Typical Russians

[Roy]

In our local villages in the Russian North, until the middle of the 19th century, they lived in an old way, all decisions were made by the elders, they did not drink vodka and wine at all, they brewed beer at the holidays, but the negative factor was that the children were not allowed to go to school, they were not allowed to study, so that they did not leave for the city

Why were they not allowed? Unless they were serfs ...?

I assume she is Finnish peasant yes? a natural beauty with a sincere and fresh smile

And in Finland the nobility and clergy was Swedish-speaking, so Finns have always viewed them with suspicion, and we have seen them as representing an alien element.

off-topic but may I ask why they spoke Swedish, was it to be cringe or safe, or were the most nobility Finnish swedes? My fiance is from a landowner family from Häme but has some peasant ancestry too, and says Swedes saved the best lands to themselves left the Finnish with worse and ruled in an oppressive way. Was it the reason?

There was no serfdom in the Russian North, parents did not allow their children to study, so that they would not get out of the family

They look like Ukrainians I work with: absolutely no difference... Contrary to what people say I don't find them that good looking. This one looks Indian and waaaaaaaaay more beautiful than all others combined:

Doesn't look Gypsy though: more like deep South Indian

True Russian that is Slav Russian look like typical Pols or Slovenian or Ukrainian. I see it on Your photo which you add in this topic. Mixed type between mediateraean nordic and ugric that's all.

Weird, I only found these as "above average":

Spoiler!

and really only 3, 5, 6 there I'd personally consider above average, but I put the others because of objective/popular beauty standards

Least attractive were:

Spoiler!

There are several others that are very pretty (to my taste):

like these:













And this one is very pretty to me (could pass as some sort of pretty Latin American harniza or castiza):



And some of the others that you call "less attractive" aren't really bad looking, but their hair cuts don't help them much.

I can respect your opinion but I don't think beauty is that subjective. If polled, I don't think a majority of people would agree with you. Maybe just growing up in Venezuela/Spain you just haven't seen many good looking women. There's a standard, majority opinion and then there's a small amount of outliers with weird tastes, kind of like people with weird fetishes or people into animals. The last 2 you posted are literally fat. There's a reason why there's a stigma to being fat.

What do you talk about? there are lots of beautiful women among ethnic Spaniards, and a lots of Venezuelan women into the mestizo/Euro-mestizo/white range who are very pretty, and even some few very attractive mestizo-leaning or Euro-leaning triracial Venezuelan women.

And the two last women I posted aren't fat. They might be just a little bit chubby, but still very pretty.

I'm surprised that in OP posts brown / hazel eyes are so popular. It seems really south Russia is "Pontid".

Yes, see: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...=1#post7359188 (post 18)

Although Not a Cop did a Russian survey before and there weren't such large regional differences if I remember correctly, his survey looked accurate too. Maybe this is just a weird sample? I often hear green eyes peak in Russia, maybe some of the green eyes are appearing as brown here, who knows.
