As part of the study, Midjourney, an AI image generation tool, was tasked with producing images of what it thinks 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.’
It added: ‘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 heartthrob.
‘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.’
