Outside, in populous places I can't walk without glasses. Glasses underline the contours of my person, makes me more attractive and I feel so more comfortable.
And do you carry glasses? What? On what do you pay attention at a choice, purchase?

A short, practical primer that fills the thread and ties the replies together. is right that glasses are often as much about comfort and how you feel as they are about vision; ’s price/function balance is sensible; ’s joke highlights the wording confusion; and point out that the goal (fashion vs protection) matters. The buying decision should rank health first, then how you use them daily, then fit/style and price.

Health-first rules and real tradeoffs: pick lenses that block 99–100% of UVA and UVB (look for “UV400” or “100% UV” — tint darkness doesn’t guarantee protection). If you want one pair for everything, photochromic (Transitions-style) lenses are very convenient for walking around, but standard photochromics often don’t darken well behind car windshields because the glass blocks the UV that activates them; newer formulas improve this but are not a universal driving replacement. Polarized lenses cut glare and improve comfort on water, snow and bright roads, but they can make some LCD dashboards, ATMs and phone screens hard to read — so decide whether you need polarization for your typical activities.

Quick, actionable buying checklist: try frames on and scan a straight edge across the lens to detect distortion; prefer polycarbonate or high-index if you need impact resistance or lighter weight; insist on a UV400/100% UV label or ask an optician to test the lenses with a photometer; choose polarized only if you’ll regularly need glare reduction and you’ve tested dashboard/phone visibility; get prescription sunglasses or clip-ons if you’ll be driving a lot. Avoid bargain novelty shades with no labeling. (nei.nih.gov)

Price and functionality. I'm more interested in how other people look to me than how I look to other people.

I gotta ask this. If you can't walk, what are you doing? Crawling, running or frozen in place?

I'm guessing he means that he is so nearsighted that he can't walk without glasses.

Honestly, I couldn't really understand what it was he was getting at... Does he wear glasses/shades for fashion? To correct poor vision? Who knows? Who cares? ;-)
