There are some very intelligent, classy, big-hearted folks who may not be quote-on-quote fine as hell BUT we all have the option to keep it moving. There are plenty of dating sites and if they don’t feel that your looks meet their "qualifications" for Beautiful "Puck ’em". Go to a site that allows anyone to sign up for dating services. Come on now, there are plenty of people that use fake pics anyway. You don’t know what they really look like unless you skype with them or meet them in person. There was a women in her forties that used a pic of her twenty-one year old daughter on a dating site. And there are a lot of beautiful people who are "beautiful" on the exterior but UGLY on the interior.

I’m fine as wine so I don’t have this problem but there are soooooo many ways to meet people you can do without this website.

I’m on the site.. and it’s not so bad. There is a rating system and everyone has to go through it.. Basically if you put up a busted half a*s picture, your not getting in. If you do the opposite.. your getting in… It’s not that serious, everyone has a beautiful side; it’s just how you choose to show it.

ROTFL @ "we can’t just sweep 30,000 ugly people under the carpet"

LMAO @ Regina – "folks with untreated mental illness."

This is hilarious!

Sad to say, I have to agree with the site. It is what the members pay for. The other thing is, if both partners are fairly equally attractive, there are fewer problems down the road.

I’m by no means an attractive person. But I do believe that beautiful people are indeed better than me, or anyone like me. As such, they have every right to reject someone who they deem unattractive. It’s genetics and natural selection. The inferior specimens aren’t really favored when it comes to passing on their genes. There ARE objective standards. Believe it or not, there are mathematical and scientific measurements which determine beauty.
For males, it’s distance between upper lip and eyebrows (shorter distance=more attractive) defined and strong jawline and chin. Prominent brows and slim hips in comparison to shoulders.
For females it’s a youthful appearance, slightly more rounded features and an hourglass figure.
Both males and females who are relatively more symmetrical with facial features more proportionate to eachother are generally regarded as more attractive.

At first glance, would you rather sleep with a Brad Pitt-type guy, or a short, pudgy and baby-faced male? No personality accounted for. First glance only. The first few seconds where subconscious evaluation of potential mate occur are much more important.

People often say it is the media that controls what we consider beautiful. But has anyone ever described Jack Black or Mr. Bean as sexy? No, because none of us would, regardless of media. The media is influenced by the demands of our own preferences. Beauty is not a myth, it is a real thing that can be calculated.

Having said that, I don’t find such a site offensive. Yes, I’m deeply hurt by the fact that I am not and will never be beautiful, and can never have, or keep an attractive partner. I also know that although I’d be happier with a woman who is dumpy, plain and unattractive-I’d only be lying to her and myself. Don’t get me wrong, she wouldn’t TRULY want me. She’d only be settling. If say I dated someone on an equal plane of attractiveness as myself, if she woke up one day and her appearance changed (not figuratively, but a literal metamorphosis,) she would not stick around for long. Probably would cheat for a little while then leave.

Yes, I’m dating someone I consider attractive, but I doubt she’ll be around long. Soon as she drops the pounds she’ll dump me for a model-type guy. I could work out (and I do try,) but it wouldn’t change my facial features and bone structure. I would still be inferior on a genetic level and that is where it counts.

So, such sites are necessary. Unattractive people (yes, I count myself among them) deserve to be excluded. Just like the infirm members of a herd are easy prey. It’s just the law of nature. The beautiful and superior members of our species are entitled to do as they please. Because let’s face it, they would do what the want anyway. This website is just another way of letting nature take its course.
