Occasionally, in a novel, some character is said to have vivid green eyes. Have you ever seen such a person? I haven’t.

Yup, Mary Helen something from Anahuac Texas.
Guys would fall dead over with one look.
As my barber would say
So beautiful, they would make you slap your grandma!

FYI
Hank Said it best, I thought I'd seen beauty in faraway places, till I looked upon those Houston faces, spent Hollywood nights up in Beverly Hills, but they weren't nothin like one night down in BROWNSVILLE

Yep. A friend's girlfriend back in the day had strikingly deep emerald green eyes, with pale skin that made them stand out even further. She said it was the first thing that everyone noticed, and just about everyone felt compelled to comment on them, so she wished they were some other plainer color.

Yep blonde I new many moons ago. Blonde hair and absolutely striking/bright green eyes. Still remember to this day.

Y'mean like this?



I have. No longer recall who or when, but I have seen them.

You know, I'm not certain I ever have in real life. I do see the red hair/green eyes combo in fiction quite often (Clive Cussler seemed to have been fond of redheads).

What's more rare than green eyes, IMO, is somebody with gold eyes. I have met two ladies with gold eyes. One was the wife in the husband/wife team who conducted our pre-marital counseling. The other was my first physical therapist this year (I tore my distal biceps tendon and needed PT).

Both were strikingly beautiful, mostly because of the rare color of their eyes. It took conscious effort to not stare at them.

I dated a redhead back in the early 70's that had green eyes. I don't remember if they were vivid or not, but I do recall that she was crazier than a cat on fire. I couldn't run away from her fast enough once I figured that out.

I knew a Redhead and she stole my soul.

Mine are green. Probably not so vivid anymore. I once dated a girl with literally gold colored eyes. We didn’t last long, but I’ll never forget how enchanting it was to focus on her eyes in the sun. Dude.

Knew one in college.
Amazing.
Was advised by a number of guys to steer clear, and did. I'm sure it's for the best, but rarely still think about her and wonder.

The Cover of National Geographic some years back. Believe she was an Afghan. Anyone else remember that?

Afghan Girl is a 1984 photographic portrait of Sharbat Gula (Pashto: شربت ګله‎) (pronounced [ˈʃaɾbat]) (born c. 1972), also known as Sharbat Bibi, taken by photojournalist Steve McCurry.[1] It appeared on the June 1985 cover of National Geographic. The image is of an adolescent girl with green eyes in a red headscarf looking intensely at the camera. The identity of the photo's subject was not initially known, but in early 2002, she was identified as Sharbat Gula. She was a Pashtun child living in the Nasir Bagh refugee camp in Pakistan during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan when she was photographed.

The photo has been likened to Leonardo da Vinci's painting of the Mona Lisa[2][3] and been called "the First World's Third World Mona Lisa".[4] The image became "emblematic" of "refugee girl/woman located in some distant camp" deserving of the Western viewer's compassion.[5] It became a symbol of Afghanistan to the west.[6]

couldn't get the picture to post. edited my post and the picture shows up in the post above? weird.

Did she have auburn hair too? Was her name Jolene?



I once knew a guy w/ a fetish for girls w/ green eyes. His name was David Lo-Pan.

The last time I met a girl with red hair and green eyes, I didn’t know whether to stop or go.

No, and no.

Dark brown, and I don't remember.
