Tools of Attraction: Glasses

Ngozioparia

What makes people with glasses sexy?
I think it's the fact that we have an extra sense of confidence. We exude more energy. We come across as more headstrong and put-together.

Anyone who wears glasses and doesn't need them automatically becomes unfuckable.

What about wearing hearing aids without needing them?

I like to wear my arm sling when I'm out and about in NYC. Give it a couple of months, it's going to be the Next Big.

Agreed. This "scene" look is so fake. Instant loser to me.

I hope that you're not including sunglasses!

Ngozioparia is stunning! I'd like to see her beautiful face without glasses.

Mar 09 11 - 8:28am

Wouldn't mind seeing her without the jacket, either...

Glass half full

I'm an eye guy. They're the window to the soul, and for me, glasses obscure my...soul gazing. It's like I can't get a real feel for someone's attractiveness, or maybe their real essence, until they take the glasses off. The thick, dark rims that have made such a comeback tend to enhance this problem for me. They seem to make a person harder, a bit more severe. When the glasses come off, it softens the face and makes a person more accessible to me.

I think it's fantastic that wearing glasses is hip now...it's certainly easier to find more modern frames these days, as opposed to a decade ago, when I could only find glasses appropriate for someone twice my age. Yes, some silly kids are wearing them without merit, but for those of us who NEED glasses (not everyone can comfortably wear contacts), this trend is quite convenient!

Agreed. The variety of flattering glasses out now is outstanding. Although I will say it's obnoxious that apparently people are willing to assume that people are just wearing glasses to be stylish.

Also agreed! I've had bad eyesight since 3rd grade and recently I've noticed the frames are improving a lot. I can now look hip...and see!

So these people want to wear glasses then? I'll fucking punch them in the eye, then they'll know what it's like to be half blind

Mar 11 11 - 12:30am
girl

pfft! i know! totally agree w. ya...they don't know the real burden of being half blind haha

Mar 09 11 - 9:23pm
Frbr

I'm really fucking blind and I don't think that's sexy. Especially with my thick rims and lenses. Not. Sexy.

Mar 13 11 - 5:21pm

hahaha agreed. my vision is so bad, the thickness of the lenses pretty much pop out of the frames.

Mar 15 11 - 3:31pm

But, I think having thick lenses is sexy! Totally nerdy and uncool back in the 80's, but thick lenses are so in right now.

My man uses reading glasses and sometimes when I have a hard time reading something and am at his place I will use his to see better, I wear contacts and when he saw me for the first time in his glasses he said I was soooooooo sexy..... WOW

Mar 10 11 - 7:48pm
Hmmm

When you think about it from an evolutionary standpoint, glasses shouldn't be sexy. It's a clear signal that the person has inferior genes and I need them so I'm not bashing, merely pointing out an obvious point here, but one no one seems to mention...hmmm, maybe we're (hipsters aside) developing an attraction since so many people need them?

Mar 11 11 - 11:50pm

If that were true, I could understand your point. Staring at a computer screen for 8 hours a day can be like holding a weight at a fixed position for the same time. Regardless of age or genetics, your muscles/tendons shorten. A more obvious example would be women who wear high heels a lot and rip their Achilles tendon when walking in flats. My point is, you can be born with sight defects or you could acquire them over time from doing things our eye were never evolved to do.

Sexy or not, I prefer contacts. Bicycling is the main form of transport in the city I live in right now, and for me it is simply less hazardous to wear contacts. I need to be able to see clearly from the corners of my eyes.

Max and Kenny appear to be the only ones with a prescription in their lenses. I hate it when people who don't need glasses wear glasses. The WORST kind of hipsters! Or maybe I am just mad because I am a very myopic girl :(

Mar 13 11 - 9:19pm
nope

The only one that definitely didn't have a prescription was Paul. Ngozi clearly has one and it's hard to tell on Cindy. Not sure why everyone is so quick to assume they don't.

Ngozi you look great girl.. I want that coat =)

this girl looks amazing. it's the right collaboration of colors and pieces really makes the outfit effortless and chic.

CINDY! I SAW YOU AT THE GO CHIC GIG AT WEBSTER HALL THE OTHER NIGHT!!!

Mar 14 11 - 12:43pm

Yeah! I was definitely there. Have we met?

So, I'm missing two things:
1) I'm missing where they're saying that they're wearing them and don't need them (maybe I missed it... and I don't even really see what would be the huge deal if they did, but whatever)

2) How anybody even got past the fact that Ngozioparia is a goddess long enough to make that most played out of complaints: "Fu**ing Hipsters".

Also: Holy sh** are some of you miserable. Get off Hooksexup and get onto a suicide hotline or some sh**.

Glasses, not exactly hot and attractive. I think all five look good...not because of glasses.

"I think it's the fact that we have an extra sense of confidence. We exude more energy. We come across as more headstrong and put-together."

Not really. You just look like you're wearing glasses.
