Yep! I have a tiny bit of Native American blood in me. Along with English, German, Irish, Swedish, Norwegian, Polish. A regular smorgasbord, really.

Yes!!! And don't remind us we're 0-for-8 in world wars.

I have rather boring blue/grey eyes... When I was a kid I used to be pissed because I wasn't born with brown eyes..

I'm pretty much English. Mty mother is English, my father and grandparents were English. So were their parents!!! Again I'm rather boring!! From what I understand some of my ancestors were Irish so thats something I guess!

That's because every time Italy gets invaded, they surrender.

I am 100% Italian and boy do I look it; my relatives are all very dark eyed/olive skinned/hairy!! Way too much hair; it's horrible especially for the women. I hear my dad had some cousins that were fair/light... but I never saw them, so hence I don't truly believe it.

My kids are half Italian and I think my daughter looks it more than my son, although both of them have the big dark eyes and long lashes.

After seeing the photos on here you took yesterday I would have said for sure you had Italian and native American ancestory in your family. The bridge of your nose and jaw is more American and the eyes and mouth have Italian subtle features..

It's cool to have a mix, anybody with a colourful DNA mix is going to look more interesting than a boring clone (like me!!)

I love blue eyes! My eyes used to be completely blue when I was a kid, but now they are more of a mixture of blue/green and grey. My mom has hazel eyes and my dad has blue...so it's a mix of them, I guess.

Blue and green eyes are awesome because most of our body is brown...so to have color somewhere on your body is pretty rad, IMO. Of course, there are pink/red lips too, but eye color is just interesting to me. LOL Also, it's cool for those born with naturally rosy cheeks.

I'm an Irish lad, even though I don't fit the stereotypical look.....but boy, can I drink!!!!!!!

I don't think you look boring at all. I mean, you have blue eyes and light hair, but your features are interesting. Anyway, I thought you were cute. And not boring. I wonder if a lot of people think they look boring? Are we just used to our faces? You know when you see those really gorgeous, unusual looking people? Like Asians with green eyes, or, I think my friend rain is weird cause she has strawberry blond hair, light skin, but with brown eyes and native cheekbones, or when you see African people with blond hair, or just anyone like that - do you think they think they look boring? How weird.... I guess it's easier for us brown/browns to think we're boring, but still.

I think you have it a bit, with those sparkly, eyelashy, mischievous blue eyes. That totally reminds me of irish. And your eyebrow color...I dunno, you look like an irish cutie to me! Well, maybe your mouth/jaw reminds me of German things, but what do i know?

I think that's what it is, people think they look boring because they're so used to seeing themselves, whereas someone might see them on the street and go "Hello, gorgeous."
