Men Now Making Passes At Girls Who Wear Glasses

And why has Sarah Palin made glasses sexy? It must be, surely, because she is such an idiot. Women worry that spectacles will make them look learned, blue-stocking, sexless or intimidatingly smart. In a trice, Palin whipped that stigma away. This is the woman who believes that God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago, a theory now known as Palintology.

What reassurance for women everywhere. You too can correct your astigmatism while still coming across as a halfwit! Men will have nothing to fear! Hillary Clinton in glasses, now that's intimidating. Sarah Palin just looks like a librarian in a porn film.

I don't wear glasses but I do have a pair with clear lenses for when I want to look scholarly

I've worn glasses since I was a little kid. I'm glad that finally being an extrememly near-sighted brunette with glasses is a turn-on. And, after all these years, I can now bleach my hair, still wear my glasses and be a dumb blonde if I wanted to!

What are you talking about? I've ALWAYS made passes at girls wearing glasses.

Little known factoid ... once you get the glasses off, they like to snuggle up real close where they can see you.

Intimidatingly smart?

There is such a thing ?

Objects that impute intelligence should be sought.

Objects that impute stupidity, like cigarettes, should be avoided.

I love women who wear glasses!!

Glasses do not make an ugly woman hot. A hot woman makes glasses hot.

Poetry or haiku of some sort.

Girls in glasses, fine. Girls in the utterly dorky style of glasses currently fashionable, not so much.

When I was growing up, glasses were a must to avoid. I wore contacts since I was in grade school. I never feel sexy in glasses, though the men around me beg to differ with that assessment.

Frankly, I've always had a particular thing for "girls who wear glasses". Brunettes in particular. RAWR.

...The image *requires* intelligence to complete the effect, though. Palin might be a quick study, she might be smart, but she's just not intelligent in any way I would measure it: she hasn't shown me that her 'smarts' have been applied in a meaningful, thoughtful, and sustained manner.

glasses are a great way to show off style. You can be wearing the most boring kahki outfit, but if you're wearing a pair of funky purple glasses, it says you are an individual. I think it draws both guys and girls.

I've worn glasses my entire life. I've tried contacts, but hate touching my eyes. I've thought about Lasik, but decided I would be in the fraction of a percent that could possibly go blind. I just wear the glasses. They are a part of my face, and I feel naked without them at this point.

When I see a fellow glasses wearer, especially a younger female like myself, I think that the glasses convey a sense of confidence about themselves. It's a sort of effortless beauty kind of thing, I think. A girl wearing glasses is usually not a girl who is "trying too hard." Most men respond pretty well to the low-maintenance look in a girl.

I used to get comments that I had a Tina Fey thing going on (glasses, dark layered hair with sideswept bangs, pale skin, brown eyes). It's used to be fun...unfortunately I'm getting the Sarah Palin comparison now! Yikes!

Heck yeah. It's the librarian/secratary fantasy.
Oohh I feel like doing the Borgnine just thinking about it.

[Sadducee]

That's why I wear contacts.

Women in glasses are TOO sexy. They draw my eye more than any other type, because I instantly wonder what a conversation with a woman in glasses would be like. They convey intelligence, the most beautiful thing a woman could possess.

I fell in love with Tina Fey back when she took over Weekend Update, looooong before her Palin parody. She has it all, the dark hair, the glasses, the wit. Her show is awesome, even more so because she created it, writes it, AND stars in it.
