Until I stumbled upon this study today, I had always felt a little bit guilty about that; probably something to do with the whole ’ WWII Nazi Aryan Race ’ thing; its associated negativity and a fear that somehow my preference was influenced by that ideology. But now I feel a lot better about it, as it appears that I’m not alone, and it’s probably a genetic thing.
Sorry, I’m not a geneticist. But I can tell you that that I have at least two brown-eyed grandparents ( one on each side of the family tree ) and one of my parents has green-eyes, the other blue. Also, I have a couple of siblings, but I am the only one with blue-eyes.
I’ve never actually felt very close to any of my non-blue-eyed family.
I once shagged a woman for a few months who had one eye that was half-green. . . It felt dirty.
Only insofar as the same genes are found in your parents. Using grandparents to predict genetics is useful for probability, but ultimately it’s all dependent on what genes your parents carry.
I am fully scandinavian, and I have blue-green eyes. but I have always been more attracted to brown eyes and sometimes green eyes. But blue eyes feels like I am screwing a cousin or something. Its weird,
I’m very vain about my blue eyes, and I do tend to find women more attractive when they also have blue eyes. I find it hard to lose myself in a woman’s eyes when they are brown.
I prefer doctor pepper over sprite, I am introverted, I generally don’t make eye contact, I have never cheated on a mate, and I am periodically depressed. Good characterizations guys, keep up the good work.
This thread supports my yet-to-be-disproven contention that women are superior. We couldn’t care less what color a man’s eyes are, because it’s meaningless as far as maintaining a relationship. What we want to know is: does he shower regularly, can he keep a job and can he keep it in his pants when he’s out and about in the world. That’s it. Well, maybe extra credit points if he can fix a broken toilet all by himself.
… can have larger pupil dilations, which gives them enhanced night vision but, as a consequence, their ability to withstand bright summer sunshine without squinting is reduced. - Think Clint Eastwood.
We prefer the shadows . . . muahahahaha
An increased sensitivity to something as inescapable as sunlight would most definitely shape you into a different person. The body and mind are one. A newborn brain is a blank book; our senses the ink and pens.
My avatar represents what I think is the natural rank order of hair colours. Another flag is possible which represents the same for eye colour. This would be blue-green-brown. And eye colour is more important than hair colour. A black-haired blue-eyed person is superior to a blonde-haired brown-eyed one. According to this schema, the natural order of rank is as follows:
Blonde-haired blue-eyed
Red-haired blue-eyed
Black-haired blue-eyed
Blonde-haired green-eyed
Red-haired green-eyed
Black-haired green-eyed
Blonde-haired brown-eyed
Red-haired brown-eyed
Black-haired brown-eyed
Let blue-green-brown be the flag of our new Nation!
