2:25

notice when you meet somebody new oh

2:28

their eyes eyes yeah yeah okay why are

2:31

the eyes so special cuz you look into

2:33

them first how

2:36

you or if they have pretty eyes yeah

2:39

like if they're just dull eyes then well

2:42

then you pretend like they're pretty for

2:44

their sake I think Mouse in my case I

2:47

tend to look at people being slightly de

2:50

I think I L read a bit you know and so I

2:53

tend to look at people's mouths rather

2:55

than their eyes anything else is really

2:57

important the smile yeah smile yeah

3:01

what's the first thing you notice when

3:03

you meet someone

3:04

new their eyes their teeth oh okay do

3:09

you look into their dental

3:11

records no do you like it if they've got

3:15

glasses is that a a deal breaker I don't

3:18

care don't care contact lenses I don't

3:22

care no take

3:24

anything uh their smile probably

3:26

genuinely speaking British people are

3:28

quite stereotypically bad with um with

3:31

smiling at people in the street but oh

3:34

really um I think it's quite important

3:35

in the stand age so yeah okay their face

3:37

or like their

3:41

outfit and what did you think when you

3:43

first saw our

3:47

outfits

3:51

studenty that's a good one yeah that's a

3:53

good one you know I mean I yeah I feel

3:55

quite student yeah something like that I

3:58

think it's me trying to hold on my youth

4:00

yeah yeah cling to the

4:03

last sh last what's something that you

4:06

notice about someone when you meet them

4:10

instantly instantly how goodl looking

4:13

they are how goodl looking they are

4:15

would you say in uh in New Zealand

4:18

people are more smiley yeah I'd say that

4:20

I'd say that I think that people just

4:22

get a bad rip and um especially big

4:24

cities like London for being busy and

4:26

not very approachable but most most

4:28

londoners I feel they are quite

4:30

approachable so yeah good do you make a

4:33

conscious effort to just stare at the

4:36

mouth or do you go back and forth

4:37

between the between the eyes and the

4:39

mouth or yeah well I think you should

4:41

look people in the eyes they sort of

4:43

expect it so I make that conscious

4:45

effort yeah you look at your person's

4:48

face yes and then you ask questions and

4:50

hopefully you get a feeling for what

4:53

sort of person there yeah in a short

4:55

short period of time yeah do you think

4:57

it's strange I was talking to Charlie

4:59

about this the other day he said if you

5:01

look at someone in the eyes for longer

5:03

than 5 Seconds people get a bit weirded

5:06

out they feel uneasy how do you feel

5:08

about that I I wouldn't never

5:12

experienced that no no

5:16

suppose yeah perhaps you're right look

5:18

at you now

5:21

yeah I am not like my wife she very much

5:25

looks at a person and decides what

5:28

they're like before even having the

5:30

conversation ah which which annoys me

5:32

intensely because there are beauty is

5:35

only skin deep and some people have very

5:37

piercing eyes don't they yeah like

5:41

Hitler the the Hitler's there his his

5:44

eyes were very uh distinctive apparently

5:47

yeah he very piercing menacing gaze yeah

5:50

yeah well you have't you have lovely

5:52

soft eyes so you you like to give them a

5:55

bit more time before you judge does your

5:58

wife give them a second chance no no no

6:02

right so she's quite cutro yeah anything

6:05

else you notice first thing what about

6:06

with your wife what did you I suppose

6:08

you noticed the way they're dressed you

6:10

and you form an impression about them by

6:12

the way they're dressed yeah I suppose

6:15

and you kind of expect a certain style

6:18

of dress with certain people don't you I

6:20

mean I was looking at these youngsters

6:21

over here everyone is wearing trainers

6:24

you know there's not one proper pair of

6:25

shoes amongst them and that's that's the

6:27

way they are isn't it I mean like to I'm

6:29

wearing a jacket I'm not wearing a tie

6:31
