Survey: Miami Full of Hot, Dumb People
« on: October 09, 2009, 03:42:15 PM »

(CBS)  A survey of 30 cities conducted by Travel and Leisure magazine ranked Miami number one for attractive people, but 29th for intelligence, followed only by Las Vegas.

"In Miami, you see nothing but good looking people," Scott Piccininni of Ft. Lauderdale told CBS affiliate WFOR-Miami.

Apparently you also see nothing but people with low intelligence. The city's rankings in other categories may have something to do with that. Miami scored low on theater, museums and historic monuments in the survey.

It also ranked 27th for friendliness, beating out Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and, of course, New York.

Hardly surprising--people who are convinced their looks will carry them through life all too often have nothing to fall back upon, and feel no need to mix with the "ordinary" people--another reason why LA is such a cesspool.

Don't a couple of those Kardashian girls live in Miami?  They fit right in.  I honestly have never seen such hot but completely braindead chicks.  It's like watching a train wreck - horrible, but you can't turn away.

How did they become famous?  One of them made a porn flick is all I know.

I heard people in Miami live like billionaires on a $30,000 salary. Doesn't Hawkgirl live in the Miami area? I would like to hear from her.

Did they run Miami through SimCity to get their conclusions??

No way. $30K in Miami is poverty level.

I spent my teen years and young adult years in Miami. As someone educated in the Northeast and by a father big on academics, I do think Florida lags in substantive education ie their schools suck. The transition down there when I was 12 was nothing short of culture and academic shock(and not for the better) and many of my friends from those days are as stupid as ever and moonbats. There is some truth in this study, but even the  moonbats I know aren't overly obsessed with their looks and are really nice people so my guess is they did their observations in the gay portion of south beach(which might be all of it by now). Gays, especially those in Miami, are big time snobs and poopheads. The friendliness thing though...I wouldn't say that back in the day when I lived there. In fact I think the people I came across back then(80's and 90's) were far more cordial and outgoing and lively then the people I deal with most days here in the midwest.

Well, I will say when I first moved to Miami, 8 years ago, I lived on the beach in a luxury condo building, with breath-taking views of the ocean and all the ammenities of a 5th avenue building, all on a modest income.  A few years later, you couldn't touch a unit in my building or my neighborhood unless you were wealthy...After the housing bust, it is now affordable again.

As for Miami being dumb...I'd have to agree, the school system leaves a lot to be desired...any or I should say all the people I have met who were born/raised here were not smart.  I'm sure some are products of a poor education system.  I was raised in the northeast.

Now another perspective can be attributed to the fact that it's a different generation....today's kids just don't have the drive/commitment I remember having growing up. 

I dated an argentinian underwear model when I first moved here....he was hot...and dumber than a bag of rocks....needless to say, great conversation was not the reason I dated him. :evillaugh:

BTW...most of the people who are successful in Miami, or South Florida, are from other parts of the country.
