>>150980 I'd actually link it with geekiness. I love sophisticated girls, but I get turned off when I see girls wearing glasses. Any girl wearing glasses in anime is either a geek (at the description of the creator) or they've invented some other reason that is nothing to do with anything, and is just a way to get a non-geeky girl to wear glasses (like with FSN's Rider).
All the people I know IRL that do things like Computer Science at university like girls with glasses. All the people that do actually sophisticated (as opposed to geeky) things don't; more to the point, all the girls in the geeky classes wear glasses, hardly any girls in Philosophy, English etc do.
Actually, if in a movie you wanted to make someone look sophisticated you probably WOULDN'T make them wear glasses. Hence Clark Kent being Superman's bumbling alter-ego as opposed to his SOPHISTICATED alter-ego... Or all the movies about the girl who was just a geek, but under those glasses she's beautiful and can get the guy she wants blah blah blah. Lame as those films are, it's about going from GEEKY and UNPOPULAR to beautiful and reaching your potential, as opposed to going from SOPHISTICATED and INTELLIGENT to being beautiful etc.
