Which ones in the OP list pass best in Turkey?

[Greywolf]

Which ones in the OP list pass best in Turkey?

plenty of em pass in Central to EastBlackSea. Trabzon,Artvin etc.
can't say for other regions. they don't pass there at all
add Erzurum, maybe Kars.. so it's mostly northeast regions
Erzurum has lots of robust East Alpinid types. if not dinaric.
it also has Mtebids. But Trabzon has all of the above
except one thing this guys are predominantly CM
reduce CM effect all pass easily here

[Mortimer]

Since you asked 99% of them can pass as serbs

[Victor]

Since you asked 99% of them can pass as serbs

30% at its best. They don't look typical for any part of Slavic Balkan.

[Oliver109]

Decent number pass in France, atlanto alpines, CM mixes, Meds, Mtebids.

[Ylla]

Some of them pass in East Balkans

Caucasians are * Chefs kiss *

[Tooting Carmen]

Some of them pass in East Balkans

Which ones?

[Immanenz]

Taurid- landia, and some more generic Meds sometimes in recombination with Alpine as well,

[Tooting Carmen]

Taurid- landia, and some more generic Meds sometimes in recombination with Alpine as well,

Collectively would you say they look mainly European, mainly Middle Eastern or intermediate?

[Ylla]

Which ones?

Majority of them, I think. Some are too exotic to pass. But the Meds can pass for sure.

They have slight resemblance to my husband.

So collectively, you think they look more European than Middle Eastern?

[Immanenz]

they have their own Caucasus look, so its not European. Some look Pan- South Euroepan, others Balkan, others stongly Mena.

[Tooting Carmen]

But even among some European ethnic groups, can you not find individuals who look 'strongly MENA' too?

[Immanenz]

But even among some European ethnic groups, can you not find individuals who look 'strongly MENA' too?

well, its usually they rather pass as Mena (some worse other better or very good in fact). European is a very broad term tbh anyway.

So where do Europe's borders begin and end then?

[Laly]

I am really disappointed, I don't find any of them attractive. Some people said my husband looks Georgian but really, does he look like that? I want to believe there are handsome men in Georgia. I should go there to check.
