Don't get me wrong I've seen some gorgeous women in Columbus too. But Atlanta is ridiculous.

but once again, living in columbus you would have been lucky to know 2 percent of the population (and that would be extremeley generous). its really who you just happened to meet up with. really it just doesnt work like that. the vast majority of atlanta's black women are NOT models, despite the fact that the city has more of that than columbus. good looks is pretty much random, especially when you are specifically talking about people of sub-saharan african descent. ugly people can have pretty babies, and vice versa. when we start talking about millions, it really all just starts to average out. that being said, there are patterns of average weight and how well people can afford to take care of themselves that can affect how attractive they are, but ive yet to hear that listed as a reason.

but this whole theory about certain cities just having better looking women doesnt make sense, when you think logically, as theres no real reason how that could be possible. personal experience is useless, because youve barely met 1/100th of the population. and of course the women are going to be good looking at an allen iverson birthday party, he wouldnt let them in if they were ugly.

It works like this; which city are you most likely to see the most attractive women on average. Not who has the most beautiful women.

Just for you, JimmyJohnWilson, I will petition President Obama to commission a panel whose sole and exclusive purpose is to gauge the aggregate beauty of women in cities across the nation. I'm not sure what the likelihood of success of such an endeavor will be, so until then, I'll have to rely solely on casual observation to buttress my point. Nonetheless, I feel completely confident in saying that Miami has more hotties than Buffalo. It certainly has more than Philadelphia.

Where in this statement do I even come remotely close to saying that ALL women of certain attractiveness work a certain job? Do you want to rescind your statement, or alternatively, enroll in a GED course? You could do both. By no means are these courses of action mutually exclusive.

My statement was based off what you typed, which was that all men have a different definition of "good looks." Do I need to quote you again? This obviously is not true since, as you astutely observed, men generally do not like "obese, crooked tooth, big nosed women." There's more variation among men, however, when it comes to the top slither of female beauty. In other words, men will spend more time arguing whether Paula Patton is finer than Halle Berry than they will arguing whether Paula Patton is finer than Taraji Henson. For the most part, men will consistently agree on who the "hotter" chick is.

Miami has some nice black women, but they have some really rough ones, too. Miami's a mixed bag, I think. You'll come across some attractive Caribbean women, but for every one of her, you'll meet three Trinas. Eh, hair weave's just not my thing. The best thing about DC, imho, is that weave is really frowned upon. I can't stand it.
I think this one is sadly true. I can't disagree here. Alot of rough looking, ghetto, black chicks in Miami.

Yes and no. You are more likely to run into a 7 or 8 in Atlanta because the city has an abundance of them. But some cities clearly have more dime pieces than others. If you took the best looking women in DC and placed them in Karu and Y in Miami circa 2008, they would not even stand out. And let's not even talk about Port-au-Spain, Trinidad or Salvador, Brazil (chills run up spine).

That's implicit in all of the comments, Sherlock. Part of being attractive is not looking like a beluga whale.

Whether we're talking the TOTAL number of bad chicks you see or the AVERAGE hotness of all chicks in the city (meaning we literally add up the rankings and divide by N), we can say with a fair degree of confidence, and accuracy, that DC comes out ahead of Mobile, Alabama. This is due in large part to DC girls' greater commitment to exercise as well as their ability to push away from the table, but it's also due to the fact that hotter chicks tend to gravitate towards the cities where the high-status men are.

bajanyankee, so pretty mcuh your argument is that youve met a lot of beautiful women in miami, moreso than you did in philadelphi. therefore, despite the fact that you have met less than 1/100th of the female population of miami or any other city, you can conclude that women are better looking in miami than in buffalo and philadelphia.

what i'm telling you is that when you have that many people IT WILL ALL AVERAGE OUT. if you want to claim that you know way more attractive women in atlanta than in philly, go ahead. im sure thats true. but dont think that there is something about miami that just makes black women who live there more beautiful. once you get out of the high roller club scene (which is a huge minority of the population) and just get into the regular folks (those HR anbd professionals) its really just random, and the looks shouldnt be any different anywhere. there is no logical reasoning that would lead you to believe otherwise

as far as the whole beauty is relative thing. im not just talking about the celebrities like halle berry. im talking about everyday women (after all im an everyday man, not a celebrity). to use your number scale, a "5" to you could very easily be an "8" to me. thats just how it is. if you really think all men are on the exact same page then you havent talked to enough other men.

^^^ What he said. I think that's what this thread really boils down to. Which city are you more easily able to find black women of a certain level of beauty. That's what's really relevant. Not total numbers or percentages necessarily. Something else wrong with your assertions is you kind of assume an even spread or distribution of certain physical features among populations. That i don't think is a correct assumption. For instance I observed that white women in Ohio definitely have a different look than white women in general in Georgia. This I'm sure has to do with Georgia women mostly being of Scottish-Irish and English Stock where as women from Ohio are more Germanic in origin with more being Eastern European or Italian also.

I've also noticed a difference in the skin qualities of black women raised in the South as opposed to say the MidWest. (This is in general)

I will concede one point: I may suffer a bit from sample bias. It is very well possible that Miami has rolls of dime pieces, but has rolls of pennies as well, bringing the average chick hotness rating ("ACH") down. For all intents and purposes, though, most men focus only on the top 30% or so of female beauty. Of that top 30% of nationwide beauty, more of it is concentrated in NYC, LA, and Miami than Cleveland, Ohio and Kansas City, Missouri. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters to the gentleman with a prurient interest.

I will agree with this...to an extent. My friends and I had this disucssion a couple of months ago. One of my friends, for example, would see a girl and give her a "9.5." Then another girl would walk by and he would say that she was better than the 9.5. Shortly thereafter, another girl would walk by and she would be better than the girl who was better than the 9.5. Clearly, his rating system needed to be adjusted, or there was just that much of a gradient between a 9.5 and a perfect 10 for him to be able to rank all of his eye candy.

We all settled on a scale. A "7" is a pretty girl; definitely wifey material (looks wise). You know a 7 has entered the room when your boy points her out to you. An "8" is a girl who puts above average chicks in their place. When she enters the room, your boy grabs your arm and drags you across the room to look at her. A "9" is a girl whose name rings out in the streets like Nicky Barnes. You don't even have to know her to know about her. Finally, a "10" is a girl who is so bad that you she takes half of your money in a divorce settlement and you ain't even mad about it.

its not just the black women in miami, its the culture/attitude of everyone sadly, all the chicas black women white women they all have this im better than you attitude and self centered, really hard to find a nice girl here

I'll go out on a limb and predict that someone who's been to both will attest that the women in Miami, in the aggregate, ARE FAR BETTER LOOKING than the women in Buffalo.

I never said that all of the "6s" work one job and all of the "8s" work another. I said that DC has a lot of well rounded "6s" with professional degrees. Naturally, you will have many "6s" that will work in HR and some "8s" that will work as Congressional Chiefs of Staff. But overall, you're not going to see heart-busting hotties in DC the way you will in Atlanta, Miami, or LA. They are rare. But you will come across more women who have the "total package," if that's what you're into.

Why don't you see as many heart-busting hotties in DC, you might ask? Well, Miami and LA have industries that suck in attractive women: modeling, acting, etc. DC has law firms, non profits, and government agencies. The fact that you need a certain level of education to work at most of these places already reduces the hottie quotient by at least 85 percent. Thus, you don't see as many hotties in the DC area as you do in a place like Atlanta.
Thats one of the dumbest quotes i've ever heard on this forum, DC has ALWAYS been proven to be known as a prime hot bed for black women, Miami and LA have 1 or two little glamour spots the rest of their black women can't hold a candle to the ones in the DC area, face, body, intellect, and career wise. I just went to the Trey Songz and Monica concert two weeks ago at Constitution Hall and let me tell you, it was 100 to 1 Bad Chicks to Males ratio in there. Miami and LA are not messing with DC's black women overall on any scale. Do you know how many times i've been in both cities and met something i though was the baddest thing walking, then come to find out she's from back home in DC! I lived in FL and visit there at least twice a year, no city in that state has more or better "black women" than the DMV area. I'll have my good friend from Miami tell it he just left here. DC women are some of the most prized women in the world, might wanna get your facts straight.

As for ATL its like a 2nd or 3rd home to me i'll always side with DC since i grew up in the area and know how many we have to offer. But ATL is something serious to be reckon with so i'll never be mad at anyone who gives it to them. Although half of their best ones down there are originally from DC
