And these people wonder why they are single?

This has to be the most narcissistic shit I've ever seen.

6/20/2011 2:14:40 PM

it's all relative to the size of your steeple

6/20/2011 2:15:58 PM

why do unattractive people take so much offense when they're told what they already know.

6/20/2011 2:19:03 PM

^ You ugly

Eh, they're sticking to their guns. Gotta give them credit for that at least in fixing the effects of the virus.

Quote :

"Last month Beautifulpeople.com was the victim of a cyber attack in which the Shrek virus -- named after the ugly animated character -- attacked the software used to screen applicants, allowing an influx of new members, The Guardian reported. Unfortunately several thousand of those members failed to meet the Denmark-based site's aesthetic standards, and have now been dropped. Such is the level of fury, the site's operators have set up a counseling helpline to ease the pain of rejection. "We have to stick to our founding principles of only accepting beautiful people -- that's what our members have paid for," BeautifulPeople.com's Greg Hodge told The Guardian. "We can't just sweep 30,000 ugly people under the carpet." The website works on a system under which members are able to rank applicants on a beauty scale. The decision to reject 30,000 cost the company more than US$100,000 in refunds and Hodge sent a regretful email to the distressed dumpees."

Plus not everyone can get a trophy etc etc

I was focusing on the idea behind this dating site. I can count on one hand the number of happy couples I've seen that has 2 "beautiful" people.

LOOKS ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A RELATIONSHIP.

You're probably just ugly and don't get to associate with that many beautiful people.

What's funny is that you can get voted off. Even more entertaining is the idea that when you think about the typical person who is on the internet enough to bother voting for or against people on a website they usually are not those whom one would think would be allowed into a site that is supposedly so restrictive.

you couldn't be more wrong, there are lots of attractive people in healthy relationships. And attraction is an important part of a relationship/dating.

With a big enough carpet, anything is possible!

This link provides some interesting details that the other didn't:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/jun/20/dating-website-beautiful-people-members

IF YOU GET FAT FROM CAKE/WINE, DON'T POST NEW PICS OF YOURSELF!!!

Quote :

"The brutal axing of the 30,000 hopefuls is not the site's first brush with controversy. Last year, about 5,000 members were removed from the site after they had appeared to put on weight during the Christmas period."

The ugliest and prettiest people in the world:

Quote :

"This month, the website triggered anger in Ireland when it said that Irish men were among the ugliest in the world. This was based on the reasoning that only 9% of male Irish applicants to the site were accepted. Only 20% of Irish women are accepted, compared with nearly 70% of Swedish women who sign up. The prospects are even worse for British men, as according to Hodge, they are the most likely be rejected. "It's a bit of a sting as I'm a Brit," said Hodge, who is based at the site's head office in Los Angeles. On average one in seven people are rejected from the site which has around 700,000 members in 190 countries. He said Norwegian women and Swedish men have the greatest chance of being accepted into the club, while Brazilian and Danish men are also popular – along with women from Sweden and Iceland.[/b]"

And last but not least:

Quote :

"Rachel Godfrey, a 31-year-old Australian nanny living in LA, said she received an email telling her she was rejected two weeks after being accepted. "I was getting on really well with this American guy and we were going to go on a date and then they said I'd been chucked off and they locked me out of the site," she said. "Now I can't get in touch with him." Godfrey said she is planning to have a makeover and professional photo shoot before reapplying to the website. "What if he's the one? This is only way I'll be able to get in touch with him," she said. "If that doesn't work I'll see what I can do with Photoshop.""

Photoshop LOLOLOL... but then he can see the pixels, you stupid woman!!!

6/21/2011 10:28:21 AM

"i looked at your mom's photoshopped pictures, and i could tell by the pixels that she was the one"

6/21/2011 11:00:06 AM

You guys have it all wrong. Its

RICH MAN + Beautiful woman= Beautiful rich kids
then Rich kids+ Rich kids= Rich family arranged marriage=more rich, beautiful kids

6/21/2011 11:54:01 AM

my dad has an interesting "theory" on beauty.

he thinks that the farther people genes are apart, the prettier the kids.
incest can breed some ugly kids.


this would explain why most mixed race children are gorgeous!

6/21/2011 11:56:39 AM

wait, I thought true beauty is on the inside......

6/21/2011 11:58:30 AM

^^ I just googled "ugly mixed babies" and you might be right.

6/21/2011 11:59:55 AM

its something my dad always said and we always laughed.


but now i think....he may be onto something.
