To dump him for wearing glasses?

[ThisFluentBiscuit]

Lighthearted AIBU.

I have a lovely sexy FWB. Problem: He permanently obscures his handsome face by wearing these awful glasses. He won't wear contacts - has tried them and hates them. His glasses are really unsexy, but it's hard to get them smaller because they're the bifocal type with a line across. He looks like a bank manager from the early Nineties. When he takes them off, he looks about 20 years younger and 10 times hotter. Drives me mad.

Also it's frustrating that I've got this handsome man who ruins all the general foxiness when we go out with these glasses. He sometimes sends me photos of himself - he's on holiday right now and just sent me a shot - and my vagina is starting to shrivel a bit at the bank manager look. It was OK for the first couple of years because it was all new, and we don't see each other THAT much anyway (although we're firm friends so we text a lot).

I'm beginning to realise that the glasses are going nowhere.

TLDR: His glasses are giving me the ick. Should I dump him for someone who's not perma-wearing a sexual impediment blazoned across his face?

I'm going to book mark this thread to show people when the 'if a woman posts' crap.

Comments passed the vibe check.

Yes dump him, he deserves better.

Having seen a few other bonkers comments from this poster recently, I reckon she really does feel justified in slagging him off for not having 20/20 vision.

Please OP, dump him. Doing so will enable him to find a woman who genuinely loves and appreciates him for who he is, rather than a superficial idol.

I would love to see the reactions to this post if it was a man posting about a woman!

YANBU - anyone is entitled to dump anyone for any reason however petty. I hope he finds someone who is not as petty.

Oh my Lord - you even marked it as lighthearted, OP and MN took it super seriously 😂

My take? You get to take the glasses off and witness the transformation to peak hotness each time - a transformation few others get to see. Hot in itself, right? 😍

I once got the ick from a limp handshake. He was lovely, funny, gorgeous but shook hands like a wet rag. Couldn’t take it. So weird what hits you! (Happily married to a firm handshaker for 13 years now).

Can I have his number? He sounds like he deserves better than you OP.

Just because you put the word light-hearted doesn't mean it is.

How did you find this out? Do you begin dates with a handshake greeting? I don’t think I’ve ever shaken hands with anyone I’ve shagged. Apart from when I shagged my boss I guess but we won’t go into that.

keep him, better the devil you know, just for the sake of a pair of glasses

Yes dump him.

He deserves far better than you.

how did you get the boss ?

You’re only a fuck buddy so don’t get too carried away now.

What’s his number?

I was doing sound engineering for bands, and he was doing lighting when we first met. Professional relationship first (until the end of the tour 😄).

Yep- as shallow as a pie dish!

Superman was always a bit of a dickhead.
Clark Kent was always so much better.

Thats where my mind went

Then immediate to my giant jam jar cock blockers

😆 😆

Love men in glasses, the geekier the better, there’s something very sexy

Better get him to clean those ugly specs of his.........he might then get a better idea of just how shallow, self-centred and judgemental you really are OP. 🤓🤓🤓👊Power to the spectacle wearers!!!!!!!

If you’re only FWB, what’s the problem? He doesn’t keep them on while he’s at it, does he?

Sounds like a Clark Kent / Superman type situation. Wouldn't put me off.

I think OP expected this to go better 👀

Agreed, a pair of glasses don't make anyone look 'ugly'.

Set this man, and his efficient eyewear, freeeeee
