Now we haul in the heavy eyeball artillery: very sticky eyes or
superglue eyes. Let's call them "Epoxy Eyes." Big bosses use Epoxy
Eyes to evaluate employees. Police investigators use Epoxy Eyes to
intimidate suspected criminals. And clever Romeos use Epoxy
Eyes to make women fall in love with them. (If romance is your
goal, Epoxy Eyes is a proven aphrodisiac.)
The Epoxy Eyes technique takes at least three people to pull
off—you, your target, and one other person. Here's how it works.
Usually, when you're chatting with two or more people, you gaze
at the person who is speaking. However, the Epoxy Eyes technique
suggests you concentrate on the listener—your target—rather than
the speaker. This slightly disorients the target and he or she silently
asks, "Why is this person looking at me instead of the speaker?"
Your target senses you are extremely interested in his or her reactions. This can be beneficial in certain business situations when it
is appropriate that you judge the listener.
Human resources professionals often use Epoxy Eyes, not as
a technique, but because they are sincerely interested in a prospective employee's reaction to certain ideas being presented.

who must examine subjects' reactions also use Epoxy Eyes for analytical purposes.
When you use Epoxy Eyes, it sends out signals of interest
blended with complete confidence in yourself. But because Epoxy
Eyes puts you in a position of evaluating or judging someone else,
you must be careful. Don't overdo it or you could come across as
arrogant and brazen.
