Are the British facially different from the Americans?

Question

If someone from Britain were to stand next to an American and neither were to speak, would you know who was who? I've often thought that there is a difference in the eyes, but interested to know other opinions.

Okay, think in terms of the eyes. Personally I think that the Americans have slightly more....erm, how can I describe this.....twinkly eyes.

Answer 1

I find all your answers very interesting. I'm an American. There are a lot of British people that visit my state. I seem to notice right away if they are British. I can't explain it but they just have a different way about them. I love to talk to them and find their accents very nice. I never thought of us having an accent and always wondered how we sound to them? Where I live most of us are very thin probably cause I live where the sun shine 365 days year. So, not all Americans are fat slobs. I like to watch BBC sometimes cause it is so different from American T.V.

Answer 2

I can usually tell but its not so much the facial features, sometimes clothes, i don't mean the stereotype check pants, and hair styles can be quite different. I sat next to a couple recently and immediately knew that they were Americans, and he was or had been in the military, just his bearing, odd, never thought of it before.

Answer 3

I suppose that WASP's everywhere display a kind of grim equality. But bear in mind that America is quite ethnically diverse; thus the handsome Latin type that I exemplify is becoming common in the US. I suggest that comparison between Andalusian and American faces would be more apt.

Answer 4

Yep! The Brit would have pound signs in the eye's
The American would have dollar signs.

Answer 5

Everyone is treated equally. That is my opinion. I never treat no one different. I actually don't no the difference between a British and an American. I don't judge people by the way they look. This is my answer to your question.

Answer 6

i think theres a difference in the jaw. americans always seem to have really big mouths and chins for some reason. they also pull excessive facial expressions when they speak. really annoys me

Answer 7

I don't think you can tell. Although Americans tend to tan more & British tend less white teeth.

Answer 8

Depends if they are average people or celebrities. Americans stars seem more glamorous

Answer 9

it depends on what ethnic group they came from, if it was a native Amercian it might be a bit more obvious, but if they were both from the same group (black or caucasian etc) then there probably isn't much difference.

Answer 10
