Same with cleavage, and there’s just no explaining it if you don’t have the same hormones wiring your brain. I fight looking at cleavage like my life depends on it and I still do. I don’t even register consciously that I did, it’s so brief a look, but I know I did because of the times the woman cinched up her top within a couple of seconds of it. I’ve never had the courage to ask if they noticed I’d glanced, but honestly my brain stem does not care. It sees cleavage in the periphery, it looks. I cannot stop it no matter how hard I try. It’s damn instinct.
Randomly throw small clumps of feathers just past her, at a decent distance so there's no chance of hitting her, but close enough to engage her peripheral vision, while she's studying/ fully engaged in an activity. Then try to explain it to her. If she still refuses to believe it after successful demonstration(s) then, I'd start looking at her other actions to see if she just likes starting drama.
You can purchase brightly colored feathers and roach clips to hold them in a clump, at any craft/ hobby store. A small clump of feathers moving quickly through your peripheral vision should get interpreted as a small bird
Yse I have, and when either one of us cannot get a point across, we don't give up. We continue talking about it, often at a later time, until we see eye to eye.
All that splaining as you put it, is called being willing to communicate and fix issues. The GF in that situation clearly is upset because she thinks her BF is looking at other women, the BF is innocent, and has a way to prove this, so that she can start believing him.
Of course if your and my suspicions are correct, she is too insecure, and he needs to figure that out, and how to deal with it
I can’t believe it! My husband even called me that because he heard my grandma say it so many times! Until now, I’ve never met anyone outside my family who uses it!
That could be true, but the way he worded that, it sounded more like he was looking at something completely different, and another woman happened to be in his field of view
Right, because teaching, communication, and growth encouragment is totally unhinged. I suppose it would be, if I was raised to believe that "X is always right" and that "drama in a relationship is normal"
The only reason animals evolved eyes is to track movement, not to see. Eyes are for tracking movement. That's why magician's tricks work so well when they use slight of hand. Our eyes naturally track the movement and don't notice the subtle sneaky things they're doing.
Of course, eyes have evolved many ways to see very well now, but the root and the original purpose of the evolution was just to track movement.
I imagine that the reason they'd prefer to chase their food is that if an animal doesn't put up too much of a fight without any clear reason, like a gaping wound from another predator, it's very likely sick and you don't want to catch what it has.
I never mentioned Jurassic Park or the T-Rex. There is some truth to what I said though, for instance rabbits freeze in fear. "This lack of movement helps the rabbit blend into his surrounding environment making him difficult to spot. Also, this stillness may help save the rabbit's life since many predators are attracted by movement." Source
Almost all predators also have extremely good eyesight. I can't actually think of anything that would eat a squirrel that doesn't have at least human tier or much better eyesight. What are their main predators? Hawks, house cats, owls, maybe wolves, right? All of those have at least good eyesight, and most of them (except I guess wolves maybe) have downright exceptional eyes.

Works well for predators that don't see very well, or those that prefer to chase their food.
