Preference

Women do seem to have a preference for men without glasses. Women, rightly or wrongly may view men with glasses as weaker, like they may have other physical ailments. The old stereotype of men who have glasses being smarter has largely gone out of the window. If you find yourself in a college setting, then many women are automatically going to assume you are fairly intelligent, whether you are wearing glasses or contacts.

Stats

A lot of the stats out there are on the subject may deal with self confidence. A sociological study may say that 36% of men with eye glasses lack self confidence because of the eye glasses. The truth of the matter may be that women are often just looking for men with confidence, when wearing glasses just do it with swagger. There are character traits that many women would put ahead of physical appearance.

-Compassion

-Solid decision-making

-Cleanliness

-Chivalry

Importance

This isn’t to say that eye glasses aren’t important in the equation. Eye doctors understand the importance of physical attraction in the world, they also understand that it is a part of their business. The eye doctors out there want to make sure that the different glasses, with all the different frames and styles out there, do appeal to young people that happen to be in love. Most studies will say that 80 to 90% of eye wear manufacturers understand the fact that their products have to be appealing to a younger generation.

Distracting

Some women may find the eye glasses to be quite distracting when they are trying to have a conversation. If a woman can carry on a conversation with a man who has eye glasses, she very well may be interested in exploring a relationship. Eye glasses are something that you need to be physically comfortable with if you are a dude, women may not be interested in a dude that squints too much.
