Spectacles (and the lack of them). An insight.

People often wear spectacles. It was something I was a little worried about when I first wore them a few years ago. I’m not so bothered now. It seems spectacles have become an essential part of my life. What I find strange is that the friends I had at school who used to wear the large thick lensed glasses don’t wear any at all. They’ve all had laser treatment or use contact lenses (which amazes me considering how poor their eyesight must have been in the first place). And I am the one who is more often seen wearing glasses. Albeit expensive designer ones.

I’m undecided on whether glasses make people look more sexy or not? Certainly they do give a certain emphasis to wearers eyes. I think some of it depends on an individual’s colouring in the first place.

Take a look at the following pictures. As you’ll see. I have many pairs of glasses or spectacles.

The above are a mixture between prescription and 3D vision glasses.

These are all prescription glasses.

What is interesting about the above black and white pictures is that the colouring seems to work okay on all of them. I think for me to carry off the black rimmed glasses on the right. As I am blond. I would need to grow more facial hair and perhaps wear a hat. I’m quite happy wearing them with a hat but without I’ve decided the look doesn’t quite work (how sad of me!). It’s a personal preference based on feedback I’ve had from others. Not necessarily anything spoken. Just the way people look at me and articles I’ve read in womens’ magazines. Which, if you’re a guy. I’d recommend if you’re trying to get a real critical viewpoint on appearance and perception on a wide variety of problems. It’s a little like approaching a problem knowing that you’re naked in some way. It’s hard to do but the result is more honest (Perhaps not representative of groups as a whole. I’d say it’s better to understand grounding behind criticism than not. Especially if approaching situations alone.). If you’ve had perfect vision for a most of your life like I have. Consider how many problems could arise from mistaken identity and those that appear in agony aunt columns in newspapers and magazines. It’s an insight which doesn’t seem so stupid and one I feel many more would do well to understand. Especially considering how little we can tell about others senses from just looking at them from a distance.

Do you have any feedback or stories?
