Do we *look* English?

the guy in the navy blue ralph looks a lot more English than Fritz on the right, who looks typically German to me.
 
Yeah in the picture linked the guy in the polo shirt doesnt "look" like a german geezer. Although its perfectly possible he is.

It would be interesting to see a picture of people of multiple nationalitys together and see if they are distinguishable .

I really hate this stupid stereotype that English people have bad teeth. Seems to always be Americans going on about it. The only difference I've noticed with Americans is there are a lot more people with extremely whitened teeth.

They are much more likely to have work to straighten their teeth too. Tbh, it's much more common here now than it was 15-20 years ago.
 
I can spot certain types of British people, usually low-class chavy types that breed often and only within their own gene(cess)pool.

Most other brits have a pretty varied genetic heritage, so I can't really spot them easily.

Many other European countries I can spot based on look, though certain areas like Scandinavia and the eastern bloc I can't make out the individual country, just the general area.

Spanish, German, Greek, Italian, French, all easy to spot.

Germans specifically often have very square faces and beady eyes.
 
When I go to visit my parents at their house in France, you can always play spot the Brit at the supermarket - I'm pretty good. Some things are obvious e.g. old boy wearing shorts and sandals with socks that go all the way up to the knee, pasty white skin, clothes that look like they came from M&S.
 
Oh yeah original post. Yes we look very English, especially northerners, even Scottish people look different with their spiteful mouths and cold eyes.
 
I don't really thing we are that indistinguishable from Germans and other Europeans, if you take away the clothes it makes it much harder.
Usually when I have been in a hotel filled with Germans, the thing that sets them apart from us is that they seem to be more likely to have a beard otherwise I don't think there are any other differences.
