You look very Western to me, so not really, Welsh & English(would've been my first guesses)although some morons have said I look Russian & Polish but I suppose the jackasses think that long faces, pointy noses & blue eyes are the norm there:tsk:

You'd pass better in Ukraine but I would say that overall you look sort of Western to me.

With a shaved head possibly, a lot of people look Slavic with shaved heads.

Maybe I have more of a Western Slavic look-Czech, Slovak, and Polish???

Russians are the most diverse Europeans, you can find a lot different looks among them. Yes you could pass as being Russian.

Very interesting. I think I have some distant Russian ancestry and possibly Western Slavic through Germany.

YAAY! Another Pan-Euro. Looks like we share common ancestry. Welcome to the site dude. You look kinda like a mix. Progressive traits though. As for passing for Russian, maybe.

Not in the way of "omg he looks so Russian", but i wouldn't be surprised at all if i was told you were Russian. You wouldn't stand out from the crowd at all.

It sounds like I have a very broad European phenotype lol.

I agree. But my suggestion would be also "western".

From a guy coming from Russia there are so many different phenotypes and looks there.

They belong to East Euro spectrum while you look quite West Euro. I mean you'd certainly pass there but not as a typical Slavic guy.

This kind of look is not so typical here, but you definitely won't stand out in a crowd of Russians.

Stegura
02-02-2012, 06:15 AM
Definitely more western Euro then eastern Euro.

rashka
02-02-2012, 06:17 AM
You don't look Russian but you can definitely pass as a Slav from any of the Slavic countries closer to Western Europe.

Not stereotypically so.

You look more Western, as people have said.

Anyone else here sees the resemblance between him and Fortis? :p

Peasant

Are you related to Fortis in Arduis?

I think yes. (because of the eyebrows)

And the shape of his eyes too, it's tipically Eastern (I call'em Byzantine eyes).
