"You look so pretty without your glasses!" is not actually as big a compliment as people seem to think, amirite?

I get that a lot.

Glasses are getting sexier as they get less common, though xD so don't sweat it, especially if you're still in grade school. The values most people have their don't translate into adult life, for the most part. =)

I especially hate it when people tell me that I look better with my glasses on.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

why?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Maybe it's just the way that people say it, but the first time I wore contacts to school all my friends told me that I looked better with my glasses, but they also said that I looked weird without my glasses like your comment below

by Anonymous 14 years ago

oh... I might be the only person on the planet who does, but I actually like my glasses.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yeah I like mine too. With glasses, you can just take them on and off but with contacts, you have to go to the bathroom, wash them all the time, and replace them all the time. Plus I look better in glasses because I've been wearing them since I was 5 so it'd be weird to go without them, and I feel like they're part of my identity. I'll have to admit, they do get in the way sometimes, but more not than so. Plus they're good for tucking my hair behind my ears because they hold it in place, and I can't stand flailing hair in my face all the time

Did you ever go through a "I want contacts!" stage? I did...glad that's over lol

by Anonymous 14 years ago

not really, no. but I did have the 'I want special goggles and sunglasses' stage.

Yeah me too, but I've settled with transitions. They're cool for the most part

by Anonymous 14 years ago

transitions? sorry, it's just that almost all the optical vocabulary I know is in Finnish... I get confused sometimes.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

It's ok. They're lenses that get dark as sunglasses whenever they come in contact with UV rays from the sun Here's a link if you'd like a better description: http://us.transitions.com/aboutlenses/howwork.htm

oh those :D I wanted them, but apparently they're not convenient...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Well, they are a little expensive, and it's hard to see right after you walk inside from a sunny day. Those are the only downsides. It beats having to change out contacts all the time, I'll say

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I bet it does... I have 'special' sunglasses xD

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Are they prescription sunglasses?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

yes, exactly :D like I said, the vocab escapes me sometimes.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

i like my glasses. but i broke them and i have to pay for them myself.(my sister and i got into a fight and my glasses end up broken) so i have to wait to get new ones so i haven't had my glasses for a while now and it feels like a part of me is missing.

Poor you :( I know how you feel, I lost mine in the ocean last month... and they were my favourite frames yet. oh, well...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

yeah it just feels kind of really weird

by Anonymous 14 years ago

mhm... how strong are your glasses?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

not that strong i just have a slight astigmatism in both eyes.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

which is..? sorry, like O explained to oldskoolchick earlier I only known optological (?) vocab in Finnish.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

oh it just means my eyes are a little misshapen they've got a bit of a point to them which makes it a little harder for me to see.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

okay then :) I'm just straight up myopic, -7.5 in both eyes...

I usually get "You look weird without your glasses." so...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

You're not, Lucius xD I love my glasses.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

yay :) I've had mine for over half my life, so I suppose that explains it...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Ahaha im the opposite. I wear contacts so much that when i wear glasses i get "whoa. You look weird with glasses."

by Anonymous 14 years ago

People usually say this to make me feel better when I rarely wear my contacts. In reality I look much better with my glasses on

by Anonymous 14 years ago

ah, me too :D

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Not wearing my glasses makes me feel naked... It's a comfort thing :)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I hate that. It's a backhanded compliment. Sort of along the same lines as, "Oh, you have 7 cats? It only smells like you have 4!"

by Anonymous 14 years ago

People say this to me all the time, but I love my glasses. <3333 (Plus, I have a habit of staying up really, really late at night, and they hide my bags. ;D)

by Anonymous 14 years ago
