As a young single man he found that he preferred women who wore glasses.
He sat pondering about it. He couldn’t remember a time when he didn’t feel that way. He guessed that it was simply a case of how he saw them. Do they make a woman look more intelligent? Perhaps that was it. There again, it may have been some film star that he subconsciously associated with any woman wearing them. Or did it go even deeper than that. His mother wore glasses, and he had always loved his mother. Whatever it was, he imagined this had been some psychological thing that had developed over time.
He was still slouched in his armchair thinking about all this, when a thought struck him. It occurred to him that any woman who had to wear glasses, obviously had poor eyesight. He got up and went into the bathroom.
Maybe it is because… he looked in the mirror, because if truth be told, he really was quite ugly.
