Men Don't Make Passes as Girls Who Wear Glasses...
I have terrible vision and have to wear either contacts or glasses if I want to even make it safely across a room without tripping let alone function in the world. I would say I wear my contacts about 85/90% of the time for no other reason than that I like to wear sunglasses and am not responsible enough with my possessions to keep prescription ones un-lost and un-broken for very long. That said, I do like my glasses and also how I look in them (somehow sweeter or kinder than I do with a naked face).
Anyway, one of my male coworkers today told me that “no offense but most girls in glasses aren’t cute” and even though I’m puling it off, I look “a hundred times better without them.” I was slightly offended.
Then, only like 10 minutes later, I had this conversation with the owner of the place where I bring my dry-cleaning and decided I will only be wearing said glasses to watch TV at night from now on:
Owner-Man: You are married?
Me: What? No. What? (holding up a dress shirt) No, this is a woman’s shirt. See the darts in the side? It’s tapered, see.
4 hours agoOM: No, no ring. You are not married.
Me: No. I’m not.
OM: You are pretty girl.
Me: Oh. Thanks. I, um…
OM: But not as pretty in glasses. You know, men not find attractive women who wear glasses. You have trouble to get married.
Me: Really?
OM: Glasses for old women who already have husband.
