Sus Ojos - was this the first sign of your attraction to her?

[beginthebeguin]

Just curious, how many out there were so attracted to her eyes at first, that that became the 'clincher' to your decision. Hands please?

     I guess if you are meeting women online and only can see from the neck up then her eyes would be more noticeable. Since I actually went and met women in person,I hate to admit it, but her eyes weren't first on the list! hahaha!

At least you are frank about such matters. Bueno!
I did want to keep this discussion thread a little serious. I remember reading a somewhere where researchers have discovered that the eyes in mammals and higher animals give off photons within the eye. Hence, one will see a negative image of a bright light one had been staring at for a long time when the eylids are closed.
Surely many of you have noticed that certain women have an inherent quality in their eyes that attract one's attention. A certain sparkle if you will, some women have it some don't.

I suppose too it would depend on the photo you're looking at.   For a photo of the face only as her main profile picture, I'd say the smile is first and then the eyes.


If the photo happens to be a full body shot, then I'm looking at in order of preference for me:


1. Overall physique.... eg, an "hour-glass" figure which seems not so common down in Colombia and SA.
2. Ample Cleavage/Breasts... well, to me this is what I like physically... although not necessary.   
3. Hair style/length... after looking at so many photos lately, it amazes me how different the same woman can look with a totally different hair style eg, long and curly changed to short and bobtail.
4. Everything else.

Ojos? Let me check..........

Oh yeah she has eyes! 


(joke! - she actually has wonderful eyes that are awesome to me)

[InnocentVixen]

Haha yes, I notice men don't exactly go to platonic areas on the first meeting, eyes tend to roam elsewhere but most will not admit it...


"you have beautiful eyes" = you have nice breasts


In my case it's usually "your hair is beautiful" which can translate to the guy looking at my breasts (framed by my hair) or I just happened to turn around and he noticed my hair goes down to my waist... probably while he was checking out my bootie 


But seriously, after the guy gets to know you and is interested he does start noticing things like the eyes, it's like they get over the physical thing and that is very romantic since if they like something that will not change much in decades to come he might be a keeper!

[beginthebeguin]

Exactamente I_V. When a man starts to notice that a woman's eyes are the most attractive thing about the woman he is hooked. In a sense he is trying to look into more than just her physical features. You know the old adage, "The eyes are the windows to the soul." does have some credence in that sense. 
In many of the more strict muslim cultures the woman's eyes are sometimes required to be shielded while the woman is in public. I often wonder if this is a tacit acknowledgment that males can sense not just the attractiveness of a woman by her gaze but something much more, so it must be a method to restrict her on may different social levels.

Eyes really matter to me and it's always seemed to me that dark brown eyes really convey a range of emotions and beauty that green--blue--hazel eyes just can't match.

 
Honestly, my wife's eyes really attracted me from the start. They almost always have a warm, kind gentleness to them, but as her brothers described to me and as I found out, she can have "tiger eyes" when she gets angry (rare) and they can change in a nano second. Oddly, she can even convey a Germanic coolness, as well as fiery heat, sultriness or 'room temperature' with her eyes.

 
She can kiss or kill with a stare, all without saying a word or moving an inch.

 
Not to stereotype, but a lot of Latin women I've been around could also rapidly convey a change in emotions with their bright, dark eyes. Framed with a mane of dark hair and some sweet lips, I can see how they can make a guy go weak in the knees. (at least for moment)

 
But, yea, the eyes really have it and with people in general, if you watch their eyes, including any lack of spark or eye contact, it tells you a lot.

"...it's always seemed to me that dark brown eyes really convey a range of emotions and beauty that green--blue--hazel eyes just can't match."

I do understand what you mean about big soft brown eyes but it seems not to be true.
One glance at my blue eyes and my girl knows what my true emotions are immedately. No matter how much as a anglo saxon man, I try to hide my emotions she detects the smallest shifts simply by looking at my eyes. Even via web cam. Apart from other factors, the shade of blue changes.
She tells me my blue eyes are like an open book.

[InnocentVixen]

Eye color is just a preference I think, one thing I notice is that the darker the color the easier it is to give that mysterious vibe without even realizing, maybe because you can't see exactly how dilated the pupil is at first glance and that tells you a lot about how attractive someone finds you, with dark eyes you can miss it if you are not close enough or not paying attention, if it changes fast enough leaves you wondering if it was even there to start with, with light colored eyes however, the contrast is hard to miss.


I like all eyes colors but I find those with multiple colors the most fascinating, doesn't matter the colors involved, I've been told it is Hazel but I've seen it in eyes that are not brown/gold too, is there a name for it?


I am very detail oriented but for me to find someone's eyes attractive is a mix of eye shape and "su mirada" not sure how to describe this, a bit like how Rob described tiger eyes and kind gentleness, the default look someone has, the feeling they convey at first glance when they are not feeling too angry/sad/happy.

Yes, I_V maybe you are thinking of chestnut with amber flecks in the iris. Very interesting combination of color. Yes I have met people with as many as 3 different colors in their eyes. And they change hue when the ambient light changes.

I guess opposites often attract, physically and even personality wise. I think if I worked in a vanilla ice cream factory, I'd crave chocolate. My wife likes my eyes--bluish green--even hazel, depending on what I'm wearing or the environment, she says. I love her dark brown eyes--they're full of spark, beautifully shaped, sort of an exotic mix of Asian and Spanish and very expressive. In public, she's rather reserved and in general, methodical and very thoughtful. On the other hand,  I'm outgoing and sometimes do things and only think about them later--although she quietly 'reels me in' sometimes.

 
As a little girl, she and the the other girls in her barangay went gaga on the rare occasions that young Mormon guys, in their trade mark white shirts, black suit and ties, came riding their bikes into their village, trying to win converts. Some of the kids had never seen blue eyes on a human in person and it was interesting for them. Nobody was converted, but they all looked and listened.

 
Not only our physical looks--most certainly our eyes, but our cultures and some of the things we deemed important and unimportant, were quite different. Over time, we've moved towards the middle, seeing things more the same than we did at first, but there still are some basic, fundamental differences between us and how we view things. I think that overall, they make our relationship better and certainly more interesting. We still learn new things about each other, about our families and cultures, years later.
