I just ran out of prescription contacts, so im gonna buy another pack this month (Ive been wearing them for a year) and I thought, since I wear them everyday, why not try another color... cuz Ive always wondered what Id look like with green, some people in my family have that color and they look pretty good.

The thing is, im pretty insecure about this, it sounds like a femanine thing to do. Is this true or am I just paranoid? Are there any guys here with colored contacts? I just dont wanna get made fun of afterwards. :/

I don't believe you're being paranoid. It is a femanine thing. Unless you're goth and you put in blood red contacts, or something.

Knew someone who had red ones, he went around scaring people with them. I wanted light blue with white pupils, but then I figured out that I hate contacts altogether. :?

If you like them and want to then do it. If others don't like it they don't have to look

Dude, I'm sure that everyone goes through a stage of wanting to change something about themselves. If you want to change your eye color, go ahead, it's not like anybody here can stop you. Besides, why should you care what everybody else thinks about you anyway? It's not like, if someone says your feminine, that you'll become a girl. It's all up to you. Not to us.

The only reason I would see someone getting colored contacts is if the genetic color of their eyes was a problem. Such as if you have light green eyes. From what I can tell having very light green eyes makes people look at you differently. It's pretty odd actually.

My friend who has no need for contacts or glasses at all, bought a pair that had the Scottish flag on them, though when he stuff them in it just looked like a cross-hair on his eyes. Looked pretty damn cool and since then i've kinda been considering getting some red, balck or white ones. just the freak everyone out. Be like "Someone poured acid into my eyes and well look what happened" *take of sunglasses* *freak everyone out*

Planning to do such a thing with "Sith contacts" (I would choose that, wouldn't I?). Doing it at Uni and I gotta say, it doesn't define your gender. That's like saying what colour hair you have is gender determinate. Have fun with it and get some new coloured contacts. If people judge what gender you are by it, then that's immature.

Just make sure they at least match your natural eyes color a bit. I've seen a lot of guys... not straight bw >___> who look absolutely ridiculous with colored contacts.

I don't really have an opinion on this matter. Get them, don't get them. If you don't like the color, you can always get new ones.

Yes, these extravagant colors like green and purple and gray!! Gray!! Are you kidding me with that! And you said you wanted green contacts, that's fine. They looked bad on them because they didnt match their skin color.

Sitting here at the computer I say,  go for it. But If I was in school and saw you with colored contacts, I would probably make fun of you behind your back.
