In various [[lookism]] and [[blackpill]] forums, '''hunter eyes''' are considered to be the ideal eyes for men. They are alluring eyes, vertically narrow, [[Deep-set eyes|deeply set]], hooded, with a positive [[canthal tilt]] and an interpupil distance (IPD) within the normal range. The hoodedness of these kinds of eyes comes from a combination of a protruding [[brow ridge]], fat tissue above the eyes, and solid 'under-eye' support caused by robust cheekbones and square orbital sockets. | In various [[lookism]] and [[blackpill]] forums, '''hunter eyes''' are considered to be the ideal [[eyes]] for [[men]].

In technical terms, all humans have 'hunter eyes,' i.e., forward-facing eyes that allow them to focus on and pursue prey, like what is found among other predatory animals. Hunter eyes can be considered the opposite to 'prey eyes,' that is, eyes that are located on the skull's side that aids prey animals in spotting potential threats in their peripheral vision. | In technical terms, all humans have 'hunter eyes,' i.e., forward-facing eyes that allow them to focus on and pursue prey, like what is found among other predatory animals.

Hunter eyes are a [[sexual dimorphism|sexually dimorphic]] trait. Vertical narrowness, i.e. a high width-to-height ratio (with a low level of vertical scleral show) is considered the essential aspect of hunter eyes.<ref>https://lookism.net/threads/whats-great-about-orbs-eye-area-in-lookism-terms.68363/</ref> | Hunter eyes are a [[sexual dimorphism|sexually dimorphic]] trait.

In Caucasians, men's eyes have a greater width-to-height ratio than women's, while women's eyes are rounder,<ref name="daniel2020">https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00265-020-02894-1</ref> i.e. more [[neoteny|neotenous]].

Women's round and cute eyes are closer to 'prey eyes'; however, women have a very slightly smaller interpupillary distance than men, rather than their eyes being peripherally positioned like in prey animals.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8115125/</ref> | Women's round and cute eyes are closer to 'prey eyes'; however, women have a very slightly smaller interpupillary distance than men, rather than their eyes being peripherally positioned like in prey animals.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8115125/</ref> | ||

Scientifically, it is an open question to which extent hunter eyes are directly attractive to women. Research on [[facial masculinity]] suggests that the role of most facially masculine features are generally overstated as an aspect of facial attractiveness for men, as most of these features do not play much of a role in driving female's evaluations of the attractiveness of male faces.<ref>https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0225549#pone.0225549.ref040</ref> These features possibly play even less of a role in driving actual mating outcomes for men.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Across_91_studies.2C_bodily_masculinity_was_predictive_of_men.27s_mating_and_reproductive_success</ref> | Scientifically, it is an open question to which extent hunter eyes are directly attractive to women.

Nonetheless, individuals that are generally considered objectively attractive, such as male models, often appear to have pronounced hunter eyes. Men with hunter eyes look highly dominant and threatening, with a piercing, predatory gaze. Their eyes impart a distinctive look on those that bear them, suggesting they are generally considered to be alluring. | Nonetheless, individuals that are generally considered objectively attractive, such as male models, often appear to have pronounced hunter eyes.

Despite them likely being a masculine sexually dimorphic trait, hunter eyes are also generally seen as an attractive feature among women, with many prominent actresses and female entertainers possessing this feature.<ref>https://dienekes.blogspot.com/2008/03/which-of-these-two-women-is-more.html</ref> As well as being sexually attractive, hunter eyes in women may be associated with perceptions of greater sexual availability, possibly driving men's attraction to the women that have these kind of eyes. | Despite them likely being a masculine sexually dimorphic trait, hunter eyes are also generally seen as an attractive feature among women, with many prominent actresses and female entertainers possessing this feature.<ref>https://dienekes.blogspot.com/2008/03/which-of-these-two-women-is-more.html</ref> As well as being sexually attractive, hunter eyes in women may be associated with perceptions of greater sexual availability, possibly driving men's attraction to the women that have these kind of eyes. | ||

Deep-set hunter eyes may be an evolutionary adaptation for [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Almost_all_men_are_stronger_than_almost_all_women|combat, hunting]] and male [[intrasexual competition]], protecting men's eyes from fists, claws, sticks etc. and/or may serve to merely intimidate other males.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513810000279</ref> | Deep-set hunter eyes may be an evolutionary adaptation for [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Almost_all_men_are_stronger_than_almost_all_women|combat, hunting]] and male [[intrasexual competition]], protecting men's eyes from fists, claws, sticks etc. and/or may serve to merely intimidate other males.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513810000279</ref> | ||
