are you ugly? - bit-tech.net Forums

Found this story about a site that only admits pretty people.

Prospective members of beautifulpeople.net submit a photo and profile in hopes of being deemed attractive enough to be a member by those who have already passed the subjective voting process

I thought the hot or not.com website was bad enough. apparently pretty people need a special place just for them.

The website also ONLY accepts IE v5.5 or higher! HAHAHAHAHAHA

So not only are they beautiful, but also incredibly stupid.

ahhahah

On a serious note, is this special interest community any different from cosplay domains or muscle car communities? It's tailored to a specific group of people with specific, like interests. I don't have a problem with it, even though its admission criteria is shallow.

I don't see what's wrong with it, but then again, I'm hawt

Ghys · 26th Jun 2008, 04:17

specofdust will definitely be interested

chrisb2e9 · 26th Jun 2008, 04:26

just for the record, I dont see anything wrong with it either. people can do what they want. but I agree with Amon, its pretty shallow.

what is their common interest? shallowness and vanity?

It's just a place where us beautiful people can bitch about all you uglies... get over it

How did she get in?

EmJay · 26th Jun 2008, 05:52

She's 19, with a college degree, and a fashion buyer? It's possible... but it's also teh interwebz, so I'm guessing not.

Ninja edit: Check out the survey. Question #15 is 'do you more often than not have sex on the first date?' Men are split 80.3% to 19.7%, women are split 51.8% to 48.2%. Best example of self-reported bias EVAH. (Or else there's a very high gay population on the site.)

bahgger · 26th Jun 2008, 05:53

I'm judging by her face, not her qualifications and age. Ewwww

I know.

I was just amused by the profile claims. Apparently a lot of the chicks on this site are 19 and highly educated professionals... It kind of ruins the point of the site if it's all so blatantly fake.

theevilelephant · 26th Jun 2008, 08:23

minor problem here.....people will just upload one of the following:
a)photo of an attractive person (not them)
b)photo of themselves photoshopped to be attractive
c)photo of themselves with so much makeup etc shot at a funny and in bad light so they look "interesting"

kingred · 26th Jun 2008, 08:27

i want to flood that site with vore.

Jamie · 26th Jun 2008, 08:46

How do you prove you are attractive? Ugly people could just take a random photo of someone attractive and say it's them.

Bindibadgi · 26th Jun 2008, 09:29

"I want to start a website that only allows, white, English people into it - please send a photo and name so I can verify it"

Oooo, wait there..

liratheal · 26th Jun 2008, 10:28

I roffled.

I wonder where they come up with these ideas..

13en · 26th Jun 2008, 10:35

that's classic :P
They're doing the rest of the internet a favour by keeping all these vain, shallow, self-centred, apparently highly qualified, fools in one place away from the rest of us.
It also reminds me of this 'millionaires and beautiful women' only dating site that for some reason Facebook insists on giving me ads for... I guess you get all sorts on the internet, and they all need sites catering to them.

Agreed, if you don't like it then you can always change yourself.
We call you people 'normies'.

still better than sending me spam about breast enlargment (last time I checked I was still male).

anyway, why would it matter if they restrict that dating site to "nice looking" people? online dating sites are full fakes anyways.
