Swedes are the most Nordic people in Europe

Its not.

Anyways, I wouldn’t know since I never seen how he looks. Probably just dark haired.

If Sweden has the most Nordid people in Europe then that must mean Nordids are virtually nonexistent outside of its borders. Judging from my experience having lived 5 years in Norway and 20 years in Sweden, the idealized "Nordic Hallstatt" stereotype comprises no more than maybe 3% of the ethnic Swedish population (and that's being extremely generous).

I'm from Sweden and can trace my ancestors back hundreds of years but I have many very dark haired relatives who look more like I guess perhaps central Europeans or sort of French than typical Scandinavians. There was some haplogroup in my mothers DNA-test that indicated something Mediterranean, I think it could be something brought up with the Romans, to northern Europe or to Britain. However our ancestry is still mainly Scandinavian so that shouldn't be the reason they have black hair. Probably more from some dark haired Celts if anything.

The broad facial features with a bit of a piggish nose that some have I would say are very Scandinavian though. I'm from south-west Sweden which is not really mixed with the Sami or Finns at all. Yet those features aren't rare here so it can't really be some Baltic thing. I would say us Scandinavians are some of the Europeans with the shortest noses. Actually I think every other nation of white people have bigger noses. So some of us end up have almost no nose at all.

South-western Sweden and Eastern Norway is where the Scandinavian haplogroup I1 is concentrated too so the way we look should represent the native Scandinavian look as much as is possible. It would be interesting to see one of those merges of only faces from that area.

That's common in northeastern Europe because of elevated levels of western hunter-gatherer ancestry.

Northwest Germans look more Nordic than Swedes. Swedes lack sharp nordic noses which are so common among North Germans.

Haplogroup frequencies can change very fast and drastically in areas with extremely low population density such as in Scandinavia(atleast historically speaking). The important thing is though that the three dominating Y-DNA subclades(R1b-L11, R1a-M417 and I1-M253) in Scandinavia today most likely arrived with Indo-European speakers from Denmark during the Bronze Age.
Autosomal DNA is more interesting IMO and it tells us that there are little to no difference between most Norwegians, Danes and southern Swedes(from Götaland and also Jämtland). With that in mind I hardly think there are large differences phenotypically speaking either.

The most nordic country in world is iceland.
They are basically a mix of German nordid(by father) and Celto nordid(by mother)

[djavulskpungfoster]

I would say that only the Swedes from the south

[AmazingHazén]

As a Swede I can tell you that the vast majority of Swedish people don't look remotely "Nordic", in the anthrotard sense of the term at least.The stereotype of blondeness is equally fallacious. I would estimate less than a fifth of Swedish adults have a naturally blond shade of hair.

Swedes are obviously Nordic in the sense that all phenotypes native to the Nordic countries are "Nordic", but the thing is that those phenotypes are actually much more diverse than people think.

The Icelandics. I have checked all the Scandinavian football teams (only native players), and the Icelandic team is the only completely Nordic: all its players are blue-eyed and blond-haired (or at leat light brown).
