Why is it that people who wears glasses look inteligent?

Answer 1

ACTUALLY FRND NO ONE LOOKS INTELLGENT.
those people who think so are stupids.
actually its boz of those stylish glasses.

Answer 2

People who wear glasses may look intelligent but it is not necessary to say that all those who wear glasses are intelligent and others are not. Glass wearing depends upon the necessity. There are some who wear glasses right from childhood and there are some who can read without glasses in old age also.
Now a days more number of people are wearing glasses because of more eye strain due to studies, TV, Video, films etc.

Answer 3

you have put a very smart question there. "look intelligent" i don't exactly know what you really meant by that. well, the popular belief is that people get to wear glasses cos they study or spend maximum time with books (straining the retina and eyes at large) which is considered as a desirable trait for intellectually advanced. most often people in general fail to notice that glasses can be worn due to some deficiency of the eyes too. intelligence is always BEST measured by quantifying the inner abilities more than due to outward appearance. this is as close as i can arrive at an answer.

Answer 4

At present, those with vision problems also have the choices of laser surgery or contacts. Those who chose these may be perceived as more shallow and concerned with appearance; whereas the glasses wearer is saying I'm less concerned with appearances and more concerned with seeing. Hey, when I was young, I wore contacts for years. Then I had an epiphany: accept or reject me for who I am, not how I look. So I've worn glasses for 25 years now. I have really bad vision, but often think how lucky I am to be able to see and read perfectly with glasses.

Answer 5

It's because we have this notion that people with glasses read a lot of books (that's how they got their eyes blurry). But really, not every person who wears glasses are intelligent in the same way that you also don't need glasses to look intelligent. Intelligence is an innate gift from God. It just depends on the person on how to make it grow.

Answer 6

Well, the presumption is that the need for glasses comes from excessive reading, and intelligent people are the ones who read excessively.

Not always the case, but true often enough to make it a Hollywood stereotype.

Answer 7

Because generally speaking... "intelligent" humans spend much of their time indoors, perusing books and computers... accumulating and processing information in a rather confined environment. Their long-range vision will tend to lose its edge from this, causing them to become short-sighted and require vision-correction in the form of glasses.

Plus of course... if they were outside partaking in sports and other such physically-but-not-mentally stimulating activities, their glasses would be more likely to break or come off.


In short... glasses are best suited to the bookreader's life, and bookreaders are generally intelligent.

Answer 8

Wearing glasses doesn't make anyone look intelligent.
It just means they need glasses.

Answer 10

association effect. normally people who read a lot tend to get glasses. and people who read a lot tend to be intelligent. so the connection. ofcourse its a stereotype, but a useful sterotype with a good predictive value.

Answer 11

Because if you need glasses and you don't wear them
you look pretty stupid walking into walls.
