Yes. Take them off and put on your regular glasses. You're INSIDE, not outside. I wear Rx sunglasses, and that's what I do.

If you wear those Transitions glasses that change from glasses to sunglasses, that's a DEFINITE dealbreaker.
I have a friend who CAN'T take them off inside because he's so light sensitive and gets awful migraines when he's exposed to light without his sunglasses.

I lived in NYC for a long time, and sometimes the only personal space you can get is that which is created by your sunglasses (unless you've experienced it, this one is tough to explain), so I'm completely guilty of indoor sunglasses. Most of that city is.

That's a silly response to an honest answer she provided. She was speaking of people she knew but did not say that only men are obsessed with hobbies...

And didn't the moderator say no gender bashing? Girls only are obsessed with clothes and the like? Really, silly comment that doesn't add to the OP.

Nope, happily married to a guy who doesn't wear skinny jeans or sunglasses inside!

He also has an above-average sense of humor.

So I gather you did not read my last line... And those women to me would also be a no-no if I was a chap.

Also I would argue that on the whole , most women I know would pick spending time with their spouses over shopping.

Some women have obsessions too but men do seem more prone to becoming all engrossed 100% into one single activity.

And I was not talking about a few games, I am talking about people who cannot possibly miss one game, who cannot possibly record a game, who cannot possibly go to a family event or a romantic dinner because there is a game on, men who behave like three year olds every time their favourite sports is mentioned.

A cousin of my Husband was listening to a Cricket Game in the Church whilst his own Brother was getting married. On a little portable TV. Heaven forbid he could record the bloody thing and watch it later. Tell me that is healthy and normal... He spent most of the reception with his mates watching the game. How rude, incosiderate , churlish and childish can one human being get...

I love a lot of things , but I am not obsessive about it. I have a life outside of one specific interest. Many people do not which would be absolutely fine if they were not making someone else pay the price for their obsession.

Well that's silly... they lighten when you go inside. And tranisitions aren't intended as sunglasses so you'll "look cool", they're intended to protect your eyes from the sunrays, particularly when you're older.

Not only do I wear transitions when I'm extra busy, I wear PROGRESSIVE transitions. And until I learn to run my errands on roller blades, I will continue to wear them.

They don't always lighten all the way.

It really was a joke.

But I still wouldn't date someone who wore them.

My biggest two are:

Lack of ethics — this encompasses many things, such as lying, cheating, illegal activities, dispassion, etc.

Someone with children or who wants children.
