Beauty if subjective...... not on this dating site

Wow... that is a pretty harsh. I am curious on how many vote do you need to get "bumped"


Dating and social network site BeautifulPeople.com has axed some 5,000 members following complaints that they had gained weight.

The members were singled out after posting pictures of themselves that reportedly showed they had put on pounds over the holiday period.

The site allows entry to new members only if existing members vote them as sufficiently attractive to warrant it.

The US, the UK, and Canada topped the list of excluded members.

The site has always been unrepentant about its selection process, calling itself \"the largest network of attractive people in the world\".

The move was reportedly prompted by members themselves, who police the membership of the site to maintain a high - if highly subjective - standard of attractiveness.

\"As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld,\" said site founder Robert Hintze.

\"Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.\"

Hey, if you decide to sign up to a site explicitly by shallow assholes, for shallow assholes, you know what you're getting.

It's the Internet. There are other options.

Pretty much. People can find other people based on common religion, political affiliation, and interests. Common thinness/hotness is just another option. If they know the standards of the site, why did they mention anything to begin with?

It's interesting how being a "fatty" is indicated as the only negative in this attractiveness thingie.

I might be just weird, but I find really skinny people scary. Like Calista Flockhart. I'm not sure she exists though, considering that the camera adds ten pounds...

Man, this site is great.

"Too ugly to be a member? Click here to browse as a guest."

It's also has a really slow search function and is kind of annoying to browse. All in all, I find the site humorous.

edit: Yes. It says that. Front page. Underneath the register and login buttons.

I can't find the "Too ugly to be a member? Click here to browse as a guest" link thingie... I wanted to see if the members are really all "beautiful" or if they're just against "fatties".

It takes a couple of seconds for the thing to say that. Scroll underneath the registration and login areas, and just wait for the blue box with a bar and slider to say it.

Man I wish we had 5000 members we could dump for being douchebags.

I only know 5 people here we could dump. Starting with me :(

The site's overloaded. Too bad. I'm quite curious.

They'd probably kick me out for being fat too, though.

I'm not anything. I just think Chabz is pretty fucking lame and stupid. That's all. But don't worry, I did take notice of you trying to squeeze it in everywhere you post as of late in a desperate attempt to get someone's response to it. It's just not funny. Sorry.

Why Gerard Butler?

I'm sorry.

I meant uteri. I didn't understand the dynamic of the plural in that case.

makare

Well, he looks to me like the male equivalent of the round tummy lady. He isn't out of shape but he isn't buff.


#40

Calleja

Calleja

No, he's quite buff, just not toned, there's a difference. Notice the size of his pecs and biceps. Buff.

(Also, that's the guy who played King Leonidas on 300, he has been ripped as FUCK)


#41



makare

Fine, I'll further qualify it. In my opinion, he is not buff, not toned or otherwise.


#42

Calleja

Calleja

So he needs to look like this so he qualifies as "buff" in your own personal scale?


#43

Hailey Knight

Hailey Knight

It depends, I guess. They don't need to be waxed, for one thing.

Does anyone know his stance on crunches?


#44



makare

No, he doesn't have to be Mr. universe or anything. He just has to be a little more defined. Right now he looks like all these men I know who were like ONCE really buff but have since had families and kids, play sports with friends and hit the gym alot, but delude themselves into thinking they have the same buff bodies they once did.

So my perception of him is, my opinion as I said, but also based on personal interaction with people with those bodies.

Man, I will forever God damn respect the work the 300 guys put in to get into that kind of shape. A bunch of us tried the 300 workout exam at the detachment nigh on 2 years ago and it was the worst experience of my life. I could barely walk the next day.

Well, yeah xD

but honestly, there is more cultural presure for a woman to be pretty and a more solidified "general female beauty standard".

Re: Gerald Butler: I'd say he is buff but not ripped. Maybe?

On topic: I was telling a friend about this site and he said 'How stupid'. Then he went on to tell me about this site: www.intelligentpeople.com . You have to take a small IQ test to register. He made me do it, and I found it pretty easy... Many questions work in a similar way. Anyway, talk about intelligent stupid. Heh.

Noo! It has to do with the sounds/letters 's', 'c', 'z'.

The registration e-mail read: 'Te haz registrado' u.u

That's the one I remember. There may have been some that Spaniards do too, like messing up b's and v's, or g's and j's. Definitely not 'haber'. I'd remember that... :S

Facebook groups and aplications are also full of s/c/z changes. And, of course, a ver/haber, Hay/ay/ahí, and lots of other mistakes that are universal to spanish people of every accent.

Ohhh... yeah, I guess you guys don't tend to make those mistakes since you actually differentiate between them when pronouncing. It's, sadly, a common mistake down here.
