We're Good Looking, But You Knew That Already

Jennifer Aniston

Thanks to celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Americans ranked number one for looks in a recent poll. Photo: Eamonn McCormack, WireImage.com

A recent poll of more than 5,000 Brits gave Americans the top prize for looks, as reported by the Telegraph.

Conducted by OnePoll.com, the study found the boys and girls from Brazil in second place with Spain and Australia coming in third and fourth respectively. A spokesperson for the company had this to say of the results:

''America has got a lot to offer and boasts some of the sexiest people on the planet."

Addding that, "the likes of Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt all help America's image as a hot bed of good looking people."

But as one poll pointed out, did our population of more than 300 million give us the upper hand?

Unfair advantage? We think not.

We pride ourselves on natural (only slightly enhanced by Botox, self-tanner, laser tooth-whitening and an unparalleled selection of skincare and makeup) beauty. But we can't help feeling a bit badly for poor, old England, which landed itself in seventh place. And of course Germany, the country that fell to the bottom of the list of the top 20 'best looking nations.'


To see if your state helped land America in first place, check out which of the 50 has the best looking people.

Jessica Alba is a good looking Mexican, or hispanic of some sort. Jennifer Anuston is not pretty at all. She just got lucky by having her agent hook her up with Brad.

yes she's Greek but she was born in NYC so that would make her American.Tons of other actors/actresses are "from" other countries.

The highest rate of obesity makes Americans the best-looking country?!?

It must be true that history repeats itself- we are in a second Rubenesque period.
Thank you so much television, Walmart, and McDonald's.

Jennifer Aniston pretty?! She looks like a tranny or a man because of her HUGE jaws. Give me a break. And as someone else already said...we are the MOST OBESE country on the planet.

Last I checked the only true american were the Native American Indians ... everyone else comes from some sort of foreign ancestors, wether or not they were born in the U.S.

Oh my! With all the beautiful women in the United States of America "why" Jennifer Aniston. All the plastic surgery is not helping. It is making her worse. She was "cute" but now is getting freaky looking. I agree with Rozz 67 100 %. Plus the fact there has to be some major problems with her if she can NEVER keep a man. The older she gets and yes she is getting older and looks it. Her time is running out at even being pretty.

Americans are NOT sexy. Almost everyone in this country outside of New York or LA is overweight. Contrary to the excruciating feel good platitudes circulating these days, one cannot be beautiful in spite of being overweight. Heaviness automatically negates beauty.

"Jaws" Aniston is not pretty. Raise your hands on this one. Who hasn't been to bed with her? They keep pushing her on us but I can't stand her. Seems like most other guys feel the same way. I personally think Latino women are the best looking in the world and I'm an American. I can't say anything about men because I don't look at them. I'm a NORMAL male. If you look at the Miss Universe contest winners, the USA has won 7 times but Venezuela has won 6 times and Puerto Rico 5 times. Both Venezuela and Puerto Rico have much smaller populations than the U.S.

Those are celebrities! Of course they're good looking. But you can't generalize that Americans are better looking based on celebrities. I'm an American and have had a fair share of traveling from Europe to Asia and I don't believe Americans are better looking than any country. There are plenty of ugly people in this country and I mean a lot. Los Angeles apart from the celebrities and media people have tons of ugly, fat regular people walking around. In fact the ugly ones exceed the good looking ones by far. I believe in general, Europeans(a little from Sweden, France, UK, Italy, Germany, Russia..) have better looking people.
