Polish looks?

and I said, he's a Pole

Does he look like a Pole?

he could be just as well German but let's be honest, not many Polish guys look like him.

How about Sławomir Nowak who looks like German or even Italian... you see there whole lot of looks in Poland.

This is more what you get to see in Poland

You wanted to post pictures to guess nationality. How about this guy: Does he look Polish?

I think he does.

How about this one:

pretty much but I wouldn't be surprised if he was from Ukraine or so.

What about this man?

I don't nor will you find any evidence of me suggesting as much. I have no idea why you even wrote that.


Okay, okay congratulations you got me, I didn't read something you wrote- shame on me.
But I am unsure as to how you then came to the conclusion that "most Germans" have Slavic ancestors and what conclusion you are then coming to from that.

Even if we entertain your assumption that still merely suggests that at some point there was some ethnic intermingling here and there.
So what?
Most Germans can be distinguished from Poles based on appearance and vice versa -are you seriously challenging/debating that?

Dude you can easily see where he is from by the link description.

4 eigner is just playing with you pretending to guess where they are from.


Do you speak for the world now?

No.
Do you think Poles and Germans look the same or do you think there are distinguishing features? Would you say it's impossible to distinguish a Polish person from a German person (similar age and gender) based on appearance?

Yeah, that intermingling "here and there" lasted for at least 700 years and happened all over Poland.


Shorter hair maybe? ;)

explain, please

Is it the time frame or the degree to which it occurred that is more of an influence?

The origional point that people seem to be arguing about though isnt just looking at random photos of people is it?
It was about can British or other *natives* spot a Pole or Poles in their communities
The simple answer is yes, a lot of the time *we* can.
What makes me chuckle is that the same people who are saying this is immpossible are all also saying things like *the greeks can always spot tourists* or That Poles can spot non Poles in Poland.......so,eh,explain please why you cannot believe that Poles dont just magically blend in with the natives straight away like some uber spies?

Its context,never just one thing,even ignoring ifor bach (or is it one of Harry's IDs,certainly as bl**dy anoying..) fixation on a simple point I made that diet effects body odour (which he somehow etrapolaits into me seemingly claiming to be some sort of Child Catcher able to sniff out anyone who's name ends in ski......) so, someone with a shaved head,wearing a pair of cammo trousers that you can see is ex Warsaw pact, smoking LM blues and drinking Lech while stood outside a Polski Sklep is probably going to be a Pole... stick him in a suit and walk him across Victoria Bridge in rush hour and I defy anyone to point out his Polishness............

Both, because the number of descendants from one "intermingling" increases almost exponentially over the centuries.

OK guys, isthatu2 is not quite wrong here. When you consider how many Polish guys have shaved their heads nowadays, it does make it pretty easy to determine their nationality (maybe it has changed in the meantime but a few years ago, it was a big time fashion in Poland and we all know it). Also, you guys often wear different cloth too (I'm not saying worse, just different).

Change the polish beer and the polish shop to english ones and you would have a brit ;)

Yes yes and yes. By George I think he has got it!!! :)
We have been saying this all along. Its not *just* a look its also about where and when we see these people isnt it.
ps, Lech is not always a giveaway,Im not a beer drinker but many of my British mates now drink Lech or Tyskie :)
pps, but,the LM ciggies are still a bit of a giveaway. I could only buy them (under the counter) in shops run by Kurds who thought I was also Polish like the other 99% of their customers.......once Id revealed I was English they suddenly didn't do dodgy ciggies anymore lol :)

Well, what do you know! That's why I asked for not cheating


That means he's very courteous, because he missed ;)

Does anyone more want to take a guess?

missed?
besides, I asked David_18 to explain what he meant but so far, no explanation.

He thinks you were cheating.
Will you try with the second picture and the last one?

cheating?

anyways, where are these girls from? (one is Polish)

mmm..... top left - the outer hebrides
top right - costa rica
bottom left - the upper volta

Rozumienic, do you want to guess the pics from the previous page or can I disclose the results? :)


Those pictures are links. If you put a mouse on it you will see the adress, if you click on it you'll be redirected.


The last one.

good job. So it is possible to determine where one is from judging by the looks (not always though)

your turn


btw. Costa Rica was darn close too ;-)

it's so difficult - could be this, could be that.....
go on, tell us....

Try a blind guess :)
