Prey Eyes vs. Hunter Eyes: What's your Canthal Tilt?

[Curiosity2006]

"What's my WhoooooWhaaaaa?" Yep! You heard it. Apparently that's a thing.

Hunter Eyes - Positive Canthal Tilt

What is canthal tilt?

It’s the angle relating the inner and the outer corners of the eye. The inner corner is called the medial canthus, and the outer corner is the lateral canthus, explaining the term “canthal tilt”.

Positive canthal tilt:
When the outer corner of the eye is higher than the inner corner, it’s called a positive canthal tilt. It’s one of the features of the hunter eyes. The one that makes the expressive and piercing glance.

Negative canthal tilt:
When the inner corner of the eye is placed higher than the outer corner, it’s a negative canthal tilt. It’s typical for the prey eyes, making the glance softer. There’s also a neutral canthal tilt when the lateral canthus is on the same level as the medial canthus.

What's YOUR Canthal Tilt? And nope, not gonna invite you for dinner first.

1) This is my eyed when they are relaxed.

2) This is my eyes sooo wide open.

I don't know what kind of eyes i have, but I guess its neutral although they have a curve on the end that makes then look a little positive

[Curiosity2006]

Mine are either neutral or slightly negative depending on the angle, but I don't think downturned eyes are necessarily ugly.. There are a lot of other factors that also, matter such as having thick eyelashes, size, how close they are to each other, whether they have a lot of upper eyelid exposure, symmetry etc. I get told by people that my eyes are my best feature, despite not having a positive canthal tilt.

Marilyn Monroe and Ana de Armas are some examples of celebrities, who are praised for their beautiful eyes, despite having a neutral or slightly negative canthal tilt. In my opinion, all eye shapes can be beautiful; downturned eyes are cute and give off a welcoming vibe, whereas upturned eyes are more enchanting and mysterious. It entirely depends on how the facial structure is and which will sit well with the face. Some faces might suit upturned better and some other, more downturned.

Omg That is sooo true! Thank you very much for putting that together! You're the one who should've asked that question instead, your knowledge fits right in XD <3 <3 <3

I did not hear it because i do not read aloud to myself. I digress.
I’m a neutral, but i fail to see the application to predator and prey status. There are physiological developments of the eyes that typically separate primary predators from common prey but the “tilt” is not a factor to my knowledge.

[Curiosity2006]

It is said positive canthal tilts represent ferocity and sharpness in appearance.

Whereas negative tilts represent weakness and submission, to my understanding.

[Chazmatazz269]

In appearance only, that’s what i expected.

[Curiosity2006]

Some people strangely enough also associate it with physical and mental strength / weakness. It's funny and a bit of critical thinking.

[NamerOfStars]

Wrong axis. The predator/prey eye disparity is a matter of depth perception.

[Curiosity2006]

The tilt is a factor. Yes or No?

[NamerOfStars]

Tilt? Yes. THAT tilt? No.

[Curiosity2006]

I'm "positive" you are. XD Congrats! Deep-set eyes?

Not so much deep set as the tilt matches what you posted.
