So a few months ago i shared with the group my experiment as it related to making prolonged eye contact and my experiences from different situations / scenes. Leave it to Harvard to be late to the game and steal the essence of my conclusion but at least their study included a sample size >1. In any event, i think its wise to understand that the innate reactions that we have and our tendencies usually should be followed as opposed to forced into change.

I tend to look at a person’s mouth when they are talking.
When I speak I do the switch between eyes and angle thing…when someone speaks to me however I generally look into their eyes. I guess I’m being more powerful in both cases…i.e. when I speak I’m doing what will persuaude more and when I am spoken to I am not allowing myself to be easily persuaded.
I usually look directly into a girls eyes when I am being spoken to because it makes her feel like she’s the only thing I care about at the moment…def works, I’m sure many of us nigs here have done this.
In my experience, it is very important to stare at your feet and mumble during most interactions, as this behavior conveys confidence and shows the audience that you don’t have a care in the world.
I do that when I’m minutes away from making out with a chick for the first time. I alternate from looking deeply in the eyes and looking straight at her lips.
