DC hot must be like office hot, both of which have no basis in reality.

You know what they say. Politicians and actors are the same. The good lookers go to Hollywood and the homely ones come to DC.

i think this is why my husband and I have probably what is an unrealistic view of ourselves (in a favorable manner). we feel pretty hot most of the time by comparison.

So you're basically saying he's unattractive.

what about the gardeners? any hotties?

This thread is hilarious, and I live in 20015. I agree there isn't a ton of real eye candy in this neighborhood, but I have to point out that OP started by saying she didn't see them at Lafayette - the elementary school and park famous for its 'tot lot.' My husband's cute, probably not eye candy, but I can promise you we never hung out at lafayette before having kids. Now that we have them, and our non-work life revolves around them, we're frankly out to enjoy our free time, not impress you. I could probably be an 'attractive' woman if I bothered, but I'm the one in a baseball cap, capris and chacos on saturday because that's good enough for us. In other words, OP, if you're looking in daddy-ville, esp. in an area where most houses list for at least $800k, you're not gonna find super-hunks. Sad, but true.

Yes, it's the favela of DC.

Love your colorful description.

I'd prefer pale over John Boehner's oompa loompa legs any day!

Spring Valley, Cleveland Park, and Georgetown

So true! Yummy!

Not from personal experience mind you.

Great, so my immediately surrounding areas (CCDC, Bethesda, AU Park) are full of fuglies.

Well, they're full of middle-aged suburban dads who, on weekends, dress like... middle-aged suburban dads. Dorky shorts and ball caps aside, they're past the eye candy point of their lives.

CC DC is mostly straight couples with kids--boring to look at.
