Difference in looks between Western and Eastern Europeans

[oc16]

I think this photo is a perfect example since both men are standing side by side.

On the left you have an American General with the last name Donahue. Donahue is an Irish surname, but this is a typical Western European look (Irish, British, French, German, Belgian, etc.)

On the right you have a Polish Slavic General. This is a typical look of a lot of Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Czechs, Belarusians etc. Croatians, Serbs, Bulgarians have a similar look but will be darker.

Notice the striking difference.

Western Europeans: Longer and more oval shapes faces, larger eyes.

Eastern Europeans: Rounder/Broad face shape, high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, eyes are a more almond shape.

I know the distinction is not as strong amongst Western and Eastern Europeans, but this is a good example.

Eastern european features work better on women than men, western ones on both equally, southern ones on men.

I think I would agree with that statement.

Women seem to like darker men since it perhaps shows "dominance" and masculinity on an unconscious level.

While I agree that Eastern and Western Europeans look different, I don't think either of those generals is a typical representatives of his ethnic type (if there is such a thing).
