We always assumed that New York City has the best-looking people in the country (which can be awesome if you're in a people-ogling mood and depressing as hell on those days when you wake up with bad hair or a massive zit on your nose). Then again, maybe that's because we spent four years working in the city's unofficial model district. (We can think of a number of better ways to improve one's self-esteem, not to mention one's appetite during lunch break.)

According to Travel & Leisure magazine's annual Favorite Cities feature, New York barely even rates--it clocks in at a very unimpressive #9 on the list of most attractive residents. We understand being beat out by L.A., Honolulu, and Miami. But even Minneapolis/St. Paul trumped NYC! So if you're finding yourself unimpressed with the talent at your local bar, apparently you should book a booty vacation to Miami (#1 most attractive city) or Austin (#4 most attractive and #1 best singles scene).

Though we suppose it all depends on your definition of attractive. Because we've been to Miami, and while we can confirm that the toned bodies per square mile ratio is sky-high, we've always liked our bods a little less sun-baked and a little more flesh-like. A little less, you know, orange and plastic. But if, on the other hand, you're really into people who have "great personalities"? Then head for the streets of Philadelphia--out of the 25 cities surveyed, it came bottom on the attractive residents list. Apparently "brotherly love" is the only kind worth indulging in there.
