To them, you can hold eye contact, so it’s working as they prefer.

TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 weeks agowhen 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…

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.

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.
