Ugly People Need Not Apply

Filed in archive Online Profiles on June 25, 2008

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but at the BeautifulPeople Network it's a requirement to post a profile. The online dating service has a "ban on ugliness."

The thing I wondered was, WHO decides if someone is beautiful? According to one source, the choice goes to approved members who decide if someone is pretty or handsome enough to gain entrance to this little club.

Even if you thought of yourself as beautiful, wouldn't the fact that they screened people this way be a turnoff?

The owner of the site says it's all natural: "There's certainly nothing shallow about that, it's Human Nature."

That may be, but I've met lots of people I was initially attracted to only to talk to them a bit and get turned off by their rudeness or stupidity or arrogance. In other words, beauty goes beyond the physical!

But more than that, I'm wondering what you guys think of this service? Have you used it? Would you?
