Do you make assumptions on people's personalities based on their eye color?

Have you ever heard of Jane Elliot?
When I read this thats what I thought of.

I have *never* done this.

I don't notice peoples' eye colour right away. I'm usually too busy looking at their bewbs.

That's stupid. I don't think I have even encountered anyone like that.

Uhm...usually I don't...but I suppose that people with rare eyes color have,for their being "different",developed a sometimes odd and deep personality...the same with hair color. (as with red haired people)But that's not a rule,only if you have something that nobody or a few people have you obviously feel different from the "crowd" and act the same.
But if you mean that green eyed people is different from brown eyed people based on their eyes color..no I don't.

No

You would have to be pretty shallow to do this.

Even the men?

You aren't a rock musician by any chance are you? I know you do music..... It's just there was this article in the paper about a musician called Zang.......

This reminds me of a psychology experiment where a teacher told her class that children with blue eyes were superior to children with different coloured eyes (she was teaching a class of white kids about racism) - these kids took it on board. The blue eyed kids played together, ate together and bullied the kids with different coloured eyes. She was shocked....

I think guys with black hair, long eyelashes and very blue eyes look gay. I think people with black eyes (white people) look more intense and serious.

nope

Sometimes based on overall appearance, but not on eye color alone.

Nope.

I'm always drawn to people with brown eyes. I guess I perceive them as warmer, sexier. I've never dated a guy with blue or green eyes

Yeah, I heard about that too. Wasn't that neat? I think the woman (I forgot her name) was incredibly intelligent. Didn't she switch them around later, telling them that dark-eyed children were more intelligent?

Yes I think she did. Good job or it might have messed up those kids big time! My brother's reading psychology and there are all these ethical procedures they have to go through - he wouldn't be allowed to do anything like she did.

It really did teach those kids though.

Did you read about the experiment with the students where some were prisoners and some were prison guards? Now that was well unethical!

I usually wait and see what their personality is according to actions.I'm getting better at it as I get older.

I have nothing to associate eye colour with. I'm not a phrenologist either. Well not since the injunction. You'd be surprised how badly some people react to having their scalp fondled... oh well.

nope

To some extent, yes. Anyone might enjoy nature hiking, but i would still say the one with green or brown eyes has a body that flows with earthy expressions. Blue eyes are more likely to be mental or lofty, black eyes internal and contemplative.
My cats have eyes that glow blue green and are quite harmonius. My friends cat has eyes that though turquoise, glow red. She hisses like she's on fire at times. She now has her 20 year old black cat back that has rainbow glowing eyes. I've never seen that before.
My own eyes, labelled hazel, are green with an orange star surrounding the iris. Someday I'll count the points. probably 22.

Her name is Jane Elliot

I don't even notice what people's eye color is.

Yeah, I did! It's so weird the way humans can be so easily led into thinking things and being prejudiced.

Right...

I remember it differently. I thought she didn't actually *say* anyone was superior, she just began treating blue eyed kids better, and after a while, they all picked up on it. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember hearing.

I looked it up, and you are right.

Not really, but it's hard to look deep into someone's dark brown eyes and think of them as shallow people... until they open their mouth and speak, at least.

I have to send Krisptopher up your way. He has the loveliest smiling golden bown eyes you ever saw.

Now just 'cause he's my son doesn't mean my opinion is suspect or anything...(hazel eyes rolled to heaven).

It would be interesting to try an experiment, where a bunch of people begin to treat a select type of people with contempt, (without saying why) to see if those people pick up on why they are treated that way. It would be kind of mean, but interesting.

1) No. I tried to work something in there, but wit requires brevity.

2) Sort of. I like to think of myself more as a composer than a musician. The music I do falls into a variety of genres. Most of it is kind of Post Rock/Experimental and Electronica. Check it out for yourself at: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/99/white_geezer.html

I only use the "Zang" moniker here. I do music as "WHITE GEEZER".

So you aren't the Zang who's sueing websites for voting him not ugly enough?

Ah well.......

Oh, he sounds sumptious! Is his hair dark, too?
My eyes are green, BTW.
What are you looking at up there?

Eye color?????? Okay that's new. No!

No. It's not a big enough trend! (I hate trends!)

I met a lot of guys like you!!!

I met a guy, once, he was from Haiti and had the greenest eyes I have ever seen on a white person. His dark skin made his eyes all the more remarkable! When he saw my reaction (I'm sure he was used to it!), he affirmed that he was not wearing contact lenses. It was the most particular colour combination - rare and striking - perfect for a devil movie! I still did not judge him though...

How does one judge green eyes?

Kristopher's hair is sandy brown, and when exposed to sun and/or pool chlorine, becomes light blond. He got that from my dad who was a blond.

Neither Kátya (my wife) nor I have light colored hair.

Kristopher is an interesting genetic mix of several generations.
He is definitely a positive result of the mixing of cultures.

What am I looking at? God. Thanking him every day for my children.

I understand the current trend is to hate trends...

That's cute.

Okay, that sounds really dogy, but I'm kind of touchy about it because my parents never thanked God audibly on any day, never mind on a daily basis, for me. Their relationship with me, I think, was sort of like this: "There's the Benz, it's making that squeaking noise again, better get it fixed. There's our nightcaps, what are we, two-year-olds? More rum in there, Maritza! There's our kid, she's not doing anything bad. So, remember about the Benz, honey, tomorrow..."
Oh, well. I'm overly hostile today because yesterday I discovered that my parents threw away every single drawing I had ever given them. Grrrr.

confetti, I am sadden to hear this. That stinks, sweetie.
(Large non-threatening hug)

Okay, granted that I am a sentimental fool, but I jealously guard everything little drawing, art 'n craft, homework that my kids have ever made. My bookmarkers in my Bibles are Father's Day notes and Valentines my boys have made. They remind me how much love exists between all fathers and sons; divine or otherwise.

Each of my boys has two or three giant binders in which we sit together and put the stuff in. It is a bonding thingee between them and me.

Maybe it's because I started so late as a parent (I was 40), that all of it is very important to me.

I plan to embarrass the hell outta my kids by giving these binders back to them on their wedding days.

I can't help it. I am a mush!

Another big non-threatening hug for you.

nope. i don't normally notice eye color.

Gee.

Tee hee. Sorry, it's just when you wrote 'bonding' for a minute I thought you meant for your dentures.

I'm trying desperately to think of the most diplomatic way to tell you to "go to hell", but I can't think of a one.

When my dad died, I had to go to his office and collect the stuff from his desk. I got the stuff home and was going through ALL this stuff (he was a mechanical and hydraulic engineer, those people have tons of stuff), and I found pictures upon pictures I had drawn for him. My favorite was "Dad's book of Monsters" I made for him when I was about five or six. He kept it, for all those years, in the business card section of his briefcase. I was SO TOUCHED he saved so much of my things, especially at work, and carrying them around with him. Even drawings that in the present day seemed "inconsequential" to me. He had all the mugs and pencil holders and it was obvious he put all of my childhood creations to good use. There was never any doubt that I was "Daddy's little girl," we were very close and loved each other very much, but... I don't know. Seeing that stuff really really touched me.

Shortly before I was laid off I was working on a project with one of the programmers in his office, and his walls were plastered with pictures his little girl drew for him. We hardly got any work done I was asking so many questions and we were laughing and it was just such a warm moment.

29 years old... biological clock is starting to wind up....
Uh oh!

My SO just turned 39, and he still says, "Oh sure, maybe I'd like a child someday..." He often forgets his age.

Being an older parent has its benefits. IF one has been observant with the successes and failures of other parents, one can make a real positive impact to one's own children's lives.

At least that is what I am trying to do. I am certain, dear jkiehart, you will do likewise.

(hugs)

I hope so! I'm afraid I'd wind up accidentally raising some sort of serial killer.

Ya got that right!!

I highly recommend lots of praise, hugs, tickles and kisses. Kids are show offs and love to demonstrate all the neat things they are learning. They also are crazy to give and receive affection.

Mine like nothing more than to wrassle Dad to the floor and "Hop on Pop". Although they are beginning to weigh too much for me carry all three of them on my back for a horsie ride.

I am a firm believer in "As the twig is bent, so the tree grows."

You don't want to and you know I know you don't want to.

Enjoy your trip...

Nope. That must be some other guy...

Oh, you think so do you? I'll have you know there are no other guys like me.

Never

So what do green eyes mean??

I usually don't but I get it a lot. Not really for personality traits (though there are some that think I am witchy because of my green eyes) but I get people thinking I am Irish. Just because my eyes are green, it doesn't mean I am Irish. I am actually Polish.

Eye color makes no difference if your a B---- or not. Makes no difference.

Brain? Beaver? Bride?

dog

Who, me?

NO, NO. In my first statement I said that eye color makes no different if a person is a dog or not. Sorry.

I'm just playing with you.

some types of blue eyes look cold.

Mine do. So what assumptions do you make? *glares at you with scary cold blue eyes*

That you're a cold hearted dog who is only interested in her own self-gain and doesn't care who she treads on.
Knowing you so far you do not seem to me to be anyway like that - I picked you as one of the three SC people I would most like to meet on an island. But hey (refering to a previous survey) you could be a dog - you can never tell on the internet.

Woof woof?

blue could indicate too in the clouds, space, sea to even be concerned for their own self-gain, except what it takes to build their space ship.
perhaps I'll get to that reading tonight. give me your email kristal_phoenix@msn.com. It takes me at least an hour or two to send one with graphics and text.Perhaps I'll just put label numbers on the cards for cross reference while I describe the reading in the email.
I just did quite a reading last night, it was about Horus time machines, looking down into sistine chapel portals between heaven and earth, programming civilisations, seeing the universe inflated like glass bubbles to look at itself. Cool stuff, Archangel levels of knowledge.
