When I was surfing the net, I came across this site www.BeautifulPeople.net. It is a social networking site for dating and friendship. Membership requirements are very specific – you must be very beautiful or handsome. If you don’t have a great body or a model’s face, you are rejected. Applicants are accepted or turned down based on scores given to their photos by existing members. Would you like to join BeautifulPeople.net?

That's absolutely ridiculous. Way to go, paving the way for a less shallow and looks obsessed society! Really. With all the media attention to the damage that society's current beauty standards are causing, you'd think crap like this would be fading out. Girls are starving themselves, breaking their bodies down exercising way beyond their limits, getting plastic surgery as young as thirteen... and for what? Kids are killing themselves because they can't live up to the media standards of beauty. Young girls are growing up severely psychologically damaged because there's no way they can live up to an ideal that the think they *need* to be valued as a person.
Besides the fact that a person's physical attractiveness is subject to different preferences, anyone who needs to be validated by having a bunch of random strangers on the internet telling them they're 'beautiful' has some serious self esteem issues.
This kind of crap makes me sick.

Thank you!
This kind of stuff just really grates on me. I hate the importance that's placed on what a person looks like. Human beings are made up of more than just looks, and it's impossible to have one single standard of beauty. My opinion of what's beautiful is much different than the next person's. And theirs will be different from the next, etc etc.

I wouldnt join that site. Rejecting somebody because they aren't your idea of beautiful is just wrong. The way the site is set up tells you that the members of it are vain...and very close minded. If they only want to interact with people who are beautiful on the oustide they have no idea who a person really is. Its a shame in my eyes.

Why does it matter if some random strangers online think you're good looking? What does their opinion mean? Seriously? They have no bearing on your life whatesoever.

That is so stupid. Whose to say who is beautiful and who is not. People have differnet tastes so its useless to have something like that. It is for very vaina nd self centered people. I wont waste my time joining a site like that. It might be interesting to see what others think of you but is it really worth it?......People are so hung up in whats on the outside the fail to see the inside.To me thats is what makes someone beautiful.A beautiful mind is far better than a beautiful face.

Oh Yea I looked at that site and is it me or do they just have people on there that all look alike. I wouldnt want to subject myself to that ever. Everyone looks so thin and tanned. I know I'd get rejected if they think that is beautiful.Who in the world started this site anyway?

You know what...
Pretty much all the sites have this silent policy for "pretty and beautiful" by virtue of their own subscribers. so why subscribe a site that specifies just that, when enough superficilaity (of which I am guilty) exists a gogo elsewhere....even for free!.

I'm shocked that this kind of site exists in this educated world. Beauty is not in your body it is in your soul.

There is absolutely no way I'd join a club in which the only criteria to be accepted is that you are conventionally beautiful. Imagine the emotional stress people go through when they are rejected from sites like these, told simply that they are 'too ugly' and assumed that they're, of course, not good enough to socialise with the people that have been accepted.
It's pushing shallow, unattainable ideals and the idea that a perfect body and a perfect face means a perfect person, a person people want and are the only people good enough in society to be 'accepted by the crowd.
Clubs and websites like this make me physically ill.

The sole responsibility of a community is to bring about an interaction between a group of individuals..........................not gogggle at their beatuiful faces....We have other means oof doing do that..................................................Ok! just consider what if a particular good looking person in that community is bad by nature! U would want to stick with him/her...........................................If the criteria would have been" You must have a beautiful and healthy mind", I would have surely joined but concentrating on people who are physically beautiful shows the vain nature of the community.
I would never join that community, I say "Thumbs Down " to that community.

It sounds kind of shallow to me. I wouldn't join. Don't think I'm beautiful anyways..Cute enough, but no model.

Nope, I dont think Im a beautiful person on the outside, more so on the inside. I think this is a example of the diversity of sites that you can find on the internet. Everybody should have there space in the www,the vain and the not-so-vain!

First off, I would never join that site. Sites like that makes me sick. You don't need a site to tell you if your beautiful or not. People who join that site are really vain. Besides, your looks aren't going to stay around forever. I wouldn't be surpised if a lot of the members of that site have really ugly personalities. I would never date a person who judged me by my looks. I don't judge people who I date by looks. My current boyfriend is not a looker, but he has a personality of gold. But there are people out there that will only date someone that looks good. That what makes me sad about people of my age group.
