    Ever notice this phenomenon among some people. Particularly British women. They're caucasian and they have brown circles around their eyes :confused: I only ever notice it on English chicks, never seen an Irish bird with them. Looks gross anyway.

    Don't know what I'm talking about? Get out more.

    Tl:dr Eyes surrounded with brown rings, what's this?

    No anus jokes thanks.

    Ok make anal jokes.

    Anal as in pedantic, not arseholes.

    How can anyone consider a 50 word post too long to read? I mean, come on mintaero, it's this type of behaviour which undermines the willingness of people to develop an attention span, and serves ultimately to bring the level of discourse down to the level of grunts. You should be bloody ashamed of yourself.

    Maybe the bags under their eyes are due to the forbearance they must maintain when someone so underestimates the intelligence and articulateness of their audience that they think they must give a truncated version of a 50 word post.

    Argos do inflatable bridges now. Very handy. Saves a bit of building. You still have to get over them though.

    Ah go on, humour me. Are we talking about makeup or skin colour?

    I'm confused.

    If I were to build a bridge it would be constructed of the proper materials and I'll take my sweet time at it! Why does everyone look for the easy way out!

    I'll humour the onion stuffing out of you. White people, brown skin colour rings around their eyes. What's this? Simples. My aunt who's a Brit has it and the last chick I rode has em I discovered once the makeup came off.

    periorbital puffiness is what people get when tired, dehydrated etc

    periorbital dark circles has a more genetic component, is more perment and may be what you're talking about

    Well, now that you mention it, and on mature reflection, you may be correct.

    Mint Aero, the discolouration under the eyes of some people can be symptomatic of many things, some as benign as having a late night, and some as serious as having a severe organ disease. There have in fact been several hypotheses put forward that it may also be indicative of certain psychological conditions or mental attitudes, most of which are, to my mind, quite facile at best and unprofessional misdiagnosis at worst. For further information on the latter I might direct you to a book called "On the Psychology of Military Incompetence" by Norman Dixon, in which he concludes that some people with an authoritarian mindset, or indeed even those who have a pathological distaste for persons other than themselves, can be identified through visual observation of such bags under the eyes.

    Bit long to read, but I'm guessing you're saying it's a sign they have bags under their eyes. Brown bags. Like teabags. Or Army bags.

    Yeah I've seen that, just under and around some women's eyes. It's not just dark circles/ bags, it's exactly as you said - tea bag stained colour. Usually seen on women with a sallow skin tone. I've seen it on Irish women, not just in the UK either. I've always wondered about it, usually they look ill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    Personally I find comments about people's physical characteristics that they have no power over absolutely disgusting!!!! Why would you judge someone for something they can't help? I have dark circles under my eyes, simply from having pale and slightly transparent skin as a lot of irish people do, it's hereditary. Are you seriously offended by that?

    can we just lock this thread already please, its disgusting

    I don't see how it's any different tbh! you're judging someone on something they can't help, how is that any different than saying you find black people gross, or some such. Ridiculous. So I'm gross because I'm born a certain way is it? Anyway since you can't even answer me I'm done talking to you, if it wasn't so late, this BS would have been locked already.
