Iranic Soccer Teams - Do they look similar to each other ?

[Bakha]

Iranic men are good looking. especially Iranians and Afghans. where in Iran people look best? women/men? is it by the Caspian Sea?

Phenotypically i am swarthy Iranid with some alpine/gorid and not good looking. It depends.

Well, I created this thread for all Iranic people not just Persians inside Iran or their view of other Iranian groups. This thread is like an analysis whether different iranic nations or groups look closer to to each other or not and by the answers of members I think they do. Do you agree ?

We lost territory of Iranian empires very recently under later Qajar rule. Borders got changed, does not mean people became different overnight.

I agree. I don't have any issues with the thread, but I was just pointing out how unaware Iranians are in general about other Iranics. Compare that to Pan Turkism and Pan Arabist movements in Turkey and Arab countries. I was just trying to point that out the difference between Iranian mentally vs. their neighbors. That in Iran the level of Iranic awareness is rather selective and limited. Yes, Qajar sadly lost several regions to the Russians and the British.

So Persians are ethnic Iranians, and Iranians include any citizen of Iran (like an Assyrian, Arab, Turk, Azeri, Afghan, etc)?

Yes.

I have not seen you either. What is your ethnicity? I thought you were a Tartar from Central Asia?

I would say for women, Azeri women are considered the prettiest and best wives and perhaps followed by the Caspian region. Men, I am not so sure.

The Afghan pic is way too outdated, these are the latest from the national team

I guess Azeris have both Iranic and Turkic influences

Awareness may be less I agree, but Iranic groups have been very peaceful towards each other.

Compare this to Arabs or Turkic groups. Secular or royal Arab nations have fought wars against each other. Libya vs Egypt, KSA vs Yemen, KSA vs Egypt, Iraq vs KSA, Jordan vs Palestine and that is just in last 50 years. Similarly, all kinds of Turkics have had bloody conflicts with Ottomans Turkey historically. Azeris, Turkmens, Uzbeks all have fought bloody wars with Turkish.

While, if we exclude Saffavid-Hotak conflict then which two Iranic groups have ever fought against each other. We may be less aware of our shared origin but we are the most peaceful group in West Asia (towards each other).

Not to mention the rich, elegant and classy historic culture we all share, shame modern times it has gone downhill.
