure. You can actually search Google on what type of glasses fit your facial structure. If you don't like them just use contacts.
But really, glasses is the least of your worries.
[–]revente 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No they hate them!
[–]omega05 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If you have to ask silly ass questions like this then yes. How old are you?
Agreed
[–]learnbyrepetition 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The disadvantage is not the glasses, but the insecurity they give you, that applies to mostly every external thing

He is below average though, doesn't really have a prominent jaw line and has excessive face fat
[–]Mamannn 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
dont listen to this sad sack of shit. ur average looking and could look above average if you put in the work.
[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I mean you could be right about the average looking part, the west does have an obesity problem afterall
[–]IsHeSerious88541 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You’re not ugly. But you could find better frames that would suit your face. The thick black frames aren’t suiting you well.
[–]Senior-Dot387 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Bro you’re literally an average looking dude and glasses don’t change that in the slightest. Why are you purposely putting yourself down? Lift yourself up and I promise, the women will come to you
[–]that1guysittingthere 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Basically looks like President Zelensky wearing Tai Lopez glasses
[–]Notascoutstillag 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You would look fine either way, work on your confidence.
[–]vorter 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Dude you look perfectly fine. I do think you’d look even better with contacts but it’s not what’s holding you back.
[–]Alecz007 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I want to get surgery to get rid of the glasses.
[–]RedditTipiak -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You're not ugly. Whoever bullied you into believing this was just that: a bully.
[–]Enhanced_94 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I agree with changing the frame of the glasses, but you're deff not an ugly guy.
[–]Alecz007 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
What glasses would you recommend?
[–]Enhanced_94 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Well it usually depends on the shape of one's head etc, but I would look into bigger and rounder shapes (not oval or circle, just rounder than the ones you wear now). Also, not too chunky with too many details, I would keep it clean and simple.
[–]Alecz007 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Thanks.
[–]introsetsam 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
yeah dude you’re not ugly. the frames do hide your eyebrows though, and eyebrows are nice too see. maybe a slightly thinner pair of glasses would help, but really the glasses aren’t making much of a difference. you’re pretty normal looking
[–]NamTrees 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I’m not going to lie those glasses aren’t the most flattering, I’d suggest trying out some other pairs, I’m very fond of half rim glasses / browlines but maybe there’s some other type you might prefer. Contacts could work too
[–]StevenConfident 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It doesn't matter if you have good game, but if they bother you, switch to contact lenses or even laser eye surgery.
Actually, fix whatever's bothering you physically (glasses, acne, weight, hair loss, fashion) so you both increase your SMV and, most importantly, don't make up any more excuses.
[–]TheTruth221 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
advantage since they think im smart and gentleman
[–]Johnny_Kilroy 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Glasses were a disadvantage 20 yrs ago before nerds became accepted (and to some extent even fetishised), led by the tech boom and the wealth and status conferred on its progenitors
[–]HoneydewAble3002 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
In nightgame it is a big disadvantage. Not because of looks but because of eye contact.
[–]Blackmagician 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just get contacts. Especially if you’re self conscious about the glasses you may be unconsciously projecting lower value to both yourself and others.
[–]Protocol_Apollo 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Maybe, maybe not.
The bigger issue is if you’re gonna wear them, don’t wear the dorky computer guy kind of glasses.
I wrote a few paragraphs about this in one of my posts with examples and shit. Let me know if you want me to DM it.
[–]risingavatar011 point 3 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Dm it pls.
What if you have some massive distortion in the glasses?
[–]dump_fool 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Depends on the girl - in general glasses make you look weak and you're stereotyped as a dork.
Don't wear them when you do "pick up" or get contacts if you cant distinguish a nostril from a mouth without correction.
[–]richion07 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The glasses you pick can make a big difference in your appearance. Pick the ones that suit your face shape. If you want something fashionable, try wearing Oliver People’s glasses like what Patrick Bateman wears in American Psycho. I always wear glasses at uni and contacts on nights out.
[–]karkius1231q1 point 3 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Save some money and buy some thin lenses and a cool style. I find some women with glasses to be more attractive as it gives them an edge, I’m sure there’s women who think the same.
And if it’s that big a deal get some contact lenses they’re like £30 for 30 day supply🤷🏿♂️
