I'd love brown eyes. I think they're beautiful, on men and women.

A personal preference is hardly unreasonable, is it?

I love brown eyes too though.

GreenShadow · 10/02/2019 20:27

Me too.
Far more attractive than light eyes (and this from someone with quite light blue green eyes)

I have really dark brown eyes, notice always wanted green eyes, I think they are so beautiful. I think everyone wants whatt they don't have, The grass is always greener, as they say. I've got poker straight hair and spent most of my younger life trying to curl it but it's hopeless!

I like blue eyed /black haired men myself

GingerDidItBackwards · 10/02/2019 20:35

As a pp said, a personal preference is not unreasonable.

I do like green eyes coz they are unusual.

Brown eyes looks good on dark haired folk/dark skinned folk. Looks weird on blonde people IMO. (Then again, most blondes are not natural anyway.)

Dark hair and blue eyes is VERY attractive, as is blonde hair and blue eyes.

My DS has beautiful dark brown eyes, unexpected as myself and exh have light coloured eyes (mine blue/green, his hazel). They're stunning.

limitedperiodonly · 10/02/2019 20:38

I suppose it depends what shade of brown they are.

My BIL called the night his daughter was born and described her as having 'muddy-coloured' eyes. She's now 14 and I have kept it to myself until now because I think he was tired and not thinking straight but I also think his wife and daughter would be very miffed.

He was right btw. Her eyes are an undistinguished shade of mud. But she's very pretty and clever.

Love brown eyes on a man. DH has the most gorgeous brown eyes AND lovely long up-curled dark lashes. The bugger! Grin

vampirethriller · 10/02/2019 20:58

My daughters eyes are nearly black. They're beautiful. Mine however are the same shade of grey as a wet pavement.

YouBumder · 10/02/2019 21:01

My son has gorgeous chocolate brown eyes they are lovely. They suit him and his colouring.

I’ve got bright blue eyes I’ve always liked them, my other son has them too.

wigglybeezer · 10/02/2019 21:02

My DS2 has brown eyes and red hair, ' tis a rather unusual and beautiful combination (IMO).

Honeyroar · 10/02/2019 21:03

I don't think it's particularly the colour that makes eyes nice, it's the shape and the tone of the colour and the way that they reflect the light. I love eyes.

PFB2 · 10/02/2019 21:03

My DD has dark brown hair which gets blonde through it in the summer, olive skin that just goes so dark in the sun and beautiful green eyes. Not dark or light, somewhere in the middle with a bit of a grey tone to them. I find her colouring stunning and I'm not just saying that because she's my child Grin I have more than one DC but her colouring is just a little unusual and her eyes really are captivating.

hazeydays14 · 10/02/2019 21:06

I love my DPs brown eyes, he also has lashes to die for, the fit Grin

I have brown eyes but I would love green eyes to go with my ginger hair!

I like blue eyes, like Paul Newman. DH has blue eyes. DS is a weird but lovely mix of blue like DH and green like mine.

lauryloo · 10/02/2019 21:10

I love brown eyes. All my celeb crushes have brown eyes

drspouse · 10/02/2019 21:11

I have one DC with brown eyes, one with blue, and my DH has one blue eye and one that's mainly brown with a bit of blue.
I'm a winner by anyone's standards.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 10/02/2019 21:13

Hmm... difficult.

DH has the most gorgeous blue eyes I've ever seen.

DS has beautiful brown eyes with really really long eyelashes and perfect eyebrows. Little shit. He's also got insanely long legs. Envy

PodgeBod · 10/02/2019 21:15

I prefer blue eyes, but my daughter has beautiful brown eyes and blonde hair, I think it's a gorgeous combination. Her hair will probably go dark like her dad's as she favour his colouring generally.

Matilda15 · 10/02/2019 21:16

I have brown eyes, I quite like them I tried colored contacts as I wear them anyway and the opticians offered a trial and my eyes were too dark and they wouldn’t change. I have dark blonde natural hair.

My DS has dark brown eyes and white blonde hair. His opposite coloring gets commented on all the time. His Dad was a mid blonde although with blue eyes so I suspect he’ll stay a blonde boy.

Crushedvelvetcouch · 10/02/2019 21:16

I'm not a fan of them as they don't reflect the light very well.

YANBU to like them though.

importantkath · 10/02/2019 21:16

Me too. DH and my 4 DC all have bright blue eyes. (I have green)

I am hoping for brown eyed grandchildren.
