Ever wonder where the most attractive men and women live in the United States?
Maybe you think Southern charm is super sexy, or that tanned bods on the west coast are sizzling.
As it turns out, there are actual statistics documenting the cities with the most attractive people.

Clover, a streamlined dating service that matches people with other users nearby, analyzed its user data in 2015 to see which cities and states have the most and least attractive people.

Since mutual attraction is at the base of successful relationships, Clover developed a "scoring system" that can accurately figure out a person's level of attractiveness.
So, what did they find?
Cities with the Most Attractive Women
Based on Clover's data, the cities with the most attractive women are:
1. Manhattan, NY
2. Santa Monica, CA
3. Boston, MA
4. Miami, FL
5. Cleveland, OH
6. Queens, NY
7. Tampa, FL
8. Philadelphia, PA
Cities with the Most Attractive Men
If you're looking for gorgeous men, Clover's data suggests heading to these cities:

2. Scottsdale, AZ
3. Virginia Beach, VA
4. Boston, MA
5. Minneapolis, MN

Wow. That's ... not what we were expecting at all.
Even more surprising, women from Manhattan are two times more attractive than the "national average," and men from Jacksonville are 70 percent more attractive than the "national average." (If you aren't convinced yet that you should move to the East Coast...)
