makes herself look good (Miami is first), and Coz look bad (Philly is last, second year in a row)

Funny, when I would come back from Puerto Rico, I would think, "We're so ugly here" for the first few days.
But, when I go anywhere north, I realize how not-ugly the people from Miami are.

ANYwhere north? Go far enough and that changes a bit.

[wendyful04]

I guess. NYC had some serious variety. Chicago was ok, aesthetically. Wisconsin, hmmm. Indiana, I don't even remember. Tennessee, um no. North Carolina, um no. Georgia, some places. South Carolina, hmmm. Alabama, hmmm. Central and North Florida, hit or miss.

Oh this is horrible.
I'm dead wrong.
Shit, I aint exactly getting more beautiful with age anyhow.

I don't live in Philly. :idunno:

[Harmeister]

I know (I looked up the city at least where you live). But Philly is closer to you than Brooklyn is (admittedly only by 6 minutes according to yahoo maps). and you forsook the big apple when you left the state.....

Nah, I mean... I think you're being honest. It may sound shallow, but you know... in areas with the most diversity where the gene pool has a chance to get mixed a bit, you tend to find more *beautiful* people-- IMHO. I would tend to agree with some of your assessments there. I've been to most of those places, and met/seen people from all those places... :think:

[ElizabethX]

And you know you're beautiful.

Also, I'd like to add that richer cities have advantages at being more "beautiful" because their residents have more time and money to devote to their appearances.

Miami is an example of a city with lots of diversity AND money (even if not everyone there has it). Maybe that's why it snagged number one?

And beaches...people tend to exercise more in areas with less winter more sunlight/warm weather, and unlike areas like NY where you have to rush to get "beach ready" in the spring becuase you had to add some extra padding to amke it throught he winter, places like that people are more likely to be "beach-ready" all the time, maybe?

[ElizabethX]

Yeah, but I'd still consider NY a very high maintenance city. A lot of competition to look good, diverse people, and a bit of money to throw around.
