I think I´ll wait until those things are contact lenses...

Wait, you can actually buy google glasses?

I still don't understand what they are supposed to be used for. As for the question, of course it's silly: it depends on which bar you are going to and at what time.

They are supposed to replace your bluetooth... well, also your phone... mmmm.... as a matter of fact also your notebook.... now that I think about it also your Facebook since it integrates exclusively with Google Plus... mmmm... Oh i know, they are supposed to replace real life! :D

Where else? The bar is the perfect place. Face recognition app shows me the name of every girl so I can hit on her.

And her glasses show you're a player so she can blow you off!

I am wearing a fake stash, of course!

It is acceptable if you want to look like the geekish guy in town (not to mention one of the luckiest). It is not ok if you wish to hookup, I cannot image a pickup line that starts... "hey Pamela, I did a reserve google image search of your face and found out that you use pretty neat lingerie" :/

I don't think it is socially acceptable - it's like walking around with a movie camera over your shoulder where you've taped over the red LED. No-one you're talking to will know whether they're being recorded, resulting in a very uncomfortable feeling.

There's also an aspect of rudeness - when I talk to you and you're wearing these glasses I will automatically assume you're doing something different while I'm talking, which would feel very annoying. It's a little bit like the person I'm talking to is constantly staring at his/her smart phone.

If these glasses take off I can imagine explicit or implied "No Glasses"-policies at bars, and especially restaurants.
