Pretty woman who wear ugly framed glasses

SeaMaiden — Sun, 28 Feb 2016 18:02:02 GMT

I have noticed many woman who news broadcasters or sports broadcasters wear unattractive glasses. Is the idea to hide their pretty so they become more believable to the audience? Why not just hire unattractive women to start with rather than try to make a pretty lady nerdy and unattractive? It seems to defeat the whole purpose of looking at a pretty lady to put her behind ugly glasses.

I could be wrong, but aren't those big, nerdy glasses "in" now. That's the style I keep seeing around.

Like beauty, ugly is in the eye of the beholder.

I doubt that their employers choose and buy their glasses.

I love big glasses, they are a more youthful look. I don't like anything that looks like a man's glasses on a woman, however.

OP: What frames do you consider to be "non-ugly"?

I personally do not find "framed" glasses unattractive on pretty woman.

I don't get it either. Everyone knows that being pretty is way better than trying to look smart (I mean doesn't smart fall far behind being pretty?), and what's this "being able to see" stuff all about when one's beauty is in question?

I am waiting for the day when these beautiful women on tv news and sports shows just start wearing thong bathing suits and get over all this "smart" stuff.

Hipster glasses do not look good on anyone but the youth. Those black rimmed glasses look awful.

I dislike when I see people around me with the glare glasses-- so the light reflects back into your face when you talk to them. Another look I dislike is glasses that are too large for one's face-- think the 1980's and those style glasses. Sort of like aviator glasses on steroids.

I have yet to encounter a woman (or a man) that intentionally dons something THEY think is ugly or even worthy of criticism.

Re-reading the OP I guess it would okay if an "unattractive" woman wore "ugly" glasses but the same "unattractive" woman would be called out if she wore "pretty" glasses.

Is here no end?

@KingstonsMom

I think it's just a sign of the times ... political and otherwise. Have you seen the dresses the news readers are wearing these days ... plunging necklines, skirts up to wazoo. Now they must not wear "ugly" frames.

Oh lordy ...

I'd much rather see someone's so-called "ugly" eyeglasses than keep seeing someone's consistently ugly posts.

Did somebody get dropped on their pretty little head when they were a child, or is it April Fool's Day already?

I'm always happy to see women in glasses. It's a pet peeve of mine that we don't see more women on TV in glasses (like a huge percentage of women in real life).

"Ugly" being a subjective term, I am wondering the same thing.
