"Ugly" People Booted Off Dating Site

[Spacelord]

This begs the question: why isn't there a dating site for uggos?

I'ma be rich!

Eh, their site, their rules. You can deny service to anyone you damn well please. It's only fair.

Also: Damn ugly people, always cramping our style. *looks into mirror*. Oh... crap...

 

[J.McMillen]

is anyone besides me actually having trouble connecting to this god awful site? isitup.org says it's working, but I just get connection errors when I tried to view the site. Maybe Lulzsec actually found a target they could get support for taking down.

Well we know they watch the Escapist...

Lulzsec, if you're out there, be cool for once.

Fuck this. That's all I can say, really. Fuck this. Well, maybe more. Whatever the site is, even outside the internet, it pisses me off to no limit when people put others down and such because of what they look like. I don't see how it's any different to racism. That's putting people down because of what race they're born as. Yet putting people down because of what looks they're born with is mostly accepted.
Ugh.

No, not everyone is beautiful, the site stated it was for "beautiful people".

Some people are more attractive than others, just a fact in life, getting pissy about is a bit silly IMO.

What, so it's right that because people weren't lucky enough to be born with certain facial structure, what they're allowed to do should be limited?

Do you complain that Mensa doesn't let in people of average or low intelligence? I can never really understand why this website can create such a fuss on the internet, I guess it strikes a nerve with a lot of people or something and they forget that it's a free country we live in. And while you can't just point fingers at everybody because blanket statements rarely work, often it almost seems quite hypocritical as well considering the prevalence of porn on the internet. The internet will happily jerk off to all manner of attractive people, but someone decides to make a dating site that's exclusive to people with a high standard of good looks and it's rage rage rage!

No biggie here, they called it in the name alone. Ugly ppl need not apply.
The guy sounds like a total dickbag though.

 

[Togs]

Snip

We've seen one extreme, and now we have the other one.

The guy from the site was well within his rights to boot the people who didnt belong on it, but his manner of doing so was just really bloody douchey.

 

[Akihiko]

Heh, heard about this on the radio this morning. Sort of agree with what was said, it seems like an attempt to get more viewers via the story. I mean shrek virus? Seriously?

 

[Erana]

My problem?

Spoiler: from what I can tell, they wouldn't allow someone who looks like this to be on their site:

The site isn't for beautiful people, its for pretty people. If the women frolicing around in Target commercials are now the epitome of true beauty, the artist in me is going to cry itself to sleep tonight.

-40 faith in humanity

So it's at, what? -80 or something now?

OT: Greg Hodge can take a running jump into a septic tank with that kind of attitude. I bet he was that guy in high school who would have dated his own reflection when he wasn't working out in the gym.

-70, the gay kiss thing only got -30

It's good to know that not only is your faith in humanity implied to have been naturally at 0, but that only two things were able to shake you lower: shock over one gay kiss, and a vapid and ignorable dating site continuing to be vapid and ignorable. And the vapid, ignorable dating site is in your eyes 1/3rd more heinous.

OT: This site is vapid and ignorable. I recommend we focus on a site of substance and ignore this one.

 

[LikeDustInTheWind]

I'm not gonna lie I lol'd my ass off. "Welcome to BeautifulPeople.com, Where ugly people can go f*ck themselves"

 

[Brandon237]

The site is just so stupid. Not even talking about the ugly people thing. Good looking people DON'T NEED a dating site to find another person. I'm sure they get asked out like every other day. I know several girls who are just -moderately- attractive and they get asked out all the time when they are at work. And that's just at work.

You put this very well, unless they were complete b*****s and bastards, they would be able to find someone decent IRL. Which makes me think that this is probably the worst dating site for anyone to try because of its exclusivity.

Dating sites are inherently flawed consumer products.

Met my girlfriend on a dating site; been together over 3 years now. Suspect user issues.

 

[triggrhappy94]

Take it away Marilyn...

 

[CommanderKirov]

Ohhh! That site.

Yeah if you are not attractive do not sign up on the site that yells out "THIS IS ONLY FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE".

Simple as that.

Some people are attractive to majority and some are not. Fact of life, nothing to get annoyed about.

Touché. But no. Note my age. I've not been legaly able to join those kind of sites, let alone actually use them.
I'm intreaged by your point of view, as one only hears of horror stories related to dating sites.

 

[Jonluw]

That just sounds like trolling.

I don't care though. It's their site, may they feel free to do whatever asshattery they like.

 

[Kl4pp5tuhl]

There might be a failsafe to see how broken exactly the sites terms on beauty is:

Does Snooki have a page? Someone please check.
