... I am a guy, and apparently I have significantly ... thicker, fuller, natural eyelashes than most.

Or at least this is what several (now ex) gfs have told me, over the course of my roughly two decades of dating... that they are actually jealous of them. One joked about me being an eyelash donor to her, ala being a kidney donor or something like that.

Also, several of them, independently, as in... different cities, they aren't in the same social group, come from significantly different backgrounds...

They would ask me to do what they called 'butterfly kisses' which is basically just fluttering your eyelashes together, at not quite as close as this range, but basically just 1 cm further back.

... Can anyone tell me if this is a thing that happens to other people, or has my life (and love life) just been very weird?

Butterfly kisses are a thing.

Ok, rhat's ... good...?

I've mentioned this to other people before over the years, and ... basically 99% of other people have never heard of this concept/practice.

I've heard of butterfly kisses, done by one person to the other person's cheek or neck, it tickles. Reciprocal ones, lash to lash, is new to me.

Letting the eyeballs touch is the French kissing of butterfly kisses? If I understand the analogy correctly.

Butterfly snogging.

That's so sweet, it lets your eyelash mites and your partner's visit a new face!

... and TIL about eyelash mites.

The cure for loneliness was staring us in the eyes all along!

I'm... I'm sorry clay. It's not your fault.

Our mites, they just... they're not compatible.

=(

If you think butterfly kisses are weird, me and my friends actually touched eyeballs every now and then just like the image.

Being weird is fun lol

I am a guy and have been told my whole life that girls are sooooooo jealous of my eyelashes.

Yes, they want butterfly kisses. It's totally a thing
