    AITA for wearing colored contact lenses on a first date

    1 (24F) met "Brad" (26M) on a dating app. We talked for a week or so before deciding to meet up last night at a nice bar.

    For reference, I have dark brown eyes, but for the past year, I've been wearing these olive green colored contacts when I go out.
  • 04
    They're pretty subtle and look natural even up close (which is why I like them so much) and I feel like it just enhances my makeup look.

    In my mind, coloured contacts are just like any other makeup product, so I never found a problem with wearing them, and they make me feel confident!

    The date was going great and we really hit it off. We both ended up getting a little drunk so one thing lead to another and we ended up going back to my place and he stayed the night.

    Anyways the next morning, I woke up before him so l thought to be nice and make him breakfast.
  • 09
    We chatted, making plans for the day until he went quiet and just stared at me weirdly... I thought I just had food on my face until he pointed out that my eyes were brown and not green.

    I thought he was joking around so I laughed and told him that I wore colored lenses and took them out before going to bed last night but if he liked my green-eyed alter ego better, I can put them back in for him.

    He did not laugh but got up and started to grab his things. At this point I had no idea if he was still joking or not so I asked him what was wrong and this is when he started to go OFF at me.

    Telling me I was such a catfish and the worst kind of woman that just lies, is superficial and fake (mind you, I have not had anything done to my face or body.

    not that this would validate his argument). Anyways, we argued until he left my place and we haven't spoken since.

    I feel like contacts are the same as using makeup or changing your hair color so I'm not sure why he was making it such a big deal... When I ask my girl friends, they said that he obviously has problems, but when I ask my guy friends, some say he sees where he is coming from?

    I feel like collared lenses are vilified when it's basically the same thing as using something like mascara or fake lashes.
  • 16
    I just wanted to know people's thoughts about this, is it really that big of a deal to people?

    Edit: For people asking, the contacts are from dimplecolor in the color mystic olive and yes, my dating profile does show me with and without contacts!

    I don't wear the contacts all the time, only when I feel like it matches my makeup/mood.

    Background_Big7363 What a weirdo! Be glad you're rid of him.

    OP m191712 My thoughts too, I'm glad I wasn't the crazy one here!

    Practical_Ad_5652 He probably just felt deceived. I get it but I also don't see why he overreacted so badly. He must have a thing for green eyes. What color were your eyes in your photos? If you don't have any with your real eye color that feels. pretty deceptive...

    OP m191712 My photos had a mix of me with and without contacts so I guess he just never noticed?
  • 24
    holymacaroley I can understand being a bit surprised, but anything beyond mild, unemotional surprise is wild.
  • 25
    OP m191712 Right? Took me by surprise because i've never had someone react like that. Usually it's fascination followed by a heap of questions but never anger...

    Informal_Mistake_662 NTA. Actually, he is the AH for how he handled himself. That said, I do agree with his sentiment. Colored contacts are creepy AF and I have never seen them look natural.

    OP m191712 I guess people only notice bad colored contacts, the good ones just look like natural eyes Hahaha. The ones I wear are pretty natural so maybe he never noticed
