If you look at the common avatars used here the women have much bigger eyes, why do you?

Question

suppose bigger eyes are considered more attractive in
women?

Answer 1

;) Myself, I believe what makes the BEST avatar is when the individual achieves a fairly-good in-depth self-portrait: I honestly worked HARD to CHOOSE the best options where mine WOULD be! :D

[I am honestly even MORE blue in my DL pic.]

Mine turned out to be an internal self-portrait combined with an external one--it looks like the sum of my self: philosophical, medical, all components considered, an image of the inadequately-breathing dead, a way of being honest with myself in regard to my overall health picture, a coping mechanism in its way [just like my nick, I think they make a good match]. ;)

I think that is the BEST way to reflect one's overall look, if one does in fact capture the WHOLE of one's *look*--looking outside AND INSIDE, the honest facts of their lives.

In that sense, I believe my avatar is a declaration that I am at peace with myself, my life, my fate, which is a gift I would wish for anyone on the path to happiness. :)


I think overall the avatar system is fun, light-hearted, and I actually appreciate the somewhat entertaining way to express my more macabre reality. ;)

I mean, where else can you find such a *cute* way to visually express that I have lost my ever-lovin' mind than that pic showing me there holding my head after it's gone and rolled off? ;)

I also appreciate that it gives ALL users the chance to sort through what they value, how they perceive themselves, how they wish to appear vs how they DO actually appear...what they hope to see in the mirror vs reality...whether they like ALL their components...whether they like THEMSELVES...key factors brought to light by your excellent question--THANKS! :D

Answer 2

Lol, I chose the face with the biggest eyes. I think most women tend to like their eyes (it's not like your eyes can be fat, or something), and we also emphasize them with a lot of makeup. For cheeks, there's just blush. For the nose, powder maybe. For the eyes? Eyeliner, three shades of eyeshadow, mascara, etc.

Answer 3

It is the same reason babies are "cute". With big eyes the parents want to take care of them (babies, puppies, kittens, etc.). With women, the avatars try to make them look cute by using big eyes. Guys don't want to look cute, they want to look cool or tough.

Answer 4

It gives the impression that they are younger than they are and that they are open to more of the wonderment of the world

(Ever seen Ariel, the Little Mermaid's eyes? They are enormous!)

Answer 5

it's to immitate yourself. so women tend to have big eyes. why? the whole doe eyed, innocent look i guess. you know the puppy dog eyes... where you just go "aweeeeeeeeeeeeee..." to and so some women like that. and models always look like that. so they want to be like the models.
