Do you notice people's eye colour?

Tar.Aldarion · 15-03-2013 08:12PM

My eyesight isn't good enough to see peoples eyes from any sort of distance, but I often look at my gfs as they look really nice and unique. Plain ole blue myself.

I am male, and I do not notice what colour eyes people have

I am female, and I notice what colour eyes people have.

I am a very eye contact'y kind of person, so I happen to notice.

Only notice eyes that are worth noticing. :pac: Don't think I ever fancied someone with brown eyes.

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

Your face is also determined by genetics, but by the age of fourty you have the face you deserve. Genetics goes so far, but what's inside dresses the dish.

It's not something I notice. Not even sure what colour mine are.
I think they're blue.

I'm female and don't really take too much heed. Though I was talking to a guy at work yesterday and did notice that he had gorgeous really dark brown eyes.

razorgil · 15-03-2013 08:35PM

only notice when eye colour changes, ie when someoneone really vain, goes off and gets tinted contacts, i love slagging them!!

It means that if you smoke/drink heavily/have a poor diet/regular UV exposure etc. your face will show signs of premature ageing. What I don't understand it how anything can change/influence eye colour

You can get laser surgery to change from brown to blue/grey!

and yet a well accepted life fact. By fourty, the way you actually have lived and treated your body is etched on your face. When you are younger, it's just the face you got. Have a look around. Hardness, jollity, meanness, duplicity, honesty, innocence, vanity. All those traits are etched onto the faces of the older people around you. You just need to look more.:) Do you think it's an expression I just made up? It's an old, old expression and like most enduring expressions, it contains a lot of truth. They do say the age has gone up to fifty as life is easier now..

I always notice eye colour.

I absolutely love green eyes and find them so attractive, but I have them myself and really dislike them on me and would change them if I could.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 15-03-2013 09:04PM

I notice nice dark brown eyes.

GalwayGuy2 · 15-03-2013 09:09PM

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.

Never heard anybody mention that show on this site before. Talk about a show that makes you want to join a gym:O

Anyway, I always notice people's eyes, but I'm not sure I remember every people's eye color. I think eyes really add depth to someone's face, and can change how someone looks.

Hmmm, it is strange how you can read emotion from people's eyes.

that seems wildly wide open to interpretation though. For example, someone might have frown-lines because they spent years squinting due to poor eyesight, or puzzling over complex problems, and not because they were going around scowling at people. The expression a person has at the moment when they're speaking/listening to you and to others would be a much more useful gauge.

TeddyTedson · 15-03-2013 09:34PM

There's an old chinese proverb that states, "a man without eyes, is like a man without a heart, although, a man may live without eyes and learn to see true love".
I think that says it all really.

15-03-2013 09:50PM

I have one green, one blue, and one brown.

don't blame me, blame Abe Lincoln and others. They said it.

another old chinese proverb goes:"The badger may be furry, but he knows when his set is waterlogged". Very apt. Very profound. Also, Confucious say "when man has one blue, one green and one brown, man has colourful jocks."

not at the mo, but i'll let you kn ow if anything changes when i hit fourty....

ziggy23 · 16-03-2013 12:21AM

I've had people say to me I look like I've the wrong colour eyes! I'm very fair with very dark eyes. I always notice the colour of people's eyes especially green. I never trust anyone with squinty eyes :-p

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

Bet you can remember exactly what her boobs looked like.

I only notice really dark brown eyes, the ones that are almost black. I had an ex who was half Spanish with these mega dark eyes which initially I thought were cool...but when they got angry they turned really black, scared the bejaysus outta me!

ashers222 · 16-03-2013 01:08AM

I do, I'm not great with eye contact but I think personally it's because I get information overload. Making eye contact once or twice during a conversation is enough time to determine eye colour, reaction levels and whether I should give them any information or button my lips and say nothing. It's usually the latter.

(also don't think eye colour has any bearing on personality, fact is people are generally more likely to trust brown eyed people more quickly, doesn't mean they actually are however)

[edit-I've brown eyes]

Haha that's me my eyes go as black as coal when I'm angry is it really that scary looking?

just very observant, or so I'm told.

The trust thing is synonymous with brown eyes though but it's just perception, they are no more or less trustworthy than blue, grey or green eyed people. People want more than anything to find someone they can trust or open up to easily, hence why brown eyes seem to be noticed more readily.

Vojera · 16-03-2013 01:39AM

No, not really. If someone had unusual eyes I might note that (green, very bright blue, speckled) but I'll most likely have forgotten by the time the conversation is over. When I think of my friends that I've known for over ten years, I'd only be guessing if you asked for their eye colour. At the same time, I'd notice if any of them were wearing coloured contacts.

Just to note, I'm a woman (with blue eyes).

LizT · 16-03-2013 01:41AM

I don't really notice eyes at all unless they're a striking blue or very dark brown.

Mine are just a bleh hazel colour.

Do you notice people's eye colour?
