Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course, and it's what's on the inside that counts, right? We couldn't agree more. Brains, muscles, teeth, fat and lungs -- they're all on the inside of the men in these cities. We studied everything from education stats and contraceptive and erotica sales (no sex generally equals less hot guys), to the number of gyms and the population's health, exercise habits, obesity and smoking rates in every city in the U.S. to find out where the fugly dudes are. Find out if the men in your city are … not very pretty.
Totalbeauty.com put El Paso at the top of their list back in 2009 as well; Boring! Try some different cities, mix it up a bit. Check out Las Cruces New Mexico, where I live; El Paso can't hold a candle to these guys! It's like they are all from the same branch, of the ugly tree!
I lived in El Paso all my life and remember when the city actually had more attractive people. My only conclusion: Immigration of indigenous Mexicans from Southern Mexico. They are shorter and have a slightly prehistoric bone structure. With years of peasantry new immigrants overindulge here in America and pack on pounds on their already small frames. Pudgy fingers, big faces, waists etc. The taller fairer skinned Euro Mexicans of Northern Mexico no longer immigrate to El Paso like back then. Many Anglos have long deserted the city as well. No diversity here. It's harder to find pretty, handsome and especially thinner people here. Long gone are the days when El Paso actually did have some of the most attractive people in the nation.
as far was what they said about miami, there are a lot of immigrants here, which is porbably why not a lot of men have a high education. also, yes we have great weather compared to the rest of the country, but we dont think so. it's so HOT,people dont want to go outside and get a heat stroke. lots of people go to gyms here instead of run outside. usually people that i see running outside are white people from up north lol
So much truth. Of course, ugly can be anywhere, but, it does seem to be concentrated in these places. Glad to know it isn't just my opinion (not on all, but, on several).
Haha. As much as I hate agreeing with the shallow this is somewhat true. I moved to Alabama from NYC when I was 15 and at 20 years old I'm still a virgin, not because I couldn't get a bf but because I wasn't the least bit attracted to anyone. Since then, I've traveled through all of these cities at least once and came in contact with natives of these towns in college and I'm still not impressed.
Texas has one terrific quality in all its men, fat, thin, young, old, educated or not. By and large they are gentlemen with the instinctive good manners towards women I never find in the self-involved, pseudo-hot guys in places like New York or Colorado or California! Flying out of Houston I never lack for help getting my bag in the overhead bin, doors are held for me and smiles greet me every day. A toned bod is nothing without a loving soul!!
I wonder where they got their information. I have been all over the world and it seems that every city or state or country has ugly men or vise versa women. But in God eyes we are beautiful to him. He is the one who created men an women. I don't know why you would rate any city regarding who has better looking men or women. It's the heart and soul of a men that makes him beautiful not his looks. And if he has a good heart, religious and kind he will always be beautiful to all women. Please step back and consider how to rate next time. Love LVB
you have got to be kidding! There are a lot of gyms in El Paso. And what does how much a guy makes a year have to do with how good looking he is? SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!
As an El Paso guy, we are ugly, we are fat, and we only get paid "wet back" wages. Since we can't afford to go to the gym, we damn sure can't afford all you fake women, that need 100's of dollars of war paint, botox, and store bought boobies, so stay away !!!!! We're number 1, we're number 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think they did enough research for this article, especially for Texas. I don't know about El Paso, but the part I grew up in, the men were cowboys, had very good bodies and hearts of gold. Even in their mid 30s to early 40s they looked damn good. I knew one cowboy who looked better than a young Indiana Jones lol. And they were smart enough to know how to take damn good care of their family and homes, which in texas your family is more important than anything else even education. But they are very nice, speak good english, and know how to live. So who cares whether or not they passed highschool? When you're raising cows and taking good care of yourself and family, thats all that matters, no one cares about or needs algebra and physics there, none of that helps your family or livestock. I'll take a cowboy over a rock-star or doctor any day. They need to replace Texas with shit-hole Kansas city Missouri. Have you seen the men AND women here? Most of them are homeless and look like they've been on meth their whole lives. AND even if attractive, the men treat the women like shit. No thank you, I don't care how smart they are, or how much they have in their wallets. I don't think riches are worth unhappiness and bruises. Take me back to Texas where the REAL men are.
Obviously no one checked out Hartford, CT -- not only are there 2 women for every 1 man, the men are so unattractive that dating is practically impossible!
Whoever studied these statistics, should come to Myrtle Beach, SC. But than again the men in this town might not even make the bottom of the list.. That BAD!!!
I think Juanitolopez08 from El Paso just proved your point. He can't spell, punctuate or put together a coherent sentence. Oh yeah, just what a girl wants in a man.
yeah pretty racist, xenophobic, classist no doubt! But as an El Paso native I do have to agree the men in El Paso are not attractive or intelligent. Very sexist population of men, not all of course, not meaning to over generalize. But about 98%.
I totally disagree with this article Im a regular college student 20 years old Mexican American Im 6.2 feet tall I work out daily arounf 3 hours My incone its little more thank 40k its a desent salary for a part time student, I also drive a sports car and Im from el paso texas lots of others guys would want my physique
wow it sounds to me like the people who wrote this article are extremely classist, xenophobic, and a bit racist. There are very ignorant people working for this website
It sounds to me like Total Beauty judges beauty by economic status. If you live in an impoverished city, according to total beauty you are ugly. It seems pretty ignorant and a bit ethnocentric on the part of the people who wrote this article. I think the authors of this survey are rich ignorant people who have never stepped a foot in the cities they are judging so harshly.
So how is beauty measured again? my husband is an El Pasoan man, his education is 7th grade, but he pays for our house, cars, vacations, and feeds 3 kids, oh, plus he is handsome! It all depends on what your survey took into consideration because being tex-mex is a plus, have you dated a cowboy?
Would you mind adding the source of your data for this study. It seemed to be a disproportioned comparison, especially for Hagerstown's population vs.the larger cities. I visited Hagerstown last year and noticed there were quite few obese women as well as men who chained smoked. The men I encountered were very polite and spoke with a southern accent. I don't think I have ever been Mammed so much in my life. Ugly and education are questionable variables, because we all know brillant,well educated men that are far from handsome. This article sounds like it was written by a teenager. Somewhat funny, but more opinated than factual.
Wow! Let's see....I'm overweight by 30 lbs. But at 20% bodyfat, not hardly obese! I don't have a degree, but I pull in over $70k per year and have over 70 college credit hours in various studies. I don't work out at a gym, but I do work daily on my horse ranch tossing 80 lb bails of hay and working cattle and horses. Teeth, lemme see.....yup, still got em and they still work. Sure am glad I landed my wife before she found out I was one of the ugliest men in the country! John from El Paso
None of these cities compare to the ugly men in London and the UK in general. They don't take care of their teeth and just their overall appearance. I've lived here for 15 years and it just seems to get worse- I'm ready to go home and find a decent looking man!!!
It is always fascinating to find out what the fashion and beauty institutions determine what beauty is. They conjure up fabricated illusions to sell products and show no remorse unless it costs them money. Making people feel ugly, is there way of staying in business. I for one believe the data used for this poor excuse of an article is really sad. How a determined writer can stoop so low and write an article like this is beyond me.
I am from El Paso, I consider myself an attractive guy an I am offended by the survey. Apparently there not enough "real" stories and topics for you guys to talk about. Instead of scrutinizing cities and condoning beauty as the maximum of human worth, you should assess your definition of "beauty."
I have a profile on MyYearbook dot com (I am Male) and one of my friends posted this article in bulletins, after reading it I came here to see what kind of people would even begin to publish such a shallow and downright mean article.
Ever wonder why you do not feel comfortable in your own skin or have trouble in your intimate relations with others ? Do you think happiness is having things, personal wealth or throwing an old lady into the gutter so you can laugh at their misfortune ?
I am not sure you understand what shallow is but to me it means an emotionally unavailable, self centered greedy person with a pathological need to belittle other human beings to make themselves feel better.
At the end of your life when all is said and done can you count this as something you can be proud of ? Will the word Love mean anything as you pass on alone ? Think about that.
I was e-mailed this article and I find it ridiculous. Has anyone noticed the "Related Stories" section displayed? You mean to tell me that you cannot post articles that has to do with the name of your website Total Beauty? Honey, let me tell you, you are not beautiful if you degrade other people.
I live in El Paso and yes all of the men are ugly, fat and stupid. I can not wait to move away from here before they start to film "Dumb,Dumber,and Men from El Paso"
Are you kidding - Houston with ugly men! I lived in NYC and CA, and the men here are very professional and sooooo good looking. Some of these men are so sexy! I was born in South American - I know what good looking is. I have traveled all over the USA and Maryland does not have good looking men. So short, and not very attractive. Also, depending on what you believe - the USA government stats has Houston as #34 for most fit city. Sugar Land ranked in the top 10 of the entire USA. As a CPA, this is a great place if you are a single woman. Other good looking men are located in Phoenix, AZ and San Diego, CA. Los Angeles not so much, - El Paso either.
I'm a native DETROITER that currently live in Kentucky, And I belive that most of our Hunks moved away to better themselves. I'm one of them. I'm a Redford Highschool Grad and Current Medical Student. So keep ya head up DETROIT the Handsome Men are still out there, were just not back home yet. P.S. I'm Eye Candy for the Lady's as well.
WHERE IS THE RESEARCH FOR THE MAGAZINE LOCATED AT? REAL WRITING INCLUDES IN DEPTH RESEARCH INCLUDING THE BASIC INSTINCT TO REPORT THE TRUTH TO THE PUBLIC. I AM DEEPLY OFFENDED BY THIS POSTING ON A MERE ONLINE ARTICLE. IN THIS CASE IT IS SAD HOW THE INTERNET ALLOWS ANYONE TO POST PERSONAL VIEWS THAT ARE AT THE LEVEL OF ILLEGAL PORNOGRAPHY. YOU SHOULD CONDUCT DEEPER RESEARCH, THE CITY OF EL PASO MEETS STANDARDS FAR OVER THE ONES OVER THE PERSON WHO WROTE THIS. A NOTE TO THIS AUTHOR IS TO LOOK YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR, OVERCOME YOUR OBJECTIONS AND FACE REALITY!
I'm from el paso , tx and I seen more overweight girls and actully you see more fat girls going out with men less then 2 their size and I seen and no offense but it's true fat girls putting tide shirts and skirts meat and cellulite coming out
brilliant. education=beauty??? how about uneducated=physical laborer=physically fit??
can someone please tell me the name of the individual who authored this highly scientific study?
I am from El Paso and believe that your survey is a dumb way to rate beauty. I'm dated men from El Paso and they have been some of the most attractive men I've dated. Rating your survey on education makes me feel that you do not understand that El Paso can rank lower in education because it is a border town and the lack of employment opportunities in that town can cause people to struggle to support their family.
I was born and rasied in El Paso, I have to agree! I have visited several cities in the past few years and El Paso isn't doing good. However, home is home, quit making fun of our ugly, fat, dumb men! Most of the women are the same as the men anyways......
Geez, they left off Chicago, with all of Illinois tied in? If stupid, lazy, bald men with paunchy guts are what you want, move here! Also a lot of guys that are so effeminate (can't get their hands dirty, can't work a screwdriver, don't like sports, scared of their own shadows).
Im born and raised in El Paso and I must disagree with us having the ugliest men! Okay yes, we have a couple of over weight, dead beat dogs but most young men are fit and determined to better their education. My husband is also a born and raised El Pasoan and he is handsome, in amazing shape and has a well establised career in Department of Homeland Security. See, not all of our men are ugly!
I must disagree with Houston have ugly men! I lived there for 13 years and have seen some of the HOTTEST members of the male species! My 18 yr. old daughter agrees! Houston has HOT HOT HOT guys!
Wow, you all need to be careful about what you publish. EVERY city in the country has its problems with health, education, BEAUTY, however, what is the definition of beauty since this story targets that subject specifically? You people are probably the ugly ones hiding behind the title Total Beauty. Sad, sad, sad. It's not nice to say UGLY things about anybody, shame on you! You've offended a lot of people you know. Nolan Richardson, Danny Olivas, Sandra Day O’Connor, Anthony Quinn, Eddie Guerrero, Don Haskins…ever heard of them? Maria Ruiz, Elvia Hernandez, Arturo Medina, Howard…ever heard of them? Probably not, because they are too UGLY for you.
I disagree with El Paso having "ugly guys" Have editors for this magazine been to Dallas. Although i agree that El Paso needs to work on the health issue, Im surprised about the education issue in El Paso, two large universities, each with a census of about 20K and many other small universities and colleges in the metro area. Plus, UT El Paso (UTEP) is the fourth in state of texas for research funding. Many hot degreed persons in El Paso.
Actually, I live in El Paso.. a city of about 600,000 people. Yes, there are problems with graduation rates, largely due to the amount of cross border traffic and failure of bi-lingual education initiatives, but we also have the highest rates of hispanic engineering graduates and a significantly higher post-secondary education completion rate than most cities out size. As for the number of gyms, we have over 80 fitness / gym / personal training sites spread out across the city. I don't know where the statistics came from, but with numerous branches of the Y, Curves, HerGym, Planet Fitness, Powerhouse, WorldGym and others, many of which have discounted membership rates and high #'s of active members, I see fewer and fewer overweight guys here. Check your facts again Totalbeauty instead of relying on outdated studies and assigning negative stereotypes to cities that you don't actually have real data for.
As far as El Paso goes, I completely agree with you about the guys being ugly. But as far as the over weight issue, most of the guys in their twenties aren't overweight. Also, we just got a big military population here, most of them fit and satisfactory to look and to bed. Not to mention, we don't have tex-mex! San Antonio has tex-mex, are food is better is better than the crap you find everywhere esle in the country!
i live in hagerstown and this is true... but where the hell did hagerstown come in with all these other big cities. It's really random. We're just a semi small town....
I've always known this about El Paso, TX! You always see gorgeous women with ugly men. This also explains why cheating is so common in this city... the men have LOW self-esteem... which I'm convinced causes cheating.
i live in Hagerstown and I am a guy that is not like what you say but. All I know that God made us for who we are. We may think we are ugly but in God's eye we are beautiful.
Interesting how this website compares a town like Hagerstown (with a population of about 40,000) to large cities like Philidelphia, Houston, and Miami (who have populations in the millions). Why pick on a small town like Hagerstown? It just goes to show how poorly this site gathers information for its lists. I guess it does not matter when the study is conducted by a website that could easily be voted as being in the top 10 Most Superficial/Narcistic/Unimportant Websites on the Net. This site is made up of weak content that is out weighed by gross advertising.
