This is interesting, but just in case there are guys who may actually be discouraged by this (even though the entire thing should be taken with a grain of salt): All it takes is literally a couple minutes of conversation to shatter any preconceived notions people make based on your looks, so get to talking.

I miss the OKTrends blog. It has statistics similar to this, but with a much larger sample. There last entry is from April 2011 though :(

The effect is striking – people who wear glasses are seen as smartest, but least socially skilled, while people who wear sunglasses are seen as least smart and most socially skilled – with people who wear neither in the middle.

Just wait 'til I whip out my transitions lenses. The ladies won't be able to resist.

By the way this person has made the graphs, I don't rate his smartness that high. He used a line graph where a bar graph was obviously more appropriate.

This data is complete bullshit. I don't care how racist this sounds but Latinos are rated the highest in perceived intelligence and asians second to the lowest? Yeah sorry I'm well aware of what everyone's stereotypes are and this is obviously a fucked up sample size / control
