Almond Shaped Eyes!

I have often wondered why people of the Orient and some Asians have such narrow, almond shaped eyes
I have read that it is heredity due to squinting when staring a the sun or glaziers millions of years ago

Yet there has aways been strong sunshine and ice in many other Countries where the populaion all have round eyes
I think almond shaped eyes are lovely

In China and bordering Countries, these days the fashion for many young females is to have ther eyes altered to look Westernized. Such a Shame.

Re: Almond Shaped Eyes!

As a man who is happily married to an Asian woman, I think that her eyes are incredibly beautiful. Sadly, many Asian women want to emulate Western women, instead of accepting their own natural beauty. So sad.

Re: Almond Shaped Eyes!

They are beautiful. It's a shame they want to make them Western.

I read a while back that the shape originally came from those living in the northern areas of Asia, like Nepal, etc.
Seems it made them less likely to get damage from the winds and from the sunlight that reflected off the snow and ice. That can be blinding.
I don't know how true that is. I didn't do my research!

Yes it’s a shame to see some Oriental women wanting to change the way their eyes look, I think they look lovely as they are.

And I'm the opposite... I've always wanted to look like an Asian woman. So it's too bad we can't trade places.

Northern Breed dogs (Siberian Huskies etc) have the same almond shaped eyes, and according to research this is an evolutionary factor so that their eyes cope better with sun glare, snow, ice and wind.
