Romanians don't look Greek on average. There are a few cases, of course, but not a lot. Romanians are much more Central-Europe or Eastern-Europe shifted. Older people that spent too much time in the park playing checkers can look Greek.

The problem is that because we're pretty much between Greece, Poland/Slovakia and Ukraine, the only people that look like us are Bulgarians and some Hungarians. Hungarians, naturally, shift more Central Europe while Bulgarians can shift more South (though, in my opinion, their women seem to retain a particular EE vibe).

Serbs/Croats/Montenegrins can look like us but I've noticed them to be more Brachy, taller, and retain a Dinarid look that is not shared by all Romanians (the South and South-West shares more with them on this page, though).

Conclusion: Romanians can fit in a lot of places but in my opinion they will look atypical.

Simple. The crowd in Aspirin's thread consists largely of people with those recognisable brachy, dinaric-influenced, head shapes which the older generations in Serbia and other Balkan countries are quite known for. Perhaps if he posted a crowd of Moldovans of my generation there would have been a greater difference.
On the other hand those concert goers are mainly in the Alpine-Med range and would pass no worse in Italy than here. Nothing about them reminds me of our people, no signature features in common.

Yeah, they're mostly Alpine Meds or Alpine Pontids. I agree that many pass in Italy.
And they're definitely not foreigners, look at these people singing in Romanian, they have exactly the same faces:

We have signifcantly more light eyed and haired percentage of population. Also difference between Hungary and Romania is not slight.

You are genetically significantly more south than we and in every anthro study darker eyed/haired.

Dalmatia is lighter eyed and more northern European (Slavic) influenced than Romania. If we are dark, you are even darker.



you're fooling yourself, there no significant difference in pigmentation between Croatians and Romanians:

here's Croatians from Zagreb:

Bullshit. You are OWD.
It is always Serbs and Romanians try to show they are equally light like us.

No you aren't, you are visibly darker. Get over it. And you cant be same as us with your much more wog autosomal genetics.

I never see Croats saying they are same pigmentation to Slovenians and Hungarians, and we are much closer to them than to you.

He is always lightwashing Romanians and claiming they are similar to Hungarians but in reality difference between them is massive considering they have common border. And genetics shows that. Romanians are Balkan as fuck but people are confused because their country is relatively northernly located.

Well their genetics isn't. And neither is pigmentation.

Light eyes are over 40% in Croatia, everything below that figure is darkwashing. My family is almost 100% light eyed and we have friends visiting us in Dalmatia these days to have lunch togheder, usually from 9 people at table 8 have light eyes. Yes this is small sample but just to showcase brown eyes are minor here. Hazel which are mixed colour is dominant.

What sets us apart from southern Europeans is our MUCH higher light eyes percentage. Hair not really, most people have dark hair but in childhood almost all kids are blond.

These friend of family with so much light eyes who visit us are mostly dark haired, some very. And ofc tanned.

I visited Transylvania and people were dark in both hair and eyes. Visibly darker than us.

No wonder when southern Croats plot more northern than northern Romanians do. And northern Croats are completely different league.

I made thread with Moldovan Croats youth NT comparisons and we were bit lighter haired. Moldovans are already lighter than Romanians are. I consider them comparable even if we are little lighter, Romanians are comparable with Serbs (and in my opinion slightly darker)

In Romania 30% have light eyes if not less, and the vast majority of people is brunette (and often flat out black haired) so yeah you have a point.

Lets say Croats have 10%-12% more of light hair and eyes, not drastic but not slight either. It's enough to be visible on first glance. And that is resonable considering difference in autosomal north european input.

Your hair is light brown, not dark brown - basically the same colour as mine. I don't believe it is darker than the average Bulgarian if it would be considered average in Poland that is much lighter than Bulgaria in pigmentation.

Here you have a volleyball player from Bulgaria with black or black-ish hair. Is he a Gypsy? I don't think so.
