"To bring the findings to life, we used AI technology"
India has taken the top spot among the most attractive nationalities in the world.
The ranking was produced by an analysis of thousands of Reddit posts about attractive nations.
Any Reddit posts referencing ‘attractive’, ‘sexy’, ‘beautiful’, ‘handsome’, ‘gorgeous’, ‘good looking’, ‘pretty’ and ‘hot’ with a country were analysed.
A score was then created using the number of posts, comments and upvotes.
According to a study by swimwear brand Pour Moi, India holds the number one spot.
Coming in second is the USA, followed by Sweden, Japan, Canada and Brazil.
The UK ranks number 12. But British men are thought of as the most attractive.
A spokesperson said: “We analysed Reddit data, scraping the number of posts and upvotes that spoke about attractive nations, to reveal which nationalities the world is most attracted to.
“To bring the findings to life, we used AI technology to discover what these attractive nations might look like.
“We asked AI to show us what ‘attractive’ looks like in each of these countries, and you can find the results within the data research below.”
In the most attractive male nationalities ranking, India comes second, followed by Italy, the USA and Sweden in fifth place.
The most attractive female nationalities is topped by India, with Japan in second place, Sweden in third, Poland in fourth and Italy taking fifth place.
AI image generation tool Midjourney produced images of what it believed attractive people in 14 of the countries look like.
Pour Moi said: “When it comes to the most attractive women around the world, Indian women top the list for Reddit users.
“With an extremely successful Bollywood movie scene, with women wearing gorgeous gowns and wearing equally as eye-catching make-up and hair, it’s easy to see why these women have been crowned the most attractive.
“Making up the remainder of the top three are Japanese and Swedish women.”
“Both with their own uniquely distinctive looks, Japanese women often sport super clean looks that are the envy of fashionistas around the globe whilst Swedish women are regularly photographed opting for a more paired-back minimal style, often accompanied with their recognisable blonde locks.
“For the most attractive male nationalities, the UK tops the list for users online who may be swooning over the quintessentially British handsome man you think of from classic period dramas such as Pride & Prejudice or a more modern-day heart-throb.
“Indian men are second in the list as the most attractive men, whether it’s their sultry good looks drawing people in or their typically strong family values people find enticing.
“Rounding off the top three are Italian men, known for being quite passionate about life and more expressive with their feelings, it’s easy to see why users would find them so attractive.”
