Dah, thank Basil for me getting that one. :)

He looks very mediterranean to me. Was I wrong to assume most lebanese have more of a semitic phenotype?

I'm guessing i'm not the only one that read LESBIAN instead of LEBANESE? lol

Yeah, I think so. Semitic is mostly any people group from the historical canaan area I think, and the lebanese are particularly called Pheonecian. They would look somewhat different from Egyptians, northwestern africans and arabians. As such I would say they look closer to jewish or jordanian I guess. They're originally the Pheonecian people. Syria which is also close in that region, has people with blue and grey eyes, some are even blond. They can be quite caucasian. Having said that, most are olive skinned I believe (from my exposure at least ;) )

The model name is Mrad Mouwad.

Hard to tell what they resemble without seeing lots of people of that origin I guess, but it's not really surprising that you think he looks mediterranean, lebanon is on the mediterranean.

So, I think you guys want the pics...

Here is a model called Hoda Fadel, I found a few pics I thought were good:

I guess they look alright...?
I can fine Americans, Asians, South Africans, etc. that look great too. Like other people said; there's the good and the bad for every Country.

It's an old, semi-outdated anthropologic term to refer to a group of people sharing certain physical characteristics, like a sub-ethny, that I still find quite useful. Mediterranean is the type you often found on mediterranean european countries (not sure about berbers from North Africa, I think they're included, but I could be wrong). I read once it was common on lebanese christians too.

Just saying because personally I think the mediterranean phenotype is more aesthethically pleasing than semitic types :P

is she of Lebanese descent ? Paula Abdul

@Pie. You've become too wise, there's not much I can do :)

hahaha So you're into middle-easterns!?? Haha

Okay, I found some more.

This one's name is Haifa Wehbe. She's a model actress and singer in lebanon (just discovered her).

Here's some of her singing.

I thought this one of her was pretty cute personally:

I don't get the pop-corn, but it's still a candid shot.

Ok, ok ... Now I'm convinced Lebanese girls are hot.
