Blue-eyed People Deemed Less Trustworthy in New Study

A recent study reports that people with brown eyes are more trustworthy than those with blue eyes. According to an MSNBC report, the lead author on the study Karel Kleisner of Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, asked more than 200 students to rate how much they could trust a mix of 80 male and female faces with varying blue or brown eyes. There was a significant enough response to the brown-eyed folks as being deemed more trustworthy than the blue-eyed peeps.

So brown-eyed people are more trustworthy? Why am I not surprised (said person with brown eyes)? All these years of us brown-eyed people being jealous of our prettier-eyed counterparts and we had no reason to be. While the blue-eyed beauties were out getting laid, we brown-eyers' were getting respected, and which would you rather have?

Maybe blue-eyed people inherently know that they are untrustworthy and that makes them act upon their impulses? I don't know; I just made that up. I will say that there have been some pretty untrustworthy blue-eyed babes over the years.

Angelina Jolie

You may not think that Angelina Jolie has blue peepers because she is a brunette, but they are there, all right. Do you find her to be a completely credible person? Breaking up the greatest marriage ever in Hollywood aside, she's too crazy to be trustworthy. And she needs to eat, which has nothing to do with the color of her eyes.
