Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they'e a nerd or re

Growing up, I was extremely near-sighted, whereas my twin has 20/20. So naturally, I had to wear glasses.



Our entire lives when we hang out together the %26quot;intellects%26quot; instantly flock to me, even though my brother is way smarter than me (he went to princeton on a scholarship, i went to state college w/school loans. lol)



Seeing as how we both look alike, it%26#039;s GOT to be the glasses. My bro is just as well spoken as me and as an accountant that has travelled the world extensively, I believe he comes across much more refined than me.



I know i sterotype people -- I flip the channel when rap videos come on, but when I saw rapper Lupe Fiasco (he wears glasses) I was like, %26quot;Hmm...maybe I%26#039;ll give him a chance%26quot;. And yeah, I ended up loving him.

That%26#039;s an interesting story....you liked a rapper with glasses. :-)



Well, I used to wear glasses/contacts until I had Lasik surgery done and I%26#039;ve seen this from both sides. I tend to stereotype people with glasses as smart. I especially find myself attracted to guys who have really cool glasses - like frameless ones, really delicate wire rims or the thick-framed artsy-fartsy (%26lt;-yeah, a technical term) looking ones.



On the other hand, I know that guys have written me off as dating material because I wore glasses. (shrug)



Glasses can be a blessing and a curse, I suppose.



Cheers.

No, it%26#039;s more based on personalities.



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

not nerd, not really reallly smart



but i think of them as people who have at least something smart to say =)



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

some times i do depending on what type of glasses he has on. If they are super thick. I get a little scared but if they fit their face i would talk.



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

Everybody does.



But i try to catch myself and get to know them.



But when I see someone with glasses i dnt think anything.



Usually its how they dress or who the hang around.

My ex wore glasses from the age of 3, and was always judged by them. He was/is quite intellectually brilliant, which had nothing to do with his bad eyesight.



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

Well no Sweetie, I don%26#039;t personally assume people are smart because they wear glasses, I have to hear what they are saying and then see how they act first...



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

in general i think we all make assumptions about people by their looks... its just human nature..

I used to think this but I know lots of stupid people who wear glasses!



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

saddly yes



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

At first glance yes. Even my own daughter looks more smart and grown up in glasses.



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

I dont think so, i wear glasses and i look even more stupid with them on then off =)

I do not stereotype sometime with people that wear glasses but i do stereotype (nerd:glasses short shorts hangs out with people that are %26quot;nerds%26quot;)



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

i see other people do it, but i never do. i used to wear glasses, and just think it%26#039;s a look.



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

No, people who wear glasses arent smarter, because there is no need to wear glasses. You can do certain eye exercises which force the eyes to focus.



Glasses encourage eyes to weaken.



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

not usually, because I wear glasses myself. But people always tell me I look like an innocent librarian, when they get to know me they are usually surprised.

The only stereotype I have about people with glasses is that they have some kind of vision problem so they need corrective lenses.

well to be honest, ive always found men that wear glasses to be very sexy. Might be to do with the impression that they are more intelligent. No idea, but thats just my opinion



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

well it depends on the person, of course. some people look nerdy with or without glasses and some people don%26#039;t. i start to sterotype people with glasses sometimes, but then i look beyond that.

absolutly homme g dude,i wear glasses and i am white, that doesn%26#039;t work in the wrong neighborhood were people all want there homework done for free.



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

Yes, that was so sweet, how you gave him a chance. I wear glasses also and I have got use to them. I didn%26#039;t always, my sight was a lot better. I feel you are as smart as your brother.



Do you find yourself sterotyping people who wear glasses -- like you assume they%26#039;e a nerd or really smart?

I absolutely hate stereotype. Sooo naturally I am not going to stereotype people. Stereotypes are WRONG and I dont believe in them. If I see a guy with glasses I dont automatically think %26quot;oh he wears glasses so he must be a dork and not have a girlfriend%26quot; Noooooo thats wrong and stupid it just means the persons vision is f%26#039;ked up. Or if I see a arab person I dont think %26quot;oh hes gonna blow something up%26quot; Dumb again. We need to get over stereotypes.

we are steryotype at some point, its just in our nature to do things like that
