Well if they want to counter your claim they better submit something better looking than the woman looking for free tickets? Oh Mama!

How did Boston fare? I always thought that Bostonians looked bedraggled and unhappy.

No arguement from me but they gotta helluva baseball team!

A lot of muzzies there now too. I will never go back. I can make my own cheese steaks.

Philly has least attractive people

Anyone visiting Wildwood, NJ in the summer has always known this to be true. Taking a large number of people from Philly, and then stuffing them into bathing suits at the beach, is truly something to behold. You won't want lunch.

As a Joisey Boy I learned early on that the Philly Fillies were

You Glee!

The people that took this survey have never been to Fryeburg Maine. I had the pleasure once of attending the Fryberg Fair. After noticing that the people I encountered weren't exactly beautiful, I decided to get scientific about it, have a seat and judge my fellow humans based solely on their looks as they strolled by. Conclusion: people in that area have very poor, pasty white, pock marked complexions to an astonishing degree. I determined that I'm better looking than almost all of them. And that's saying something.

True story:

I was with a group of friends walking down the street in Philly. As we were walking I started noticing the sound of walking on fall leaves. I looked down and we were walking over a swarm of cock roaches coming up out of the sewer.

The same night I had a guy try to pick my pocket and when I stopped him, he started doing fake kung fu moves screaming “I have AIDS, I have AIDS.” Before we got home, we had to circle around a psych swinging a baseball bat and talking to himself.

That was my first night in Philly.

Ouch! I've been in the Philadelphia area for nearly 30 years, and I've always liked it. Its charms are sometimes subtle, however, and it can be a bit provincial. It's the only place I've lived where people have been genuinely puzzled at why I live here when I grew up somewhere else. The concept of travel, let alone moving to a new locale, is novel to a surprising number of local residents. That said, the historical roots are fascinating, and it has some very livable suburbs.

One of the things we really enjoy is that it's located within easy distance of the beach, mountains, forests, farmland and city, and is generally out of the path of catastrophic events. Tornadoes are infrequent and small, hurricanes are generally very downgraded (though still somewhat damaging), and earthquakes so small as to be overlooked. Ice storms are perhaps the worst of our natural hazards. For those advantages, I can put up with some provincial attitude and lack of fashion consciousness.

I used to live in Old City and really enjoyed it. I wouldn't choose to raise kids in the city, and the high taxes and insurance costs would probably discourage me from living there now in any case. However,the suburbs are very nice. (Now if we could just do something about the guilt-ridden liberal voters . . . )

#4 Los Angeles Angelenos came in at #4 for attractiveness, but second from the last in friendliness.

Those in LA don't give a s**t what the survey says.
