It shows their insecurity IMO. I, like you, only wear my eye-hiding sunglasses while I'm driving.<BR/><BR/>Right now I'm starting to get more interested in sunglasses but I'm tring to find ones that don't cover the eyes or reflect too much but there aren't many at all that don't hide the eyes. It's frustrating trying to find good sunglasses.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140367215232378329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-43856622725707722552007-09-16T19:40:00.000+01:002007-09-16T19:40:00.000+01:00Sunglasses are useful when driving into the sunlig...Sunglasses are useful when driving into the sunlight, or when in an unusually bright environment.

I agree about mirrored sunspecs though - the 'Tom Cruise' lookalike poseurs generally look naff, unless they're the genuine article ;) , I too like to see people's eyeballs when speaking to them. But there are cultural differences - a lot of people in Eastern cultures (China, Japan etc) do not appreciate having people look straight into their eyes; it's regarded either as invasive or else as a sign of deference depending on circumstance.<BR/><BR/>A counter-clerk in one very sunny country I worked in who suggested to a customer that he remove his mirrored sunspecs received a massive slap across the face - she was as black as he was, except that she was from a French Caribbean Departement, he a local (in an African country). It took quite a lot of careful discussion afterward to soothe the injured feelings of both parties to that dispute.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393265755614039206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-35682395905084869882007-09-13T09:34:00.000+01:002007-09-13T09:34:00.000+01:00In the last two weeks, I've pointedly asked two di...In the last two weeks, I've pointedly asked two different friends to remove their sunglasses when talking to me. They ask why, I explain (along GB's lines), they smile ("Can't argue with that!") and oblige.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate why people wear them, but if they're going to engage me in conversation, their removal is an act of civility that I look very favourably upon.Stairshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03666338364999663287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-89899476559164897282007-09-13T07:56:00.000+01:002007-09-13T07:56:00.000+01:00So I guess I'd have to learn to like them in Aus! ...So I guess I'd have to learn to like them in Aus!

And yes people do hide in them for a reason. I do, for lots of reasons, like checking people out as they walk past without them knowing,looking good, hiding my eye bags,to protect my eyes or to simply lie.

That being said, whilst I used to like the shiny mirror style glasses, I don't anymore. And yes, I do agree, if I am talking to someone, the glasses come off - I hate talking to someone who is wearing sunnies, and therefore expect that other people feel the same way too. :-)Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535444453211857308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-15262419644572390262007-09-12T23:18:00.000+01:002007-09-12T23:18:00.000+01:00They are an absolute necessity in Aus during the s...They are an absolute necessity in Aus during the summer - they protect your eyes from sun damage like suncream does for your skin.<BR/><BR/>Besides - how can you sit on a beach and have a surreptitious perve without hiding behind your sunnies?! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
