I think the issue with transition lenses is that most modern glasses are designed to be somewhat inconspicuous. Drawing attention to them can draw attention to other irregularities about someone's face. I don't need glasses, and hope I never do, because I have a huge square German face and finding frames to flatter it would probably be something of a challenge. At least with sunglasses I can just wear oversized styles and look somewhat proportional. Anyway, for content on the awkward album cover thing, here's something a friend of mine who works at a record shop recently shared:  It's a 60's girl group thing, and is probably quite a good comp. Why they chose a weird middle schooler to design the cover is kinda beyond me.

There's nothing objectively wrong about transitions, they're just the fedora of glasses.

I used to think transitions were awesome, but I was 14 and fortunately could not afford them. Now I just wear contacts and sunglasses. I hate glasses so much, and this thread (or rather the people being posted in it) is a large reason why.

Congratulations on having 20/20 vision, awesome eyesight and being uber cool with the ladies and all, I guess. When you're done with that explain to this guy: cobalt impurity posted:Transition lenses are fine, you weirdos. It sucks having to keep up with two pairs of glasses and constantly swap them out. I also happen to enjoy being able to read signs and poo poo while I'm driving or walking around in sunlight surrounded by bright white concrete. What an awkward, ugly he creep he is for needing glasses and wanting convenience.

It's not that hard to have a prescription pair of polarized lenses and your regular pair. It's worth the effort to not look like a weirdo. It's worth the effort doing a lot of things to not appear awkward or ugly. In fact, if half the people in this thread put just a tiny bit more effort in they probably would be in this thread.

I Before E posted:So what's the story here? Let me tell you of the trials of SA goon permabanned in a thread about a kickstarter for a PUA rape manual. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3555489&userid=139835 permabanned essentially tried to explain to us why PUA existed. It was because of all the sex hoarding by the alpha men in society, because women cared about money because sex is all they're good for in our patriarchal society. He was basically an MRA trying to argue from a feminist point of view. Also something about the impending population crisis as all the lower-tier males in society can't get laid. Then the topic turned to why he was so concerned about this... permabanned posted:It's about general tendencies, whatever works for you is good. In anecdotal way I can say that out of 65 or so people I tried to date only 2 were not placing money and status as the most important point. permabanned posted:I was wrong - five people were interested, actually. The dating activity spans 12 years from when I was 16 to now. I tried to date most of those people between 16 and 20 and a year in Russia in 2011/12. permabanned posted:No, I'm just not physically attracted by Caucasians. I think that all that talk about 'creepy and gross' comes from the fact that most of SA posters grew up either in monoethnic countries or monoethnic regions. permabanned posted:I have an impression that you amalgamate entitlement and need. I am a 6' 145 pound 13% fat bodyweight, self-sufficient, healthy-eating, cooking, baking, exercising and self-improving person with an interest in various types of music, Far Eastern history, society and culture, modern Japanese architecture and city management (among other things) and so on but I don't have a permanent job and an OECD citizenship and those two points seemed to be deal breakers. I am probably a boring person interested in equally boring people who would like to having lots of intimate contact - and who I've had lots of it for 5 years. Really the whole thread is worth reading. It was pretty amazing

They make you look like a dweeb and the world has had contact lenses for something like half a century and lasik surgery for two decades. Maybe it's okay if you're a four year old and you have to have glasses strapped to your head because you can't get the contacts in yourself, but after that there's literally no excuse.

Some people (such as me) look worse without glasses, others like them, lasik might not be an option for some, might dislike contacts, part of a personal style or personal choices in general, contacts might be impossible (such as multifocals I think, or specific eye damages), people who've been wearing glasses for a long time and switching would be inconvenient... What I'm saying is that there's a large number of reasons to wear glasses. EDIT: Apologies for the atrocious sentence structure.

Inco posted:Some people just don't like the idea of things touching their eyeball. These people are probably even less inclined to have lasers shot into their eyes. Some people's eyes are resistant to correction other than glasses, too. I have astigmatism and have trouble finding contacts that fit comfortably, but I wore contacts for years. I can't see up close if I have my contacts in, so if I wear contacts I have to have reading glasses. Since I work at a computer all day it doesn't make sense to have to wear reading glasses when I can just take off my regular glasses and read up close. I've also been told I'm a terrible candidate for laser treatment and would almost certainly be back in glasses in less than five years. I'm pretty terrible and awkward, but if I could get my eyes fixed I would. I alternate between glasses and prescription sunglasses, though. No transitions for me

Crow Jane posted:I think the issue with transition lenses is that most modern glasses are designed to be somewhat inconspicuous. The trendiest modern glasses have thick solid-colored plastic frames. Photochromic lenses look stupid because certain frame designs complement dark lenses better than they do clear ones, or vice versa. Most of the time people get frames that look alright when they're clear (spergs and goons love their thin vaguely square half-wire-rimmed or rimless glasses), and turn into stupid looking sunglasses when they darken (the thin wire rims/no rims make you look like a dude with two black holes for eyes rather than just a dude with sunglasses on). Photochromic lenses also turn purple or blue for the minute or so that they're changing color, and anyone wearing purple or blue tinted glasses looks stupid. Brother Jonathan posted:Agreed.
