I don't understand that either, I was born and grew up in Poland, there are plenty of blonds there, but I like dark haired ladies. Southern European ladies are really attractive and sexy. Where does this obsession with blond hair and blue eyes come from? Btw, most Poles have grey eyes not blue. There are plenty of guys that like brunettes so no worries

Bulgaria is not exactly in Southern Europe.
As a matter of fact, hate me, but I've seen plenty of blond Albanians.

Don't know about Bulgaria, and tbh I hardly see how they fit into a poll with Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. But out of the other four, Italy, no question.

[rhiannon]

Spain or Italy.

If I was Don I'd be saying Spain all the way, but I'm not so I voted Bulgaria.

On 23andme they identified 3 SNPs which were linked to light eyes and hair, and a statistic using the Eurogenes samples was made. The results were these:

Lithuania 20,52%
Belarus 20,83%
Mordvinians 22,22%
Finland 23,00%
Norway 24,24%
UK 26,26%
Sweden 27,08%
Kent 28,12%
Ireland 28,89%
Vologda 29,33%
Russia 29,57%
Poland 30,77%
Germany 33,33%
Hungary 36,11%
Cornwall 36,46%
France 37,75%
Ukraine 38,10%
Bulgaria 42,31%
North Italy 42,71%
Chuvash 44,12%
Romania 45,10%
North Ossetia 53,57%
Georgia 55,83%
Central Italy 56,67%
Spain 59,65%
South Italy 60,42%
Chechnya 60,83%
Cyprus 62,50%
Armenia 62,50%
Turkey 66,00%

According to this, the answer would be Bulgaria. My own score is 33.45%, but the portuguese weren't counted.

I agree these findings are better than those woeful light hair and eye maps just posted.

Blond Albanian reporting in.

As you I don't consider Albania to be a Southern-European country. I think Albanians and Balkanians in general (except for Greeks) can identify more with Eastern-Europe.

That's why most Balkanians put emphasis on them being South Eastern European, because generally Southern-Europe is a term used for Mediterranean Europe which they don't identify with.

I simply don't consider Albanians to be a mediterranean people. And that is certainly also shown physically. On average we're not as swarthy as the stereotype.
