Done right This Troper does indeed find girls with glasses incredibly hot. His last girlfriend had glasses but she didn't wear them often, and he'd tease her about her looking cuter with them on.

This troper's boyfriend says she looks better with her glasses on. (But she doesn't believe him.)

I'd have to see what you look like with and without the glasses to be sure, but your boyfriend sounds like a wise man with refined tastes, and I'm so jealous of the bastard I can barely see straight.

Without your glasses on? Sorry, I had to say it...

Hon, trust this troper, guys don't lie about these things. If you were ugly with them, he'd conspire to have them lost or destroyed. Or at least...I would....

Trust your boyfriend! Even if you do a world-wide survey and it turns out you look better without the glasses, if your boyfriends tells you that you look better with them, that's because for him, you DO look better with them.

This troper has taken off her glasses and had her guy friend say, "You just lost your hotness and smartness." Let's just say he doesn't possess the "smartness" part...

Isn't that lacking tact more than intelligence?

I go into super librarian/portable dictionary mode with the glasses, I'm BlindWithoutEm, and my teachers think I look better with them on.

This troper's ex-girlfriend/best friend is a true to death {{Meganekko}}. She's pretty much a supermodel with them off, but when she puts them on....Oh. My. GOD.

This troper, who is reasonably good-looking, finds that she looks better with glasses on. It's a good thing I'm BlindWithoutEm and only bother with contacts if glasses would be highly impractical (or if I'll need to wear sunglasses), I suppose. (Of course, considering my personality, they'd probably be ScaryShinyGlasses if I was an anime character.)

There definitely is! When I found out that my boyfriend, who I met on the Internet, wore glasses in real life, I nearly fell out of my chair.

This troper's ex girlfriend and best female friend are meganekkos, though the latter fits the personality better, whereas the former wasn't happy when this troper mentioned the trope.

Without my glasses on, I look hideous. With them on, I'm ''gorgeous!'' ^_^ Here's the thing though: I'm male.]]

I fit the stereotype. I'm shy, intelligent, and quite a few people have called me cute. I'm also a guy too.

Said thing could be said about me as well. since I'm also a guy as well.

This troper is used to people looking better with glasses... provided they are the ones who pick them. People pick ones that look good on them. That includes herself.

This Troper has had an unrequited love, who's beautiful enough. She got glasses. Good god, why must you torture me so?

This Troper feels your pain.

Are you me?

He's probably me. More like a crush, but that's because I'm restraining myself.

I may be one of the girls mentioned above. I'd like just a moment to remind you that I don't bite. You can talk to me!

This Troper got glasses at age 17, and went into school. Absolutely no one noticed, and when questioned, said "didn't you always wear glasses?" I was apparently so nerdy that for 6 years people had simply visualised glasses on me.

This troper keeps hers to one side as a secret weapon (much like Mizuno Ami). She finds they add a saucy, Katharine Hepburn-esque note to her otherwise 'innocent' face.

This troper, upon realizing that she'd never get dates by acting like a total slut-babe that is identical to the other slutbags at my school, has resorted to a different approach, which matches my disposition ten times better. The fact that she wears glasses helps tenfold with her cutesy-poo image, as I look weird and absolutely hideous without the glasses. Additionally, one girl once told me that TheGlassesGottaGo. So I bitch-slapped her.

This troper has worn glasses since the age of five. She last bought a new pair during freshman year of high school (she's a senior), and she just isn't ''herself'' without them on. Even if they do make her look a little cartoonish.

A girl I have a bit of a thing for today tried on her friend's glasses...WOW. Pity she took them off so quickly.

She did it again yesterday. *Swoon*

In a bit of an inversion, I don't look really good with my glasses on, but people have told me I look drunk or baked, or both, if I'm not wearing them.

This troper bought a pair of non=prescription glasses, just so she could have some to wear. She adores the Meganekko look, really.

This Troper too! (Highfive!)

This troper (who wears contacts) is currently playing a character in a tabletop RPG who is half a meganekko: she wears a monocle (as does this troper while playing her, to get into character).

This troper has a female classmate that looked [=OK=] before she got glasses. But after getting her glasses, she suddenly looked very cute.

Also, he just got to start reading Yankee-kun To Megane-chan specifically because of the title. And true enough, a {{Meganekko}} for a main character!

This troper found out that the girl he has a thing for also wears glasses, he almost died of happiness right there and then.

This (Male) Troper is hoping for a reaction like this when he go back to school.He just got glasses.

This Troper. Whether she fulfills the Shrinking Violet part of this trope depends on the situation. In familiar company, she prefers a somewhat different approach.

When this troper found out she needed glasses in the fall, she was ecstatic. The first pair are pretty cute, but nothing special. The other day, she bought a second pair that she refers to as her Harry Potter glasses. They actually look pretty cool.

This troper has worn glasses since she was six. She considers them part of her face now, and feels weird without them on.

Happens with anything you wear. I, @/MutantRancor, (a male, so not this trope; rather, another) have worn glasses since age four, and feel strange without them. However, to prove the point, I started wearing a hat every day a couple of months ago, and now I feel weird without it. Same with my (totally unnecessary) belt about four years ago.

This happens to other people seeing you. My best friend couldn't find my because I wasn't wearing my signiture denim-and-red hoody. Also, I've had my glasses two years. I took them off once during registration: #QUOTE#Teacher: "Where's Phe?" #QUOTE#Me: "Right here, sir." #QUOTE# Teacher: (Does Double) Take "Oh, yes there you are."

This (male) troper kinda dislikes having good vision because he wants to wear glasses. So instead, he wears glasses without lenses, a carry-over from a recent {{cosplay}}. However, instead of making him look more attractive to his friends, they end up asking him what's the point of wearing lensless glasses.

Same with this troper, having a pair from a play he did, but the person who got them for me removed the fake lenses (a girl who, by the way, no one likes).Fortunatly, no one notices the lack of lenses until I purposely stick my finger through them. I stopped wearing them after my mom yelled at my for wearing the glasses (and I also stepped on them by accident).

After years of trying to get her (hot) short-sighted girlfriend to ditch contact lenses in favor of glasses (which make her look even hotter but she only wears at home), this troper feels guilty because she feels kind of sad about her finally getting eye surgery, and thus losing every chance of ever succeeding.

In a somewhat surprising turn of events, said girlfriend is now sad about not wearing glasses anymore and is considering getting clear lenses for her old glasses in order to wear them for purely aesthetic purposes. So... yeah?

This troper used to wear glasses, but switched to contacts. Her male friends, upon learning this, asked her to try on their glasses. After being told she looked old with them on, she was asked to tie up her hair in a bun. Hot Librarian fetish??? Or simply Meganekko? She's getting ahead of herself.

@/{{Dinru}} fits the personality sort of. Although without her glasses, she's fairly un-pretty. With them, she's HollywoodHomely at best. Slight subversion?

This troper has three friends, all of which have glasses and she still insists they look better with them. Especially the quiet, dark haired, shy one.

One time, my best friend accidentally fell asleep with her contacts still in, and woke up the next day with really irritated eyes. Because of this, she couldn't wear her contacts and had to wear her glasses, which she hadn't worn in a long time. When I saw her next day in school, I thought she actually looked cuter with them. Or at least she would have, were it not for said eye irritation.

This tropette's had glasses since she started secondary school (almost 3 1/2 years now), and two of her friends have tried to ask her out.

This troper has had a love of glasses since she was very, very small. She used to wear lensless ones, but in fourth grade or so, she had to get real ones. She's been told she's cuter with them on. She definitely has the personality of the standard meganekko, being a ShrinkingViolet bookworm.

This troper knows a couple of girls who are cute, smart, and best of all snarky. At this point he considers the glasses a part of them (well, there's that and the fact that if they take them off it's like staring into the sun).

This troper is unable to be physically attracted to someone without glasses. in fact, this troper finds conventionally "hot" people quite unattractive. Extra points if it's a "homely" girl who doesn't qualify for {{beautiful all along}} or a vaguely muscular guy who would be rated about average. This tropers mother also wore glasses.

In this Troper's opinion, Glasses are to Girls what Bacon is to Food.

Or the ''au jus'' to a french dip sandwich.

I like glasses me. Contacts won't do, I don't look like myself without 'em on, and I prolly forgot how to put one on, by this point. I even get all droopfaced if something happened to 'em, this pair in particular.

This Troper is apparently a male version of this. He looks good enough while not wearing glasses (and he's not too fond of wearing them to begin with, he must admit) but when he finally does relent and puts them on...well... He almost had his ex humping his leg, lets just say that.

This Troper has glasses, but only wears them when his sight is really tired, or when he plans to read a book for a whole day. However, before knowing his girlfriend, he used them (along elegant clothing, some gentleman mannerisms and talking quite elegantly, as This Troper like to play "The Nobleman"). Girls said they loved how I look with those glasses and the elegant attire. Male Meganekko, maybe? Ironically enough, my girlfriend likes me without them. And she looks incredibly hot with them. So much I carry photos of her with glasses in my Nintendo DS. Amazingly cute meganekko young girl ftw.

This Troper,who is a guy, and many other people lose their non-violent BadassBookworm status after losing the glasses. In a school of 350 something, every one you know with glasses is either a BadassBookworm or a Meganekko. So now we cant take off our glasses or some of the students think were about to kick some butt. By the way, about 90% of the glasses wearers are Asian.

When this editor was 18, he had a huge crush on this woman who worked at Newbury Comics. She was 28, had short, black, curly hair, and big glasses. Also, she wore a beatnik sweater.

This Troper is a {{Meganekko}} and is pleased to date someone who thinks its cute. She also wears glasses because an old friend told her she looked better with them on.

This Troper qualifies as a {{Meganekko}}; while she technically only needs her glasses for reading, she finds that she looks much better with them on. Also she fits the stereotype by being generally sweet & smart, and has often been described, to her eventual chagrin, as "cute". Especially with the glasses.

In This Troper's opinion, there exists a fine line between being cute and being hot. He knows a girl on his choir who friggin ''flosses'' with that line on a regular basis. She's short enough to be considered a TokenLoli (relax, she's 17), with MostCommonSuperPower and HartmanHips like it's going out of style. Okay, now the relevant part: She does wear glasses, and This Troper finds that not only is she much hotter with the glasses, But It's a lot easier not to fall guilty to the MaleGaze when she's wearing them. and trust me, there are tons of opportunities to fall guilty..

Subverted big time with this (male) troper he dislikes glasses although he has every reason to wear them he has poor eyesight (although its so poor the glasses really do nothing) and his girlfriend has a glasses fetish but he still doens't wear them

This Troper was delighted when she found out her vision wasn't 20/20. She loves to read a book while wearing them and watch as everyone assumes that she's smart and cute. Or, at least, that's what her glasses-fetish-y mind is geared to assume...

This troper's girlfriend wears glasses and is quite possibly the source of his glasses fetish. In an amusing twist, this troper is near-sighted and requires his own pair of glasses for reading chalkboards and such. He's gotten several comments while wearing them from both his girlfriend (who has her own glasses fetish) and female classmates.

This troper serves in Finnish Army and has a crush on a female medic who serves in his unit. Undfortunately the regulations don't allow relationships between recruits. Oh and shes meganekko.

I had a crush on a girl like this. The way her glasses supported various facial expressions (like disbelief or concentration) made her so incredibly cute.

Everyone says that I look better with my glasses on.

This troper has been told that she looks good with glasses and has been told that she looks plainer without them. In fact, she's been thinking about including her glasses with her prom dress ensemble this coming June (it invokes the Lady in Red Trope!)

Deconstructed with this troper: I used to like girls wearing glasses, but I recently ended a relationship in the most painful way; Now, what it used to be some kind of fetish for me, now just reminds me my love failure...

87}} This Troper is this. I got glasses when I was thirteen. As most early teens are, I was afraid of getting teased about them, but was ecstatic that nobody cared, and a lot of people thought that I looked nicer with them. On a side note, I, too, find both men (The Way}} and women) with glasses more attractive.

This troper absolutely loves her old-school square black-and-green frames. Other than that, not much of a meganekko, because of my natural BoisterousBruiser LargeHam CloudCuckoolander personality.

Subverted with this troper: while the girl I am in love with wears glasses, I actually think she looks cuter without them. (That is a subversion, right?) I have a different female friend that looks weird without her glasses.

I must've been a total subversion of this trope because I wore glasses starting from the age of four on and could never get a guy to look at me twice. I enjoyed the ritual of putting glasses on and felt like they comfortably hid me away from others, but they were such a burden during those days when I couldn't think straight, and I couldn't even get a guy to be friends with me because I looked so nerdy. Six years ago I got LASIK surgery, after about two decades of wearing glasses, and now guys don't run the other way when I approach. It's probably a societal and regional thing, along with my feeling ridiculously unattractive during my glasses-wearing days.

This troper's friends always go one about how I look so much better with my contacts in and my hair styled. Then my boyfriend told me that I look better with my glasses and a ponytail, which makes me happy because it's so much more comfortable.

This troper recently got glasses, and now it seems her entire social life has gone through the roof.

This Troper has a good friend who sometimes wears glasses and sometimes doesn't. She's adorable either way, but the glasses just complete it.

This Troper has always wanted to wear glasses, but she has 20/20 vision and therefore doesn't need them. But she has always thought people of both sexes look more attractive in glasses, to the point of losing interest in some guys she had ''huge'' crushes on when they switched to contacts.

This Troper has taken a liking to Meganekko girls (it's impossible not to) and is quite in a dilemma concerning whether he should be thankful for his healthy eyesight or not.

This troper doesn't wear glasses, not even sunglasses, but does like them quite a lot. Once when she was in early elementary, she tried to fool the nurse into letting her get glasses. She couldn't keep up the act, and considering she has 20-20 vision, it backfired and ended in embarrassment.

Deconstructed with this troper. Having to wear contacts to bed overnight for four years despite having perfect vision in elementary school was what essentially ruined her eyesight and made her get glasses in middle school. She wishes she was making things up when she tells people it wasn't video games, spending extended time with her computer, sitting too close to the TV, or reading by dim light that made her wear glasses.

This tropette has been told that she looks like a completely different (and apparently cute) person with her glasses on.

I wear glasses, and I think i look much better with them on.

This troper has dear friend whose adorable with or withour glasses. Sure she's a senior in high school but she also looks like she's much younger. She's cuteness personified.

This troper has had the misfortune of meeting, basically, a real life Quattro. Yeah, she acted nice at times, but when the grades came in, and she got higher than some guys who wound up with C-'s, which was good for them, she went right up to them and said, "This just proves you are all worthless trash, even on a good day, you all still cannot get anything above a C. You probably aren't going to college...people so inferior will work in McDonalds forever." One of them tried to hit her, and needed to be restrained, because the teacher never heard her comments and only saw the nice little MegaNekko.

This is played straight with this troper's sister and some of his friends.

Zigzagged with this Troper; everyone thinks he looks better ''without'' them, but he personally thinks he looks a ''lot'' better with them. Thankfully (or not?), his degree of astigmatism will ensure he never wears contacts any time soon. Incidentally, he also has a thing for Meganekko women, although that's probably because of his middle school choir teacher (more on her in the SexyMentor Troper Tales page),

One of this troper's favorite Japanese teacher of all time is one. She is and looks very much like Yomiko Readman, though as of late seems to be going off the glasses. :<

This Troper has a friend who is very cute and pretty. But when she puts on her glasses, she becomes so much a ''{{Moe}}'' that it is impossible to not want to hug her. The fact that she has an English Accent only adds fuel to the fire.

This troper's girlfriend doesn't need glasses, but she wears non-prescription ones sometimes just to tease him, invoking this trope and its appeal to him. This troper is lucky.

This troper has a friend who wear glasses and looks great in them. When she takes off her glasses, she looks significantly less cute.

The girl I currently have a crush on is a meganekko to the extreme. Never seen her without her glasses, though, so I cannot testify to if she looks better without them...

This troper has a family friend in Japan who fits this trope perfectly - huge glasses and pleasant personality included. Funny how she's not a girl anymore and she's in ''her mid 60's'' but she still counts.

Same troper counts herself as one, although focusing more on the smart aspects than the pleasant ones (I can be an outright bitch sometimes)

This troper has worn glasses since second grade. He finds that 99% of girls look better in glasses. He still wonders if this is a coincidence.

This troper had the hugest, HUGEST crush on this girl. She was the real deal: smart, talented, quirky, nice, and of course the glasses. Too bad it didn't work out. We're both just regular friends now, but she pretty much sparked my interest in glasses girls. It's seriously difficult for me to even try to NOT notice any cute girl if she wears glasses. My friend/bro doesn't get what's my deal and prefers girls sans glasses. Oh well, his loss.

This Troper knows a girl like this. She Subverts the trope because even without her glasses, she's still the cutest girl in the entire school. Perhaps Subverted again in that she's not the nicest girl around. But damn, she is adorable.

I'm going after a girl who looks both hot and adorable with her glasses; I'll admit they are a big part of why I became interested in her. I'll update this entry if something happens.
