*Get approached by some dude in glasses

*He hits on you

*Leave

I feel bad for people who need glasses

This is just going to popularize thin rim glasses haha.

Yeah I was thinking, don’t these creepy glasses stand out?

I'm partial to OVVO, I tend to be pretty hard on frames (-8 prescription, I can't not wear glasses), but the two pairs I've had have been nigh indestructible- deceptively sturdy especially given how thin and light they are. (Bonus points for not being part of the eyeglass cartel too)

OVVO: I wish they would use normal human models. These alien beings would look good with poop on their face.

I've already adopted the transparent frame: nothing to hide, only my undivided attention if they'd like to geek out about their special interests or just want someone to listen.

I just talk to women like I talk to men.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

It's how I talk to everyone when I'm not masking or following social scripts. It's the most fun I get out of social interactions.

At least you think you do...

[–] agingelderly@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

I'm definitely going for transparent frames of some sort when I get my next pair

I'm blind without my glasses. I've thought about surgery but I'm wear ansi safety glasses anyway - I know what it is like to go to the bathroom without my glasses - that is okay in the middle of the night - but I have no interest in my whole life being like that so I'm protecting my eyes as best I can.
