not sure . jewish in general . but i think i would pass as an atypical ashkenazi . thats what 2 jewish men told me too
I don't think I should tell you that the jewish look you are talking about only really applies to ashkenazi jews and to some extent sephardic jews because they kinda resemble ashkenazis pheno wise.

compare the pic above with these 2 pics for example

of course it is clear that it is the same person on them lol ....but i look different from cam to cam . which is normal of course but i look also different in real life as i said xD i wonder if i will ever find a cam that will show me the way i look in real life lol

How different could you possibly look in person.. you are over exaggerating

So the list you created for yourself is only true for your in person phenotype or the picture phenotype?😀

for both =)

but in real life i am phenotypically more mediterranid than taurid / armenoid while on pics i am a little more the reverse . in real life i am roughly 70 % med and 30% armenoid while on pics IMO i am 50 50 or even 60 armenoid 40 med

and in real life i pass easier in parts of southern europe than on pics . especially greek islands . on pics many people placed me in south europe too but not as much as in real life

in fact since we are talking about it i will tell you something . a guy from these forums actually met me in person :D we talked etc.

this is what he said about me

That's interesting. Good for you man. I mean I guess me and you for example are mostly east med but in my case as you said i have robust iranid influence and you got taurid influence.

good for me ? lol . yeah good for my owd mind i guess ....

you are more mediterranid than me . and your irano-cm is only little and irano-cm and iranid are similar to mediterranid . i am not even sure anymore if you have iranid at all . either way you are mostly mediterranid

and yes i am med + some köksal baba influence . but not that much

Well earlier you disagreed with me for saying that the classification you are giving me which is mostly east med is a rather weird case. I look too east med for what I am. I dunno why..

you dont look too med . as i showed you before you have a lot of mediterranean farmer ancestry too . and even iran neolithic will create "pseudo" med types as well etc.

georgians are very med aswell btw. . they are mostly a mix of CHG + Mediterranean Farmer . they dont have much anything else

If you are talking about actual georgians then I don't know where you got it from. How many pure georgians either from east or west have you seen who look very east med? I mean if you include pontid in east med then okay but they are independent phenos in the end.

Georgians are mostly chg but they have almost identical amounts of med and west-central asian components.

That med farmer ancestry wasn't my personal result dude😀 i am not denying that i would have a big amount of med farmer ancestry but not as much as it is shown in g25 georgian jewish average. The thing is that georgian jewish average includes 3 outliers. 2 of them are almost like kurdish/iranian jews and even iraqi jews almost and 1 of them is very iranian influenced and is literally a bukharan jew. With them removed georgian jewish average would look a bit different.

i have seen pics and videos of many georgians and they have a lot of pontid types but they also have a decent amount of other med types

i was talking about G25 . but on gedmatch georgians get a lot of east med and west med and some also score a good amount of atlantic / north atlantic . on calcs like eurogenes k13 , k15 etc

in fact they are often more mediterranid looking than many of those arabid or assyroid mixed levantines tbh

and it is irrelevant if the georgian jewish sample is not that accurate . you would still score a lot . does it bother you looking mediterranid for some reason ? :)

Nah it doesn't. I would expect to look a bit differently tho. I mean you yourself might even have more med farmer ancestry than me😀

Beard suits you btw. Hehhehe

Classification I'm shit at and I can't stand them tbh, they're like fucking math lmao (i made that clear on apricity)

As for passing you're all over the place. You have a little of many MENA nations in ya, but mostly Armenian, Turkish and Azeri, that corridor (besides Kurdish -- though again I'm not that familiar with them much)

Yeah. Send the link.

i dont want to share the link (i have my reasons lol )

but i can copy paste what they said :

person 1 :

"My guess would be Eastern European, but you could probably pass for South American Or Middle Eastern. You seem to have a Roman nose, so I would guess you are Eastern European and somebody in the family tree met up with somebody who met up with etc… I wouldn’t want to guess a country because it might border on your ancient enemy. You also pass as a decent human being. Good luck."

after i replied and asked which ethnicities he thinks i am :

"I would say Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia, Ukraine. Something occupied by Russia. Possibly Poland or Romania. Am I anywhere near close? I’m feeling you’re going to tell me Portugal and I’m going to feel like an idiot."

and then i said :
i will tell you later what i am :) thanks for posting . we will talk later more mate :)

his 2 responses :

"You just gave it away. You’re English, from the north."

"Now I’m thinking Sheffield or South London. You are definitely an enigma."



person 2 :

"Maybe eastern block, Bosnian, Armenian, Arabic nondescript, lower half of the boot, black irish."




wtf ?
