Men in Glasses

20140805-224300-81780536.jpg

I have to admit, I find men in glasses very attractive. I personally though hate wearing mine. I wear contacts most of the time. My own eyesight is pretty bad, which in turn means my glasses are very thick, and I don’t particularly look good in them. However, many men do, even when they think it makes them look dorky. I love dorky loveable guys, so glasses just make a guy more attractive. Take he guy above. He looks very sweet, and his eyes and half-smile give him a certain knowing look that speaks intelligence to me.

Dorothy Parker was extremely witty, but sometimes she was just wrong. She once said “Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses,” and she also said, “I require only three things of a man. He must be handsome, ruthless and stupid.” First of all, I think there are a lot of straight men who would make passes at girls who wear glasses, and I definitely think there are many gay men who will make passes at guys who wear glasses. Furthermore, glasses do tend to be a sign of intelligence. Those who read a lot, tend to need glasses. If I were to give my three requirements for a man, it would be handsome, kind, and intelligent. One out of three for Ms. Parker isn’t too bad, but I don’t want a man who is ruthless or stupid. Grant it, Dorothy Parker was rarely serious in her quips, so I won’t hold it against her.

So let me ask you guys two questions: Do you wear glasses? Do you find men who wear glasses attractive?

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
