The Eyes of Predator and Prey

Ask yourself this: of those two pictures below, which one looks like predator and which one looks like prey?

I do pay some attention to people's looks. Not in the sense of being attractive or unattractive, but other traits.

For example, predators have their eyes on the front of their heads. Prey have eyes on the sides.

Human babies have eyes very far apart. For predators, their eyes are so far apart they could be almost be considered prey. I conclude for humans, eyes far apart means "helpless" and "innocent." Here is a woman whose eyes are very far apart.

"Innocent" can mean "doesn't know the difference between right and wrong." The woman in the picture is a porn star. I watched a few of her films; after seeing what she did it's clear she doesn't know the difference between right and wrong.

It would depend other traits, I'd guess. George Bush has narrow predator eyes, and he clearly doesn't know the difference between right and wrong. In his case, squinty, shifty little eyes.

In the picture of the girl, she has big eyes set too far apart.

So there are little eyes set too close together, and big eyes set too far apart. The big eyes apparently mean "nice" and "eager to please" (like a baby is) and the beady little eyes mean "meaner."

So I'd conclude that "average" eyes, i.e., of normal size and spacing, is the best trait to have.

There is a young woman at a coffee shop I frequent. She has wide-spaced eyes. She is way too friendly, like a baby, and that means "can be taken advantage of because she's too innocent."

So, then, it's hard to take advantage of someone with little eyes set too close together, and easy to take advantage of someone with big eyes set too far apart.

I agree. It's classic evolutionary trait. Eyes wide apart means prey - eyes narrow mean predator.

Where it gets interesting is big eyes (but narrow) - you rarely see small eyes far apart - but sometimes will find big eyes / narrow.

Personally (narrow eyed) I dislike other narrow eyed people - i'd much rather interact with wide eyed humans easy to manipulate.

Amazing that this isn't common knowledge.
