I don't get why neorotypics rave about making eye contact.

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I’d hide this post but I don’t want to be able to easily find it ever again in my hidden posts

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

And here I was thinking I'd seen it all, god damnit.

Conjunctivitis has entered the meme

What if we kissed with our corneas? Like, if we'd both bawl generating oxytocin rich tears we could swap them and both be happy

... 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?

[–] Zaraki42@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Butterfly kisses are a thing.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

... and TIL about eyelash mites.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

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

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

=(

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

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Butterfly snogging.

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] piefood@feddit.online 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

This isn't real right? Right?!

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

This is the internet, you prolly don't really want to know.

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

I had a girlfriend who did this. It feels weird

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It was passé when Man Ray did it.

[–] 69420@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Corneal knowledge.

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I do this with my girlfriend sometimes. Not sure how it started, but once in a while now one of us says "hey, wanna touch eyes?" and then we touch eyes. It's actually not easy, you have to find the right angles.

[–] JustAPenguin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Why can you just peg each other like a normal couple?

[–] RedPostItNote@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Unhygienic as fuck man. We don’t share eye makeup because you can catch weird stuff from people’s eyes. Stop doing that

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] DoubleSpace@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Just don't lick the eye ball for at least an hour after eating cake.

[–] RedPostItNote@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I mean… no.

[–] werewolfborg@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

My roommate is always complaining about his contacts drying or running out of new ones, and every time I cringe a little bit because I hate things touching my eyes. Even eye exams freak me out, but I only have to deal with weird things happening to my eyes when I get them. I’ve been trying to convert him back to glasses, but he won’t listen.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

An ex of mine would 'tickle me with her eyelashes'. Similar concept but no eye touching. Would've probably evolved into that had we stayed together. My other ex would look at me dramatically with one eye (as if recoiling from something shocking) then switch the eyes and moving closer too. Ended up with her deep in my face sometimes.

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'm into it

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Blocked.

[–] kipo@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Well I am now.

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes.

Where's the eye bleach?

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

On my eye, here I can share a little 👁️

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'm burnin I'm burnin I'm burnin for you

[–] quid_pro_joe@infosec.pub 4 points 1 month ago

Look, normally eye don't object to ob-seen images, but it's damaging my vision...

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I always do this to make sure there's no little people operating the other person.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 3 points 1 month ago

I guess we just don't see eye to eye.
