Youre supposed to look at a point between their eyebrows. Sometimes i'll work with someone whose got a crazy eye and I hate when you gotta choose an eye to look at and its the janky one. :skip:
:pachaha::pachaha:
It's so awkward when you're talking with somebody with strabismus because I be :leostare: trying not to focus on the bog eye.
I feel like I have to force myself to look at them because I don't want the person to think I'm avoiding eye contact because of that condition...
And I can't help to mistake the right eye to look, always looking at the wrong one... :shaq2:

nah. there has to be a balance. if its a chick i'm trying bed, yes, i make serious eye contact. but if i'm talking to guy i look away. i dont see how any straight man can feel comfortable staring into another man's eyes. i dont see it.

just because they say u should always do so dont mean it makes any gadamn sense.

u need to be able to converse with people and look away when appropriate.

the only time i'll stare anyone down is when i'm pissed about something and i'm screaming at them. in which case, 100% they end up being the one looking away.

initial eye contact is cool

but when a man tries to maintain eye contact throughout the whole convo he is either: gay or insecure and was told to make eye contact to prove you are confident

constant eye contact is reserved for women i care about ad family members only

:cool:

yeah with a chick i get it, but making constant eye contact with a dude :usure:

lately i've been looking away and avoiding eye contact on purpose with people (mostly girls though) i know just to experiment. then i want to put some weight or emphasis on certain statements, i look them straight in the eyes (not too intense cause i don't want to look creepy either, lol). still working on it but one girl actually told me something like "there something powerful about the way you look at me sometimes when we talk..." like she was amazed, lol

I do. A lot of how it affects who you're talking to depends on your mindset. If you're forcing it and you're nervous, you'll come off creepy. If you are mastering a cool, smooth, borderline cocky stare down, you'll own a situation.
:birdman:

i look a person DEAD in the eye for as long as they are talking to me. i make people break the stare all the time. i have MASTERED the art of the stare.

they are telling everyone behind your back that you are a strange fakkit:huhldup:

trust


we had a dude in our unit who did that and we clowned the shyt out of him-
even the females thought something was off about im eyeballing every one in convo

low and behold- his wife handed over his laptop to the MPs and it had child porn on it:huhldup:

staring people down to try to be dominate is for people who feel inferior and need to compensate:mjpls:

My wife says I beast people with the :leostare:. In my opinion it shows sincerity. I'm not doing it to make people uncomfortable, I'm doing it to let them know I have their attention.

I hate when I'm talking to somebody and their eyes are all over the place. Look me in mah eyez B:rudy:

What a surprise the coli dweebs turned looking someone in the eye when having a convo into a gay thing.

Always trying to turn something gay so they can keep their social akwardness going,

:pachaha:@ at these dudes saying " i feel weird and uncomfortable when I have to have a conversation and look at them"

Then yall say "i dont like talking on the phone, its weird"

So you only feel comfortable talking to someone when your behind a screen typing?

Sounds normal brehs, :flabbynsick:

fukk outta here. just cause some fakkit at your job got busted with child porn, that doesn't mean that every dude that looks another person in the eye when they are speaking is a pervert. eyeballing someone and maintaining eye contact during a conversation is 2 totally different things. you can tell the nikkas who didn't grow up with a dad.....:wow:
