Do more Southern Europeans look convincingly North European or Middle Eastern?

[Damião de Góis]

Luso, Bras, cernunnos, Zeno, Zeus or voskos I forget which one I saw his pics, stratagos, Gixajo when he was younger looked very north african now a bit less, sikeliot, ladybutterfly, etc etc Imo they all would pass better among MENAs than north euros (That doesn't mean they all look MENA of course we look nothing like each other, it simply means their look is closer to what exist in the middle east/west asia and north africa)

I really doubt most of those people look "convincingly MENA". I don't know some of those names but i disagree with, for example, Cernunnos, Brás and gijaxo. If my memory serves me right, Brás looks like number 9:



Also i think you are wrong about Sikeliot. Firstly he isn't southern european, he is a polish-sicilian-madeiran-cape verdean mix from America, and second he doesn't look MENA at all.

This is what I wrote : "That doesn't mean they all look MENA of course we look nothing like each other," and bras look nothing like number 9 lol and yes their look is closer to mena (probably due to their pigmentation)


It's pretty evident :

I think you have the wrong person in mind. Your description of "looks nothing like number 9" and your previous descriptions of "looks like a mixed race brazilian" tells me you're confusing him with someone else.

Also the thread question has the word "convincigly", so convincingly MENA or convingly north european. I think the numbers for both aren't big. Even in your selection i don't see many who can have the word "convincingly" applied

Bras, Cernunnos, Stratagos and Gixajo look even Martians before MENA. Zeus looking MENA is another stupidity. One thing is passing in MENA countries, which Zeus maybe does, and another looking North African as you claim. No way the first option to settle Zeus would be the MENA countries.

Sikeliot is not South European but a mutt with black ancestors, and even so he did not look NA at all either.

It's pretty evident :

You like so much to post this picture, where blacks and even Turks appear in it, and only a single Spaniard is really dark as fuck.

I legitimately haven't been called MENA by no one else other than you. Seriously. I have been told by everyone, literally anyone, that I strictly pass in Southern and Southeastern Europe. Nowhere else. Plus, anthropologically speaking, my phenotype is much closer to Nordid or Nordid-influenced phenotypes rather than Middle Eastern ones for the most part.

Again I never said you look MENA (Even myself told you, you look strictly south-east euro) but if you think you pass better in Belgium or the netherlands than turkey or armenia then you're clearly delusional

Lets be honest, the Turk is among the lightest, if not the lightest one in this pic.

Turks are very dark, I know this is Apricity and the world is upside down, but enough is enough.

There are several Turks in that picture.

Belgium is a tricky one, there's plenty of wogs there which reflects their genetics (Belgium is basically the cut off for the NW Euro cluster); but having been to the Netherlands, the locals were incredibly blonde, faelid and distinct looking; even plenty of central euros would severely stand out among Dutch and Scandinavians.

Conversely, people like alnortedelsur, Damião, Gota_type (who is light blond and very Nordic looking), Hahns, Kivan, Aileron, etc, who would pass better in Northern Euro countries.

I think South Euros look more or less half way between Northerners and MENAs, which is what my poll sugested: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...d-OP-at-least)

Your pics could make people think otherwise, but groups can, by chance, be overall lighter or darker: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...oups-From-Each

I can show a set of images that would give people a different idea (some average groups and some lighter ones):
