Pupil Dilation / Caffeine / Attractiveness
I am super lucky that I can be non-biased when looking at my own personal data. I am rigid when it comes to what is statistically relevant. And I can exclude my own personal oddities. Self-diagnosis for me is typically very accurate…
When I wander around the city, I am hyper-aware of myself, my place in it, and others.
I am hyper-sensitive to caffeine. Not just in intensity, but in duration. Typically 0.25 to 0.5 of a standard coffee (I take it in pill form) will have me “wired” for 36 hours. Only heavy drinking can get me to sleep. This is not something acknowledged by science, I could be the only one, for all I know…
I take caffeine on average twice per week. On the mornings after, I notice people (mostly women) in crowded footpaths in the city are looking directly at me more often, when I am abuzz with caffeine. I am good at noticing such things, I consider it factual.
I suggest that people drink coffee for a subtle reason they may not be aware of – it makes them more attractive.
