Genealogy / "You don't look Polish" statement [29]

Do you get mistaken for German/Austrian a lot too? Cause I often think (and am correct) when I talk to people who foremost know they are German but also have Polish or some other Slavic heritage; it is a common Central European "look".

Also many famous Germans and Austrians, almost right away I can tell if they have Polish or Slavic in them.

Genealogy / "You don't look Polish" statement [29]

To me there are two major "Polish looks":

The blond, light eyed Nordic kinda look with white blond or dirty blonde hair

The more Mediterranean/"Italian" look with dark eyes and hair.

Yet in both the face is very similar, I can always tell haha.
