Lecture on Attractive Eye Features and How to Achieve Them
Importance of Eyes in Attraction
Eyes are crucial for human and animal vision.
Important characteristic in male attractiveness.
Hunter eyes are considered the ideal for men; they are vertically narrow, deeply set, hooded, with a positive canthal tilt, and a normal inter-pupil distance (IPD).
Characteristics of Hunter Eyes
Shape and Structure: Narrow vertically with high width-to-height ratio; low vertical scleral show.
In men, more hooded and square, while women's eyes tend to be rounder and cuter.
Sexually dimorphic trait (more square in men, more round in women).
Evolutionary Advantages: May have evolved to aid in protection (from physical harm) and to intimidate rivals.
Improving Eye Aesthetics (Looks-maxing)
Objective Failures: Identified common eye area issues that prevent achieving Hunter eyes: large eye orbits, recessed brow ridge, excessive upper eyelid exposure (UIE).
Hunter Eyes Complexity: Difficult to achieve due to multiple impacting factors.
Methods to Achieve Hunter Eyes
Realistic Approaches
Mentality First: Focusing on realistic corrections rather than multiple surgeries.
Softmaxing Techniques: Non-surgical methods for aesthetic improvement before considering invasive procedures.
Upper Eyelid Exposure (UIE)
Definition: Extent to which the upper eyelids are visible.
Ideal: Less exposure is aesthetically preferable; associated with alertness and dominance.
Causes of Excess UIE: Receded brow ridge, lack of subcutaneous fat, aging (orbital bone wear and tear).
Impact: Exposed upper eyelids can make one look tired or have a bug-eyed appearance.
Tiered Methods to Improve UIE
Nope Tier: Ineffective or dangerous methods. Eg: bone smashing, misuse of finasteride/minoxidil, excessive caffeine.
Cope Tier: Unverified methods or those needing caution. Eg: ice hooding, mewing, eye exercises.
Dope Tier (Effective but Costly/Invasive):
Ptosis Correction: Surgery to lift droopy eyelids.
Upper Blepharoplasty: Removal of excess fat/skin to improve eye shape.
Supraorbital Implants: Custom implants for brow ridge enhancement.
Botox: Temporary brow lowering to reduce UIE.
Fat Grafting: Permanent fat addition to reduce UIE.
Testosterone Maxing: Increased bone density during puberty.
Eyebrow/Eyelash Maxing: Targeted grooming for optical illusions.
Filler Injections: Temporary but effective solution for UIE.
Non-Surgical Techniques
Mewing: Correct tongue posture to improve facial structure.
Orbicularis Oculi Hypertrophy: Exercises to strengthen eye-supporting muscles.
Lifestyle Factors: Adequate sleep, hydration, and proper skin care.
Make-up and Eyelid Glue: Temporary aesthetic enhancements.
Glasses: Using tinted glasses to hide eye structure flaws.
