Dating Site

Did you know there was a dating site for supposedly beautiful people? And that they supposedly booted 30,000 people off for not being beautiful enough although it may have been a publicity stunt.

Here's the link:

Even if you are considered beautiful by contemporary standards, would you sign up for a site that said it was for beautiful people? Aren't we obsessed enough about looks in our society?

  2. There are way too many people considered beautiful that I find downright unattractive, so . . . you would think a site like that would stir up a lot of arguments.

  3. And just how do they determine beautiful? Some people are beautiful on the inside. How do they judge that?
    Sounds like a bunch of duds that deserve each other.

  4. I wouldn't want to join a site that was so snobbish. There are many people that may be beautiful on the outside, but when you get a closer look at their insides they're just awful people to be around. It's really true...pretty is as pretty does:)!

    Love,

    P.S. I'm finished with my blogging break!

  5. nope, hard to think anyone thinks themselves beautiful, but there are self centred people out there, so no i wouldnt be joining a site like this, must be pretty boring anyhow if everyone on it thinks they are more beautiful that another from the site...lol

  6. Wow. I want to know who's the one determining who's beautiful or not. Crazy stuff.

  7. As has been said...how is beautiful determined?, when beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and who would want a relationship that was primarily based on being beautiful..there is nothing beautiful about being self centered and vain.

  8. I agree with everyone on this- who determines who is beautiful and who isn't? And just because a package is pretty doesn't mean the inside isn't rotten. Count me out of this website.

  9. Florida Dom,
    Ah yes. That website has been around for a few years now and the owners even came to Canada and tried to lure people they believed to be beautiful to sign up. Interestingly I have a girl friend who, by societal "norms" is considered exceptionally beautiful and who is a well known fashion model was rejected from the site because the people on the site who vote for those who can join believed her nose was not pretty enough and she was vetoed. I can not begin to describe how lovely my friend is and to much of the public she is attractive. Still she was rejected just like hundreds, nay thousands of other people who are rejected for many ridiculous reasons. Sadly there most likely will always be websites that treat people like cattle and are about conformity rather than individuality. I do not promote the site nor will I just like I do not promote any site that is based on discrimination and prejudice.

    We have a great deal to learn as a people and I do mean the whole world because this site is not just for Norther Americans, it has gone all over the world. Hopefully we will start to appreciate each others uniqueness.

    Sad really.
