No. 8: Atlanta, Ga.

Atlanta is home to Julia Roberts (People's Most Beautiful person of 2010), supermodel Chanel Iman and sexy singers like Usher, Ne-Yo, John Mayer and Keri Hilson. Even Canadian teen heartthrob Justin Bieber spent some time hanging out in this sizzling town. Add a thriving nightlife scene and loads of southern hospitality, and you've got a town full of lookers.

I will say this I have lived in 8 different states and traveled to almost all the continental US and would not attribute a city’s attractiveness to a handful actors or models. I think of it more like this; If you are “any place” in the respective metro areas how attractive are the people around you. My ranking would be as follows: 1) Miami 2) Salt Lake City (if you like the tall gorgeous perfect body blondes) Some don’t that’s why Miami is #1 3) Portland OR. Hands Down Top 3 are distant to the rest. The top 3 are so distant compared to the rest the bottom of the list is not worth mentioning because NYC is not the next best thing to Portland OR. 4) New York City 5) FT Lauderdale 6) Anywhere Colorado (Men) LA and the metro area are not note worthy neither are the folks in Chicago, nor Dallas or so on. So I didn’t forget them they are just not that attractive, sorry.

Most of these weren't too surprising, but seeing Atlanta was.

Seriously? Is this story even necessary? Are we rating cities by vanity, plastic surgery, or what?

LA is #2!!! San Diego is a beautiful city too with lots of gorgeous people. I love it there.

I always know beautiful people live in Los Angeles, but I hadn't thought of other places where the beautiful flock.

Of course most of these are cities where people like to show off skin.

of course these are the best looking... they're cities, stocked full of salons, boutiques, plastic surgeons, spas, gyms... you name it they have it.

Boston, Baby! We should be #1!!!

by Jamcelhinney Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 09:11AM Report as inappropriate

Haha Go Los Angeles!(:

by JennaGuru Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 06:36AM Report as inappropriate

I think that NYC should have been number 1!!! I live in CT which is a 45-60min ride away and go there quite often and I've always noticed that there is an abundance of gorgeous men and women there!! They said every reason I was going to about why it should be the number 1 Best Looking City (all the fashion and beauty places, agencies, natives..etc). People that live in LA or Miami are "surgically enhanced" whereas, in my opinion, NYC is filled with NATURAL beauties (and hottie men!) C'mon now, NYC alllll the way!!!!

Sweetp2828 - the downer attitude won't allow you to see the beauty that is there. Beauty is EVERYWHERE!

by robert_l_dolan Monday, December 20, 2010 at 10:21PM Report as inappropriate

I've spent time in Knoxville, TN, my parents live there now...there may have been some good looking celebs to come out of there, but trust me, there aren't any good looking people remaining there!

by sweetp2828 Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 01:44PM Report as inappropriate

of course bostons there!:)

Doesn't docess speak English?How can Miami be #1? It only has retirees and Spanish people.

by briculla Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 01:57PM Report as inappropriate

It does not surprise me......Miami has a of everything the other cities have....and more!!!!Go Miami!

by mercy48 Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 05:24AM Report as inappropriate

hmmm JLo and Beyonce are not from Miami!

by RP1984 Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 04:17PM Report as inappropriate

Yes, I agree Miami is number one and not just because I live here. I look amazing when I travel to other places but here I'm just normal. So many cultures and a lot of Latin influences from South America and the Caribbean as well as the rich and well traveled. Something to say for a good blend of mixed cultures and races makes a pretty people.

its kind of interesting to see miami on the top of the list. on another story, miami is one of the cities with the ugliest men.
