I don't know where you got your degree or what source of knowledge you're using, HARVARD10, but Poland is the most Slavic country in terms of genetics. R1a haplogroup /a Slavic gene/has been found in the highest frequency in Poland with around 60% of the nation belonging in that group.

As long as you include all those dark-skinned folks who just can't seem to shut up about how great it is to be black, then I'm OK with that ;)

Bloody right I am. No time for any of it.

They're long enough to touch the ground when I walk otherwise I'd be forever floating.

You're right. I never thought about it that way.

I'm being a bit picky here but "Eastern Europeans" is not technically proper English. It's either Eastern Europe or East Europeans but not Eastern Europeans.

I admit though, to not always checking my spelling, especially when I'm drinking merlot.

Thats the way the government and media refer to Poles in the UK I'm afraid.

Typical look of Polish people is only a history. They were tall,slender,blond,blue eyed and very light skin. Over thousand year history Poland was raid by different nations: Swedish , Turkish,Germans, Russians etc..Many of those people stayed in Poland so over the years we lost our ancestral appearance. Just visit some villages in Dabrowa Tarnowska county an You will find people with eyes like those of Tatars. So now only genetics can produce from time to time the real Polish look.

What a bunch of fools on here to even be discussing this. Who cares how people look, have you guys got it into your heads that one race of people is any better than another ???

Merged:Genetical test-Polish

Hello guys!
I was just wondering that is there a typical Polish look as I got the results of my 23andme(genetic test) and for some reason at first place my results has shown that I'm most similar genetically to the people of Poland.Actually my mother is Polish and from my fathers side i have some too(but mostly Ukrainian) yet I look nothing like someone from Poland imo.Is there actually a common look or something?

There is no common look. Poland's borders have shifted many times over the centuries.

Poland has also been welcoming of different groups of people too; here is an interesting link about it: commonwealth.pl

I think I definitely have the "slim heart face" with pointy cheekbones that the OP described. It's odd, some men are really into this and some not so much at all. I had a crazy guy lusting after me one time who would always comment on "what beautiful sharp features I had." At the time I thought this was an insult but I discovered that this is definitely a compliment. It can give the face kind of a chaotic look, but these features really emote.

I think on average Polish people tend to be taller and slimmer. Women also tend to be bigger up top (I am proof of this hehe). I know that my body is a rather slim to average type and I'm a tiny bit taller than average (5'6) but most of my body structure is quite robust despite this. I have big knees, thick ankles, and shoulders. I know that my grandmother with Polish influence on my father's side had the thick ankles, not sure about the other traits though. I think she was more of a slender, less robust type.

Is it a typical Polish Slavic thing to have rather course, bushy hair or is it probably a sign of jewish influence? I don't have any genetic Ashkenazi markers but I think it is likely thick hair probably meant they had a small amount of jewish ancestry.

I sympathize with the OP. Junk food makes me get fat easily and if I don't exercise and eat normally I can put on a lot of weight, but I tend to be pretty slim. Some of that stuff with all the saturated fat I can't even digest properly, like Chick-fil-a. It just goes right through my system.

Don't you think this model looks Polish? She has a slight dimpled, uneven chin that is common in Poles. You can still have that chin defect like me and be beautiful! youtube.com/user/LiveRunway

Not really. I'm not saying that she is not Polish. But for me she has more feautres of a French girl than Polish,

This is true! ( yes, I did look at your profile pictures :D )

But to explain: For me the combination of dark hair and light coloured eyes, the thicker eye brows ( and side-burns :O ) define French women - the type you would see in a L'oreal advert.

She doesn't really have the 'slavic' cheek bones that one associates with Polish women. She may be American, but for me probably French or maybe Swiss... or maybe Flemish.

But that's only my amatuer opinion...
