I feel like being an ass, so let's get to it; what city have you been to that overall had the ugliest people you've seen?

Right now I think my pick is Philadelphia, but Boston is a very close second. New York might have to be disqualified because it's so large that it's got hordes and hordes of ugly AND attractive people.

do you include the Main Line, or just the shit towns like Chester and Levittown?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 8 December 2003 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

HAHA ST LOUIS!

I remember encountering some shockingly unattractive people in Tokyo, too. It was actually really striking; when we left Japan and went to Korea it felt like we left Fuglyville for Supermodelland.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 December 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i have seen people on the main line easily as ugly as anyone in chester.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 December 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

edison = land of the lost 80s style. not good, british-black-overcoat-band style 80s -- it's bad mullet-and-cavariccis, bonjovi, toner-colored camaros style 80s.

oh yeah, zurich had a lot of ugly mothers too. but that might be because i hated switzerland in general.

I suppose the fact that the entirety of the time I've spent in St. Louis has been in the company of goths, worn-out old hair-metallers, and music industry middle-management types might have swayed my judgement in a direction for the unfair. Sorry B.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 8 December 2003 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know if I really believe in cities' populations being uglier than one another, except that I am sad that when I travel from poor area to rich/trendy area on a bus or something, I suddenly find lots of good looking women to ogle. Obviously this is partly hair, skincare and clothing (and of course there are uncool rich areas where the women just look gaudy) but probably it's not all that.

Having said all that, I usually find Icelandic women very attractive, though I've never actually been there.

Eisbär, what the heck do you have against Schenectady? That's the third time you've mentioned it today!

The place with the ugliest people has got to be the creepy inbred Afrikaans areas of South Africa. They're so scared of having sex with black people that they've been marrying their cousins for 400 years.

― THAT Kate (kate), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 09:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Baltimore has extremely ugly people, but the good looking people there are better-looking and more plentiful than the ones in Manhattan, so it's out. Cambridge, Maryland has all of the ugly and none of the beauty.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 10:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember when I was in Toledo, Ohio, there seemed to be an abundance of uglies. Also, when I used to visit my sister in Omaha and we'd go to the Omaha mall it seemed like the place was swarming with major hoagness.

But the ugliest people are usually in the rural areas.

However, some of the hottest models/actors/celebrities come from the Midwest.

Whoever said Minnesota pick a city was crazy, at least if they were referring to Minneapolis where the percentage of good looking people to ugly people was ridiculously high. Even the beggars downtown were decent looking. I guess the people in St Cloud were a little weird looking but then my buddies and I did eat at Bonanza (after going to places like the CC Club and The Sunny Side-Up Café we just wanted to be around homely people for a bit!).

If Americans are particularly uggle, why is this? You'd think that with all the waves of immigration we'd have the ideal genetic database for all kinds of mindblowing hybrids.

Because these various waves of immigrants tended to settle into discrete areas and live/socialize/breed among themselves, concentrating their gene pools.

I think Minnesota comes up on this thread so often only because ILX has a really incredibly disproportionate number of Minnesotans/former Minnesotans on it. I could name at least like 30 states with uglier people. Don't challenge me, I'll really do it.
