Handsome Men Cities
-
10. Colorado Springs, Colorado
If you were an elite athlete you'd probably have a chance to be on this list, too. Colorado Springs has a high concentration of handsome men thanks to the Olympic Training Center, which is basically a concentrated collection of the best abs money can buy.
-
9. St. Petersburg, Florida
Regardless about your feelings on Florida (yikes), there's something to be said about living on the coast. The sand and surf seems to chisel perfectly defined jawlines and abs in a way dirt for miles never does.
-
8. Scottsdale, Arizona
Scottsdale studs stand out thanks to their shopping addiction. No, seriously. When it comes to personal care and apparel, these guys outspend everyone else. And honestly, everyone knows being attractive comes down to how much money you can waste on looking good.
-
7. Denver, Colorado
Watch out for the boys of Denver. It's a playground for some of the best-looking men in America and that's because living at higher altitudes makes men more handsome.
-
6. Lincoln, Nebraska
Corn is the milk of the starch world. It does a body good.
-
5. Portland, Oregon
You'd be handsome, too, if you could just find the right grooming balm for your mustache. It's all about the balm. Everything else is just knowing the best method for pour-over coffee and pretending to collect books.
-
4. Seattle, Washington
When it comes to the sexy studs of Seattle, blame it on the rain. These dudes come in ahead because they spend their downtime getting ready for the region's tiny window of good weather.
-
3. Madison, Wisconsin
Step your game up like the handsome men of Madison by perfecting the art of the boyish grin. If that will never work for you, they also recommend a calculated combination of cheese and cold weather to keep them hot as hell.
-
2. Boisie, Idaho
You might scoff at the idea that men living in Boise are so irresistible. However, the city ranks as one of the most sexually active and everyone knows ugly people don't fuck.
-
1. Arlington, Virginia
When it comes to classing things up with a perfect mix of personal style and self-care, men from Arlington can't be beat. Plus, if you're looking to be the most handsome man, Southern charm goes a long way.
