How do you describe people from Iran then?

iran has a variety of looks and depending on region people look quite different etc

and there are also various ethnic and / or subgroups in iran . persians , azeris , talysh , gilakis , mazandaranis , balochs , turkmens , bandaris , etc

persians often have a specific persian look on them . which is not an "iranic" look per se since many of them look different from other iranics such as us kurds . iranic is a linguistic category . kurds , ossetians , talysh , persians , tajiks , balochs , pashtuns are all iranics . too different from each other . especially balochs and pashtuns most of the time look different from us

He resembles the North African member here named "GMstack90", except his nose is a bit wider at the tip.
I don't understand why are you getting offended?

Check his photo here :
Offended ? I'm not offended it's just that he doesn't look north african at all, he looks like a dark north west asian and that member doesn't look like him at all are you blind ? (+ if I remember correctly that member has arab ancestry)

North Africans look like this :

Well, I am glad that you are not offended, because my intention here is definitely not to offend anybody and my eye sight is actually 20/20 thank you very much.
In my opinion he does resemble the other North African member. Also if you read my posts, you will see that I kept saying that he does indeed look West Asian,

You mentioned that the North African member has Arab ancestry, but that is also the case for a lot of modern populations from Levant and Mesopotamia, but they are still referred to as Levantines and Mesopotamians.

I checked you photo in the link that you provided and you do look much different from the North African member that I referred to earlier.

i just showed his pic to my brother and asked him to place him

he said

"maybe an afghan or something ?"

"and in the end he added : in the beginning i thought maybe pakistani but something was off so not "

my brother is kurdish too like me (of course lol) and he doesnt care about anthroforums . if great sargon looked west asian and specifically kurdish then my brother and me would have said so .

he doesnt look kurdish or west asian . at least not purely so . if he is indeed kurdish as he claims (he claimed many things btw.) then he is very atypical

period

az önce resmini kardeşime gösterdim ve onu yerleştirmesini istedim

dedi

"belki bir afgan ya da başka bir şey?"

"ve sonunda ekledi: Başta Pakistanlı olabileceğini düşündüm ama bir şeyler ters gitti, o yüzden değil"

kardeşim de benim gibi kürt (tabii ki lol) ve anthroforumları umursamıyor. eğer büyük sargon batı asyalı ve özellikle kürtçe görünseydi o zaman kardeşim ve ben öyle derdik.

kürt veya batı asyalıya benzemiyor. en azından tamamen öyle değil. eğer gerçekten de iddia ettiği gibi kürtse (birçok şeyi iddia etti) o zaman çok atipiktir.

When he first asked me to guess his ancestry, my first guess was also Afghanistan and possible Pakistan, but when I looked at his profile photos he looked more West Asian than anything else so I said that he could pass as an Iranian or Assyrian.

I am not going to start educating you about your own ethnicity's looks but I think you exaggerate too much when you say that he passes as Assyrian. They don't look too different from Georgian Jews and tiglat can't even pass among some of the most atypical Georgian Jews

It is O.K I don't mind getting educated, but there are some Assyrians that could resemble him.
I think you are right that Assyrians and Georgian Jews are genetically very close, because I often get Georgian Jewish at my top two Gedmatch results.
Looks wise I don't really know because I haven't actually seen any Georgian Jews in real life.

I would say that most individuals pass on both sides without problems. Tiglat looks too much SE influenced to pass among the aforementioned ethnicities
