Are your eyes your best feature?
In a recent study, the U.K.-based contact lens retailer Lenstore used photos of one male and one female subject to be used in each of their dating profiles. Researchers then used image editing software to change the color of their eyes to blue, brown, green, hazel, black, and purple to determine how eye color might affect how many potential dates they would match with using the same photos across three different dating apps.in males, garnering 47 out of 173 total matches—or 27.17 percent.
But when it comes to our preference of eye color, some experts believe that we may be primed to favor one hue over the other through early life experiences. "If you prefer blue eyes, for example, it may be that you just have good past experiences as a child where happier feelings and positive hormones were released due to feeling safe with that person, and your memory may be recalling those moments when searching for a future partner or date,", a sex and relationship coach, said of the study's results.
Similar to how our early experiences might affect how we covet different colors of eyes, experts also say that expectations set by beauty standards are also likely to play a role in how we look at other people's lookers. "Cultural factors often dictate the collective consciousness of what is deemed attractive. Typically, blonde hair and blue eyes were highly valued and often emphasized and portrayed in the media,", MD, a psychiatrist at Ocean Recovery Centre in the U.K., said in a press release."While we all have our specific preferences, we have often been subject to conditioning to what is deemed socially attractive. The recent rise in popularity of social media only perpetuated this.
