today i got a real life guess after a long time . from a jordanian / palestinian guy . he guessed me iranian and said i resemble an iranian work buddy of him . pretty cool :)

and as i said before the iranians we have here where i live look very "normal" northern west asian and some even look balkan . they dont look like some of the "exotic" iranians you see posted in forums . however in my experience having known / met many iranians in my life they look quite different from me in general . i wonder what his buddy looks like hehe

You’re not exotic, that Levantine guy said the truth, you don’t look like Levantine/Semitic, trust me, you’re typical to Eastern Anatolia, Iran and Armenia.

IMHO, ethnic Kurds Iranid-Taurid/Armenoid-East Med and ethnic Turks are mostly Anatolid/Pontid-Turanid, your phenotype fits in Kurdish or Eastern Anatolian population.If it’s not private for you what phenotypes your rest of your family members have?

You don’t look Balkan but I’m not sure, may be you can pass as a Cypriot.

i can pass as cypriot. pretty easily . there is a post in this thread where i posted my face next to some cypriots . chefk it out

regarding levant : i dont know whats going on but on another site many people guessed me levantinr ....

you say i dont look exotic but iranians can be very exotic since it is a big country . and even the non exotic ones usualy look different from me in my experience

and balkan i get placed often . justyesterday a montenegrin guy guessed me greek and said. if i was a little lighter i would pass as montenegrin

Yes, you can pass a Cypriot because Cypriots are mostly East med, Asiatic Alpine and armenoid/taurid.

just got this from a person :

"
Hmmm…I’m not sure, you have a very Eastern Mediterranean-West Asian look. I would say anywhere west to east between The Balkans and Iraq, and North to South between the Caucasus and North Africa, excluding the Gulf and the Arabian peninsula. If I had to guess specifically I would say either Syrian or Iraqi or South Caucasian (Armenia, Azerbaijan). Potentially Lebanese or Israeli too.

by the way i just stumbled over this old pic where i was 15 - 16 years old :)

this is actually what i look like in real life ....just older and with a shaved head and more muscle mass ( and nowdays also fat ...but i will slim down)

it is actually crazy how this old cam makes me look the way i do while most of the cams i have had in the last years despite being more "advanced" are like shit . wtf ?

my nose is also more realistic here ...as you see it is not nearly as long as on my pics nowdays . but in real life my nose is even a little smaller than on this pic . crazy . on this pic my nose looks a little bulby unlike in real life .


i need a realistic cam . but i guess they are very expensive

You got a nice local West Asian look, at least you don’t have any ugly turanid thing in you, god I hate that Turanid/Turkic look in West Asians, they look alien to me.
