    Eye contact for more than 6 seconds means either sex or murder - True or False?
    So yeah, I've heard somewhere that if someone makes eye contact with you without blinking for 6 seconds straight, they either desire sex or murder. Do you think this is true?

    Sorry if I put this in the wrong place but I really have no clue what this category is xD

    Maybe they're daydreaming and just happen to look at you. Happens to me all the time. Awkward as **** when I realize I've been staring at someone intensely without even realizing.

    This is untrue.
    Whenever I talk to someone I almost always give them eye contact, All it means is that I'm engaged to the conversation and it's polite (although I do find it awkward)

    It's definitely not something related to day dreaming or such. It's not exactly on purpose because it's on a subconscious level. Tbh, I don't really believe it xD

    What I think it means when it says eye contact, is when you aren't talking, just staring. It's kinda creepy xD

    This :sogood: probably means you should run.
    But probably this too, :perv::sexface:

    I believe this is a mating call performed by chickens. Maybe it is an imitation

    I kept really good eye contact at my last interview...perhaps I should be worried that I was offered the job now!

    Now, now. Be exact.

    5.7 seconds of an intense, unflinching stare = run for your life, he has a weapon in his pocket :eek:
    6.3 seconds of an intense, unflinching stare = he has a metaphorical weapon that appears to be in his pocket :sexface:
