Many people here, especially women, think we're a mix of barbarian Slavs and Ottomans Terminator told me had to argue and dissuade some individuals in real life who kept making those exact claims.
    I will try to give my opinion about yours (did you know that some people here thought/still think that i'm your alter ego? ).

    1. Unfortunately, most people count only pigmentation/eye colour, even here where people know about phenotypes (which is kinda shocking to me, since tanned borreby or baltid is still northern looking, just to name example).
    2.Yeah, a lot of ordinary people think that whoever passed through Balkans stopped to ate and fuck something. I have to include even my mom in this group, unfortunately. Despite the fact that she is educated and smart person (most likely smarter than me) she genuinely believed that some Serbs have Turkish DNA (including her father who looked and was of same pigmentation as me ) because of fact that some Serbs are darker than others. When I asked her why rest of her family (including her) have those large square heads/faces and pale skin combined with blue eyes, bassically stereotypical Slavic look, her answer was something like "Well, some of our female ancestors sucessfully escaped Turkish right of the first night", I was a bit shocked. When I explained her whole thing about genetics and phenotypes she admitted that my version have much more sense. But I can't blame ordinary people who know nothing about genetics when you have people here who have some anthropology/genetics knowledge but are still too stubborn and biased.
    3. About color, I never paid enough attention to that but there is probably some difference. For example, I think that in Serbia most common non-brown eye colours would be various shades of green and hazel and this is truth for other neighbouring countruies as well but I think that percentage of these two is probably a bit different (there is probably bit more pure green and blue eyes than in Albania for example). But i'm not expert on this subject. As you (and perhaps other members) noticed, I was always more focused/fascinated on/with measurements than pigmentation/eye and hair colours. Yeah, i'm different than rest of anthrotards on this forum.

    Haha, my mom thinks so too. Like I said, it's something females in general tend to believe in, regardless of the level of education You should tell your mom that it's in fact her lighter parent that has a lot of Middle Eastern (Jewish) ancestry, she'll probably be really surprsied.
    As for your third point, I don't think hazel eyes are more common than ligh ones, but the other way around. It's hard to tell from a distance, but most people who don't have light eyes, simply have brown ones instead. That's my experience anyway.

    As for the OP, this is a useless enterprise because he took the eye color from pictures which are inaccurate especially when it comes to green and hazel eyes. Brown eyes are rare in Albanians, but unless the eyes are blue or gray they would show as brown if the lighting is not optimal / light.
    I have green eyes that in sunlight look even blueish according to a lot of people yet in most pics indoors or at night time they shows as dark hazel.

    Brown eyes are rare for Albanians? Okay dude XD Most of Albanians have brown hair/eyes combo, it's normal for our climate and geographical place.

    Maybe I misunderstood you, who knows.

    Yes brown eyes are rare in Albanians unless you are Daltonic. How would you say your eyes are?

    Gedmatch + he has close matches with several fully Jewish people, which is otherwise unheard of. Check out the thread he opened when he received the results, there's more info there.

    Haha, i've showed her my results and explained to her what they means, even though i'm still not 100% sure is it from her side (until she doesn't take test i can't be completely sure, but i will test her after this corona crap ends). She was a bit surprised but not in negative way, she has very good opinion about Jews so honestly I think she would like to be from her side. She is not some ultra liberal person but she definitely belongs to left wing (well, typical commie, what else to say), so middle eastern or any other non-european genetics doesn't mean that much to her, probably that's reason why she and other Serbian females accepted that turkish theory, genetics or "racial purity" are much less important thing for females than to males, in general.
    About eye colours, I'm not sure, I know some people with hazel eyes (bassically green with hint of brown, right?) but I have no idea about %. Honestly, for me everything that is not brown is light, simple as that.
