Men hardly make passes at girls wearing glasses

A few weeks ago, we reported that ex-Paris BFF Kimberley Stewart scored an advertising contract with the lingerie company Ultimo.

Lest you miss her in her underpants modeling debut, you can soon catch Stewart's face in another capacity. Kim has agreed to be the face of Specsavers Opticians. In addition to posing to eyeglasses, she plans to launch Specsaver's national modeling competition to find the eyeglasses wearer of the year.

An eyeglasses wearer of the year contest, eh? Since when did wearing glasses make you a charity case? I guess that's just what happens when a group gets stuck with Kimberley Stewart as a spokesmodel.

Are you suggesting that guys don't like girls in glasses?!?! It hardly stops most of them!

It's a Dorothy Parker quote: "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses" (not hardly)
And yeah, the article was pretty pointless.

Yeah I feel like my glasses are kind of my secret weapon. People don't notice that I can still see the way they look at other people,including me. I've been checked out many times and hit on. Some guys like smart girls and even though there may be a girl WAY smarter than me. She doesn't wear glasses so guys may not realize that under all of that make-up is actually some brains. It's sad that people judge character by physical appearance, but I may as well use it to my advantage.

I have to admit i was looking for something more from the article as well, such as going into the way that people look at each other and even think about each other. To see that it's nothing more than a snippet about a single person is dissapointing. On the topic of glasses it's just an accessory, perhaps they just accent her eyes.. or pull attention to them or something else about her. For me i don't care about glasses or not, i'm much more interested in someone's intelligence and how they act. ah well but what do i know.. :) i'm not hollywood. and i'm not a model. not that i really care what hollywood or models say about beauty anyway... however i do find some of their arguments amusing.

I thought there would be much more to this, but anyways... Guys do hit on girls in glasses. I've worn them for over half my life and I've had plenty of guys hit on me and boyfriends. Almost all the guys I've dated wear them also. If a guy doesn't hit on a girl because she wears glasses, he's got more issues than just the glasses.
