    Default Do you find Swedes and Norwegians similar looking to Germans, or no?

    I'd be curious to see what you guys think.

    Not really. Northern Germans look more like Danes, but I wouldn't say the average Swed or Norwegian looks like a German 100%.

    I can't tell the difference but that's because I am still learning to tell the differences

    I'm sure within time you'll begin to notice things that are different.

    There are some individuals that look similar, but generally I'd say no. I think Germans maybe have a more Alpine look?

    Pretty much, but Northern Germans look close to Danes a lot.

    Aren't germans more Faelids, Alpinids, borrebys with nordid or sub nordid influences and at least more to south, Central European look; while Scandinaveans are more Nordids and Baltic? They would be also influenced by native locals while Germans don't.

    Well Denmark has many Borrebies, same with Northern Germany and some parts of Norway.

    They don't look similar. A northern German will look like a Dane more likely, but a Central/Southern German won't look like a Nordic person at all.
