Why the obsession with long eyelashes?

rfcmvp
I always get this comment from different girls that I have really long eyelashes. Being brown, we tend to just have a lot of hair and I guess as a consequence longer eyelashes than most people. What gives? Why do girls really like longer eyelashes? And are they pointing this out to me as a compliment or are they saying I'm such a girl or something?

Just wondering...
