It likely has to do with the ratio of your eye size to your face size. We associate people with larger eye-to-face ratios with being younger because we're hardwired to find children "cute," which keeps us from drowning them at birth.

So, I assume that you're a petite young woman with a high eye-to-face ratio, making you look younger than you are, somewhat child-like and "innocent."

@DunningKruger Precisely... hence the phrase 'wide-eyed innocence'. It's why friendly aliens are depicted as having large eyes (ET is a classic example, as is Yoda).
We employ a whole range of cosmetics and behaviours to enhance eye size, and the effect on males is remarkable! 😀

It always causes me great amusement to 'bat my eyelashes' while I'm speaking with men - there's an immediate and reliable increase in their attention and malleability 😂

Belladonna (Atropa belladonna), also known as deadly nightshade, dilates the pupils (which is why its name means 'beautiful woman') and has been used for that since the Middle Ages. Doctors administer it during eye surgery (atropine).
