Way to stereotype 8 million people.

Have any ideas where?
I realize your profile says "not a member" but if you're still reading, I just wanted to say, there are quite a few Latinos in Alabama and Mississippi.

Not sure how someone would call him latino, as he is from Portugal. Americans of Portuguese descent are not common (except in Road Island and Massachusetts), but they fall into the category of white Americans.
Don't forget Hawaii - there are tons of us!

Dafuq?

To me, he doesn't look like an average White American no matter where the hell he's from. He could be from England and still not look White.

White is such a malleable term. Really depends on who you ask.

Most people in Middle America see dark skin, dark hair, dark eyes, and the truth is, many think "non-White". This honestly makes sense because Mediterranean people are very much not like Northern Europeans in terms of physical appearance. The East Coast might be an exception because of the large Mediterranean element in big cities like New York and Boston.

That and genetic race does not exist. Not that this is pertinent to the thread.

But, when you go outside of the East Coast (and especially when you visit the Midwest), the idea of what is White changes DRASTICALLY. Go to Western Michigan and ask them if they think a Portuguese person is White.

To answer your question, OP, I have personally found that lighter haired White girls tend to go for darker guys like him. He would be considered good looking by many light haired women in my opinion. Kind of how Irish girls go for Italian guys. So would women in the South (which has a big percentage of English, Scots and Irish descended women) find him attractive? I'd like to think so based on what I have observed.

I say this with personal experience because most girls that have been attracted to me have been of the fairer, lighter haired variety. Which sucks for me because I actually go for darker brunettes. But I find that THEY go for the pasty White boys.

Personally, his dark look is kind of the standard in my opinion on what women tend to like, anyway. I haven't heard many women say they like pasty blondes much. Except maybe as a safe option for marriage.

The guy is 6'1, has a dark complexion and dark features. He also has a six pack and is not overly muscular. So, I think many women in the US would swoon for the guy.

Just about anywhere. I don't get the plucked eyebrows, but he's not particularly "foreign" looking.

Not entirely true. Depends who you ask. In a city like NY or Boston (or anywhere in Jersey) he would fit in well. But in say, Omaha or Sioux Falls (or anywhere in the Dakotas) he would probably be thought of as "some Mexican guy"

He looks more Middle Eastern to me. Too hairy to be Mexican.
