I can't decide. But yes, probably more Germanic. But to me people like Edwin van der Sar looks like a stereotypical Dutch person.

Just curious... since i've been mistaken for a Russian in the Far East (Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore) multiple times, what exactly makes me look Slavic? Body shape? Head shape? Eyes? Mouth? Nose?

For some reason people in the Americas (USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia) never thought i was Slavic. Always guessed Western European or North American.

While in my own country i've been mistaken for pretty much every non-Slavic European nationality (Irish, English, Danish, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Romanian)

In Thailand tourists came up to me starting to talk Russian many times, asking for directions and whatnot, didn't care much about it but thought by myself damn do i really look that Russian.

I'd say eyes and mouth.

But that's normal. I'm mostly mistaken for a German when abroad, though Slovenian is the most exotic I've heard. I'm not prepared to post a picture of myself, but some have seen me in pics. Owenc said I look Norwegian.

I would say no although the top part of your face looks familiar to me people from my region of Portugal who are mixed with Flemish very distantly and you can see features similar to yours in some people.

More like Dutch/Slovenian.
