The right scholarly glasses might offput the initial "Lookit the big strongman guy" impression and hint at something deeper. I'm big and wide myself, and if I wear contacts, people act like I'm a badass. If I have glasses on, I find myself in more philosophical discussions. Maybe the same thing would apply to you?

Thanks for the encouragement and kind advice. You’ve given me hope.
Sadly, there isn’t much of a comic book scene where I live (Hicksville!) but I could perhaps dye myself blue like The Beast and strut into any X-Men Conventions that come to neighbouring cities?
I don’t wear glasses, but that's a great idea. I’m open-minded about potential girlfriends – I don’t really have a specific type – but I think that would be a good way to send out the right signals about myself. I have the badass stereotype at the moment, which deters troublemakers, but mainly seems to attract drunken older women who are looking for one night stands!

Thanks for posting. You’ve raised my spirits.
Most of my girlfriends in the past have been the Goth type, some who began by viewing me as an illiterate Neanderthal (!) then immediately warmed to me when we began discussing books, movies, or music, but I think it’s always difficult to end up as more than just friends (sooner OR later) if that initial spark of sexual chemistry isn’t there.
By the way, does your best friend want to emigrate to England? I could burn my books!
