Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [450]

I have amber/hazel kind of eyes and very dark blonde/light brown hair. I'm more than half Polish... I'm like my dad who has hazel eyes and brown hair & he's 75% Polish. :)

However my sister & I look nothing alike and we have the same parents. She's blonde-haired/blue-eyed.. Methinks she got the German genes in us.

I'm sorry. I just do not like the American culture in general. Most of the American guys I personally know are awful... I'm not saying all are, though. :) I just prefer foreigners.

To each their own, really. Everyone has their own preference no matter what country you're in...

Love / How do Polish boys feel about foreign girls? [163]


I do... I only date Russian men. I'd consider any Slav, really, but I prefer Russians. I live in America and would never date another American boy... ick.

I appreciate the input so far; thank you! :) I'm very much into genealogy, so I'm desperately trying to figure what region I can trace my physical appearance to.

Heheh, I'm about 60% Polish. :) My dad is 75% and I look very much like him. His dad (my grandpa) was 100% and his mom is 50%. My other grandpa (on my mom's side) is 50% Polish and my grandma on my mom's side has some Polish as well.

However, my ancestry consists of:
Polish
French
Italian (Sicilian)
German
Danish
English
Dutch
Irish (possibly... like 1% lol)

I posted a few months ago, but I dyed my hair to my natural color and I wasn't sure if this changed anyone's opinion of what I look like. I'm always told I don't look American, whatever that means, haha. I'm commonly told I look Eastern European, but I think that's fairly generalized. Also, my hair has lightened a little after being dyed. It's like a light brown.

But aren't genes based on ancestry and where your family comes from?

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]


LOL, nope. :p I live in America! I don't like US boys... no morals or respect. :/

Genealogy / I'm polish and have a darker complexion - WHY? [78]

I'm about 60% Polish and of average complexion. I get very pale in the winter, but I can get quite tan in the summer (may be the 12.5% Italian in me lol). As for eye color, mine are a very light brown/hazel. My dad has hazel eyes and he's 75% Polish, but has dark hair. His dad was 100% Polish and I think he had hazel eyes and darker hair as well. My natural hair color used to be very light blonde, but it's getting darker as I get older (I'm 17 now). It's now a dark blonde/very light brown.

So I suppose it really does all depend on location.

Lmao, nah. No one is too ugly for me. :p Plus I think he's quite attractive - he looks very slavic! Mmm, Russians.

I'm addicted to foreigners. :D

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

Very true! I do have my dad's nose and he's mostly Polish. :) So many girls I know have these petite little noses. I'm always just like "mine's Polish and sexy." Lmao. :D

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]


Thanks. :) I have my mom's big brown eyes! Except mine turn greenish and always have a somewhat green tint to them. I always have wide eyes in pictures, but in real life my eyes are more almond shape than anything. :D I always get the most compliments on my eyes, hahah. It's nice though since I'm so darn self-conscious. My nose is big. >.>

Genealogy / Any information about Dziedzic Surname? [35]

Very true. I'm happy that my true Polish surname is rather uncommon in Poland... probably easier to find relatives lol.

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [450]

I have a big nose.. atleast I think so. It has a "bump" on it that my dad has as well... and he's 75% Polish. My mom has it too, probably moreso than my dad and she's probably about 30-40% Polish. I really dislike my nose from the side, but from the front I don't mind it. But many people tell me I have a big nose. :( It's one of the things I'm the most self-conscious about. But now I just don't care any more. I'm content with who I am and proud of any Slavic look I have. :D

Erm, some myspace pix.. lol. But hopefully they kind of show my nose (I always have bright lighting in my pix... lots of windows!).

I have a question... I always see a lot of Poles with tiny noses. Does it depend on the area one's family comes from?

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

Thanks! :) I do have very tiny lips.. lol.

It's weird though. I have almost the same face shape as my dad (more elongated) and he's 75% Polish. But he is also 12.5% English & 12.5% Danish, so that probably explains it. Plus, my mom does have that small bit of English in her as well..

I have my mom's large eyes though. :D

But really, thank you for the replies! I've always been curious, especially because everyone tells me something different. I typically always hear either Polish, English, or French... sometimes Russian. Some random kids at my school think I'm Russian just because I'm dating a Russian immigrant. People are odd hahah.

Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]


Yep. My boyfriend is Russian and that's how he says grandmother. :)

Genealogy / Any information about Dziedzic Surname? [35]

One of my ancestors has this surname as well. I wish it wasn't so terribly common, though!

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]


I really don't have many of her facial features. She is about 40% Polish, but she's also French, German, English, & Sicilian, with a small bit of Irish..

Everyone says I look just like my dad. My sister looks more like my mom.

So I guess this is kind of generalized, but do I look Polish? Or just Slavic in general? Since I know there are several Slavic countries... I'm just wondering. :)

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

Okay, I have some more. Sorry they're not great. I only have my myspace pictures on my computer. Or me riding my horse, lol. I'm not very photogenic though. xD I'm not a fan of having my picture taken, let alone posting myspace pictures.

And here are the actual links from above posted. I most commonly hear I look French, British, or Polish. I've heard Russian too, which I really don't see. :p My parents think I look Eastern European/exotic. I have large eyes and high cheek bones, they're just not prominent. My natural hair color is a dirty blonde/light brown. My eyes change from light brown to hazel. I look A LOT like my dad, who looks like his dad, who was 100% Polish. But most Polish people I've seen of more "roundish" faces and mine is more long. I don't know though... I'm such a mutt!

I'm on the left, my friend is in the middle, and my boyfriend is on the right. It was funny for Halloween since my boyfriend was born in Russia & I dressed as a Russian girl, but he dressed as the Joker. :)
