WASHINGTON, DC — DC is home to some of America's most handsome men, and we're not talking about the Lincoln and Jefferson monuments. According to one study, DC ranks as the fifth city in the U.S. with the most handsome men. So how did researchers determine what we all already know?

Researchers from Grooming Lounge, the "nation's premier resource for men's grooming products and advice" headquartered in DC, studied men's grooming habits in 25 of the nation's biggest cities.

They based their findings on five criteria: the amount of money men spend on personal care services, personal care products, shaving needs and apparel. Researchers also used info from the 2015 American Fitness Index Report, which assessed the fittest cities in the U.S.
