i dont get why the majority of male members here where shades....

shades are you way to hide a major facial feature....they could be crosseyed or have a lazy eye.

because they're cool...

I don't know.

I think it's so they can give you the look

Some of those people may be catfish.

Anyway, welcome to the site, BURLESQUEDANCER.

Sunglasses definitely aren't a male only thing. Why is it a problem?

This is what I thought, I don't see it as a problem, people always look for faults in others, so what someone wears shades, really who gives a chit.

If an image of one wearing sunglasses is the only image in one's profile,
then others will suspect that one is a being shady.

Not necessarily. That's your paranoia getting in the way.

A person looks very different wearing sunglasses, and not wearing them, I feel. There is a saying, "eyes are the window to the soul", or something like that. I know when I talk to someone, I don't like it if they are wearing sunglasses and I can't see their eyes. I don't know where to look. On the rare occasions when I am wearing sunglasses, I always take them off when I talk to someone, even outside in bright sun. It is a different story if the person has eye problems and can't handle light. I get that.

Have you forgotten just how literal we Melmacians are?

Yeah, the shades make us look ultra cool. But most users would like to see your eyes...as pointed out in an earlier post.....the eyes are the windows to the soul.....providing you have a soul...... You make more contacts, if your eyes are visible in your profile pictures...all I am saying...

ahhhhh...so that explains it


wait a minute my eyes are covered up
and that still does not stop the messaging

Lol I think it goes back to the whole Movie Star persona; the guys are trying the whole "Top Gun" aviator thing.

Interesting, now I. Know why. I thought it was because at the end of summer the loved the panda look..
You learn something new every day

Because, when you're cool, the sun shines on you 24 hours a day.
