double lol. Guys from PT, ES, IT can look more northern European that some German guys. A lot more of Germanic and Scandinavian heritage in the northern part of these countries.
Not really, there are some celtic blood in northern spain/italy and for the most part those fair types in spain/italy, etc look like the other countrymen but just with lighter pigmentation. The exception might be in some areas of sud-tyrol that used to belong to austria but were anexed to italy (hence germanic speaking italians). There are hardly scandinavian/german heritage in southern europe.
A few of those light spaniards might somewhat roman/celto-germanic mixes like britishmen,northern french, wallons, but they wont pass for "very" germanic looking groups (scandinavian, dutch, northern germans etc).
Anyways we are talking about averages, and on average you can always spot the southern european group of guys walking down anywhere on north of alps and west of france.

About Greece not being a first world country... LOL. Just because they're broke doesn't mean that the civilization that they've built up during thousands of years will suddenly fall behind Russia or Brazil (2nd world countries). It surely has seen better times, but people are rather peaceful and it's still a lot safer than the US (which I'm sure, you will consider a 1st world country).
No doubt greece is the birth of the western culture and has more than anybody else to claim the title of real western culture, so Europe is a word of greek origin. The point is those women from east europe look for wealth, money and an easier life than back in home which they will be more likely to find in other countries of western europe like france, uk, germany,etc or the US and anglo world , compared to greece which has been unstable and not really a solid economy for decades, even prior crysis greece never was first option of moving to people that used to live in second/third world countries.
