Sfaic it's a waste of money and those who think they look smarter with said pointless glasses actually look stupider.

Like I said, every one of those would look sexier without the glasses.

Sexy girls with glasses only look sexy to me if they have to wear glasses, if they don't then they just look like pretentious wannabes

Having a -6 prescription means i have to all the time, so i feel i've earned the right to wear glasses, those that try it on are just fashion victims because they think they'll look smarter and get more respect.

Your black-rimmed glasses are prescription free, where as me
I literally can't see my hand in front of my face

It's an argument concerning grammar in that some don't believe the word "Stupider" is a Comparable Adjective and doesn't exist and that the more formal use of "X is more Stupid" is the correct terminology however it all depends on formality.

The word exists. It just isn't possible to use it in a senrance.

I had laser eye surgery so I didn't have to wear glasses! I guess some people think they are "cool". I just find them a pain.

But how are you going to hide you true identity?

It works for Clark Kent!

Brilliant! People will argue about any old toss.

People wear them as a fashion statement on a night out
