Back when glasses weren't a fashion statement and had coke bottle lenses, they made you pretty unattractive. I guess somehow getting the genetic short straw and having to wear glasses at a young age made you look less healthy, and therefore a little nerdy.
I have thick-framed black glasses and braces, I do look extremely nerdy, but I love it. It's my identity.

I know! It's so annoying. I'm not smart. I can't see.
I guess they think people who wear glasses wrecked their eyes reading too much.
