My city, Philadelphia, has been voted to be the home of the least attractive people in the US. I know many of my fellow Philadelphians look like trolls... but least attractive in the whole country!? Say it isn't so! Discuss.

PHILADELPHIA
Philadelphia is home to the least attractive people in the United States, a survey of visitors and residents showed on Friday.
The city of more than 1.5 million people was also found to be among the least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldly, according to the "America's Favorite Cities" survey by Travel & Leisure magazine and CNN Headline News.
About 60,000 people responded to the online survey -- at www.travelandleisure.com -- which ranked 25 cities in categories including shopping, food, culture, and cityscape, said Amy Farley, senior editor at the magazine.
For unattractiveness, Philadelphia just beat out Washington DC and Dallas/Fort Worth for the bottom spot. Miami and San Diego are home to the most attractive people, the poll found.
But Farley pointed out the results don't mean people in Philadelphia are ugly or the city is a bad place to visit.
"We were asking people to vote on attractiveness, not unattractiveness. Travel & Leisure editors believe there are a lot of attractive people in Philadelphia," she said.
"The relative attractiveness of its residents is only a minuscule factor in evaluating a city's merit."
Philadelphians' self-esteem has been undermined by national surveys showing they are among the fattest people in the United States. The American Obesity Association ranked the city in the top 10 for overweight people every year between 2000 and 2005.
And sporting pride in a city known for the fierce loyalty of its fans has been hurt by not having had a national champion in any of its four main sports since the 76ers won the National Basketball Association title in 1983.

No way, I was born and raised in Philadelphia. It had a different look to it, with the ghettos and all (West Philly), but I'd still say it's fairly attractive. It's not like Bel Air, where the sidewalks are covered in litter etc.
I guess I spent most of my days on the playground though, shooting hoops and just chillin. From where I stood the place looked pretty great! The graffitti was at least artistic and mostly non-gang related.
I don't see how it could be rated least attractive, there's tonnes of less attractive places.
EDIT: just saw it said 'people.' I think this has racial undertones.

To think that the Fresh Prince would lie. The only good thing I remember from Philly were the cheesesteaks, and by remember I mean saw on Tv.
Edit:
trolls...
trolling
Conspiracy!

Wow, I see what you did there. :fogetnah:
Anyhow, I haven't been around Philly enough to confirm this--but I can't say it's wrong either. I only go to Philly to hit up a few shows or events.

I found a news article. Discuss. DISCUSS, DAMMIT.

Definitely not going to Philly any time soon. Nope. Most definitely not.

There are some good looking people there, but over all they're rude and heartless, especially too outsiders. I read a comment on the original article saying something along the lines of "the ugly people the tourists see are other tourists" which I got a giggle of, because it isn't hard to see oafs waddling around the historical sites with their orcish looking children not far behind them. However, in some places of the city people are friggin' ugly, especially the women. I blame it on a shallow gene pool and something in the water. Luckily for myself my gene pool is extremely diverse and I am devilishly handsome.

I live in the suburbs of Philly and I will have you know I am one of the best looking people you could ever meet.
-
...now Delaware on the other hand...
Everywhere I have gone has better looking people than here, particularly Massachusetts and Connecticut. (Surprisingly)

So I'm guessing its easier to get a prostitute in Philadelphia?

you can get a prostitute anywhere, and just like everywhere else they cost more as the looks and cleanliness increases. You can find'em in personal ads, through "agencies" at certain places of business and corner crack whores in some of the more... "exotic" neighborhoods (the ghetto). But you don't need to buy a whore, you can find'em in any bar in south philly. Their legs fly open at the sound of a bottle opening. If you want to get laid and don't mind fucking a pig then go bar hopping down second street and buy a few drinks. I don't recommend either though.

you're a real charmer

classy

It's all the fucking amish with their provincial ways and dark age thinking.
But I'm surprised Washington D.C. was so high on the list. It's got several notable universities including the mostly black (ghetto bootay) University of D.C. and George Washington University which has one of the highest girls over men ratios in the country. It's also a pretty city. Granted the roadsigns are tiny as fuck, the streets look like they were designed by an autistic 12 year old, and it happens to be the base of operations for an autistic 12 year old...
Yeah, it's not a bad city. Natives of the city can't vote but it's still a cool place to be.

now lets discuss his relevant article about a newspaper discovering that a city is full of ugly people.

We don't really need this topic, do we? Unless someone finds that there is a meaning in discussing a random newspaper article in the "offbeat news" section.
