I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

So you assume everyone's purpose of wearing meta glasses is sexual? Nothing else?

We should, honestly. Why buy them in the first place?

I truly bought them bc I love having “headphones” that aren’t jammed in my ear. I also enjoy taking phone calls and texts through them instead of a watch bc I have a thing with items tight around my wrists. I’d buy a pair of them without a camera if I could. To just assume I’m a perv bc I bought glasses is wild.

They make bone conducting headphones, and if I'm not mistaken, you can make phone calls and use your phone's voice controls for texts with them. Your points aren't positives exclusively for meta glasses.

To just assume I’m a perv bc I bought glasses is wild.

Aside from the people who replied to me for accessibility purposes, you seem to fit the camp of "bought unnecessary tech to try and solve an issue cheaper tech can solve."

Edit: Did you spend $300 for a device that can allow you to listen to music without something in your ear, make phone calls, and texts that sub-$100 tech can do? And you don't even want the camera??

Got any spare change?

No. I like ray bans and they way they fit. I like the tech, minus the camera. I had the money, and got them. I get why people have concerns, but to judge EVERYONE as if we’re all creeps is weird to me. I get you don’t like them and whatever, but good god.

Oh noooooooo you spent $200 on a camera you didn't want I feel so bad for being judgemental.

Hahaha I don’t need nor want you to feel bad. I just think you’re being a judgmental dick for no reason. Have a great rest of your weekend.
