The Ladies Love the Men in Specs!

Male spectacle wearers are considered up to 75% more attractive to the opposite sex, according to new research.

The study reported that 100% of the models used were considered to be more attractive, more employable, more trustworthy and more intelligent when wearing spectacles.

Researchers presented participants with photographs of five people, both with and without glasses on and asked them to rate the people on a number of traits.

Women rated men on average 38% more attractive and 35% more intelligent when wearing spectacles.
