Are glasses and braces nerdy?

[bridesmaid2018]

I know in the past people with braces/glasses were considered nerds. I have both of those, so that's why I wanna know. Also, is "nerdy" a good thing?

Potentially to the first question and yes to the second. Glasses can be seen as nerdy or intelligent. Braces may be seen as nerdy or just a sign of corrective oral health procedures xD

In terms of whether or not nerdy is a good thing... yes I'd say it is. It's very attractive because it's sincere. Girls who seem focused on their look, on makeup and whatever other generic pretty girl things that are associated with pretty girls... all of those feel insincere. They feel kind of flaky and shallow so... yeah nerdy is a good thing :)

Its completely up to you how you name it.
Nerdy as individual is one who is very much into academics and slightly obsessed with certain subjects.
Glasses and braces are a necessity to some, so merely that don't add up to being nerdy, unless you are taking notes of the jocks and cheerleaders of the school.

Its just stereotypes. That doesn't mean its good or bad to be nerdy, but having those doesn't make u a nerd.

Dont worry about whether theyre "nerdy" or not. Glasses are cute and braces are gonna make your teeth look great. Focus on being you, instead of focusing on whether you're nerdy or not.

Nowadays you're an exception if you don't have/had braces so having those doesn't make you nerdy. It's generally accepted. I've never had glasses so I can't speak for those but I think the way you dress and act is going to make a bigger difference in the way people see you than glasses.

I have both two when I was a teenager. I was really fool thinking I was nerdy, because later I really understand that isn't important. So, if someone say the same to u, ignore them. You can't be definite for what u use!💪💪 People who love u, don't care about it

It's got that nerdy look, but being a nerd, geek or dork isn't a negative thing anymore as long as you don't show it into people's throats and are being an asshole about it. I think glasses and braces are cute and charming. I'd love to be able to rock glasses myself

[Leo3572]

Of course it is. I would neither call it a good thing nor a bad thing. It is just a look and it depends on the person whether it fits or not. by the way I also need glasses but I don't like them so I'm going to have a laser-op somewhere in the future.

[JackSparrow95]

No! I had both growing up and was certainly not a nerd! If you're feeling self conscious just remember braces are temporary! And glasses are cute!!

[LabraBell]

I wear glasses as you can see, and I once wore braces. I've never been called needy for them, and some people even complimented me when I first got my glasses because I look better in them.

*Ba-dum tss*

It doesn't matter if glasses or braces make you "nerdy".

You are who you are, and if people judge you based on what you look like, that's up to them and it's not your job to change their mind, doing so would change who you are just to appeal to them.

Try and appreciate who you are and don't let stereotypes and other people wane you.

Whatever lable you want to put on it... It's still cute as hell.

I wear glasses & braces also! Don’t mind being called Nerdy 🤓

[xsaphirafromthesouth]

worn braces and have been wearing glasses for 10 years, really is nothing nerdy tbh it's just what you think yourself, most people wouldn't even care tbh

[189754632]

I am gonna say straight about this. INTELLIGENCE matter's. To get proof read book about subconscious mind , matter and physics book about realitivety. then you will understand why I say those words

[veronicalynn]

No not at all.. both my kids wear glasses and my youngest has braces.. They were a little "nerdy" before that tho. But hey the girls are already chasing them.. Nerdy is what's in style 🤔😎😉

[inmensus]

Not at all. They help you either fix your teeth or see better. That'd be like asking if taking meds mean you're nerdy. And everyone calls themselves "nerdy" or "nerd" just to look cool but most people are dumb. Lol

[LazyMan]

They are considered nerdy, nerdy is not a bad thing, to some it is a good thing, to others they just won't care.

[winterfox10]

They are kind of nerdy, but glasses are nerdy in a fun and sexy way. There's no redeeming braces though.

[bridesmaid2018]

XD no redeeming braces? ok then

[innoxentt]

nowadays people with glasses are considered cool, can't think same of braces

[llPurpleSkittlesll]

Being nerdy is a great thing. People will assume that you are intellectual.

[outside_Toronto]

Nerdy... I suppose they could be. Lots of people have one or the other... or both and they're not nerds.
Nerdy can be a good thing. There's something for everyone out there

[maddy4747]

I had them in middle school pretty much everyone does but it’s not always considered nerdy

[ashley_dropps]

glasses are hot but bracelets can be too much when paired with a bunch of accessories

[bridesmaid2018]

Bracelets?

[Ayer93]

Not in the slightest. Especially nowadays where they can look fashionable. Braces on girls I even find cute sometimes.
