| | Re: 9 months in Switzerland - a honest report. | Quote: | |  | | | Yes. And similarly, how does anyone new to Switzerland decide, amongst all those strangers on the tram, etc., which ones are Swiss and which are not? | | | | | it's very simple to differentiate swiss from others: Defined jawline, particularly in women, cheekbone prominence, forward growth, favoured facial development and in general very healthy look. For me it's as simple to recognise swiss as it is simple for a swiss to recognise a guy from slavic origins.
Slavs tend to have less attractive facial features - rounded eyes, rounded and wide faces, rounded head shape, pale skin and deficient central face. Slavic looks is basically the opposite of swiss. Slav looks is what most people describe as russian or polish look.
It's very easy to defferentiate swiss from central european, let alone from other nations. But most of the persons that take a seat next to me in public transport, are black, asians, poles, balcans, turkish, kurdish, indian and I can detect these guys from 2km away. Swiss usually skip my seats, take a seat next to me and then keep staring.

Long years of integration have not changed this community sense of humor, I think the mix between the expat and local sense of humor is ideal. Deadpan.

Tom | | | | | I remember when I was in Prague, Czech Republic. Nobody liked me there from the first second, because I was giving off that russian vibe. Not sure whether it was entirely looks-based or it was because I'm a russian - one have to know that russia, or better said ex soviet union, was raping czech republic for 30years under that bloody communist regime.

| | Re: 9 months in Switzerland - a honest report. | Quote: | |  | | | Slavs tend to have less attractive facial features.. | | | | | How dare you  People always say the opposite.
And - despite your "analysis" I have a very large "forwardly growing" frontal lobe: potent and fast.
Wait..we had this here before. A dupe. What was your name before? A Russian guy complaining his Slavic looks prevented him from mingling?
Anyways, there are looks and there are looks. Attractiveness is in the eyes of the beholder.

If only there were some way we could get the Swiss to improve themselves as a result of this deep insight.

| | | Quote: | |  | | | Anyways, there are looks and there are looks. Attractiveness is in the eyes of the beholder. | | | | | this is only true for non-attractive people. If you're attractive, most of people will find you attractive no matter of the culture. Facial features that make one attractive are even mathematically describable, so basically you can put facial attractiveness in number and have a measure for it. Take an american guy who banged 100 chicks (#of banged chicks = 'by the tumb' measurement of facial attractiveness), take a russian guy who banged 100 chicks, take japanesse guy who banged 100 chick and look at their facial features. You'll find they share the same pattern. | Quote: | |  | | | I'm betting on the outstanding personality. | | | | | how can you even speak about personality, if I didn't even say a word at that point?Looks is what makes people interested in you and personality is what makes them stay. Looks isn't just for banging women, it's also important for every day social interaction, for getting a job etc... And FYI, personality is highly biased by one's look (the perception thingy, if you ever heard about this) especially in short-term social interactions.
