You don’t want them to look more muscled; in fact you want them to look more relaxed and happy.
Monacle is the only way.
Even better if you reverse it so your eye balls look huge to everyone else.
You joke, but my PT actually has me doing eye exercises. Turns out your entire body is connected and your eyes can impact so much if you use them in very static ways.
explain
We legit do eye exercises at training.
Hold a thumb up at arms length, then another at half way, then start by focusing on the far thumb, then the middle thumb, then your nose and back to the far thumb. Do that 10 times.
The hold your arms out to either side so you thumbs are right on the edge of your vision, then without moving your head look back and forth between either thumb. Then same for up and down.
Thanks
Here’s how you do eye excercises for more muscly eyes:
- gouge your eyes out.
- eyes don’t have those kind of trainable muscles.
Every moving part has muscles.
They are just hidden inside the skull.
If you look at screens a lot, you might be doing the wrong kind of blinks.
I learned this when I had to be seen at the dry eye clinic, but there’s two kinds of blinks you can do. When your eyes get overly dry or you get something in your eye, the way that you blink is more deliberate or forceful. You can tell if you’re doing this kind of active blink by gently placing your fingertip in the top outer corner of your eye socket, and seeing if you can feel movement there when you blink.
The position for each person is slightly different, so just try different positions for your fingertip and do deliberately strong (but not too forceful) blinks until you can feel the muscles underneath moving. It’s quite subtle. For me, the location is just below the bone of my eye socket, directly up from the outer corner of my eye.
The other kind of blink is more passive, and is what the vast majority of your blinks should be, and people who use screens a lot tend to not do enough of these because they keep their eyes open for too long while using a computer, drying out their eyes and necessitating those big blinks I described above. The small blinks are important because they stimulate the lipid secreting glands in your eyelid rim, which can lead to dry eyes.
Put your fingertip at the corner of your eye like I described above, and this time, try shutting your eyes gently and slowly, as if you’re trying to stay awake but you’re unable to stop yourself from drifting off. If you’re doing it right, you shouldn’t feel muscular movement as you blink. You might need to finetune your fingertip position by a few millimetres, because if you’re too far out, you won’t feel muscular movement even if you’re blinking wrong. Once you’ve got the feel of how to discern between the two kinds of blinks, then you can see if you can do the passive blinks but at normal speed, as if you’re just a normal person and not sitting there with your finger on your eyes feeling silly.
I find that I’m way less likely to get dry eyes if I make sure that I occasionally do “sets” of passive blinks when I’m taking breaks from screens. I do like 20 of the normal speed passive blinks, and then 10-20 passive blinks that take longer, with my eyes remaining closed for a second or so after each one. I’ve found that now that I have the knack of it and don’t need to feel with my fingers whether I’m doing it right, it can sometimes be a fun way to fill the time.
Edit: this will not give you more muscley eyes, but is an actually useful skill to build if you are someone who has unknowingly built a habit of blinking in the bad way
Everyone reading this comment:
A lack of eyes disqualifies a man as eastern Roman Emperor. It’s understandable that many women would find that a dealbreaker.
To train eye strength, I recommend looking at things. Reading picture books can help stimulate hypertrophy as well.
Sleep with a lot of REM could help too. It’s basically HIIT for the eyes.
Sure but which REM album exactly?
naeh, you can have a fucked up sleep schedule and slightly bloodshot eyes and still get eye pull if you do 1+2+3
so what do you actually need to pull the eye fetishists? (anectotal evidence, not applicable in general):
- long lashes
- a bright eye color type
- do not wear glasses
you can do all of that artifically
the majority of people with bright blue eyes need contacts/glasses anyway so almost nobody can pull all 3 criteria naturally. so go ahead and do your lashes, my guy 😘
Real answer: practice holding eye contact
stands in front of mirror, holding up my eye contacts lenses in their case, staring at them, not sure what purpose the mirror serves here…
I knew it was hopeless.
when i go on dates i’m shocked how many women can’t hold eye contact, and yet on their profile they say how much they like men who can.
it’s almost as if people project their inabilities/insecurities onto their potential partners…
Too much eye contact can be threatening (predatory animals are really good at staring). There’s a fine line between eye contact with romantic/sexual overtones and aggressive/scary/creepy eye contact. If they’re avoiding your gaze then it might be the latter.
To them, you can hold eye contact, so it’s working as they prefer.
Exactly. They want someone with the force of character, however small, to maintain eye contact. It isn’t an inherently positive trait, it’s simply a trait.
Right but the point being made is that some woman who want this, who say they want this… can’t do it themselves, can’t reciprocate it.
Huh. I always believed eye contact was simply looking people in the eyes, regardless of the direction of their gaze. They might have made the same mistake.
On the other hand I’ve met several girls who said they find eye contact (while having a conversation, not just random eye meet cutes) creepy. Granted we were teenagers when having these discussions, wonder if they still feel the same way.
they like eye contact from hot people, and find eye contact from ugly people creepy.
Agreed. I tend to look people in the eye when they’re talking but somehow cannot do the same when I’m talking. Especially if I’m talking off the top of my head.
Watch Jim Carrey movies and emote along
No no no, that’s too much eyebrow usage, it takes away from all the eye muscles!
Doesn’t matter if your eyes are ripped, if you have no game.
5 crosseyes and 10 squints per day should do the trick
Then blink until failure.
Your eyes will be ripped in no time.
I mean… this isn’t really silly/bad advice if you just have a non expressive face, or just… don’t often or don’t know how to make facial expressions, however you want to say that.
Its pretty common for actors to practice making various kinds of faces in the mirror.
Looking directly into the sun is damaging to the eyes
What doesn’t kill you makes it stronger.
Do sets of looking into the sun with ever increasing magnification to make the eyes stronger.

the ‘spoiler’ in spoiler tags actually has to start with a lower case s.
I think it also has to then be followed by at least a space, and then and enter/return/line break

Welp, nope, ok, a spoiler has to have a space, and then some kind of title following the space
… or maybe i am using a mobile app that has slightly different spoiler rendering syntax … ?
Just changing the case on the s did the trick (on connect). I believe through the web interface it’s different.
Don’t actually do this
You’re just trying to keep all of the eye gains to yourself
Let me blow you away with the power of my wink ;)
Are my eyes too good, or your “Spoiler” isn’t spoily?
They mean the guy looks them in the eyes and not at the ground when they’re talking.
That, but also, having attractive eyes is a thing. Influenced by genetic factors, as well as lifestyle, mental, and cosmetic factors.
