In reply to the discussion: My Inability To Make Eye Contact Does Not Need To Be ‘Fixed’ [View all]Victor_c3
(3,557 posts)Depending on the male and my relationship to the male I very consciously gauge my eye contact. The same goes with the women I interact with. I go out of my way to make sure that I don't seem to aggressive or dominating to women so I avoid making stern and strong eye contact with them to the same level I would with a man that was subservient to me (as in when I was in the military and held a rank and position that elevated me above others).
There are a lot of animalistic cues that we are still susceptible to despite our logic and intelligence. Eye contact is one of them. For instance watch two cats or dogs stare each other down in a show of dominance. Aside from the size of our brains, we are just as much of an animal as they are.
However, if you want to get to the sexual part of it, I believe domination is a part of sexuality. The act of penetration requires the female to be submissive to the male. A dog humping your leg is a sign that the dog is trying to dominate you, not that he or she is just horny.
I don't know if I'm making sense with my argument, but I'll gladly attempt to explain what I'm trying to say here.
