No offence to the Bulgarians but, in most of the pictures posted above, the people do not look like FY Macedonians. They look somewhat Turkish in appearance instead. Are the people above from a certain area perhaps? Don't get me wrong, we have people that look like that too but it's a small bunch.
The last few that Ruse posted though, are more like former Yugo people.

That guy with the suit with neon-green looking shirt looks extremely Albanian IMO. In general, I think many of these Bulgarians looks similar to Macos from FYROM.

Just took a quick evaluation of the viewable faces (131 faces total)
- Balkanic look ....................................(60 faces or 45%) - 'Greek' look .......................................(43 faces or 32%) (or look much more found in Greece then elsewhere in the vicinity) (To avoid Confusion Greeks mainly belong to two above types) - Mixed Slavic/Balkanic look ...............(9 faces or 6.9%) - Slavic look .......................................(9 faces or 6.9%) - Turkic (Turanid) look .......................(7 faces or 5.3%) - 'Gypsy' or mixed Gypsy ...................(3 faces or 2.2%) - Nordic or Scandinavian ...................(0 faces or 0%) - Mixed or Unidentifiable ...................(0 faces or 0%)
*Turanids and 'Gypsies' here looks mixed with locals *Balkanic looks more crude and more influenced by UP (Upper Paleolithic with more exaggerated features.. one ex. is Dinarics) *Greek look is more med, more symmetrical and more refined.
So rough draft of the faces is that -almost 1/2 looks Balkanic -1/14 mixed Slavic/Balkanic -1/14 looks Slavic -1/3 looks Greek -1/13 looks Asian
All in all 77% looks native (Balkanic and 'Greek') (Balkan look would be Thracians, Dorians and Illyrians) (Balkan look is basically Mountain Greeks ;D ;D ;D ) ('Greek' look would be Minoans etc) Additional 7.5% looks like deluted natives
---------------- Total 84.5% look native and partially or mainly native

"Total 84.5% look native and partially or mainly native"
Fvcking unbelievable. Balkan people look like people from the Balkans...never ever would anyone come to such a massive conclusion.

The funniest thing in this comment is: Most pictures do show Bulgarians from Pirin Macedonia (actually children with too much make up and no sense of style who graduate school)... So from the Nikolas comment we can assume that ethnically those children from Pirin Macedonia are deffinately not Macedonians... I thought the Macedonians claimed that in Pirin Macedonia only Macedonians lived who were bulgarized... I guess not

You could be simply making that up. But more importantly, I have never claimed that Macedonians are all of the same ethnic make-up. Those near Bulgaria, would look more like Bulgarians. Those near Greece, like Greeks, etc. Nice try at being clever but you failed.

Bulgarians look interesting. And we are very different in most cases.
I think that if Bulgarian ladies stop wear and have style of 80's with red painted hair or ultra blond... they would look better.

Patrinos, I do not belive that most Bulgarian ladies have 80ties style. Style really depends on the person, we can not categorize here... It depends on the mindset, lifestyle etc... As for us being different to Greeks, it depends which Greeks, because I have been in Chalkidiki and in Thesaloniki many times - those people deffinately look similar to Bulgarians. However I think in some there are distincts Greek features... For example I saw an old man who looked to me like a typical ancient Greek... JUst like I imagined Plato looked like.

Bulgarians tend to have wider, dare i say, asiatic faces, also higher cheekbones.

I believe the Montenegrins oppinion is based totally on propaganda. We know that thanks to Yugo you were exposed on antibulgarian propaganda where u were thought that we are tatars, mongols, yellow race... that propaganda was sucsessful, especially considering what happened with macedonia... but that what it is: propaganda... bulgarians are not asiatic, or if we have those genes they are deffinately not more than the asiatic inflow in montenegro. if we have to classify bulgarians, the reality is we are mediteranean... the shown faces have no asiatic features.
