A list from Travel + Leisure Magazine paints a pretty vivid picture of Seattle: We’re the girl who went to prom with a purse full of books.

The yearbook probably said we were voted most likely to write a great American novel, and we’re wearing braces in our senior-class picture.

The magazine released its list of “America’s Favorite Cities” Monday, and Seattle doesn’t come out looking so loved. Sure, we’re ranked first for coffee bars and second for levels of intelligence. (Portland came in first in the smarty-pants race.) But Seattle landed in the bottom 10 in three important “people” categories: attractiveness, friendliness and style.

The list is based on the votes of residents and non-residents of major cities around the nation. Charleston was basically elected national prom queen, winning the categories of friendliest city and most attractive people.

First all those Boeing jobs, and now this? I’m starting to question how friendly Charleston really is.

New York has the best ethnic food, according to the list. Chicago has the best pizza and Memphis has the best barbecue.

Salt Lake City is the cleanest (and safest) city, and Honolulu is the best for a romantic getaway.

Don’t feel bad about being left off so many lists, Seattle. The true test of character is the quality of your summer weather and farmers markets — and you’re second in the nation for both of those, according to the list.
