I want to trim my eyelashes but my girlfriend is begging me not to, ideas?

In my eyes, long eyelashes on a guy aren’t that high on the list of attractive features…but that’s just me. Anyway, mine are very long and my point of view is: they make it difficult to put in my contacts, and when i’m wearing glasses, they brush up against the lenses and are annoying.

My g/f’s response is “No!” and “They won’t grow back!” and to just wear my glasses lower. What do you guys think?
