Genealogy / Do I look Polish? (my picture) [375]

My great grandparents immigrated to the US from Poland and then had my grandfather after moving to the US, making my mother half Polish. I don't really know what part of Poland they were from because of how common their last name was. I never really thought I looked much like my mother and grandfather until my friend who has just been adopted from Latvia pointed out similar features that we all shared. I have blue green eyes and ash blonde hair with high cheek bones just like my mother and grandfather. People always ask me where I am from and I never know what to say. Once I had a guy come up to me randomly on the street and ask if I was Russian, which I must admit was strange. I normally just tell people I am part Polish. My question is have my friends and family been lying to me? Do I even look polish at all?

Also, my computer was being very strange last night. I accidentally posted this under the wrong topic, and I cannot delete it. I am sorry if you have seen this post twice.

Thank you! I have never really met anyone in the US that kind of looked like me. Growing up and looking different from most girls was hard for me, but as I got older I have become a little more comfortable with it. As weird as this sounds, it makes me feel better that there is a place where girls look more like me.

I try not bother myself with what guys think of me. I care about how I look for myself. I wear makeup and do my hair for myself. I have a great boyfriend, and I don't really care how I look for him. I don't try to purse my lips like that, it is just my normal resting face.They maybe a little pursed, but honestly I don't even know. I took those picture months ago. If I really actually purse my lips, I look weird. I am sorry if somehow I gave you the impression that I look the way I look for men's pleasure and attention. I don't walk around with my butt and boobs hanging out, because I don't find that sexy nor does it make me feel good about myself. I only posted the black and white ones to show my nose, because I don't take many pictures of myself showing my nose. They are all old photos of me that you can see my features better in, because I wanted to know if I looked polish.

I don't know what you mean by a "pleading sheep face"? If you rather me post a family or group photo of me I can, but I thought it made more sense to just post one of only me. I didn't come on here to be attacked for the way I take pictures, and I know that some of you are trying to help. Everyone has their own views, and that is fine with me.

I also do not like being standoffish. It is just not who I am, and if people don't like that then who cares. Johnny, I get what you are saying, and that is how I try to live my life. I am who I am for me. I just wanted to know if somewhere people kind of looked like me.

Yes, I am young, but I am not that young, I am in my early 20s. I feel as if everyone is talking to me like I am 16. I understand that I do look very young at times, but I wanted to let everyone know that I am not a teenager.
