I chose number 12, because they looked close to the ones you liked, and are (I hope, given the name?) titanium. It was difficult to tell without you actually wearing them though. Number 11 also seemed interesting. ---

So far I have 77 replies but haven’t converted the data yet. Looks like my idea is still winning though. I still need to verify IP addresses. And drop, that just wouldn’t be fair if you did that. Vestal – I sat there for two hours at a time trying to get contacts in, I finally gave up. Eyes irritated and crying from frustration. Contacts and I don’t get along. ---

I voted for number 6, and I’m using Netscape right now . . . it was open, basically. Who’s the lucky guy with his right arm around you, techie? ---

personally I think you’d look fantastic in any of them. I voted for #9, though. ---

I had the same problem with contacts, Techchick. I couldn’t stand putting them in, it got to the point where I was taking 45 minutes in the morning to get them in, and no matter what kind of solution I used, it hurt like hell. My Xmas present to myself may be LASIX surgery too. I voted for something or other, don’t recall which one though. ---

I went for #6, but thought of #9 too. Leave the tag on for Vegas! ---

As of this morning I have 100 replies! **You guys are great!** I will post the results (with the top three SD/FFF choices) Sunday night. Tuesday is my exam and get my glasses then, I will ask a friend of mine (oy) to take a picture if I have my digital camara then. Otherwise you will have to wait for Vegas pictures to see your work \< hehe \>. ---

The winners are: [http://www.cwcm.net/techglasses.html](http://www.cwcm.net/techglasses.html) #6 won by a large margin. There were 108 votes total! Thank you for your help. Tomorrow I will be styling again instead of these crappy ones I currently own (believe me when I say they are pretty damn ugly!) Thanks again everyone for your input! ---

Well, hell…as usual, I’m a day late and a dollar short. Somehow, this thread escaped my notice. In any case, I would have voted for the #6 Brooks Brothers ones, too. ---

I know this is a little late but for future reference, the Cosmopolitian make-over software has a feature where you you can “try on” different glasses grouped by manufacturer in addition to hair, hats, and makeup. The trouble with eyeglass shopping is… you can’t see what the heck they look like without your glasses on and it’s hard to be sure if the person you bring with you while shopping is telling you the truth or f\*\*king with you. I feel your angst. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dopers-challenge-well-i-need-your-help/28077.md?page=2)
