I am a Belgian, who is very much northern to northwestern Flemish up until at least the early 18th century or so and... I am the palest person in my near family. I don't have a single distintively blonde and blue eyed cousin or even second cousin. Look at my avatar. I am dark blonde/light...

No, I don't care. One of my best friends (* one of my few friends) is Indian and that might not seem like much, but there are still plenty of prejudices towards people here that are less common where I live and I met her on a international summer camp where I also got along with Costa Ricans...

No, and I don't plan to be either. Why? Because I try (or plan, as I still live with my parents) to eat local and seasonal and if I were vegetarian, that would mean surviving on carrots and cabbages in winter. I try to eat less meat, as I understand the conventional meat industry is very...

All right wo are the 52 assholes who say it's bad and should be banned. Kind regards, A girl who likes girls.

Why 'for men'? Lesbians exist. I don't care, as long as the person is pretty and has interesting looks. Everyone can be attractive, but I prefer light eyes and slightly wavy/curly hair, full lips and big eyes. I have high standards.

Probably. Here it's okay right now, still kind of cold, but normal. In fact, snow on easter isn't weird- just rare, and with the in general warmer temperatures of the last years people aren't used to it anymore. But I'm cold quickly, so I can't wait for at least sunny and 15 degrees. I'm getting...

Definitely, unless we would divide populations in 4867532167 races. There is so much diversity in the world. There are for sure places were people look very different form people from other places. You have a blonde, tall, blue-eyed swede with high cheekbones and straight nose, a dark skinned...

See, for you it's 'normal' to have that bloodgroup.

Even then it isn't exactly likely and normal.

B positive here. Not any ancestry from the himalayas though, as far as I know (and it's very unlikely)

I don't know for sure but I think it's more common in historical flanders (current West- and East-Flanders, where I live) which is logical, is that region had a lot of trade with the british isles in medieval Europe. On several 'red hair maps' that region also has the most redheads of Belgium:

That's very likely of course, especially were I live and where I see all those straight-haired redheads - Belgium is on the exact border of the germanic world and the celtic world.

With that reasoning it's indeed kind of wavy, but faaaaaaar from curly obviously and my hair is kind of gingery too.

It's funny you say that because 8 out of ten redheads I know has really straight or at most slightly 'big' wavy hair (like mine, it's isn't straight, but it doesn't have waves either. It just has...Movement)

1m66. One cm less than the average height of the Belgian woman and probably the average in my family. Exciting.
