    People's eye colour is something I never really notice, I can't even think of what colour eyes people I see on a daily basis have. I read before that women generally remember people's eye colour more than men do. So, do you notice?

    I really only notice brown eyes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,537 ✭✭✭KKkitty


    As a woman I don't notice at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,419 ✭✭✭✭jokettle


    Nope, not really. Unless they're really striking, like a very pale blue or something.

    I don't really notice eye colour but it definitely is an important characteristic of a face. If a person I know walked up to me with different coloured eyes I'd notice straight away.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,916 ✭✭✭shopaholic01


    I notice any colour other than blue - unless they're a striking blue like another poster said, but then blue seems to be the most common eye colour here.

    I dont.
    Of course, unless you are dating someone. Then'll you notice or look for it.

    I would even say being friends with someone for a long time would make you notice. But generally its not a trait you notice :p or even creepier .. look for :pac:

    No.

    One ex gf closed her eyes and asked me what colour they were and I hadn't a clue. And we were together about 3 months at that stage

    No, only skin colour.

    I only notice striking blue eyes.

    Don't know what colour eyes most of the people I see on a daily basis have.

    Different coloured eyes are noticeable, for sure. But, I have a patch of brown in one of my (green-ish) eyes, and it took a good friend about 3 years to notice.

    No.

    You could've punched her in the face and said black.

    Barely notice my own. Some hope of noticing others. If anyone ever asks I just say blue as it's so common... works 90% of the time, 40% of the time :D

    Yup always notice eyes. From nice sexy eyes to weird creepy eyes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭Dwork


    I always notice eyes. It's a window to peoples character.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    OMG...I have brown eyes.

    Glad I checked now, though would have preferred blue.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,615 ✭✭✭Fox_In_Socks


    I notice brown eyes alright. I only notice blue or grey eyes if the person's complexion makes them striking.

    Pale grey blue eyes, black hair and pale skin=golden ratio for me in a lady. Black Irish look.

    I've always had a fascination with people's eye colour and always take notice.

    Brown eyes I've found harder to read peoples body/facial language with as
    its harder to see pupil dilation. I remember as a Kid I'd trust brown eyed people less for some weird reason maybe that was it.

    Green eyes seem to be a rarer colour these days when you look at people for some reason. I always remember the film Big Trouble in Little Chinatown when
    the character Miao Yin was the girl kidnapped for having the green eyes.

    Pale Blue eyes I've always had a fondness for also Like Helan Flanagan from Coronation street or Ksenia Solo from Lost girl, or there was the girl from little house in the prairie when I was a kid who had lovely pale eyes.

    Hazel eye colour like Mathilda May from Lifeforce can often look brown from a distance but a lovely lighter colour with tones of greens up close.

    When there's races with some mixed family genes also I think is awesome.
    African American/Indian/Asian with blue eyes I think look incredible.

    Then there are mismatched eyes, Have seen several women with one brown eye and one blue eye that looked amazing.

    Eye colours I find a little un-nerving are a very dark brown almost black bug like eyes.
    Andrew Lawrence (English standup comedian) I think is awesomely funny but his eyes are freaky.

    I never noticed it until my wife, who's not Irish, pointed out that pretty much everyone in Ireland has blue eyes. I didn't believe her til we were back visiting and looked around a packed train carriage one day... turns out it's true. Anyone without blue eyes in Ireland is a grotesque freak of nature, essentially - and the numbers back that up

    Male and I don't have a clue what colour eyes people I know have. In fact I just realised I have a scar in my left eye..my family says it's been there for ages :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I am female, and I notice what colour eyes people have
    Yes ,nice eyes are the one thing I tend to notice and I like all colors but hazel /green eyes on some females have that wonderful glow about them .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,180 ✭✭✭Sarn


    Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I have brown eyes and would tend to notice those with brown or striking eye colours.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭Dwork


    "the eyes have it" - you can tell alot from someones eye colour and intensity, window to the soul. I almost always judge people by their eyes if I have to deal with them. The colour and way they hold/avoid your own eyes usually tells you everything. There's no hiding the eyes. Unless they wear tinted glasses. Which is exactly what they're doing- hiding their eyes. I never trust those ones. Usually cnuts at the back of it.:)

    I have pale green eyes that appear blue in some lights, actually had arguements over it with exes because they insisted it

    I had a dog with crossed eyes , he was always barking up the wrong tree.

    Eye colour is determined by genetics, how can that tell you a lot about someone?
