Let's pick the city with the ugliest people!

I feel like being an ass, so let's get to it; what city have you been to that overall had the ugliest people you've seen?

Right now I think my pick is Philadelphia, but Boston is a very close second. New York might have to be disqualified because it's so large that it's got hordes and hordes of ugly AND attractive people.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 8 December 2003 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know if I really believe in cities' populations being uglier than one another, except that I am sad that when I travel from poor area to rich/trendy area on a bus or something, I suddenly find lots of good looking women to ogle. Obviously this is partly hair, skincare and clothing (and of course there are uncool rich areas where the women just look gaudy) but probably it's not all that.

Having said all that, I usually find Icelandic women very attractive, though I've never actually been there.

"I may here speak of some attempts by myself, made hitherto in too desultory a way, to obtain materials for a "Beauty-Map" of the British Isles. Whenever I have occasion to classify the persons I meet into three classes, "good, medium, bad," I use a needle mounted as a pricker, wherewith to prick holes, unseen, in a piece of paper, torn rudely into a cross With a long leg. I use its upper end for "good," the cross-arm for "medium," the lower end for "bad." The prick-holes keep distinct, and are easily read off at leisure. The object, place, and date are written On the paper. I used this plan for my beauty data, classifying the girls I passed in streets or elsewhere as attractive, indifferent, or repellent. Of course this was a purely individual estimate, bat it was consistent, judging from the conformity of different attempts in the same population. I found London to rank highest for beauty; Aberdeen lowest."

If Americans are particularly uggle, why is this? You'd think that with all the waves of immigration we'd have the ideal genetic database for all kinds of mindblowing hybrids.
