No. 3: Cambridge, Mass.
Harvard certainly skews the stats favorably for this New England city, but there's more to their sex appeal than high IQs. They're healthy, wealthy and sexually active (according to Qualityhealth.com's ranking), too. Throw in low rates of heavy drinkers and smokers, and you've got the formula that makes Cambridge men smart and sexy.

No. 2: Boulder, Colo.
Although the men of Boulder have plenty of qualities that make them eye candy (think: non-smokers, moderate drinkers, healthy bodies), they're also tops on our list for their cerebral attributes.

One woman's idea of what's hot can be another's what's not. How can we measure a city's sexiness if beauty is so subjective? According to evolutionary psychologist David Buss, Ph.D., author of "The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating," women look for a few key qualities in a mate. Along with the usual suspects -- love, mutual attraction and personality -- women also desire "intelligence, good health, emotional stability, ambition and industriousness, and good financial prospects," Buss says. We combed through reams of census data -- covering lifestyle factors like smoking and drinking, as well as surveys on health, weight, education and income -- to find out where the hotties live. Do you live in one of these sexy-guy cities?
