Just a mundane pointless observation that I thought I should share.

Hillary has never looked “hot”, however, she does look well preserved for her age.
BTW, I’m sure she wore glasses when she was young- I remember photos of her in the early days of her career wearing glasses.

There is no part of the multiverse in which Hillary Clinton would be considered hot. I doubt even Horndog Bill hit that any more than he had to.

Her appearance is in no way a factor in my opinion about how she performs her job or what kind of person she is.

I agree that it shouldn’t be a factor, but in reality it is.

Agreed. But that wasn’t the question.

Can you look hotter if you’re not hot to start with? I wouldn’t call her hotter, but she looks less fake, which is a step in that direction. I don’t think she’s trying to look hotter or hot though.

The glasses, especially those dark framed ones, draw the eye to them. You don’t focus on the face as much.

Do you have an opinion on how her appearance is a factor in this thread?

Hillary’s two years younger than I am, and I just got some black-rimmed glasses too. What does this mean?

I thought Hillary was cute back when she was first lady. Then she looked like a hag as secretary of state. But now that you mention it, she does look a little younger since leaving the hospital. Suspicious. Maybe that “blood clot” was really a facelift, hmm? Ya think?
(And no sneaking peaks at her cleavage, guys!)

No. They make her eyes look smaller, which messes with her facial proportions. She has pushed past that ambiguous stage of looking exactly the same for about 15 years, to where she now looks her real age, a sudden jolt that most people go through.

Corny, but true: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Hey, we’re all getting older at the same rate.

Without glasses. That way, she’s a little blurred and you can’t see the lines.

She’s looking healthier. I’m glad she’s recovered from her cold triggered sequence of health issues.

The glasses are a result of her concussion and blood clot. She has double-vision and needs the glasses to get her eyes to focus correctly.

Lesbians will find you very attractive?
Thanks to the SDMB and suggestions here to buy cheap glasses at ZenniOptical online, I now have RED rimmed glasses and another set of BLUE rimmed glasses. I get compliments all the time (although I think I also get some odd looks from others who are too polite to tell me they think they look ridiculous…). And no - this is not spam for that online site, but it was one of the better tips I ever got from this board over the years!
