I really like Indian mens eyes, I love the shape and the colour is exquisite .... what about you?

Bright blue, the exact same shade as my lovely DP’s eyes. 😍

RaraRachael · 11/04/2023 23:16

Brown eyes with blond hair is a nice combination

Green, like my eyes . I like blue eyes too, but can't bear brown.

can't bear brown. Don't the vast proportion of people on earth have brown eyes? Must make daily interactions difficult if you "can't bear" them.

Green

My mum has the loveliest green eyes (especially in the sunlight) my DS1 has pure blue eyes which are gorgeous (especially as on my side nobody has blue eyes!) DS2 has the same eyes as me and my brother which is Hazel and I think is lovely. DH has lovely blue/green combo so I think all colours are nice in their own way, my sister and dad have brown which I know is usually classed as boring but my sister has lovely eyes. Blue is the rarest colour though so I think most people say blue as it's quite rare.

I was about to say something about this. I find it a bit odd and OTT. I mean I’m
not super keen on pale blue eyes for example but I wouldn’t say I “can’t bear them”.

And to add to your point almost all people of African and East Asian heritage have brown eyes so hmm 🤨

Myworldjusthim · 11/04/2023 23:52

dark/bold blue or deep brown. Basically deep colours that stand out and add depth to features. Not a fan of light colored eyes (light blue, green etc) maybe that’s because mine are light and I’m used to them and probably seen them as “normal” and a bit “boring”

Yes, I think so too.

@IsadoraQuagmire I assume you didn’t mean for this post to sound the way it does

because clearly it doesn’t make much sense for you to be unable to bear being around brown eyed people (given how many such people there are)

CatchHimDerry · 12/04/2023 00:03

Blue, always more attracted by this no idea why

Mine are more green / turquoise sort of colour, DH are hazel and DS are blue green very similar to mine

proppy · 12/04/2023 00:06

Depends on the shade, some brown eyes are beautiful some are men, same for blue. I've never seen green eyes that aren't some kind of hazel or bluey green. Shape & size is also important.

technotstarnotechstar · 12/04/2023 00:06

Really?????

pinkpotatoez · 12/04/2023 00:07

Green, blue on tanned skin is very beautiful too

technotstarnotechstar · 12/04/2023 00:07

I'm assuming from your comment that you are white. Can you imagine if someone said they like white men's eyes. Errrrrrr

Sleepyandconfused · 12/04/2023 00:19

Blue 😍 (I say vainly, considering I have blue eyes 😂)

Boomboom84 · 12/04/2023 00:55

Green, but I think faces with brown eyes look more attractive, it's like they just pull a face together more.

The contrast for me. So blue eyes on fair skin boring. Brown eyes on brown skin boring. But green/blue/grey eyes on darker skin ... exquisite!

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 12/04/2023 03:22

PP says blue eyes are rare ?? Not in England, every other person seems to have blue . I personally don’t like blue . Love dark brown or green if they really are green not bluey green .

shivawn · 12/04/2023 03:34

Green eyes are lovely and a bit rarer than other colours.

sashh · 12/04/2023 06:22

Green or dark brown, I think David Mitchel has lovely eyes.

But I also like it when you get eyes that contrast with skin colour, so an Indian person with blue eyes.

Forgottenmypasswordagain · 12/04/2023 06:23

Blue.

I didn't say that though, did I? I said I think brown eyes are very unattractive. The fact that they're so common makes them even more boring to me. I'm not compelled to admire all eye colours! 😂

I agree with this. I used to think blue but then once DC was born, I noticed everyone has blue eyes and now I find them boring. Unless they are a very unusual blue. Green is my favourite.

You have been slightly misquoted but you DID say you can't bear brown eyes.

Which seems a bizarre over reaction.

Saying you don't find them as attractive is fine, but you didn't say that!!!
