I wear glasses and my highest grade in the Junior Cert was a C. I was smarter before I got glasses, tbh.

I wouldnt say that the majority of people who wear glasses are highly intelligent.

Im another specky four eyed mutant eye weakilng who is rarely the sharpest axe in the toolshed. They're like a push up bra on a woman, they make me look better than I am.

Mr Magoo is a genius! :eek:

The really smart people who need glasses realise they can hav contacts or laser surgery. It's just the nerds who stick to glasses so they can find each other and talk about Star Trek.

I only wear glasses half the time; does that make me 50% more clever than normal?

Tbh; I think it's that 'clever' people tend to wear glasses because they read/use computers more - the prolonged concentration of the eyes damages them. So clever people are more likely to wear glasses; but not all glasses-wearers are clever

Have you watched trailer park boys?

minidazzler · 30-03-2010 05:22PM

I wear glasses, and I am a genius, but a lazy one.

landsleaving · 30-03-2010 05:23PM

I didn't have to wear glasses for most of my life but then halfway through getting my degree I had to get them. Now I'm doing a PhD course. Clearly there can be no coincidence. Glasses have increased my ability to do things I have no business doing.

I never wear them mind, they make me look silly.

Gummy Panda · 30-03-2010 05:24PM

Some women look hawt wearing glasses.

Mmmmmmm...

I thought I was linked to some porn fetish site where all the women wear glasses and pretend to be nerds.

What a let down

I dunno, there seems to be women with certain types of eyes that when they wear glasses I get that fizzing feeling in my pants. :pac:

Though I'm more of an eye person, I suppose.

You should see my collection!

Hank_Jones · 30-03-2010 05:54PM

I don't want to be mean to anyone that does wear glasses...

But I know a fair few people that wear glasses and a large number of them are certainly mentally defective.
To the point that I'm wondering how they don't fall down more...

The people on university challenge and that are probably wearing glasses due to the amount of reading that they have previously done,
causing them to need reading glasses, or just glasses in general.

Edit: Just to say, women wearing glasses is hot.

rubadub · 30-03-2010 05:55PM

I think they are simply clever enough to realise they need glasses. It is like those reports saying athiests have higher IQs, intelligent people would be just more likely to think more about such things. I would also wonder if it is like blind peoples senses being heightened, allowing the brain to work more on other tasks rather than registering visual detail.

However, he cannot tie his own shoelaces.

due to a birth defect.

I like to think I'm the smartest person I know.
It's not true though.

Mrmoe · 30-03-2010 06:02PM

Is it not generally due to the fact that a lot of scientists/genuises are generally in their later years when they are usually recognised for their past work/success? As they get older their eyesight would naturally deterioate and so there would seem to be a higher percentage of smarter people who wear glasses.
