Ask an anthropologist dude this is probably the wrong place.

>>3153528
Yeah, well, thought that I'd get some of that.
Still seemed like the best place on here for such a discussion.

bigger eyes looks more childlike, meaning the woman is younger, younger women are more fertile, meaning make more babies and make them easier
