The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsThis One's Only For The Beautiful
So, has anyone out there heard of this. I saw on some tv show a while back that there is a man in England who started up a website personals for only beautiful people.
Apparently, his personals ad website has a strict entry code: you have to be voted by its members as beautiful enough to be worthy of being in his personals website.
Let me say that again, if you are a beautiful, single person and want to be in that personals website in order to find a romantic match, you have to send a photo to the site and its members (who have also been voted as beautiful) either vote that you may put your personals ad on the site or they vote against you (in other words, you're too bloody ugly, according to them).
If any readers out there know the website I am talking about, could you please send the site address to me. I'm not going to try for it, but I'm curious as to what it looks like.
I don't understand why these so called beautiful people require a personals ad to get a date, or is it just a prestige thing of being accepted into an exclusive club?
Oh, there's a rant I'll likely get into one day. How the heck does a single person meet anyone in this day and age?

This is a subject that tends to bend me out of shape.

Don't know if you saw this post http://one4thegirls.com/dearfolly/stuff/?p=81 or not but this subject made me think of it. Seems like the opinion of some in England is that normal looking guys can't get any action.

Beautiful people like to belong to every thing they can to show case their beauty. I know because I am one of the beautiful people. I'm president of the Chess club, A/V Club, and the French club and soon.....the beautiful people online dating club.

Nice.

There was a TV show on ABC for a while called "Hooking Up," which followed the exploits of about a dozen women in NYC who were trying to find dates through on-line dating services. They tried to bill it as a real-life "Sex and the City." My wife and I watched it with some interest, as we'd met each other through, believe it or not, an on-line dating service (not beautifulpeople.net, but nicelookingpeople.com or some such). Unfortunately, the show didn't give a particularly flattering view of on-line dating, but not because of the nature of on-line dating, but the nature of the people involved. Simply put, the majority of them were self-involved jerks.
The point is, I've found that many people who sign up for on-line dating don't do so because they can't get dates, but because they're simply tired of the typical bar/club/rave/art class scene. After a while, it DOES get tedious, no matter how beautiful you are.

Okay same, don't know if this is the site you were asking about: http://us.beautifulpeople.net/main_light.asp
And no, this site will not be added to my web kink/blog roll.

Thanks to everyone who helped me find the website. It was the beautiful people one, but looks pretty boring and they've done a totally weird thing with the webpage, don't like it. Anyhow, thanks again. You are all beautiful people to me.
