People who wear glasses are typically seen as nerdy <\/em>or geeky<\/em>, is that a bad thing? In the workplace, research has suggested that People who wear glasses are seen as smarter and more professional.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A third of adults think spectacle-wearers look more professional, while 43 per cent think they appear more intelligent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cooper goes on to say \u201cIt is not surprising that businesses want to employ intelligent staff but the idea that intelligent people wear glasses is an old stereotype that has not gone away.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is possible that some people have more self-confidence and change their behaviour when they put on glasses, which could in itself improve their chances at interview.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n So according to the study, Job hunters are more likely to be hired if they wear glasses to their interview. That\u2019s one good reason to wear glasses; are there more….<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scientists say that short-sightedness is more likely to be linked to intelligence and open-mindedness. The study conducted at the University of Melbourne’s Centre for Eye Research Australia tried to find personality traits linked to myopia. The findings showed that there was no link between myopia and introversion, conscientiousness or passiveness, but there was a link with agreeableness and openness.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It will come as no shock that men who wear glasses earn more than those who don\u2019t. A survey conducted in a finance brokerage in London, with 600 employes found that 61% of the top earners wore glasses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s three great reasons to wear glasses but there is one important factor that needs to be taken into consideration….what do women think?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And interestingly, the study found that it is men who benefit the most from embracing their glasses.\u00a0 Women considered the male models on average 38% more attractive and 35% more intelligent when wearing the accessory.\u00a0 One male model was perceived as a whopping 75% sexier when pictured in glasses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Research from Social Media and dating sites also highlighted that men, wearing glasses in profile pictures had more time spent reviewing their profile then those without.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are a number of retailers which can help and provide great advice on selecting the best pair of glasses or sun glasses to suit your face and style.
