Most Attractive Nationalities In The World (2024)

According to the data, people from India are considered the most attractive people in the world, followed by those from the USA and Sweden. The rest of the top five most attractive nations are Japan and Canada. India’s dominance could be linked to its hugely successful, internationally renowned Bollywood movie scene, which has produced multiple stars that have achieved world-wide recognition and a legion of adoring fans.

Similarly, the USA has given us plenty of decade-defining icons, thanks to its blockbuster Hollywood machine, so it’s a place well-known for its lusted over celebrity faces.

A great outfit can have the whole room turning heads, so we know that fashion choices can play a key-part in who we’re attracted to. Known for their minimalist sense of style and fashion both of which can play a part of Sweden being placed as the third most attractive nation.

Known also for their minimalist sense of fashion Japan placed as the fourth most attractive nation. However, their ultra-sharp street style can also have a part to play in this.

It could be Canadians’ outdoorsy nature that means they are the fifth most attractive nation, according to our research. With incredible mountain ranges, lakes and open spaces on their doorstep, they are known for loving the great outdoors which can be a ‘green flag’ for a lot of people.

Aside from movie-star looks, fashionable clothing and a love of the outdoors, accents undoubtably play a role in determining our attraction to one another. The way certain voices can make just about anything sound alluring, passionate or charming is a real turn-on for many. So, there’s no surprise as to why France places seventh.

It’s no surprise either that Italy placed eighth. Both the French and Italian accents have long been associated with this ideal, thanks to their depiction in popular culture.

The UK comes in as the 12th most attractive nation, with Ukraine, Denmark and Poland deemed as being more attractive according to the data.

The birthplace of many Hollywood actors, it comes as no surprise that Ukraine has made it high in this list, picking Denmark to ninth place.

Height is something that is considered attractive by some and is often a playful source of conversation within the context of dating. Perhaps this is behind Denmark’s inclusion within the top 10, as they are known as a nation with some of the tallest people in the world. Similarly, Germany and the Netherlands are also known for their tall citizens and both countries landed within the top 20 most attractive nationalities.

Analysing the data by male and female, it’s Indian women that top the tables of the most attractive, followed by Japanese and Swedish women. It comes as no surprise that India claims the top spot, the country has achieved record success in iconic competitions such as Miss World, where it’s been crowned a total of six times with its earliest win back in 1966 and most recent victory in 2017.

When just looking at the male data, it’s British men that come out top as the most attractive. Followed once again by India, Italy and the USA and Sweden rounding out the top five. We perhaps could accredit the UK’s success thanks to its array of musical and acting talent that is currently dominating the world’s stage. For example, the likes of Harry Styles, Idris Elba and Tom Hardy are all achieving global recognition and success within their respective fields and regularly being lusted over by fans.
