Do dilated pupils mean attraction ?

[NayaAbouzaid]

I heard something about how a person (if in a room with light and isn't on drugs) and dilates his/her pupils while looking at you means that they are attracted to you (sexually/physically) they get excited ...

what do you think?

I don't know why but I don't want to believe this.

what dilated pupils look like : link

yep, that's totally true. and we don't really have any control over it either.

escorts and some 'higher-end' prostitutes used to use chemicals to keep their pupils dilated when doing their ''business'' because it subconsciously made them more attractive to their clients.

the purpose for when a persons pupils dilate is to makes them appear more attractive to the opposite gender. dilated pupils make you appear more friendly and attractive to people, its sounds too subtle but its been proven. for girls it also helps mimick infant, child-like eyes, triggering a guy's subconscious instinct to want to take care of you.

When you are attracted, your pupils DO dilate a bit, which is why they might "sparkle" when light reflects on them. But it's not exactly the same as, say, being on drugs, where they are stuck wide open. The effect isn't nearly as pronounced as in the pic you linked to.

[NayaAbouzaid]

so you are saying you agree but not to the extent of the pic . ok

[MrOracle]

Right. The pic is someone with chemically-dilated pupils, most likely, and is an extreme example. It's not anywhere near that dramatic in real life, but dozens of studies have confirmed that SOME dilation occurs when you see something you like/want/are attracted to.

Actually, extreme sexual desire can make pupils dilate to such an extent.

It is true, scientifically proven.

When you see anything you like, pupil size increases to want to absorb more of the image.
