Mesmer-eyes Him
According to a research study in Archives of Sexual Behavior, when you first meet a guy, he'll look into your eyes for eight seconds on average if he finds you attractive. It may even be all it takes for him to fall in love with you!
Just how accurate could this be? Is it all a load of crap? Discuss!

If I'm not attracted to someone I won't spend 8 seconds reading their post. Oh calm down I'm only kidding. I do look into a girl's eyes if I like her....but I don't know about 8 seconds. The main thing I notice is if she looks back into mine.
I saw the side profile of a guy's face, who resembled a cute korean singer, and I was already in lust
I guess I could see it, but what about those who don't like making eye contact, or are too shy to? 8 seconds seems like a bit much for just meeting someone for the first time... haha
Now I'm not sure if it was eight seconds, but this happened to me yesterday, and it happened for what felt like forever before I forced myself to look away.
I hope this "finding" is bullshit for my own sake.
These are not the droids I am looking for?
I hardly look into anyone's eyes for too long. I wouldn't know lol. My boyfriend gets irritated when we're arguing or having a serious conversation and I don't look into his eyes the entire time. I mean, do I ever? No. :P
There is no "study" that is cited in the original source, and there's a plug for the website's dating service after the article. I call bullshit.
No shit....this is correlational. If a guy is attracted o you, he looks at you more. How is this controversial in any way? It just seems like common sense to me. The problem is that the article talks about relating this study to an interaction between you and a guy. The "study" demonstrates an AVERAGE for men who are attracted to a woman, and an lower average for those not attracted to them. This does not transfer to each individual person per se, because everyone is different in terms of eye contact.
As for whether it says he's in love, I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, and no doubt, people are going to take that the wrong way and assume that if a guy looks at you for a long enough time, he must be in love. Maybe he just likes you. duh.
This sounds like one of those Cosmo "studies"...
I don't know. Ahaha I remember my last semester of college, for who knows what reason I end up staring at this guy, who ends up staring and smiling at me while walking opposite of me. Gosh not only did it felt like forever, I also felt like there where flowers floating around during that moment. This semester we seem to be in the same class and he also decided to sit next to me, so let's see what happens. =D
It's all in the eyes. Though I don't think it's in the length of contact, but more so the way the eyes are reacting and acting when looking. I tend to either switch between staring at peoples lips, or their eyes when I talk to them. And I'm definitely not attracted to every person I have a conversation with heh.
Supposedly their pupils will also enlarge if they find you attractive. Who knows? UK Telegraph isn't my idea of a reliable source though.
i would say the whole package not just the eyes
Studies say that the limbal ring around your eyes is what makes the eyes more attractive. [PsyToday]
Well, that wouldnt be considered love then would it? Its lust, and you think you love them or whatever because of their looks... Lust.... lol.. If someone falls in love within 8 minutes, I think thats a little fast.. You may like them, love?... I call bs :D lol
@raspberryjade@xanga - lmao! AGREED. creeper status
i can see attraction happening but now "love" just lust if the man continues to wonder his eyes.
I don't think they will countdown 8 seconds to look into the girls eyes. But i think you'll know when he stares longer than a glance. And i think i found my match. lol

Load of bullshit. Only lust at first sight exists.
That's a pretty ambiguous signal. They might just think you have pretty eyes. People who have pretty eyes would never know who to trust.
I've always had a hard time looking into someone's eyes if I liked them. It's kind of like I don't want them to sense anything in the way I look at them that hints that I might like them.
I've been with my boyfriend 3 years and after all we've been through, I still have a hard time looking in his eyes for a lengthy period(most of the time more than a few seconds) because I'm still shy about how much I care about him. If I'm able to look at him without thinking about how much I love him and maybe just studying him I can look for a longer period of time, but I still feel a girl with a crush and it embarrasses me. I know that's weird but it's just how I am =/
With that said, if I'm not looking at their eyes, how are they able to look into mine for that long? =p
