@TV I don't think that's true. I didn't know about that complaint until I read internet forums, and I kind of always would have felt weird just going up to someone in public and striking up conversation.

2018-09-29 17:41:38 UTC  

What's not true?

2018-09-29 17:43:27 UTC  

That the only reason you feel weird striking up conversations with strangers is because women complain about "creepy men"

2018-09-29 17:44:02 UTC  

Oooh. It's true for a lot of guys though.

2018-09-29 17:47:35 UTC  

And maybe it's not 100% of the reason, but part of it, for some guys.

2018-09-29 17:59:55 UTC  

more generally I'd say it's just lacking confidence

2018-09-29 18:06:08 UTC  

That's the main issue.

2018-09-29 18:08:00 UTC  

A confident, fit, white man is exactly what they don't want you to be.

2018-09-29 18:32:01 UTC  

we live in a society

2018-09-30 00:59:34 UTC  

here's a good video to observe body language.

2018-09-30 01:00:03 UTC  

look at his wife throughout this journey

2018-09-30 02:08:59 UTC  

Wife of the year if she stayed with him that long

2018-09-30 14:12:24 UTC  

Lack of confidence will ruin your chances chicks will pick up on that instantly

2018-09-30 14:13:43 UTC  

Always appear confident if you find yourself unable to do that then try some self improvement

2018-09-30 20:09:21 UTC  

In that video, look at the guys shirt at 2:09

2018-09-30 20:09:27 UTC  

😒

2018-09-30 20:22:18 UTC  

Commie...
Or I dunno, his wife is cute, maybe NAZBOL GANG?

2018-09-30 20:22:24 UTC  

(probably not)

Thoughts on the glasses question? Been thinking of getting contacts. Sometimes I think I look good with them, sometimes not.

2018-10-01 04:09:28 UTC  

@Attrition in the desert I have been thinking the same thing.

2018-10-01 04:14:00 UTC  

Well, I know when looking at screens for extended periods (its exacerbated at night or the end of a day,) my contacts can really irritate my eyes. So on a day I'm going to be much more active, or need to look my best, I'll don the contacts. On days I'm doing a lot of work at a screen, or just to give my eyes a break, be lazy, w/e , I'll go for glasses. It's quite nice having both. And I usually end up going a month and a half to two months per pair of 1-month lenses before having to replace since I wear glasses sometimes. (They'll start to split/tear, get warped, etc.)

2018-10-01 06:17:18 UTC  

Acuvue Oaysis contact lenses are so comfortable, I never have issues wearing them, highly recommended.

2018-10-01 18:17:40 UTC  

Contacts worn everyday will dry out and hurt your eyes. It's best to put some drops or gel in before bed if you wear contacts everyday. I don't think glasses or no glasses is much of a factor. If you feel confident in glasses then great if not try some new pairs or switch to contacts.

2018-10-01 18:49:53 UTC  

I take out the contact lenses before bed and store them in cleaning solution overnight.

Anyone who sleeps with contact lenses on their eyes is not intelligent enough to be in IE.

2018-10-01 19:03:55 UTC  

That's not what I'm saying lol

2018-10-01 19:05:28 UTC  

Contacts restrict oxygen getting to your eyes. So when you take them out at night your eyes are often dryed out. Putting some sleep eye gel or drops is a great way to keep your eyes healthy. Both my uncle and my fiance's best friend are eye DRs.

2018-10-01 19:06:32 UTC  

Or you can wait untill you are 40 and need restasis.

2018-10-01 19:07:29 UTC  

You shouldn't assume what people are talking about then insult them based on that assumption.

2018-10-01 19:07:38 UTC  

million dollar idea: perforated contacts
(I have no idea what I'm talking about)

2018-10-01 22:51:35 UTC  

@Louis Loire - NY I'm not good with clarifying my statements' context. I was not assuming you sleep with contacts in. I was building off of the thought flow of what to do with contact lenses at night and should have written "**as an aside**, anyone who sleeps with contacts in ..."

2018-10-01 22:52:54 UTC  

People have varying levels of natural eye wetness. I've certainly had issues with other contacts, but since wearing Acuvue Oaysis for the past decade or so, I have zero issues with dryness. I'm 31.

2018-10-01 22:53:34 UTC  

I'll consider the idea though.

2018-10-01 22:54:53 UTC  

What is crazy is getting laser eye surgery. I know multiple people that have to take eye drops now and have screwed up night vision. No thanks, contacts are not that bad.

2018-10-02 03:38:36 UTC  

Yeah, my glasses make my facial appearance very top-heavy, so to speak.

2018-10-02 03:39:22 UTC  

Same

2018-10-02 03:40:14 UTC  

I used to not really think about my glasses, now I take any visual que I can to reduce my soy factor.
