    Offensively subjective!

    Maine’s coast has a surly beauty that California’s can’t match.

    Edit: Or do they mean the shape of the state? Because a perfect rectangle is kinda nice, I guess…

    Edit 2, the squeaquel: Or do they mean the attractiveness of the average individual in the state? Because I cannot make heads or tails of those metrics.

        …I live in NJ and I find this extremely unbelievable! I found it more believable when I thought this was about natural beauty for like parks and stuff!

          Now if that were true Arkansas would be much more attractive it’s got some amazing state parks. Like the one redeeming feature of the entire state.

            A lot of states have some amazing parks, its something the usa does pretty well is the parks! I’d love to visit more of them, and I visited a lot as a kid!

          I was surprised too, as was every article I found about the data while looking for the source.

          Some local NJ news/radio site was loving it.

        I guess it’s somewhat telling that that falls to my third guess of which beauty is considered noteworthy.

      Exactly, personally those perfectly chiseled corners of Colorado get me all hot and bothered.

    As someone from Alaska, I can say with absolute certainty that this is bullshit if we’re talking about the physical attractiveness of the residents. No way we should be this close to the top.

    Jfc. I’d never move to NJ because the Turnpike, Garden State Pkwy, and the GWB are all fucking torture.
