Which eye do you focus on, when you look at a person's face?

I've noticed recently that when I'm looking at someone, even on TV or just in a photo, I'm pretty much only looking at their right eye. Doesn't matter if the right side is in shadow, or if the left side is facing me. And for some reason, if I actively look at a person's left eye, it "feels" weird. Does anyone else experience something similar?

Yup, I do the same. I am a firm advocate of looking at someone when exchanging words and conversation

I'm pretty sure that I look at their face as a hole.

muahaha, actually i kind of shift my gaze around the upper face, not going below the nose.

I just noticed this in an all-day on-site interview--I almost exclusively focus on someone's right eye (I look to the left from my perspective).

Interesting question... I wonder what affects which eye you focus on?

One time I was looking at this girls lips... so sexy. She thought I was looking at her breasts.

I switch between eyes, esp. when i'm angry.
