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

  1. Nope Tier: Ineffective or dangerous methods. Eg: bone smashing, misuse of finasteride/minoxidil, excessive caffeine.
  2. Cope Tier: Unverified methods or those needing caution. Eg: ice hooding, mewing, eye exercises.
  3. 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.

Factors Affecting Success of Methods

  • Individual Variability: Anatomical differences dictate effectiveness.
  • Maintenance and Follow-up: Regular adjustments or procedures needed for lasting results.
  • Professional Consultation: Importance of working with trained professionals, especially for surgical options.

Conclusion

  • Combination Approach: Mix of softmax and surgical methods for best results.
  • Continuous Research: Ongoing exploration of science-backed methods for looks-enhancement.
  • Future Guides: Upcoming detailed guides on specific techniques like makeup and fillers.
