Dead Eyes

A classic DL remark. What does it mean to you?

To me "dead eyes" reveal nothing - no emotion, passion, animation, or soul. Perhaps nebulous criteria, but along those lines. It's easy to identify dead eyes among killers, especially in mug shots. Who else has dead eyes?

Have you ever met in person someone with dead eyes?

There is no reason for Tsarnaev to be alive at this point. Maybe a year or two to pursue an appeal if he wanted, but otherwise, send this killer to his grave.

Boston gleefully funded and armed IRA terrorists for decades based on their hypocrisy and lack of understanding regarding the NI conflict. They even celebrated when Brits & Irish (not forgetting other nationalities) were killed by those bombs. I have no sympathy for Boston. You send evil out into the world, sooner or later that evil will come back.

Is it the actual eyes or the musculature around the eye that create the dead eyes appearance? In Ted Buddy’s case, there’s a tenseness in the muscles around his eyes that make his eyes look intense, imo.

I still dont see what dead eyes actually look like. These all look like normal eyes to me with the exception Ted Bundy who just seems to be scowling.

If dead eyes were a real thing, then a lot more serial killers would be easy to spot.

California had already against the will of the people abolished capital punishment rescuing fine upstanding citizens like Manson. It wasn't unreasonable for Bundy to believe he could play games with the court system until they too surrendered the issue.

I've heard the opposite theorized, that part of Bundy wanted to be caught and stopped and that's why his final crimes were in Florida, which loves to execute people.

Yes. I briefly dated someone who had dead eyes. We began getting to know each other through a social media site. He was intelligent, funny and easy to chat with.

Then he started sending me selfies. Usually he was outdoors, wearing sunglasses. He had a strong jawline and a nice smile. Then he sent one without the sunglasses. I was startled by his eyes. I couldn't reconcile those eyes with the funny, charming person I was falling for. I just told myself that it was just a bad photo.

We did hook up. When I saw him in person....those eyes were so dark and even though he was smiling, his eyes weren't. It's hard to explain, but it creeped me out and I was a little afraid to look into his eyes. Just so dark.

We had lunch in a very nice restaurant, I enjoyed our conversations. He was interesting and when I didn't fixate on his eyes, I had a good time. I actually wanted to go out with him again.

And I did. Again, I tried to ignore those eyes. Again, I had a nice time, until we were alone.

We were getting intimate and I was overwhelmed by the darkness in his eyes. It sounds crazy, I know, but the darkness grew, his face changed as though he took his smiling face mask off and I felt like I was being hypnotized. I know, I know how weird that sounds. It was only for a brief second that it happened, but I knew I had to get away from him.

It's still such a vivid memory and it still creeps me out thinking about it .

I agree that Ted Bundy did not have dead eyes in everyday life. At times his eyes looked almost warm and smiley which is probably how he got women to trust him.

Ted Bundy was a scary fucker and used his good looks to his advantage. If those women he killed had taken a good look into his eyes I bet they never would have gotten into his vehicle.

R36 thank you for sharing your interesting story which was very much on topic. Bravo. You left off a key part. When you were "getting intimate" and you felt creeped out, how did you end it - that moment, and the relation. Did you make an excuse and leave immediately? And then what?

by Anonymousreply 42November 13, 2022 8:42 PM

R42, I said that I was having a great time, but something I ate at lunch wasn't agreeing with me and I needed to cut our date short. He told me to lie down, that it should pass, but I said I was having stomach cramps and it would be best if I called uber and went home.

He threw my coat at me in such a rage and said to just get out. So, I totally dodged a bullet and learned to always trust my gut and not my heart.

I actually was very upset about the whole thing. I really liked him, or who it was that he pretended to be. I still miss that charming, funny guy who made me feel like we had a connection. But I'm glad I got out when I did. I never saw rage like that.

Dead eyes IS a thing. It's common among those with antisocial personality disorders (such as psychopathy) and there is science behind it related to pupil dilation (or lack thereof)..

Zuckerberg has the deadest of dead eyes.

His face isn't completely inexpressive, just largely, but the eyes never change. I think he's a classic sociopath, with the "clinical lack of empathy" that comes with the disorder, and he's okay with it.

Meh, that was not a very convincing article to your point. Lack of pupil dilation after viewing disturbing images? How many people would actually notice that? And not something that would show in a typical face pick. As it states most of them avoid eye contact not the "dead eyes" stare people claim is a dead giveaway. It's no more real than gay face.

I think of Bruce the Shark every time I see Woody Allen.

Also, Jakob Dylan's eyes look disturbingly flat, like a Charlie doll, in his movie about Laurel Canyon.

People on psych meds often have expressionless eyes.
