Nobody views the world in the phenotypical sense like you do. A few people called you out in this thread and liked my posts when I pointed out your sophisticated pedantry regarding this. She looks Southern European in my eyes (and a few agreed). Forget Iranians now. I am speaking of this individual now and I can see her passing in Europe. Please stop arguing about how people perceive things.

She is not light for Iranian standards. Her bone growth and skintone blends in perfectly among crowds of Iran. I can post like 15 more pics from 15 different cities of Iran and more so from Iranic plateau. This girl fits among them not among Spanish crowd or Italian. Just because she gets good amount of makeup and goes to gym does not mean her genetics changed.

Interesting, so going to the gym and wearing makeup makes you look western. You are twisting my point, and I'll get to that soon. I know there are light Iranians, but their features are still exclusively West Asian (just like your examples above). They have physical features that pertain to West Asia. This woman in OP, give her a tan as well, has features that are more fitting for Europe, despite the fact that she can pass in Iran as well. Look at these light skinned Iranian women below -- I'm speaking of them. They're light, but their first pass is still West Asia.

Iranid types are an offshoot of Med not Purely Med.

Again, pseudoscience. My main notion is that many Iranians are not Mediterranean, although some can be.

Western looking Iranians ? what are you talking about ? I post mostly dark haired Iranians and that too Persian types not the Irano nordoid type blondes. I in fact posted a darkest possible Iranid phenotype carriers thread a while ago.

A dark-haired person can be extremely western/European looking. Many of your dark-haired Iranians posted here pass in Southern European. They look more like European Meds than Orientalid. But when we point that out, you will accuse us of "eurowashing" them.

I know you don't create Irano nordoid threads, but you do usually post examples of them in other threads (I'm speaking of Kurdish soldiers or whatever they are).

Just because celebrities groom themselves better doesn't make them western looking. Phenotype is about skull shape and soft tissue proportions to some extent and nothing else. Proper stabilized western phenotype are almost inexistant among Iranians.

This again. You are creating strawmans. Nobody is stating that good grooming and going to the gym means more western looking. Please don't put words in my mouth. I look at features, not how much makeup you put on or how fit your body is. And sorry to disappoint, but I don't have this inferior-complex mindset where I view Europeans as being in a better shape. Not sure why you're implying this? Look, these pretty Iranian ladies are well groomed, but they still look exclusively Iranian/West Asian:

You were implying that pontid is a european phenotype and I have clarified that its not since its present in Turkey and also in Iran. Its cranial proximity to Iranid is striking and no one can deny that.

I know Pontid/Med exists in West Asia as well. But that doesn't mean Iranid Iranians look like Greek Pontids, when they barely do. Again, Asiatic and European Alpines also have similar head shape and facial features as well. But they're still distinct looking. Again, nobody views people in the phenotypical sense in the outside world. We only like to do it here.
