About This Quote

The idea of men not being able to handle eye contact has become quite popular. The idea is that men cannot stand to be stared at by another person. It is believed that men need to be stared at to show dominance. This belief is false because the act of staring at another person does not require being stared at in return.

In fact, staring back is considered a sign of dominance. On the contrary, staring back suggests a more passive role and allows you to get more information about your opponent before engaging in combat.
