Mostly Coarse Mediterranean (aka Berid), with some Amerindian (mostly Pueblid & Californid, maybe a weak Pacifid strain), & minor Dinarization (either Litorid or Baskid or both), & a very minor Saharid strain.

I don't really like the concept of phenotypes but I'll give my own opinion. I don't really want to post a photo though because people always end up making weird or mean comments about the way I look because yeah I'm not what you'd call "conventionally attractive" but I personally think my phenotype would be closest to a mix of two or three maybe Dinarid/Norid + Alpine, or Baskid + Keltic Nordid, or Atlantid/North Atlantid + Dinarid and Nordic. I've gotten a whole bunch of different classifications when I used to like that stuff lol....some which I agreed with or very much disagreed with, although I think classifications are always going to be subject to bias especially when you know someone's background or for example someone with brown eyes will probably be classified as more Southern than they are on average, while someone with blue eyes will be classified as more Northern than they are at least this seems to be the case.

I've been classified as a lot of different things including Nordid, North Atlantid, Atlantid, Alpine+Keltic Nordid, Dinarid+Nordid, Keltic Nordid, Atlantid+Dinarid, North Atlantid+Corded and others lol.

on TA they are talking about me right now ...about my phenotype among other things and sammy (Avicenna) says i look uber "middle eastern" and not balkan at all and he says he is not sure about capadoccian med and that i am only armenoid

dear sammy (be careful) first of all i do pass as balkan . i have had many people guess me and place me balkan including balkan people . i even posted some of the balkan people guess me as balkan including their own ethnicity .

and i would not even pass in southern middle east

2. i am more cappadocian med than armenoid

Because they have a strong bias against kurds. And no not just you personally but the whole ethnicity. And as we know from some curries they even dislike other northern west asians because they overlap with their "superiors" if you know what I mean. Levantines will also be triggered because they wanna retain that bullshit anthromyth about themselves that they are the vikings of west asia, that they are even whiter than northern west asians. And you have complexed south euros who will pass you as gypsy or "MENA" or sometimes even as afghan or paki because they don't wanna stand out from their "whiter" compatriots to the north since they are too ashamed to overlap with west asians. That's the full story in a nutshell

why does it bother some people the way i look and pass ?
I kind of wonder too in general why people care a ton about the way people from certain groups look. My guess would be that some people don't like the idea of a certain group looking a certain way, or some people are just insecure in themselves and try to feel better. Idk lol this phenomena seems to largely exist on Anthro Forums in general.

45% eef + 35% chg + 20% iran_n sounds like a good breakdown for me

@Corduene we have talked about our phenotypes before in regards to our ancient ancestral sources like eef, chg, iran_n etc. do you agree that the breakdown above suits my pheno and how would you break down your own appearance with ancients
