MELBOURNE, March 27 (UPI) -- Australian researchers have confirmed that people will make passes at those who wear glasses, or as they put it: People who wear glasses are not geeks or nerds.

"We have literally busted the myth that people who wear glasses are introverted or have particular personality characteristics," study leader Paul Baird of the University of Melbourne's Centre for Eye Research said in a statement.

"They are more likely to be agreeable and open, rather than closed and introverted."

Utilizing the University of Melbourne's Australian Twin Registry, the study involved 633 twins and a comparative group of 278 family members
