Travel + Leisure readers say Atlantans are not so attractive
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta may be the best city for singles, but those singles apparently aren’t all that good-looking, according to Travel + Leisure Magazine, which released its “America’s favorite cities 2008” reader survey results recently. In the survey, 25 major cities were ranked in 45 categories, and Atlanta came in 23rd out of 25 in the “attractiveness” category.
Well.
From where we sit and ogle, there are lots of beautiful people, men and women, to look at in Atlanta. OK, maybe not as beautiful as Travel + Leisure’s No. 1 city, Miami, but come on — we’re less attractive than Phoenix? Than Nashville? Than Orlando?
Right: Travel + Leisure readers say Miami has the most hotties (pictured: Mango’s Tropical Cafe across from South Beach), but Atlanta has fewer than almost every major U.S. city. Photo: Cheryl Blackerby/Palm Beach Post.
We ranked 3.79 out of a high score of 5, as compared to Miami, which scored a well-deserved 4.45. (See Atlanta’s full survey results here.)
Even so, our best rating was in the affordability category, where we came in 11th. Here’s a thought: Maybe we can take advantage of the affordable goods and services in the city and use them to gussy ourselves up?
Are Atlantans really that unattractive? Or do Travel + Leisure readers need to look again?
