    There is definitely more Dinarid and Alpine in Greece than that. I would say more like 45% Mediterranean (often mixed with Dinarid and Alpine), and the remainder is split mostly between Dinarid and Alpine with smaller percentages of Armenoid, Gorid, Orientalid, Baltid and other non-native Greek types.

    And why did you change your percentages (opinions)? This makes you hard to believe.

    Unbelievable.
    Saying Greeks look Middle Eastern doesn’t imply hate unless the person saying that also hates Middle Eastern people. For all you know he could like the Middle East and it’s history (like myself). He exaggerates a little bit, but I agree there is a visible overlap between Greeks and Middle Eastern people.

    Since there’s an overlap, the answer cannot just be a plain “nope”. Somewhat is a better answer imo, because it’s just as hard to say yes completely. Greeks look somewhere in between the general European look and the general Middle Eastern look. Same thing with Italians and European-Jews.

    Btw Dinarid is arguably descended from Armenoid or vice-versa, they are cousin phenotypes. To say a Greek Dinaro-Med looks entirely different from a Kurdish Armenoid is like exaggerating the difference between a Faelid and Baltid. To the eyes of an uneducated person on phenotypes (which is most people in the world), they look about the same.

    Some Greeks do look middle eastern, Georgios Giakoumakis for example.

    Even that guy being used as a “Middle Eastern” person, is very misleading. He looks more Indian/Pakistani.

    It seems like the vast majority of members on this forum completely exaggerate the way Middle Eastern people actually look to make them seem more brown than they really are. Levant Arabs, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Anatolians, Armenians, etc. are NOT typically as brown like this guy unless they are tanned from their environment (like Greeks). Arabians, Yemenis and Arab-Iraqis are a different story, but still this guys’s face is too large, robust and round for the average Arabian and gives more Indian vibes.

    It's a rare look when you walk in the streets of Athens or anywhere in Greece. Not that rare in Crete for example. He looks like a Cypriot/Cretan native - with high levantine admixture.
    “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Eph. 6:12

    Definition of untrustworthy and loose character are those that don't believe in God.
