I thought that since the other thread about women exists, it would be fun to do this thread. Though I do suspect that those who are attracted to men are in the minority out of all the posters on here.
Where do you think this place is? Men who act like gentlemen, not tools, and are good-looking? That's a tough spot to fill. I don't think it's Arizona because while a lot of the Arizonan men are attractive, a lot of them are tools.
Hmmmm. For me it would be men who are intelligent (and not in a nerdy, mathematical way- I mean can talk about philosophy, books, etc) and also physically attractive. Also they should be feminist and view women as equals- no mansplaining for me, TYVM.
So... perhaps the pacific northwest? I found the men in Dallas to be attractive but boneheaded, the men in DC to be intelligent in a very STEM kind of way (which I find personally boring) but not in a creative sense, and the men in LA to be attractive but not very intelligent or feminist.
So my vote would be for the pacific northwest, based on all those factors.

Interesting. My college friends have told me a lot of attractive men are in the Seattle metro. I've never been though. I can agree that there should be no mansplaining and stuff like that, almost all the men out here are #Meninists.
As far as attractiveness goes, it's fair enough to say we have types. For an example I like blonde guys, that are tall (last two boyfriends were both 6'8", though I have dated guys my height and didn't care about it, but he did which is why I try not to go that route anymore) and I like guys that have more of a big build than a skinny one. That's my go-to but I have and would date outside of that. If I had to take a guess on where my "go-to" type is in highest concentration, it would be Minnesota. I guess it matters more where guys are actually gentlemen, would like to do trivia with me, and are pasta enthusiasts. Being a young, single Millennial woman this is extra hard for me. So I will take a guess at Minnesota and the Upper Midwest but I don't know. A lot of blonde haired blue eyed men are also in Utah, but they are usually Mormons, and being an atheist that will never work. I have never met a rude Mormon though, so I will give them that.

I bet it would be Minnesota. I have heard a lot about the tall Scandinavian men in Minnesota and that section of the midwest- and who wouldn't like that?! Though it sounds like an especially good fit for your type.
It's funny, I have a friend who was Mormon, and she was trying to bring me to church- basically trying to convince me to join- and I have to say I considered it! The guys are just all so good looking, it's absolutely crazy! Though the no coffee, no alcohol, and no exposed arms thing was just too much for me in the end.
As for gentlemen, I do think the south does that better. In Dallas, I could not struggle with a suitcase or something heavy without having (at least one, often more) guy come up to me, asking if I needed help. It was really lovely. I would say that that kind of chivalry is probably even more pronounced outside of Texas in the real deep south, though I haven't lived there enough to speak with authority. But all my girlfriend who want gentleman- I tell them head south. Chivalry is indeed not dead in that part of the country.
Most humble men without flaring egos: small, southeastern towns and smaller towns in the Midwest
Tallest and most physically attractive: Utah and Colorado (but I wouldn't call them all friendly - lots of ego there)
Most outdoorsy and adventurous: Pacific NW
Smartest and most successful career-wise: DC, NYC, SF
Most dynamic, wittiest, funniest, and entertaining personalities: NYC, Boston
Most monogamous and family-oriented: Smaller towns of the Midwest
Realest and toughest (mentally and physically): Rust Belt cities
As for the combo of attractive + desirable personality, I'll say NYC even though they tend to be short. There are a lot of hot, short guys out there. But they don't have the best morals.

Here in Arizona a lot of men are tan, dark-haired, and skew more towards the average (5'10 and a shorter, with a few being taller) and dress like bros (tatted arms, I was never really into tattoos but I don't care about it, monster energy hats, dickie's cargo shorts, etc.). There's also a lot of young men here with the preppy frat look, Vineyard Vines clothing, and chubbies. Arizona has ranked highly on attractive men in surveys so I guess I'm alone on this one.
In that source, the least attractive men skew towards California and the East Coast while the most attractive men skew towards the Midwest/Great Plains/Mountain West area. Scottsdale ranks #2 for attractive men, which like I said I disagree with. What I find funny, is that women are the reverse, more attractive women on the coasts while the least attractive are in the flyover states.
Yeah Southern manners aren't out here, despite a lot of Texans driving through (seriously, Texas license plates are everywhere) which is kind of sad. I always loved how open, warm, and friendly the South felt. I've been to a variety of places in Florida (north of Miami mind you, haha) and Louisiana which I am basing that off of. Never been to the other Southern states.

Interesting information! I suspect that Colorado did well, especially Denver being... "Menver".

Don't believe those lists such as the Clover app one. Those pull data only from users of the app - how many people do you know who use the app Clover? Men in the Midwest and Mountain West are more likely to use dating websites, which helps their numbers for such "studies." I lived in Nebraska for years, and I can tell you the men are NOT physically attractive although they do have good moral character.
That's hilarious what you mention about Arizona men's dress code. I always suspected the preppy frat look was a southeastern thing. Although if you head up north to Seattle, you'll be surrounded by hipsters in thrift store clothing and lots of guys in skinny jeans with undercut hairdos (Macklemore lookalikes) and facial piercings. Not my cup of tea either. I prefer the plain jeans and t-shirts of the Midwest.

That's true I thought of that as well. I never even heard of that app. Now if this study was based off Tinder then I could definitely get behind it. Tinder is very widespread. I'd love if Tinder released the most right swipes on men based on what cities. A lot of men on Tinder do is right swipe for every woman and then see what woman right swipes on them and then decides, which skews the data for attractive women. But women don't quite operate that way on the app, haha.
