Florida has been named fifth, nationwide, in terms of best looking states, The Daily Beast said. Specifically, the website examined which states have the highest percentage of extremely attractive people, as well as run-of-the mill hunks and beauties. The top spot was taken by Washington, D.C., followed by Hawaii, California and Connecticut– in that order.
Here is how The Daily Beast said it came up with other attractive and not so attractive states:
“First, we determined who had the most stunners-per-capita (allowing Connecticut and California an equal playing field), tallying the hometowns of more than 300 male and female fashion models, plus 125 men mentioned in 10 years’ worth of People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issues. Then, we accounted for the results of the Miss America and Miss USA pageants for the past decade. Finally, in order to measure general attractiveness, we factored in health and fitness data for each state from 2006-2008, ranked by the Trust for America’s Health. Each of those three criteria—models, pageant winners, fitness—was weighed equally, with any ties broken by which state performed best in the latter category.”
