I have noted an interesting fact...
I have noted an interesting fact: I pretty much always recognize Russian Italki-mambers by photo, not yet having seen their name or other information. Only by the face. I can't define which face features allow me to do it, but it's the fact :) I'm curious, do you recognize your compatriots by photo? Or people of same nationality?To make sure, I have I conducted an experiment just now: I opened "friends" (not "my friends"), covered the colomn of information with a sheet of paper, and guessed. I regarded 7 primary pages = 105 members. The result is: there were 6 members whom I considerd as Russians. Really 5 of them are Russians indeed, and 1 is Belorussian. It feels as if I recognize someone well acquainted in a crowd. It's so amazing, really.

I can't recognize people from my country all the time, but I can always recognize Russian LADIES. In my opinion it's not a matter of features, but more a matter of culture ( though the features can help a little too). So rather than recognizing Russians, I can say I can recognize Russian girls' photos. Why is it so? Because:
-Russian girls usually have long hair.
-They use more make-up than other Europeans ( but less than Indians, Arabs and Iranians).
-They use "artistic" photos rather than plain ones. They have to be in the studio, wearing some kind of special dress, or lying down in the grass or hugging a tree or dancing or posing in some other way.
The Belorussians have the same habits. That's why one of them could go through your filter ;)
Of course, they're also the most beautiful :)

Well, you are Russian, so it shouldn't be too hard. I can tell, Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans apart by their faces. It's a matter of practice.

The result that you have reached is expected.
It is logical that the faces of people from the same country are similar.
I think there are several reasons for this: common environment, hereditary factors, ...
Knowing the origin of people just by looking at their photos, is a beautiful art.
But, it stay relative, and not enough, because there are always exceptional cases.

I can usually tell by people's cheekbones and always recognise people from their photo if they are from the Baltic States. Australians have mixed heritages so their nationality is harder to pin point.When I was travelling in the UK, I recognized the nationality of people as soon as they said hello.

heh )
do you recognize a Russian even in my kitty-face? ))
to be honest, it is really easy to note a Russian in the crowd of westerners, and a westerner in the crowd of Russians
Even the few black Russians have Russian faces!!! )))
I think that people from eastern Europe and Russians have one expression, while people from the USA and western Europe have another common expression.
Westerners are generally more positive and less reserved, they smile often ^^
and they never purr!!! RRIAUU !!!
