Geeky Men with Beards and Eyeglasses Become More and More Popular

April 19th, 2011

A survey named “onepoll” indicates that men who are a little geeky and have beards are more popular with women. Maybe some people will be surprised at it, but this is true. Now I am going to summarize the characteristics of the men who are loved by ladies.

First of all, have beards. Although the men with unshaven faces may make others feel that they are sluttish, there are still 41% of ladies who love them as they deem that beards will make them exciting.

Second, geeky. Geeky men with beards at the same time are often regarded by ladies as good in a lot of fields, especially in IT. I am not kidding with you because I have several male friends who are engaged in IT and almost all of them have these features. Undoubtedly, they are deeply favored by ladies.

Additionally, having sternalseta and grey hair, wearing eyeglasses, being an athlete and other such elements are the secret to touch the ladies’ hearts.

mens-fasion-glasses

However, ladies seldom admit that they like this kind of men (especially geeks). On the contrary, they just say that they need muscle men in words. But actually, they all want their boyfriends to have some special characteristics. For instance, the muscle men don’t have more advantages than the soft and cuddly men do.

As for the beauty-conscious men, I suggest that you can change your images from now on if you desire to be welcomed by more women as 63% of women show that they don’t like those men who spend much time on dressing up.

Now you can see handsome, neat and tidy men are out of fashion. The world belongs to the geeky men. If you don’t want to be out, just grow your beards and buy yourself a pair of cool glasses.

How to Recolor Metal Frame Glasses

April 17th, 2011

Sometimes people may be bored with the frame color if they wear a same pair of metal glasses too long. So they may want to change their eyeglasses frame colors without changing another new pair of glasses. How to achieve this purpose? Here I have a good suggestion, namely recoloring it with paint.

There are many paints various in colors available in the chemicals shops. You can choose any color that you like with only $5 to $8 per can. After getting the paint, you can begin to recolor your eyeglasses by the following steps.

Before painting, you should disassemble the lenses and nose pad and then tighten the screws up. If it is inconvenient to disassemble the lenses, you can paint the glasses by sticking papers on them so that to prevent the lenses from being painted. After that, rub off the original color with a fine sand paper and abrade all the parts to be painted once.

After finishing the preparation work, you should begin to paint. Tie an iron wire at the folded part between the glasses frame and legs to facilitate the painting. After the first painting is completed, wait for five minutes and then continue the second painting.

Place the glasses at a ventilated place for drying for 4 hours, and then install the lenses and nose pad. Do not apply too much force while tightening the screw so as to avoid breaking the glasses.

Apart from the above method, nail polish is also a nice choice for recoloring metal frame glasses. But you should be more careful to paint the frame uniformly while using nail polish.

Actually, if your eyeglass is not expensive I suggest you buy a new pair instead of recoloring it. Through this way, you cannot only change your eyeglasses frame color but also change its style. Isn’t it nice?

How to Identify Authentic Designer Eyeglasses

April 6th, 2011

Facing with various kinds of designer eyeglasses that make us dazzled, we usually feel helpless since the fake branded eyeglasses that look almost exactly the same with the authentic ones are getting more and more. If we are not cautious enough, we will easily be deceived by the knockoffs. So it is of great importance to identify whether the eyeglasses we have bought are genuine or not. I think you must be cautious in case of these following events:

1. The “authentic eyeglasses” are sold at exceptionally low prices

Most of the time “cheap and fine” is just an adjective. High-quality goods with extremely low prices can hardly be got in our real world, because even if the ordinary eyeglasses would have such costs as expenses for materials, labor, transportation, etc., let alone the designer eyeglasses.

2. The seller claims that he is a production manager or has relationship with the production manager.

As a production or sales manager of an international eyeglasses factory, he must be quite busy everyday. Moreover, the production quantity is limited and the cost accounting is very strict in the big factories, so how can the “manager” take out so many designer glasses? I think all of you should think over if it is possible? Even if he is able to do so, you can imagine how bad his character is and how low his reliability is.

3. The seller claims he sells the eyeglasses at a loss

It is credible that the seller makes low profit in the transaction, but it is impossible the he sells the designer glasses at a loss. No one would be willing to sustain a loss in business, in other words, no normal people would do so unless he has totally lost his mind.

There is another thing I want to mention, namely the details of the authentic eyeglasses are processed more fine than that of the knockoffs be. Take LOGO for example, the genuine eyeglasses’ LOGOs are smooth and clear, and the rhinestones on them are brilliant; while the knockoffs’ LOGOs are coarse in the edge, and the diamonds on them are dull.

I hope you can learn the knowledge about identifying the authentic or fake eyeglasses, so as to enhance your ability to identify true and false and avoid buying fake designer eyeglasses.

Filling a Prescription? You Have to Wait Even if you are a Prince

April 1st, 2011

Apart from producing aromatic cookies and acoustic equipments, the Danes offer the people all over the world with a way to express themselves, namely Lindberg Eyeglasses. It takes less than 30 years for this Denmark eyeglasses brand to rise, but even so she has attracted numerous Eurasian royals. The celebrities with status and tastes seldom wear gorgeous adornments on their faces; instead they choose Lindberg to express a kind of low-key philosophy.

In the fashion field, people always say if a Cinderella meets a prince who wears a pair of eyeglasses, the glasses must be Lindberg. While among them, the noble metal series is the most outstanding.

The noble metal series glasses frames are manually made of 18K gold or platinum, decorated by diamond and other gems. Each frame is a treasure that is cut from the natural material elaborately and placed in a glasses box made from real leather. Lindberg’s Goldsmith is able to combine all kinds of noble metal according to particular requirements.

The gold used by Lindberg noble metal series has a unique source. It is the gold ore mined from Greenland which is located at the North Pole and then transported to Spain to be processed into 24K solid gold. Lindberg is the exclusive eyewear brand who has the special right to make such gold into glasses frames. The wedding rings of the Prince and Princess of Denmark are made of the rare Greenland gold.

It is worth mentioning that it takes 20~50 working days from seeing the samples, choosing styles to getting the eyeglasses. Don’t complain the time is too long. Even the Prince of Denmark or Bill Gates has to wait for the glasses for so long a time. If they want to customize gifts for themselves or their friends, they have to make a reservation in advance.
