EXCLUSIVE: What the ‘perfect couple’ looks like in every US state: AI imagines the ideal male and female pairs based on thousands of survey answers

At first glance, you’d be forgiven for mistaking these people as the newest contestants on Love Island.

But the glamourous faces aren’t real and instead were dreamt up by artificial intelligence. Love experts surveyed thousands of Americans on what qualities they find most attractive in a man and woman, including personal style, hair color, and more.

Then they asked AI to generate images of what they would look like based on those answers.

The results are actually from two individual stunts by love experts at Shane Co, who generated the ideal boyfriend and ideal girlfriend.

But now DailyMail.com has combined the results to create the hottest couple for each state. Due to the way the studies were carried out, it could only be applied to heterosexual couples.

The results involve answers from 4,100 Americans from across the country. Due to a lack of respondents, the gallery does not include Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington DC, and Wyoming.

Shane Co used the AI image generator Midjourney to create the portraits, which produce images based on users’ text prompts.

Women in each state were asked what their ideal mate would look like regarding hair color, eye color, hairstyle, and personal style.

Men were surveyed about their perfect girlfriends’ hair length, hair color, eye color, hair type, bangs or no bangs, hair part and style, makeup, personal style, and jewelry style.
