Georgian Jews. What do you think about their overall phenotype?

you looking cypriot or greek islander does not mean that you dont look georgian jewish either since there are overlaps between those peoples . and people are also not running stereotypes . there is variation in ethnic groups themselves

Nah. I don't think I look Georgian Jewish. I actually think that I look like a mix between cypriot and eastern georgian maybe.
right you can not pass as your own ethnicity ....

Why are you making shit upright you can not pass as your own ethnicity ....
I said that I don't look like a typical georgian jew and that's apparent.

You also gave my father a bit weird listing to be honest. You didn't even put georgian jewish in the list. Does he not pass as his ethnicity? You only put georgian in there as his best fit at first place.right you can not pass as your own ethnicity ....
i forgot it

Would georgian jewish be one of his best fits?

Well, I should be well aware of what georgians look like from different regions and as a bunch but some georgian users on some forums can deceive me sometimes.

@skidrow A half mingrelian half svan dude told me that If he met me in georgia in the streets he wouldn't have thought of me as georgian. He also said that I can't pass as western georgian at all, like 0% chance and the only places in georgia where I can remotely pass are kakheti and kartli. Then I asked him which ethnicities I passed best as and he told me that for him I passed best as turkish, dagestani and maybe armenian and assyrian

yes
What do you think about the things he said?
yes
he is a member here too ^_^
well i dont want to discredit him and lecture him about his own people
but it seems to me that he has a very narrow picture of what a "real" georgian is supposed to look like

From what I have seen he thinks that the real georgians can only look pike him because he is the pure one and isn't mixed. He also thinks that eastern georgians like kahketians and kartlians are much more mixed than western georgians.
I told him that I never had problems passing as a georgian and that no georgian person ever has asked me twice about my ethnicity if I didn't tell them that I was a georgian jew, plus I think I can decently pass in khakheti and kartli at least.
yes he says that west georgians such as svans , mingrelians are not mixed unlike south and east georgians who are mixed with armenians and azeris . he is not really wrong though ....because most west georgians seem to have been more isolated and south and east georgians often get modelled as "60% abkhasian + 40% armenian" or some shitz on gedmatch
but if we are reaaally nitpicky then we could say that svans and mingrelians are rather an offshoot of georgians and not the main kartvelian group constituting georgia
and yes . most georgian members in forums told me i can pass as georgian . some even said i pass easily and one guy said he has even a friend looking like me . but frowning man said i can only pass in south and east but that i look azeri and armenian most
