To know how to read eyes of a person - woman or man - can be a great advantage. Especially a part of the eyes, the pupils, not only serve to let light pass through to internal receptors, but they can also signal what is passing through our mind.
It is often said that the eyes "are the window of the soul" and that they can say a lot about a person. So much is the importance of the eyes when interacting with other people, that according to a study by the University of Miami, 43.4% of the attention we pay to another person is focused on their eyes.
"A person's thoughts can be determined by looking at their eyes"-England, Regiment of Life, 1545.

There are three types of eye contact:
Especially in Western culture, some degree of eye contact is expected. If it is too persistent, it is considered intimidating or aggressive and causes the person to whom the gaze is directed to feel uncomfortable.
This occurs even with animals of different species; If you find an aggressive dog, it is better that you do not look him directly in the eyes as he will feel threatened and may attack.
On the other hand, persistent contact can be a sign of attention to the interlocutor's messages. On the contrary, if a person tries to deceive someone, they may avoid eye contact.
Avoiding looking into someone else's eyes can be a sign of feeling embarrassed for some reason. Also, avoiding contact with another person often means being angry with them..
On the other hand, it appears that maintaining eye contact interferes with mental computational operations. At the Scottish University of Sterling, children who performed mental operations while maintaining eye contact with other children were found to perform worse than those who looked elsewhere.
You also have to keep in mind that the contact time depends on the culture. For example, in New York 1.68 seconds is perceived as an acceptable time.
Emotions towards another person can alter the frequency of blinking. Blinking more than 6 to 10 times per minute can be a sign that the person is attracted to the other person..
Also, blinking more can indicate that the person is feeling nervous. Since 1980, in the presidential debates, the person who has blinked the most has lost.
A lot has been written about the direction in which the eyes look since NLP became known. According to this communication model, looking to the left indicates that something is being remembered.
On the other hand, looking to the right indicates that thoughts or images are being generated, which some interpret as lying, although I would take it with great caution. Note: with left-handed people it is the other way around.
Squinting means suspicion or disbelief and is a gesture that is often unconscious.
People raise their eyebrows when they want to make themselves understood better. It also indicates sympathy, empathy and a desire to get along with the other person.
People who are wealthy, of high status, or who want to show superiority tend to have less eye contact. Looking elsewhere in a conversation is another way of expressing superiority.
In flirtations and seduction there seems to be a consensus that:
-If you initiate eye contact, the other person will probably feel welcomed and respond positively..
-If you initiate contact and the other person doesn't respond, they may not be interested. If you keep looking at her after she looks away or rejects the look, you will make her feel uncomfortable.
-Guys can consider the following: 1) if a girl looks you in the eye, then looks down and finally comes back to your eyes, she is probably interested, 2) if she breaks eye contact and looks to the side, there is no not at all sure and 3) if she looks up after making eye contact, she's probably not interested.
-For girls who want to seduce with their eyes: a man needs on average three looks from a girl to begin to realize that he is interested.
Since the size of the pupils cannot be voluntarily controlled, you can know or at least infer what the other person is thinking by observing them. Regarding the pupils there are several interesting points:
-Eckhard Hess found in 1975 that the pupils dilate when a person is interested in someone. Likewise, the pupils contract when we perceive situations that we do not like. Dilation: the size of the pupil grows. Contraction: the size of the pupil decreases.
-The more difficult a mental activity is, the more the pupils dilate. However, if the mental activity is too much, the pupils contract.
-They dilate when we experience pain.
-If the police have stopped your car at night and pointed a flashlight at you, they have a reason. Some drugs, such as alcohol or opioids, cause the pupils to constrict. Others, such as methamphetamines, LSD or cocaine cause its dilation. Police officers usually check this and if they have experience they will know when they are contracted less than 3mm or dilated more than 6.5mm.
This may seem strange to you, although this has been shown by a study by Larsson and other collaborators in 2007.
If you look at the iris, the colored part of the eye, you will be able to observe some characteristics of the person's personality.
In the image, the lines leading away from the eye (1) suggest that he is a warm and loving person. On the contrary, the grooves (3) represent impulsiveness.
It seems that the person responsible for this is the Pax6 gene that affects brain regions that influence behavior and in turn causes changes in the iris.
As you may have seen, generally the dilation of the pupils has a positive meaning and their contraction a negative one. However, it is very important to consider the situation; for example the luminosity.
According to studies, changes in the size of the pupils are very difficult to detect, although it seems that we are more capable unconsciously.
Therefore, changes in pupil size could be unconsciously experienced along with other non-verbal behaviors..
