asked a Syrian guy today to guess / place me

this is what he said :

"
You look levantine and to a less extent Turkish

Probably Jewish?

Jew from the levant is my best guess

Almost certainly Israel

Would (perhaps) pass in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal


But also in Egypt and Iraq

But my guess is Israel

I think people who tell you that you look syrian have no clue what most syrians look like

well i can definitely pass as syrian . there are many syrians who are not like those arabid or bedouin like types etc

but it is funny that i get placed more often as levantine than kurdish even though kurds are more north shifted etc. . and at the same time i often get balkans and south europe too but less Kurdish

the reason is that people wrongly think that levantines are vikings of west asia and kurds are punjaboids . only people who know their shit and know how kurds look like will place me as kurdish .

by the way back then on anthroscape before i revealed my ethnicity people placed me very similar . always Turkey , Armenia , Georgia , North Iran , Cyprus , Levant , Jewish , and sometimes south europe . most classifications were Med + Armenoid , Dinaric , etc.

and then after i revealed that i am Kurdish a few people started placing me in Afghanistan and Punjab etc. :D .....and they also always trolled Kurds etc. .

curryscape was really a place full of pieces of shits in general .....

some of them are still after me with troll accounts or hidden accounts etc

but i think having posted thousands of Kurds and also genetic results will have made many of the idiots actually learn that they were wrong with their thoughts about Kurds .

A lot of Syrians from East and South are Bedouins. Only a small number of Syrians are Alawites and Northern Levantines. That's why I said that people think of Syrians as if they were only Alawites but it's much more different than that

by the way i analyzed myself and came to the conclusion that i look like a palestinian + chechen mix

genetically that is also not far off . in many calcs inget modelled similar and geographically where i am from it is right in the middle of the 2

new response by a volga german dude

"italy or spain or greece ? "
i don't see spanish tbh but can pass in italy and greece

hair very changes your phenotype imo your bald version can pass in many places but with hair you look quite armenian or azeri even more than kurdish and you can pass in strinct area.

weird . others told me that i looked more italian like with hair

me personally i dont think it makes a big difference but if i had to choose i would rather tend to agree with you . because i think when those BLACK hair are removed it somehow removes some of the wog lol

She probably didn't want to tell you that you pass worse in Imereti than in Kakheti since beforehand she said that Georgians from different regions don't look that different

i think i need an updated list for myself

i got often placed in balkans especially in the last weeks , and 2 new Georgians told me i pass easily in Georgia (one of them said so without me asking) . so Georgia might be higher in the list than before . i also got sephardic 2-3 times or so

i will do a quick list for me :

1. Kurdish
2. Turkish
3. Armenian
4. Cypriot
5. northwest Iranian (Talysh n shiet)
6. Georgian including Laz
7. Azerbaijani (yes i think i pass better as nw-iranian and georgian than azeri from what i have seen. even if this might sound odd )
8. northern Syrian , Assyrian , caucasus jew
9. Lebanese
10. Persian (not much south or east though) and Tajik , also Jordanian , Palestinian
11. Greek
12. Romanian
13. Maltese
14. Sephardic Jew
15. Japanese
