Are Men More Attractive With or Without Glasses?

Published in Attractiveness Perception Research 2 mins read

Based on a specific study, there was no significant difference found in the perception of attractiveness for men with or without glasses.

Research on Glasses and Attractiveness

According to Graham and Ritchie in their experiment involving British participants, they did not find a significant difference in how social traits, including attractiveness, were perceived when comparing faces with eyeglasses versus those without them. This suggests that, at least within the scope of this particular study [7], wearing glasses did not have a statistically significant impact on perceived attractiveness.

The study examined perception across several criteria:

  • Social traits
  • Including attractiveness

Here's a simple summary of the finding from this specific research:

Appearance Aspect Attractiveness Perception (Based on Graham & Ritchie Study)
With Glasses No significant difference compared to without glasses
Without Glasses No significant difference compared to with glasses

It is important to note that this finding comes from a specific experiment [7] and perceptions of attractiveness can vary widely based on cultural, personal, and contextual factors not covered by this single reference.
