Beautifulpeople.com recently ranked which states have the most attractive singles based on the acceptance rates of the more than 1.6 million Americans who have applied to the dating site. Current members vote on the profiles of prospective singles of the opposite sex. After a 48-hour evaluation period, the majority vote by current members decides if an applicant is attractive enough to be on the site. On average, only one in eight applicants are accepted. So far, over 1.4 million Americans have been rejected.

According to the users on beautifulpeople.com, Texas has the most attractive singles in the US, with the highest percentage of applicants to the site granted membership. Texas was followed closely by California, New York, Florida, Maine, Colorado, Georgia, Washington, Montana, and Hawaii. The ugliest state is North Dakota, followed by South Dakota, Alabama, Kansas, and Michigan.

While men consistently select female members based solely on physical beauty, female voters look for confidence, humor and a man’s ability to portray a stable and secure lifestyle—all important factors when women define “beauty.”

“It’s no surprise when looking at the different ways men and women vote,” says Greg Hodge, Managing Director of BeautifulPeople.com. “BeautifulPeople is like a microcosm of what we see in society. Men tend to be purely visual and vote solely on a woman’s appearance. Women look at the ‘bigger picture’ questions such as ‘can this man provide?’ or ‘does he have a good job?’”

The BeautifulPeople rankings are as follows:

5 Most Beautiful States for Men: 1) Missouri, 2) Texas, 3) California, 4) Wisconsin, 5) New York

5 Most Beautiful States for Women: 1) Wyoming, 2) Maine, 3) Texas, 4) California, 5) Nevada

5 Most Beautiful States Overall: 1) Texas, 2) California, 3) New York, 4) Florida, 5) Maine

5 Ugliest States for Men: 1) N. Dakota, 2) S. Dakota, 3) Idaho, 4) West Virginia, 5) Wyoming

5 Ugliest States for Women: 1) Alabama, 2) Arkansas, 3) N. Dakota, 4) Alaska, 5) Kansas

5 Ugliest States Overall: 1) N. Dakota, 2) S. Dakota, 3) Kansas, 4) Alabama, 5) Michigan
