Hunter Eyes
🔶Incel community originDefinition
Deep-set, hooded eyes with a positive canthal tilt. Considered the ideal male eye shape in looksmaxxing communities. Contrasted with 'prey eyes' (rounder, more exposed). Based on the idea that 'hunter' eyes signal dominance and attractiveness.
Dad Mode: You Should Probably Talk to Them
This is looksmaxxing vocabulary for a specific eye shape considered attractive. If your kid is talking about having or wanting 'hunter eyes,' they're spending time in communities that micro-analyze facial features and rank people by them. One mention is probably just internet exposure. Repeated focus on specific facial features they want to change is worth a conversation about body image.
Came from: Lookism forums → looksmaxxing TikTok (2023-present)
Examples
“He's got insane hunter eyes”
“He has a really attractive eye shape”

Cringe Score
