According to the recent study it took on average 8.2 seconds for a male to fall iin love. I personally think that 8.2 seconds hardly qulifies for a "first sight" as to spend that much time staring at someone one has to be looking for some redeeming qualities.

As the figures revealed, a man who rated a lady attractive held eye contact for about an average of 8.2 seconds, which increased his chances of falling in love at first sight, researchers said.

Oppositely, if the gaze lasted for about 4.5 seconds or less, the man in question was not interested in any way in the woman he had made eye contact with, which meant he did not consider her good-looking enough. Ladies, on the other hand, did not make this distinction, since they paid the same amount of attention and held eye contact for just as long with both men they were interested in and those they did not fancy, for one reason or another, the same study showed.
