Philadelphia is home to the least attractive people in the United States, a survey of visitors and residents showed on Friday.
The city of more than 1.5 million people was also found to be among the least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldly, according to the “America’s Favorite Cities” survey.
For unattractiveness, Philadelphia just beat out Washington DC and Dallas/Fort Worth for the bottom spot. Miami and San Diego are home to the most attractive people.
And sporting pride in a city known for the fierce loyalty of its fans has been hurt by not having had a national champion in any of its four main sports since the 76ers won the National Basketball Association title in 1983.
I wonder where these guys live, nowadays?
Yup, different places have different looking people. One of my buddies tells me that, no, my city does not have the prettiest girls, it is Heidelburg, Germany that does.
And all this time I thought it was my home town that had the ugliest people.
Just because Philidelphians are fat, doesn’t mean they’re unattractive.
Thanks for reporting on another scientific, peer-reviewed study.
I’m from Philly and I’m VERY good looking…my mommy told me so…
We lost to LA and they have Paris Hilton?!?!?! WTF
#1: oh so _THAT_ is the Reason Heidelberg is full of US citizens?
What Heidelberg has is one of the oldest and largest universities in Germany, hence the abundance of young people and, necessarily, pretty girls. Plus it’s got such a romantic palace ;D
pj
#3. The fats are in the South. Phillies are next in line.
It’s true. I’m from Philly. Lot’s of ugly people here. I’m a single guy, I notice these things. Of course, I’m probably ugly too…
Crap. Does this mean I gotta move to Philly?

Don’t go to an Eagles game in Philly wearing the other teams colors unless you want to be harassed and smacked with ice and batteries.
Have you been to Philly? Most of it’s a hell hole and this is coming from someone who grew up in Jersey.
I think those who’ve had rougher lives tend to look worse. If you grew up in the Philly / Camden area than you’ve probably had it rough.
I live in Austin, Texas now which is a mixed bag but much better than the East Coast.
#11. Good info!
#13:
hhopper- ever been to a home raiders game? how about a giants game at the meadowlands? don’t forget denver (especially if you are a raider fan) there are a half dozen cities in the US that fit your criteria.
i have had iggles season tickets for 6 years and have never seen anyone physically abused (or even touched) while wearing the other team’s colors. however, when i went to a giants/ eagles game at the meadowlands two years ago, i truly feared for my life- and i wasnt even wearing team colors! i made the mistake of clapping after an iggle interception and that was it. i’m a big guy, too, and was still certain i was gonna catch a beating up there.
so stop regurgitating smarkmy remarks from espn about philly fans because it advertises your ignorance.
I’ve never been to an “Iggles” game so I’ll take your word for it.
You should walk through a mall in New Jersey. Those girls have noses so big they can lie on the bottom of a swimming pool and still breathe. Well, I think they are girls…
Such crapola. In every city, S, M, L, XL – there’s the full range of human attractiveness (whatever that happens to be at the time). There’s gorgeousness and Gorgons everyplace, just in differing percentages…
