BeautifulPeople

I just joined beautiful people.com. It's a complete joke. Their are really no active members on there and the profiles seem fake. They also send you fake messages from women so that you upgrade your membership.
Don't waste your time on that site

I managed to get in using my only decent photo which was great but really that is the end of the fun unless you pay. I can message someone after having my photo verified but unless they are a member they cannot read it. The only good thing that you can do is once accepted is vote on others although you need to be thick skinned to keep turning down some of the less than beautiful hopefuls.

After a while suddenly on the same day two women messaged me one from Indonesia (I am UK) and the other was half my age. So I am guessing either I am more beautiful than I thought or something is a little fishy here and trying to get me to pay for membership so I can read these messages.

I have deleted my profile and I even wonder now if they gave me a little help to join as expect my vote was marginal as definately not beautiful but sadly I expect the thing this site found attractive about me was the size of my potential wallet.

So of course this site is like the others in that they entice you to join for free then hit you with fees to talk to the other people. That's fine... it's expected, whatever. But the problem is the sheer volume of fake profiles and scammers. Just look at the top men/women and you will see pictures of celebrities (Jason from True Blood was among the top voted men)... so that gives you an idea of their quality control of user profiles.

The site does not accept paypal and according to others they will continuously charge you even if you cancel payments. I'm 1/2 way through my first month and even though I'm paid through next month, I cancelled the subscription and deleted the profile.

I really only signed up out of curiosity to see if I was "beautiful" enough to be voted in... yes very shallow, the whole premise is shallow. You will not find anyone REAL here... you have been warned.

I heard about the site and applied, I was accepted. So I'm not sour over not getting in. But I do feel like the site could have some better qualities. The interface isn't very "beautiful" and the site always runs slow. It's hard to connect with other members in comparison to the ease of connection you get with a site like facebook. When I want to invite people to an event, it's much harder then it would be on facebook. All in all, beautifulpeople.com has a cold feeling to it and I would prefer a regular dating site/networking site over it any day.

I use this website periodically to figure out if what I find beautiful is what other people find beautiful. I'm female. I've signed up 2 of my female Indian friends & 1 male Korean pop-star for this website. All 3 were accepted.

The women were modestly dressed, but looked polished with decent lighting, no photoshop. Both women were non-white (Indian origin). One woman was accepted with 70% "Beautiful" vote. I thought she'd do better than that because she's very photogenic.

The Korean pop-star (Max Changmin) was voted in with a 45% "Beautiful" rating. Based on his candid application picture (hair styled, but bad lighting), I thought he'd get in with mostly "Hmm OK".

So my final assessment: I'm in agreement with what most people consider beautiful non-whites.

A comment about voting on the GUYS ONLY: white guys have it the easiest. Blacks, Hispanics, and Arabs are second tier. When it comes to Indian guys & Asian guys, it's pretty tough.

As shallow and pathetic as it makes me feel to admit it, I was actually very surprised at how many women got voted in that aren't even remotely attractive. Men really have way too low of standards. They'll vote in anyone with a vagina who's under 35 and not incredibly bug eyed and buck toothed. I was looking forward to a dating website filled with only beautiful people but found that match.com or okcupid has just as many, if not more.

I'm a returning member and the interface has gotten a lot better. The site was changed to where females only get the news feeds of males and vice versa. When I signed up some years back, there used to be brutal verbal abuse fights, mostly between female members. These fights were broadcast to the entire community. I got very disappointed and frustrated with this practice. I ended up Facebook friending a few members I met in forums and deserting the site. I've been voted back in and so far I like what I see.

I'm a new member, I don't know that I would say that I'm using it for, "dating," but it does piss off my girlfriend that I get so many email alerts from overly attractive women looking at my profile. I find the ranking system, all be it objectifying, quite addictive and I can post events that some people have actually shown. I wouldn't pay the membership, it's a bit of a overly romanticized, "hot or not," deal with forums and hot girls from all walks of life.

I'm puzzled.
I have always been somewhat of a head turner in my university. When I walk in a room, both guys and girls stare, point and whisper (at the expense of my comfort). Yet when I uploaded one of my photos as an experiment, I got voted out within a minute with a lot of "absolutely not"s.
I don't really get this website. I browsed through a few profile with extremely average looking people. Does beautifulpeople.com have some kinda of out-of-this-world standards or something?
