Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde?

I have dark brown hair, dark complexion and bright green eyes and am polish, this is just a stereotype..

Polskie dziewczyny są naj lepsze ;)

najlepsze!!!

Gene inheritance doesn't work like that... if your family is 99% (for example) brown haired and brown eyed, but 1% is blue eyed and red haired, then depending on chance (I don't remember the exact percentages) you could end up with red hair and blue eyes in a very slim likelihood. In other words, just because only some of your genes have the necessary prequisites, it doesn't mean that these genes will be completely diluted by the stronger genes. If you're even a little Irish, then that could explain it. Either that or your mother had an affair at some point (I don't mean to be impolite, but it's a likely scenario, and very common). Are you sure there's no Medittiranean in your family?

I don't really think so... I'm fully polish and I'm the only person in my family with blonde/blue eyes... everyone but me. I think most slavs and central europeans are with dark hair/eyes.

hair-probably yes,young people-65% natural light/dark brown,dark blond vs.35%natural blondes

Eyes- no. 8/10 Poles have light colour of eyes- blue/grey, green/grey, blue/green,grey,green,blue.

Some study claimed 55% of Poles have light hair.

i don't know.maybe. it was my own research.people i see every day.there are definitely more blondes in the north.even very light blondes.Bydgoszcz,Szczecin,Olzstyn-about65- 70%,quite a lot of them in Bialystok.in the south there are fewer blondes and in Slask not to many

In Poland dark blonde is considered as a hue of blonde. In that case


is true. If you don't consider dark blonde as a one of blonde hues then I would say that even as little as 15% of Poles have light hair (those are not statistical date just a number off the top of my head derived from a fact that I rarely see natural blondes).

i don't know, but polish womens are very, very, very nice

nice eyes

over 70% of Polish population have light eyes ( blue, gray, green, blue-green)
over 50% of Poles are blond and light eyed people

most of the Poles when they are born are blond ( from dark blond to super blond) but when they are getting older the color change more to dark.

Im blue-green eyes and dark brown woman, both my parents ( their sibling and my grand parents are blue eyed).
I have light blond husband with blue eyes
our child is dark blond with blue eyes.

What I have noticed in the kindergarten - that for 33 children only 3 have really dark hair, rest even if they are brown eyed are blond.

What I have noticed that in Poland more often we like to mix - usualy blond girl has dark hair men, and blond guys love dark hair women.

I was never blond but my brother was super blond when he born.
My father has light eyes and black hair and my mother is blond with gray eyes.

I think that blue eyed people are the majority here.

Poles make reasearch what kind of man like the Polish women. They found out that dark hair with light eyes :)

although the scandinavian countries technically house the highest percentage of light hair/eye citizens, I think Poland ranks #1, or even Russia for that matter - that is, if you take their much larger populations into account..

you are right

The Finns are the blondest nation by percentage. Poland, like Russia, is blondest in its territory on the coast of the Baltic "the Blonde Sea":

bigthink.com/ideas/21266

Though there isn't any special preponderance of blond people along the Baltic Coast - do you know why?

Look at the map provided in the link it says otherwise, but please explain why the map is wrong and you are right.

I did - and your 'big think website' doesn't concur with my or anyone else's experience of that region (in which the population is most decidedly not 'indigenous'). Perhaps you'd like to tell us what you noticed on your last visit to that part of Poland?

Maybe it does not concur with your experience but you are merely one person whereas the map is based on data gotten from actual anthropological research. As for your claim that your experience is the same as "anyone else's" you are being pompous, presumptuous, and stupid.

Read it carefully and you'll see that it isn't. Do you even know what the phrase 'ciemny blondyn' means?


From you that could be a compliment - it's clearly a phrase you have heard often.

i and i imagine the forum are fed up with the bickering.

please keep to the topic, and none of the i know better bullshit.

Nice one, mods. :)

That map posted was surreal - there's no way that 50-79% of Scots have blonde hair. Could it be the product of some very dubious research?

This is after all a discussion forum, and it is good when people share their experiences. Sad though when the trolling starts.


It could be the 'ciemny blondyn' thing again. I know people in PL with black hair, who have 'ciemny blondyn' written on their Identity Card.

He deserved a rap for what was #369. Guess he got p*ssed that JM was better read on the subject, otherwise, JM/DE was quite stimulating on the genesis thread.

We're sick to death of it. At least now - we can get back to the normal left vs right wing arguments that used to prevail on here.


Certainly - thank you for acting - it's appreciated :)


Could be - I've noticed that people often write something completely weird on their dowód. My own wife has "grey" eyes - yet they're clearly blue. Never heard a good explanation from her yet as to why ;)

The same with 'piwny'. Why beer-coloured and not brown?

he meant about the amount of the people here. Poland has almot 40milions of inhabitants and over 50% ( so over 20milions are blond) when origin three Scandinavians country which are : Denmark, Sweden and Norway has around 20 milions of inhabitants in total !!!!

Finns are not origin Scandinavians !! But you are right the highest % of is in Finland but not with the amount !!!

You would say that: you Liberal!

As for all Poles being blonde and blue-eyed: there are three Polish women in my life and none of them have blonde hair or blue eyes.

Poles do not have a certain look. We are a mixed people for example the north is more nordic looking you can say, the east more ukrainian, tatar or even turkish looking the south more dinaric looking like hungarians and the west is a mixture of it all. It is stupid to say a nation can have a certain look especially when most regions of poland have a different history and have been invaded by different groups of people and have mixed with them aswell. For example i have seen many blond haired blue eyed greeks when the stereotype of greeks is short, dark skin & eyes with black hair.

I can easily go as an Afghani muslim when I grow my beard and get tanned - brown eyes and dark hair - must be some Armenian blood in my family

Do you have any idea how widespread Armenian ancestry is in today's Poland gumishu? Armenians began intermarrying with native Poles long ago. There is an interesting literary case of an Armenian family being Polonized in Sienkiewicz's On the Field of Honor set in the days leading up to the Battle of Vienna.
