Dating service that bans ugliness comes to Canada

[J pold]

An exclusive online dating service that attempts to weed out unattractive members, allowing only the beautiful through the door, is coming to Canada.

Prospective members of the BeautifulPeople Network submit a picture and profile, and other members of the opposite sex rate the applicant over a 72-hour period, deciding whether they're worthy of joining the coveted community.

Think you would make the cut?

[troutman]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

Why do beautiful people need a dating service?

Wouldn't it be easy to doctor your application picture?

[CaptainCrunch]

Not a fricken chance in hell. they'd light my picture on fire and throw it down the well.

I like the ads from MAd T.V. for their dating service called lowered expectations.

Seriously, do hot chicks really use an online dating service. And how in the modern digital age do we know that snaggle tooth T-Rex didn't heavily photoshop her picture that she took with her camera mounted on a ceiling two blocks away.

I'm tempted to send them a picture of me doing the goat just to teach em a lesson.

[HotHotHeat]

Interestingly enough, the creators of the site look shockingly similar to the actor starring in everybody's favorite youtube video "My New Haircut." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JMOh-cul6M) Nice work ###### bags. (Youtube link possibly NSFW, language)

That's just one of their filters. Anyone who uses firefox for superior internet browsing performance is clearly too nerdy for consideration.:D

Lol, makes a lot of sense,

[CaptainCrunch]

Whats to stop you from sending in a hot model picture from a sears magazine just so that you can string along some hot but stupid chick and then crush her when you show up at your first meeting weighing 300 pounds with a BBQ sauce stained Duran Duran T-Shirt thats two sizes too small.

Of course, she'll probably show up a couple of 100 pounds over weight with a nasty toe infection and a she-mullet so heinous that Jesus himself started snapping seals in a vain attempt to end the world.

[Daradon]

^^^ People already do that... You usually need to look for people with more than one pic and at least one candid/group pic.

They probably have some sort of rules like that.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder!

Fixed :beer:

[Ozy_Flame]

I like that. They could be the hottest thing on two feet, but could be the biggest, most completely idiotic, non-intelligent selfish jerk who also happens to laugh like a bellowing walrus and chews on their forearm hair.

But as long as they look good, romance blossoms, right?

Or what's currently happening on Battlestar Galactica.

[Ford Prefect]

Actually, this might not be such a bad thing. It could sort out a lot of stupid, shallow people and pair them up with each other, effectively saving others the problem and hassle of having to deal with them in the dating arena.

[CaptainCrunch]

I'd bet my 5th level wizard character from WOW that non of these hot woman have ever dated a real man


Snooorrrrkk

[J pold]

I wonder if that girl who deemed Alberta men as useless would make it on this site

[Boblobla]

ROFLMAO.

Wasn't she a land whale? I thought someone had posted pictures of her.

I bet if she got refused her friends would come to her rescue and lambaste the people who created the dating website with an article in the Herald.

[Weiser Wonder]

This seems entirely unnecessary. If you are beautiful, why are using the internet to date?

I guess it is just preying on people's egos. People will go to the site to make sure they are as good-looking as they thought they were.

Maybe they have trouble finding other beautiful people with all of us 'Normies' out there in the way.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

[Shakira]

I'm totally gonna try it just for the hell of it, I'll let you guys know how I do! :)

[Daradon]

I had no problem finding good looking women on other sites. Though like anything on the internet (see: messagebaords :) ) you have to wade through a ton of crap to find that diamond in the rough.

Pretty much what I thought too. It's basically Hot or Not for the 21st century.

[MelBridgeman]

not sure how this stops the savages from uploading pictures of the elitests
In fact i have a feeling we will be hearing alot of matches gone bad from this site.

[Flames89]

I am all for it.

I am a guy, I like hot women. So sue me.

[Ozy_Flame]

On a related note, the number of submissions have suddenly increased on the following site:

[Burninator]

This site has internet jihad written all over it. The evil collective of the internet should converge on this site and only vote for the ugly people.

[Burninator]

Oh, and this site practically exists already. It's called hot or not. Great idea guys.

http://www.hotornot.com/

[The Fonz]

A lot of the pictures on that site just look like regular people...

Also, I read in the paper that you have to submit a photo of yourself holding the current days newspaper. This is the security measure to make sure you aren't throwing in pics of models.



So how insecure do you have to feel about your appearance to apply for a beautiful peoples club?

"I'm...in...? I'M IN!!!! I'M BEAUTIFUL!!! TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAID I'D NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING, WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!!! HA! HA!"

Lame.

Why am I not surprised that one of the founders has a fauxhawk. That hairstyle just screams "dousche".

[Dan02]

not to mention atleast in my eye he wouldn't make the cut for the site.

[Blaster86]

You know, this site just never seemed like it was a good idea for me. Here's a few reasons why.

This is the big on for me, and in the end it's killed a lot of relationships that had already either started or were just getting going. Communication over the internet is really REALLY hard. If you make any sort of joke that is lewd or possibly mean that would get passed off as playful flirting in real life, you must follow it with every cute emoticon you have, otherwise it's probably going to crash and burn. How much do you want to bet a lot of these people are sensitive about their looks and that it would end poorly if you made a joke about a girl being "just not having enough symmetry." (On the flip side, how fun would it be to get on there and just shoot everyone down?)

The second one is also a problem. Pictures online are deceiving. Angles are everything. I've seen girls who look stunning in one photo and then make me scream "DO NOT WANT" and run from the computer crying in other photos. One of my friends willfully admits that she takes around 100, 200 pictures when she's getting photos of her self and uses about five of them.

And the final one, if you are on there looking for anything beyond shallow sex you're in for a surprise. You're trying to date someone on the sole basis of their looks. The relationship is as deep as the kiddie pool.

[MoneyGuy]

No way I'd want to date some stuck up person like probably hangs out on that site. They're probably shallow. I prefer ordinary, well-rounded folks.

Well said canuckle, i agree especially with the Pictures issue.

[Jetsfan]

All these dating sites do is sell hope and steal your money. Studies show that a beautiful "super-model" woman is approached by a pospective suiter at least 30 times a day. Ask yourself, why does this woman need to use this website. I laugh when I'm watching late night TV and one of those 1-900-talk commercials comes on with a gorgeous young woman who is by herself at home and needs to talk on the phone to meet guys. Its a fantasy.

[Thor]

So true about the women taking pictures, I know of a few girls that take 100's of photos from different angles hoping to find a few good ones they can put up.

But then you always get the ones taking photos of themselves at arm's length or on their crappy webcam.

just because you put makeup on doesn't mean you're not ugly.

[The Fonz]

Just curious, is fauxhawk pronounced "fox-hawk" or "fo-hawk"?

[calf]

You're just saying that because you'd never get in.

You look like you need one of these :bag:

yea, I'm kinda looking for women who also prefer "well-rounded" men ;)



*can't seem to find any, although it might be the "fugly" part that scares 'em off rather than the well-rounded part

[Flames89]

Now THAT is an awesome use of a random study.

Personally, I believe your "study" is the fantasy on here. There are many a hot woman (especially the VERY hot) who are never approached at all ... my source? Just the odd conversation ...

When they do get approached. It is usually by men that the average woman woudn't want anything to do with.

Men, or humans, have a fear of being rejected. Most men assume that the very hot woman will definatly turn them down. So there are a lot of lonely hot woman out there.

I think he was refering to then being appoached "online". Good looking girls on dating websites get tons of approaches, and that's why your chances with them are really low.

[dubc80]

This thread reminds me of the classic line in the movie Liar Liar.

Max: My teacher tells me beauty is on the inside.
Fletcher: That's just something ugly people say.

[FireFly]

What they really need is a dating website for people who care about grammar and education. If you can't string together a proper sentence, use capital letters where appropriate, spell and punctuate properly, don't message me.

[Locke]

Finally, a dating service that allows me to get away from the unwashed masses of the proletariat public.

Good riddance you foul vermin.

I am not saying that I don't flirt with attractive people. I am just saying that when there's a site solely dedicated to being beautiful it's not a dating site. It's a One Night Stand site.

Look how in depth all those profiles are. No one there is looking for someone they're gonna see again a month from now. If I want a one night stand I'll go out clubbing, not troll the internet.

[CaptainCrunch]

I wonder how many of those girls are professional escorts or hookers.

[CaptainCrunch]

I set em up, you knock em out of the park.

Its verbal tee-ball.

Fair enough, here is a link to a paper on it. Its about 30 pages but well worth the read.

Agreed. Interesting paper, and a lot of good discussion points. Yes, women choose. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus.

But kidding aside - it is interesting. I should look into more eugenics readings.

However, (and to stay on topic), I saw no reference to a statistic saying that the average "super-model" looking girl gets approached 30 times a day. I could have missed it, as I didn't read with a comb.

But I believe that "stat" to be totally false. Sure, on an internet site, that woman is getting about a 1000 hits a day, by any guy that can click a button. And yes, those phone lines (and many internet casual sex sites) are rip offs (site makes false women postings to get guys to pay).

However, if you have the confidence to chat to an EXTREMELY hot girl - I would bet odds are you will end up with one. Easy. However most of us turn to idiots in the face of uber-beauty.... and then there is a the correlation between uber-beauty and mind-numbing conversation (but that is another matter).

[The Fonz]

I can't see beautiful women being hit on 30 times a day...unless you count yelling things from a distance.

"Hey sexy! I could have fun with you!"

See^^. That's what guys do, because we're afraid of being rejected by that beautiful girl. We get so confident when we're standing 80ft away, and she isn't even entirely sure who said that. She can't reject you if you can't hear what she's saying.



I think gorgeous girls get "creeped on" a lot. There are a lot of cases of guys just following them around...like the mall for example. Following them from store to store, only staring at the girl from behind the clothes rack, never saying "hello" though.

You'll have a lot of success with hot girls if you just approach them, and talk politely and confidently. They're surprised and relieved, I don't think they get this a lot.

As the "occidental" article at the top of the page says attractive women are choosers and they prefer the small percentage of men who are attractive, wealthy or powerful. If you are an average looking male with a modest income you have very little chance of being chosen. Thats why attractive women mate with only a small percentage of men. If your one of those "alpha males" thanks to genetics and pedigree then consider yourself fortunate.
