They may not be head turners, says Matisse Rhodes, a New Yorker who lived in the Ohio city from 2010 until 2015, but Clevelanders are among some of the warmest, most genuine people in the country.
Rhodes isnt alone in her assessment. In this years Americas Favorite Places survey, T+L readers scored cities across a wide range of categories, including how attractive locals are: and Clevelanders ranked near the bottom for their looks.

The headline is referring to the residents, not the city itself. As someone who spends the business days in Baltimore, I would have to agree with T & L’s assessment.
I’m the same and agree.
Seattle isn’t on the list.
Makes me wonder what criteria they used.
Seattle without a doubt is full of some of the ugliest women (and men) on the face of the earth. Without the cute Asians skewing the average, it would easily win hands down.
How is Los Angeles not on this list? Half of the city could easily be mistaken for Tijuana. I have lived in the LA area my whole life and the place has always been mostly a toilet. Only a few parts of LA look nice.
Baltimore: Birthplace of Nancy Pelosi. Need we say more?
What exactly are they calling ugly? Is it grooming and obesity? Must be. Practically all of these cities have a mixed populace drawn from all over with the exception of Milwaukee, which is heavily German and Slavic, or at least that’s been my impression on the occasions I’ve had to go there. Nothing particularly ugly about Germans or Slavs unless it’s a propensity to stoutness in later years, but heck the whole country is way fatter now than it was even twenty years ago.
The angry, twisted faces of Progressives pull down the average in every Left Coast city.
I don't know about "ugliest", but St. Louis wins "fattest" hands down. :)
The poorest are now the most likely to be obese. Supposedly the average woman weighs 160lbs, which is what the average man weighed in 1960.
Freegards
Yes but we’re prettier than Arizonans. Even as fat as we are.
I live two counties outside Baltimore City and like many other non-minorities I do not fell safe enough to go to a baseball , football , hockey or soccer game or any other function . There are gangs of dirt bikers running wild in the streets , gangs killing one another and destroying property with little if any resistance from the police . In fact it is anarchy . The mayor and city council’s answer is to get more state and federal money which just seems to end up in dem campaigns .
Srsly?
Seattle should be on the list. I went there for 3 days and did not see one attractive woman. 90% white btw.
But I bet the list is mostly what some would call racist.
The survey is about the residents.
LA had many issues, and I am moving from there soon, but one issue it does not have is a lack of attractive people.
Growing up we used to call Baltimore the armpit of the country.
Memphis was once voted most beautiful, quietest, and cleanest city. That was in the 1950’s. In the 50’s blacks were 30% of the population. Now they are around 61%.
