In my opinion you can't...
@AKBAN: by the way, I too wear glasses.
I wear glasses. A-lot of people consider me tough. Some say I look cold, ruthless, heartless, and "have eyes that can peel paint".
In fact it's just the opposite. I am an extremely nice guy with a sensitive side when it comes to certain things. I try to get a-long with everyone.
But... I am a supposedly ruthless fighter. Supposedly. I don't think so.
So, ya, I suppose you can look tough while wearing glasses. The only problem is that people judge. People judge before they get to know. It is just human nature.
And as a fighter and martial artist the first rule is:
NEVER JUDGE YOUR OPPONENT BASED ON LOOKS.
EDIT: Hooray RR Mishima lol!
Yes and no. You are defining tough as in physically imposing, and I haven’t really met a man in glasses that I felt was physically threatening. However, I have met guys that were imposing due to the look of intelligence and class that were wearing glasses. So different kind of ‘tough’, but yes you can be an alpha with glasses.
I've seen a couple of people who wear glasses that look very tough. I don't judge by their glasses but by how they carry themselves. I know many people who are really tough and good fighters who wear glasses. I personally wear them and have had a lot of people think that I looked very imposing and somewhat scary. I personally don't think that about myself, but I've been told quite a few times that I look imposing even with my glasses.
Clark Kent wasn't going for tough. I don't go around looking for people to mess, so to answer that question no. That's not a good outlook to have. Keep your head up and don't look for fights. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Always expect the best in people, but never let anyone take advantage of your loved ones.
Yes, I wear glasses and I was considered one of the most ruthless fighters in the absolute worst school in Cincinnati and I had people tremble when I walked past them.

Good question. wearing glasses makes u look educated and business like and hence not threatning
Nope
