wuts surgery

>>7956559
Do you mean laser vision correction? If so, I haven't given it much thought and probably won't ever opt for it because I doubt it would be within my budget. I've already heard it has been harmful for some people. Maybe in 10 years when they're technology is more advanced and I'm in a better financial situation. I'd really hate to lose my reason for wearing a monocle, though. I've become used to it and it's quite the conversation piece.

>>7956507
what would you say is the best fedora to match my monocle

>>7956577
I don't own a single fedora.

>>7956577
I don't own a single fedora, so I'm afraid I can't help.

>this fucking thread
>this fucking OP
what do you mean you've "already heard" did this technology just come out in the Victorian steam punk era you live in? Did you even bother talking to your optician or oncologist or whatever about the surgery and how much it would actually cost? (I know the answer is no). And I can only imagine the fucking conversations you have with people about that monocle. Its probably either some neckbeards popping a halfchub cuz ur "like a sir" or some drunk people have a joke at your oblivious expense. Fuck. Before you reply with "u mad bro" I will say yes, yes I am. I can't stand people who are oblivious to the fucking culture in the outside world and they think just because they are confident in what they do, they are correct to keep doing it. This applies to every fucking part of your life; fucking work, fucking school, just fucking. Your a pleb.

>>7956507

>>7956643
>what do you mean you've "already heard"

I meant that I've already heard about problems people have gotten as a result of undergoing laser vision correction.

>did this technology just come out in the Victorian steam punk era you live in?

Good one, but I live in modern times.

>Did you even bother talking to your optician or oncologist or whatever about the surgery and how much it would actually cost?

As I said already, I probably won't opt for surgery and I enjoy wearing my eyepiece. I do wonder, though, how would you think I have a prescription lens if I don't go to my eye doctor? Of course I go, and I go every 2 years to have my prescription updated.

>And I can only imagine the fucking conversations you have with people about that monocle. Its probably either some neckbeards popping a halfchub cuz ur "like a sir" or some drunk people have a joke at your oblivious expense.

That's not accurate at all. The vast majority of repossess are very good. I don't hang around bars so being mocked by drunken idiots isn't an issue and a lot of ladies in my life whom I've been on dates with found that it made me unique.

>Fuck. Before you reply with "u mad bro" I will say yes, yes I am. I can't stand people who are oblivious to the fucking culture in the outside world and they think just because they are confident in what they do, they are correct to keep doing it.

I'm well aware that monocle wearers are rare. That's doesn't bother me because I do what makes me happy and couldn't care less if that makes other people angry. The fact that you think everybody needs to adhere to your fashion standard doesn't do anything but prove what an arrogant dick you are.

>This applies to every fucking part of your life; fucking work, fucking school, just fucking. Your a pleb.

intense tipping in this post

wear whatever you want op but i could never wear a monocle. Would attract far too much attention and i would be self conscious. I already kind of dress like an old man and would look like a steampunk

can you get glasses with only one perscription lense?

>>7956712
Thanks for the kind words, anon. To each their own.

About the glasses: I can, but as I said earlier, glasses make my ears itch.

How long did you wear glasses before you switched over to the monacle?

for your sake op i rly hope u get over ur issues with glasses and switch to them asap

u seem like a nice guy i dont wanna see u go down this path

respect for wearing a monocle for a purpose though, I seriously knew a kid who used to bring a monocle to school for no reason other than to be "classy"

>>7956729
I started wearing glasses when I was 15 and began wearing a monocle when I was 16. I'm 20 now.
>>7956731
Didn't want to sound like a neckbeard. That's not the look I'm trying to get out of this.
>>7956738
I appreciate your concern, but it won't happen.

>>7956743

Can you post a picture of the type of girl you attract with this monacle?

I have poor eyesight in my right eye only; I was jokingly considering getting a monocle as well, but honestly it would look seriously tryhard. Perhaps when I'm older.

>>7956725
Why not wear glasses without the side arms? That or just man up, monocles are not acceptable to wear unless if you're a billionaire or some shit.
Good luck OP

>>7956507

>>7956754

>>7956744
I wouldn't really care if somebody was just wearing one for the heck of it, but it does help to have a legitimate purpose in my opinion.
>>7956749
I have a girlfriend, but doubt she'd appreciate having her pictures uploaded on 4chan. So here, have a random picture of a pretty lady wearing a monocle, instead.
>>7956754
They tend to look way more natural on older people, that's for sure. Though, if anybody was actually alive from the era where they were normally worn they would literally be around 150.
>>7956760
Glasses without the side arms? Show me, please. Also, I only need to correct my vision in one eye, and I enjoy wearing my monocle.
>>7956764
Yeah, I'll be old in 40 years. I'm not sure I'd like to wait that long to wear what I want to wear just because other people think I should..

[tipping intensifies]

>>7956854
I'd tried cropping pictures before and people still reversed it. Sorry mate. Also, I don't see how it is any of your business what type of girls I attract.

>>7956873
I'm not one to take chances, and again, I don't see how it is anybodys business what type of girls I attract.

>>7956871
They're not any different than other girls, in my opinion. Just normal people who happened to find my eyepiece unique. If you're expecting a massive landwhale hamplanet, I assure you that's not the case.

>>7956875
honestly i can't see an /fa/ qt (or really any qt) being attracted to a guy in a monocle

like maybe if you were model-tier attractive, but judging by the aura of autism emanating from your posts, I'm really doubting it

post a picture of yourself in a monocle and we can tell you if you can pull it off

srsly you posted on /fa/ so you can at least expect us to be a little skeptical assuming you know anything at all about the prevalent styles here

indulge our curiosity and prove us wrong

>>7956900
If you DARE to know, this is the monocle I currently sport.

(picture included not me)

>>7956895
Monocle pictures on the internet are very limited. If you can find more attractive women wearing them, please share the pics because I haven't found any.
>>7956898
What if I told you, some girls are nerds who enjoy cosplay? What if I told you, that doesn't necessarily make them unattractive?
>>7956900
>honestly i can't see an /fa/ qt (or really any qt) being attracted to a guy in a monocle

You can't see, you say? I've got a fix for that!

>like maybe if you were model-tier attractive, but judging by the aura of autism emanating from your posts, I'm really doubting it

You're psychiatrist who can qualify autism through the internet? Wow.

>post a picture of yourself in a monocle and we can tell you if you can pull it off

Firstly, I would absolutely never post a picture of my on here. Secondly, I couldn't care less about whether or not you think I can pull it off.

>rsly you posted on /fa/ so you can at least expect us to be a little skeptical assuming you know anything at all about the prevalent styles here

I posted on here to have a discussion and maybe even hear from another monocle wearer because as you know we are few and far between.

>indulge our curiosity and prove us wrong

I'm not here to prove anybody wrong.

>>7956912

That isn't me.

>>7956917

If anybody was actually curious, though, this is my monocle.

>>7956917

>>7956924
My burden of proof to what? That I've dated attractive women? Fuck off, I don't need to prove anything to you.

>>7956927
no, that you can make monocles work

you know, the fucking thread topic? whether you dated someone attractive is irrelevant, lots of impressionable bimbos/himbos out there

how does that shit even stay still and doesn't fall of when you go hard niqqa

>>7956936
You're an idiot.

The thread topic was to discuss monocles.

I am not the one that brought up whether or not I could make a monocle "work".

Other people came in the thread and began demanding I post pictures, which I have expressed multiple ties a clear no towards.

>>7956941
It's actually not that hard. Just make sure to get a proper sized monocle. If you're over 6ft get a 40mm monocle and if your under 5'11ft get a monocle no larger than 37mm. As long as you don't move your eyebrows up, it won't fall. It's also attached to a string around your neck or a pin so you won't lose it if it does happen to fall.

the thread topic was indeed to discuss monocles, and i am currently discussing whether or not someone can have one on without looking like some retarded steampunk cosplay

i have seen dozens of monocle wearing autists around williamsburg, and they all look stupid, hence why i am asking whether or not YOU can wear a monocle without looking like an idiot, which clearly falls under the purview of "monocle discussion"

This is the third time I've said this. I do not want to opt for surgery, and I enjoy wearing my eyepiece.

>bars? to see drunk ppl? this immediately leads to believe u haven't been to a party

Then this immediately leads to believe you're an alcoholic, right? Jumping to conclusions is stupid.

>THATS EXACTLY MY POINT, U DONT GIVE A SHIT HOW U IMPACT OTEHR PEOPLE

>>7956976
I decline to post any pictures of myself on this thread as this thread is to discuss monocles, not me.

>>7956987

Good day to you.

>>7956953
you said in the OP to ask away if we're curious

we're curious as to how you look in a monocle, and quite honestly how anyone can pull it off, because I have seen no pictures in this thread of people who actually look better with one

We're skeptical, and this thread will cease to be interesting if we aren't given something to discuss, and we can't discuss monocles and monocle stories or whatever the fuck because I can guarantee you that you are the only person on /fa/ who wears a monocle

the very fact that you made this thread, along with your tone, tips me off to the fact that you don't regularly browse /fa/

look at the first page, and try to find ANY threads related to fully traditional menswear. you won't be able to. there just isn't a huge niche for things like that anymore, there are places like fedoralounge for old-style menswear and such.

even just by viewing the first few threads on /fa/ right now, you should have expected this sort of reaction, instead of acting all indignant that we would ask you for pictures. that's what we do here.

you will find us to be nothing but skeptical, because we have never seen it pulled off, and we will continue to be skeptical, because we still have not seen it pulled off well.

>>7957002

what do you expect us to talk about if you're the only one here who wears a monocle

>>7957057
It is entirely possible to discuss monocles without having a picture of me specifically wearing one, seeing as I have a folder of almost 25 pictures of people wearing monocles. You just want a picture of me to reverse it and find my info and fuck with me.

>>7956962
6/?

>>7957066
paranoid much

we want a picture of you so we can see if it fits with your clothing style, face shape, etc.

here at /fa/, we always tell people to post fits if they talk about owning something, especially a more obscure accessory or garment. This is no different. Mostly it's just because it opens up a conversation, so we can actually discuss something.

Like I said, it's otherwise going to be incredibly difficult to engage us, because this isn't the typical style we go for, we know nothing about monocles, and for 99% of us, a monocle would not fit our wardrobe so there is no reason to ask general questions about it. We see it as a cosplay accessory, not a legitimate part of a wardrobe, because it is something that will only "work" with one very specific style because of societal connotations built around it.

>>7957112
Stopped halfway through the second line.

I'm not going to read anything you write anymore and this is the last time I'm going to reply. If there were ids on /fa/, I'd filter you out.

Monocles have legitimate uses but certainly not for everyday wear.

For example far-sighted military personnel use them to help focus on the sights of a gun.

I can't wear monocle since both my eyes are bad :'(

I mean let's face it, you're wearing costume wear. all of the pictures you posted don't look like people wearing a "menswear" accessory; they look like they're wearing a fucking Halloween costume

as harsh as >>7956643 comes off, he's right.

source: in junior year in high school I prided myself on being classy. I wasn't a neckbeard, and the clothes I wore (chinos, oxfords, etc.) looked alright on me, but it's a time I look back on and cringe

>>7960111
I mean take >>7959297 for example. look at his face.

look at the whole picture closely.

do you think he thinks he looks good?

>>7960111
>how can you honestly think this looks good OP?

You're attacking a straw man. I challenge you to quote one post of mine where I claimed this looked good. All I said was that I enjoy wearing it and that I couldn't care less about what other people think of me. If they're going to judge me based off it instead of getting to know me, they're not the kind of person I'd want to be friends with in the first place. In a way it's like a douchebag repellant.

>I mean let's face it, you're wearing costume wear.

You are incorrect. From Wikipedia: "A monocle is a type of corrective lens used to correct or enhance the vision in only one eye. It consists of a circular lens, generally with a wire ring around the circumference that can be attached to a string or wire. The other end of the string is then connected to the wearer's clothing to avoid losing the monocle. The antiquarian Philipp von Stosch wore a monocle in Rome in the 1720s, in order to closely examine engravings and antique engraved gems, but the monocle did not become an article of gentlemen's apparel until the nineteenth century. It was introduced by the dandy's quizzing glass of the 1790s, as a sense of high fashion."

>all of the pictures you posted don't look like people wearing a "menswear" accessory; they look like they're wearing a fucking Halloween costume

I don't think so, because other than their eyepiece their clothing is completely normal. Not a costume.

>as harsh as >>7956643 comes off, he's right

I've already addressed his post.

>source: in junior year in high school I prided myself on being classy. I wasn't a neckbeard, and the clothes I wore (chinos, oxfords, etc.) looked alright on me, but it's a time I look back on and cringe

Again, you're a attacking a straw man. I did not once say I'm trying to look classy, and I even said earlier that the stereotypical neckbeard look is not what I am trying to get out of this.

if you're not trying to look classy, what the hell are you going for?

look, I understand you want to be special snowflake, I think to some degree most of us do on this board, but wearing a monocle is going to give a vibe I don't think you want to radiate

You realize you can wear things for reasons besides what other people think of you, right? Glasses make my ears itch, contacts make my eyes dry, I only have vision problems in one eye, prince nez glasses make my nose feel weird, etc.

>look, I understand you want to be special snowflake, I think to some degree most of us do on this board, but wearing a monocle is going to give a vibe I don't think you want to radiate

Doesn't bother me. I've been wearing a monocle for over four years. I have great friends and great people in my life, so if it was actually going to fuck shit up to the degree you imply it would have done it already.

>what, are you saying you look better wearing this? you don't. this whole idea is extremely bourgeois and tacky

No, I did not say that once. I was asking you to quote me saying I did because you had attacked me earlier as if I have, when I did not.

>>7960225
Maymays.

>>7960658
Yeah, not gonna work. Just check out the /r/monocle subreddit; there has literally been less than 5 posts in the past 5 years.

>>7960133

> You're attacking a straw man. I challenge you to quote one post of mine where I claimed this looked good. All I said was that I enjoy wearing it and that I couldn't care less about what other people think of me. If they're going to judge me based off it instead of getting to know me, they're not the kind of person I'd want to be friends with in the first place. In a way it's like a douchebag repellant.

I'm going to judge you and think you're an autist I have no interest in getting to know just as if you were wearing a MLP t-shirt or a precious shit over your head.

I guess that makes me a douchebag.

However, you can keep enjoying your monocle, you're in your right.

>>7960740
The beauty of this is that I don't have to judge you to know that you're a giant fucking douchebag asshole, because you've made it painfully clear for everybody to see.

Why won't the mods just delete this thread. It's fucking painful to watch.

Christ man you've been bumping your own thread for a full 24 hours now, do you have literally no life, like that's ridiculous levels of pathetic. People have actually tried being nice to you but you've been nothing but hostile, and quite frankly you've been coming off as an autistic try hard asshole. Like why do you have to end every post with "good day to you" and shit, that's like the most fedora-esque passive aggressive thing someone can do.

You will not find any people who enjoy monocles on /fa/, you should know that after 24 hours worth of posts containing nothing but ridicule. There is no longer any reason for you to be here other than craving attention. But then again, you wear a monocle so we should have known you're an attention whore from the start.

Good day to you too, you great sperging asshole

You're on the wrong board. Go away.

How does a fucking monocle stay in your eye like that, that's what I don't get.

>>7961464
Good question! The weight of your brow holds the monocle in place against your upper cheek, as long as you don't raise your eyebrow it stays firmly in place. Only takes a couple minutes to get used to it and it will never fall unless you trip or something.

>>7961682
It's because you really are though, or you're autistic. And that's not an insult, just an observation. Everyone here thinks monocles are props, but you think otherwise. Until you post a picture wearing a monocle, we will continue to believe that, because the photos you dumped confirm my belief that monocles are prop jewelry.

There's been at least three of us asking, so one of us could be. Seriously though, this is the board's culture. Back yourself up with evidence you can pull off a look, or just go away. Live your life, but understand no one here thinks monocles are okay to wear.

>The monocle.

A monocle is a type of corrective lens used to correct or enhance the vision in only one eye. It consists of a circular lens, generally with a wire ring around the circumference that can be attached to a string or wire. The other end of the string is then connected to the wearer's clothing to avoid losing the monocle. The antiquarian Philipp von Stosch wore a monocle in Rome in the 1720s, in order to closely examine engravings and antique engraved gems, but the monocle did not become an article of gentlemen's apparel until the nineteenth century. It was introduced by the dandy's quizzing glass of the 1790s, as a sense of high fashion.

Cont...

>>7962830
There are three styles of monocles. The first style consists of a simple loop of metal with a lens which was slotted into the eye orbit. These were the first monocles worn in England and could be found from the 1830s onwards. The second style, which was developed in the 1890s, was the most elaborate, consisting of a frame with a raised edge-like extension known as the gallery.[1] The gallery was designed to help secure the monocle in place by raising it out of the eye orbit slightly, so that the eyelashes could not jar it. Monocles with galleries were often the most expensive. The very wealthy would have the frames custom-made to fit their own eye sockets. A sub-category of the galleried monocle was the "sprung gallery", where the gallery was replaced by an incomplete circle of flattened, ridged wire supported by three posts. The ends were pulled together, the monocle was placed in the eye orbit, and the ends released, causing the gallery to spring out and keep the monocle in place. The third style of monocle was frameless. This consisted of a cut piece of glass, with a serrated edge to provide a grip and sometimes a hole drilled into one side for a cord. Often the frameless monocle had no cord and would be worn freely. This style was popular at the beginning of the 20th century as they could be cut to fit any shape eye orbit cheaply, without the cost of a customized frame.

Cont...

>>7962840
It is a myth that monocles were uncomfortable to wear. If they were customised then they could be worn securely with no effort, though periodic adjustment is a fact of life for monocle wearers to keep the monocle from popping, as can be seen in films featuring Erich von Stroheim. Often only the rich could afford to have them custom-manufactured and the poor had to settle for poorly-fitted monocles that were less comfortable and less secure. The popular perception was (and still is) that a monocle could easily fall off with the wrong facial expression. This is true to an extent, as raising the eyebrow too far will allow the monocle to fall.

A once-standard comedic device exploits this: an upper-class gentleman makes a shocked expression in response to some event, and his monocle falls into his drink, smashes into pieces on the floor, etc. In visual media, the monocle might also be illustrated, or visually captured mid-flight, with some slack to the string as the glass travels downward.

The quizzing glass should not be confused with a monocle since it is held to one's eye with a handle, in a similar fashion to a lorgnette, and not by the eye socket itself.

Cont...

>>7962848
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the monocle was generally associated with wealthy upper-class men. Combined with a morning coat and a top-hat, the monocle completed the costume of the stereotypical 1890s capitalist. Monocles were also stereotypical accessories of German military officers from this period; especially from World War I and World War II. German military officers who are actually known to have worn a monocle include Hans Krebs, Werner von Fritsch, Erich Ludendorff, Walter Model, Walter von Reichenau, Hans von Seeckt,[7] and Hugo Sperrle.

Monocles were most prevalent in the late 19th century but are rarely worn today. This is due in large part to advances in optometry which allow for better measurement of refractive error, so that glasses and contact lenses can be prescribed with different strengths in each eye, and also in reaction to the stereotypes that became associated with them. Another significant contribution to the decline of the monocle is that some health organisations (specifically Britain's National Health Service, but possibly others, in their local contexts) would not fund prescriptions for monocles, even when the prescribing optometrist recommended a monocle.

The monocle did, however, garner a following in the stylish lesbian circles of the earlier 20th century, with lesbians donning a monocle for effect. Such women included Una Lady Troubridge, Radclyffe Hall, and Weimar German reporter Sylvia von Harden (the painting Portrait of the Journalist Sylvia Von Harden by German expressionist painter Otto Dix depicts its subject sporting a monocle).

Cont...

>>7962860
Some famous figures who wore a monocle include the British politicians, Joseph Chamberlain, his son Austen, Henry Chaplin, and Angus Maude. Percy Toplis the The Monocled Mutineer, founder of Pakistan Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Portuguese President António de Spínola, filmmakers Fritz Lang, and Erich Von Stroheim, prominent 19th-century Portuguese writer Eça de Queiroz, Soviet writer Mikhail Bulgakov, actor Conrad Veidt, Dadaists Tristan Tzara, and Raoul Hausmann, esotericist Julius Evola, French collaborationist politician Louis Darquier de Pellepoix, criminal Percy Toplis, Poet laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson, singer Richard Tauber, diplomat Christopher Ewart-Biggs (a smoked-glass monocle, to disguise his glass eye), Major Johnnie Cradock, actors Ralph Lynn and George Arliss and Martyn Green, and Karl Marx. In another vein, G. E. M. Anscombe was one of only a few noted women who occasionally wore a monocle.[8] Famous wearers of the 21st century so far include astronomer Sir Patrick Moore, and former boxer Chris Eubank. Abstract expressionist painter Barnett Newman wore a monocle mainly for getting a closer look at artworks. Richard Tauber wore a monocle to mask a squint in one eye.

Still didn't find another monocle wearer to discuss this with, and ended up getting impersonated by somebody who was probably replying to themselves. And the thread got spammed with pictures of a guy smelling farts.

Hello, fellow monocle wearer!

I don't match mine with stuff, really. I tend to just wear it with whatever I'm wearing, and that usually means jeans and a shirt, sometimes a jacket. Nothing fancy tbh. I have a gold rimmed monocle at 4x mag and a silver rimmed monocle at 2x mag. I also have a black rimmed monocle at 0x mag which I don't wear anymore. What about you? How'd you start wearing them?

I am short-sighted in both eyes. What's the point in wearing glasses that only fix on eye?

>>7963636
Monocles are useful if you only need to correct the vision in a single eye, like me. My left eye is better than 20/20, my right eye can't see shit. Glasses make my ears itch and contacts make my eyes try. The monocle seriously is the most practical option for me.

Wonder why he switches between the two.

This was by far the best post in this entire thread.

Gold rimmed 2.5x mag 37mm modern monocle with a black lanyard in a leather & velcro case. Perfect to put in your pocket and take out for a couple seconds to read labels or sign a paper.

What else could you ask for?

Monocle eyewear stores online if anybody is interested. Nearsights is the best, themonocleshop is also good if you want a very specif lens and the other site I haven't explored but do know they specialize in monocles.

http://www.nearsights.com/
http://www.themonocleshop.com/
http://www.monocles.com.au/

If you spend $50 you could literally have a nice modern monocle in your mail within 2 weeks. Do it guys.

>>7964644
Pic related, a classic silver 37mm 2x mag monocle from nearsights w/ black lanyard in a case. Only $50. Somebody buy it and get into monocles.

This is a combat monocle with a thick frame and reenforced lens, designed for soldiers, firefighters, or any other job that an ordinary monocle may break.

Hmm.. 300 posts and yet to have a discussion with another monocle wearer. Perhaps I really am the only one after all.

then go away. If you're not open to critique (which we can't even give you because you won't post yourself and we have to look at the frankly awful pictures you posted) then you have the wrong mindset for this board.

I 'm open to critique as long as there is reason for it. I'm not open to insults. There isn't reason to call somebody an ugly autistic neckbeard because you're pissed off at their thread. I've literally said this over and over at least 10 times in this thread.. You have a real hard time understanding basic logic, don't ya?

While we're demanding to criquite others, why don't you post a picture of yourself timestamped right now? I'm saying you're claiming to look good simply for posting on /fa/ and now the burden of proof is on you! Post a pic or you're an ugly autistic neckbeard!
>mfw this is the logic people used against me in this thread

You're on the wrong board, world, century, and so on. Why can't you understand?

I'm so fucking pissed! I'm mad as fuck! My jimmies got rustled TO THE MAX!

Fuck off man!
