Many would say that maintaining a good eye contact is good but for many reasons, it is not recommended to do so. In the early centuries during Britain's hunt for witchcraft, keeping a long eye contact would mean trying to cast a spell or a hex. This in turn,gets people in trouble with the society. During those times as proven in history, many young women were burned alive due to accusation true nor false. To insecure or suspicious people, staring or intense looking can be an intrusion while others may find it disrespectful and threatening. To avoid misconception and misunderstanding, big players in corporate worlds and world leaders prefer bringing a book on cultural body language differences.
In Western culture, however, big winners know exaggerated eye contact can be extremely advantageous especially between the sexes. In business, even without romance can provide the conversation with better trust between men and women. Studies shows that when women speak among themselves especially when telling personal stories, increase eye contact encourage feelings of intimacy. However, between men it is not the same. Some men will feel hostile and threaten when stared at too long by another men. Some also feel that the other person might be having more interest in them then they should be. Your partner’s emotional reaction to your profound gaze has a biological base. When you look intently at someone, it increases their heartbeat and shoots an adrenaline like substance gushing through their veins. This is the same physical reaction people have when they start to fall in love. Therefore, it is an advantage to increase your eye contact between daily life conversation. Even between men although better slightly to avoid misconceptions. Keeping good eye contact broadcasts a visceral message of comprehension and respect. It also helps loosen up tensed moments.
