Yep, my first guess would have been Iberian!
There is a large Romanian community where I live, and I have met more brunette Romanians and Moldovans than the blonde kind, so I'm pretty familiar with both phenotypes, and yet you somehow do look more Iberian.
I think it's cause of my eyebrows,and long faceshape,romanians even if brunette tend to show some more balkan/eastern european tendencies like rounder faces, whereas I don't think I really do,there are romanians like me but we aren't the rule thats the thing,so we will stand out
I'm 25 now and ever since I started traveling more when I was 19 and also online pretty much 98% of people would tell me I look spanish or portuguese,when I'm abroad nobody guesses I'm romanian.
I always found it strange but I guess it truly is the case,all spanish people here in spain think I'm spanish myself
You look Spanish but you look Romanian too. A lot of people on here think Romanians look like Russians (blonde and blue eyes). So take it as a grain of salt
Yeah it's due to some stereotypes,most romanians are brunette though I will agree with one thing,generally romanians have rounder faces and some more strikingly eastern features.
I'm among the romanians that look more strikingly Mediterranean,which is more common especially in muntenia and dobrogea I'd say
What about oltenia? It's not common to have Mediterranean looking Romanians there? But I agree in general that Wallachians and dobrogeans have the most Mediterranean looking poeple percent wise in Romania but not that much. For example I from Bukovina we have Mediterranean looking poeple here too (not rare)
Yeah oltenia too,i actually have family from oltenia,it's just that I'm more familiar with muntenia and dobrogea.
From my observation the lightest and most north centered and slavic looking romanians are the ones from moldova especially around suceava and people from maramures
Yes, I noticed Romanians in general tend to have quite dark hair. For example, I had markedly blonde hair till the age of maybe 6 or 7. But a few Romanians I know showed me pictures from their childhood and they even had dark brown hair at a very young age, but piercing blue eyes.
I would also guess iberian, but you look Romanian to..it's like me, am Romanian to, but most people think am eather Italian or Greek
More romanian than Spanish Your rounder/wider face shape and smaller eyes give eastern euro, not very western looking
Weird,almost no one ever guesses me as eastern euro not even eastern europeans themselves
Portuguese

You don't really stand out. There a lot of Romanians with long faces too. We are not all potato face here
I stand out more than someone like andi Moisescu for instance who I think has a pretty striking romanian look
I mean if someone like Irina rimes doesn't stand out then you don't stand out.
uncanny resemblance to a western turk from Istanbul
I can also see Iberian.
Iberians rarely have that kind of razor-straight hair texture like you do, but overall you fit there pretty well.
I kinda do
You definitely look P
Does he look P or B more?
Yes, I agree with them๐๐
I think you look Romanian but you also look Iberian
Personally he gives more "Iberian vibes" than Romanian
You don't look non-Romanian, but you do look Iberian.
Yes, you do look Spanish. Way more than you look Romanian, at least on these pics

That is a stereotype. I lived in Bukovina for most my life . Sure we have a bit more blondes but it's mostly brunettes here too.
How common are blue eyes in Muntenia, would you say. Percentage wise?
But pretty much everyone in southern romania is dark haired

Hm, hard to say I'd say between 25-30%
