According to an online poll taken by Travel +Leisure magazine, Miami residents are the most attractive in the US. As someone who's visited there, I can see why! Philadelphia came in last at number 25, with New Orleans as a close runner-up. When looking at the correlation between good-looking people and singles, you might be pleasantly surprised — seems like there are a lot of pretty single people out there, especially in San Francisco and Texas.

The notion of a specific place having more good-looking people than another is kind of funny, but it's so true! When ever I travel to New York or Los Angeles, there's someone beautiful to look at everywhere you turn. In my opinion, the best-looking people reside in the Big Apple, but what about you? What city do you think houses the best-looking people?









Francesco Biasia
Antik Batik
Miss Sixty
I agree with DearSugar that NYC has the best looking people. I was born and raised in the city so I may be just a teeeeny, tiny bit bias. LOL
Miami has some hot people though!! Caliente lol
1I'm not sure. Haven't been to enough to give my thoughts. BUT I thought it was really funny this morning to listen to the radio station that I always lisen to (Philly station) and they were talking about how they were voted the to have the ugliest people. I think some of them were really hurt!
2I think anywhere in Florida. I feel like a complete hag when I go there!
3Most Likely NYC and anywhere in FL. Of course I live in FL so I'm biased.
4I think we're quite nice-looking in San Diego. More so than L.A.
5NYC all the way... :]
I'm not terribly fond of the overall aesthetic/style of Miami.
6well i can tell you it's NOT chicago lol.
7I agree with sonya, I'm not fond of the aesthetic/style of Miami either.
But I'm from Philly and I don't think we're a particularly ugly city.
8CANADA!
9The whole thing is weird. How do you judge it, anyway? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! There's hot people everywhere, I think!
10hm I agree with bluestar...how do you judge whats beautiful?! I think Angelina is amazing but my boyfriend doesn't find Angelina attractive at all..
11ooo I live in Miami and there are definitely good looking people here
12Newfoundland.
It's true!
LMAO
13why thank you
14i hope im one of those pretty texans theyre talking about
hahaa
however
i dont think texas should be so up high on the list...
i mean.. pretty single guys??? where?!
Helsinki?
Any city in Finland, probably!
15MIAMI BABY!!!!!!! WHERE THE HOTTNESS DOES NOT STOP!!!!
16it depends on what you consider good looking though! I have a friend who loves living in Texas because she's into the whole "good ol' boy" cowboy look, which I am sooooo not a fan of! And whenever I go to NYC I'm getting whiplash from staring at the hot guys on every corner, whereas she is not so impressed.
I can see how LA and Miami would win because there's something for everyone - hippies, plastics, bohemians, beach bunnies and even yuppies . . . . whatever you like they have.
17Doesnt Miami have the highest plastic surgery numbers too? Its all about appearances there.
I would think NYC would be the highest since it is full of models? I always feel ugly when I go there.
San Diego, #2 has a lot of lookers too I think.
I was surprised that Charleston, #4 was so high up there, and I'm surprised Philly even made the cut.
18I think this is a silly question but if I had to choose I'd somewhere in Brazil or all of South Florida.
19Austin, Texas!
20Hmm, I'm assuming she means within US, and I'd have to say NYC. LA is not all what it's made out to be imho...people are just blond there
21Yay!! San Diego is #2! I agree, but I think it's more of a "natural" beauty and not AS much plastic or marterialistic as LA or Miami
22PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS PARIS Everyone in Paris is gorgeous, it's ridiculous.
23I live in Santa Barbara, CA and let me tell you that seriously like 95% of our population is overwhelmingly attractive.
24Yay for Denver. Represent
.
25I live in New York, but the best looking overall population, in my opinion, is in San Antonio. Great looking people there!
26I would say it is between LA, Miami, and NYC. That is where most of the modeling agencies are so the 'beautiful" people gravitate to them. I live in S. FL and go to South Beach fairly regularly so I see them a lot.
27I just saw this on the news!...I'm kind of partial to San Diego! lol...we came in 2nd.
28I agree with ladolce about the natural beauty in San Diego. I always felt ugly in NYC but prettier in San Diego. Somethin about dressing casual and not trying so hard that just makes you feel good in your own skin
29I think the whole debate is kind of shallow personally. Who cares which city has the prettiest people? What about the kindest or the most welcoming... maybe the smartest or the least superficial. I would like a list of those places please
30I haven't been to ALL the cities, but from what I have seen, I love them Boston boys!!!
31yea i live in santa barbara too, sooo many pretty people!
32Miami!
33Honolulu! The first time I took my husband to visit my hometown he asked me where we hide all our ugly people.
34Mm, Blackwood has a point. Finnish guys are hot on a stick, seriously.
But if I have to go USA, I have to say my old town of Austin, naturally!
35i live in NYC and i think that we have a LOT of great looking people but i have to say that when i lived in Florida - in ft lauderdale specifically i could agree that south florida had the prettiest people. i think that there's something to be said about someone who's not only in shape but who has that healthy tan/glow from the climate which makes a person more attractive.
36BOSTON!
37Not counting transplants in many of the metro cities - the most beautiful people come from the South and the Midwest. Hands down. The beautiful people in LA, NYC and other cities... they came from the heartland.
38damn right mcjuga! nothing beats a midwestern! we never get the respect we deserve.
i do have to say that israeli women are def the most beautiful in the world. and scandinavian men are damn fine!
39New York City! WOOOHOOO! We're not ONLY gorgeous, we're diverse and smart!
40I would say that Miami would be right up there. When the weather is always hot you have to be in great shape to wear such skimpy clothes practically all year round. Miami is a very sensual place so that always helps to have sexy people.
Single people are usually sexier because they have to try a lot harder. Married or coupled men and women aren't trying to attract a mate (hopefully) so they aren't going to put in as much effort.
I wouldn't limit sexiness to one city anyway because there are sexy people in every city and town and there are always ugly folks to.
