For the third year in a row, residents and visitors have voted Philadelphia the city with the least attractive people, according to a survey by Travel + Leisure.
But that's not all; the City of Brotherly Love also ranked as the least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldy by 60,000 respondents who ranked 30 cities in several categories ranging from food to nightlife to culture. On the bright side, the beauty of the museums and art galleries was enough to boost Philly to the third spot in the Historical Sites/Monuments category.

Whomever wrote that line clearly has not been to Old Town Alexandria on a Friday night.
You should see their faces when the Cowboys come to town.
Way to go Filthadelphia! You’re #1!
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because these rankings of attractiveness are all screwed up in my opinion.
San Antonio near the bottom??? Texas women are among the most beautiful in the country and San Antonio’s are no exception.
Yeh, even that big old bell they have is cracked....
Never cared for women on the west coast. From northern California to the BC border, they tend to look like tattooed lesbos. Lots of fatties in much of the South(east), unfortunately.
Made a promise never to diss ugly people in the U.S. after liberty call in Istanbul Turkey.
Just look at an Iggles football game. Everyone there looks morbidly obese and look like they will die of a coronary any minute. Does anyone in Philly excercise?
Only because none of the pollers ever made it out of Detroit alive.
I guess W.C. Fields was right.
Well if they want to counter your claim they better submit something better looking than the woman looking for free tickets? Oh Mama!
Thou speaks the truth. On my last trip into the S/E USA, I didn't see more than a few attractive women from the time I left Virginia, till I got to Oklahoma.
I was first in the south in 1970, and it was totally different. But they still have a certain charm - maybe it's just the accent?
One can only blame Wal-Mart (for their incredibly cheap Moon Pies)
“Even the women had beards and looked like loggers.”
You get that anywhere liberal women gather, LOL! We have lots of bearded ladies in ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’
How did Boston fare? I always thought that Bostonians looked bedraggled and unhappy.
No arguement from me but they gotta helluva baseball team!
In ‘80 my company sent me to Philly to do some contract programming work. I was to stay in a downtown hotel/inn/motel (whatever) near the place where I was to work. It was in January and colder that a (fill in the blank). I enjoyed the work and the people I worked with there were the best. I even got out to take in the sights, but the hotel,...
The first room they gave had a window that would not shut. I asked and was moved to a second room. This one had windows that shut, but one had a bullet hole in it. I kept this room, and stuffed a washcloth in the hole.
When I got back to Denver, my boss asked me how was Philly. I told him the only thing Philly had was a bell and that had a crack in it. We all had a laugh over that comment. I really did like it there, although I’m still puzzled why I had to go over into New Jersey to get a case of Rolling Rock to take back to Denver (another good story).
They beat the best team money can buy last night.
A lot of muzzies there now too. I will never go back. I can make my own cheese steaks.
Lee was unhittable. Hats off to a great hurler.
At least the mohamadans have the decency to cover their women!
