There's a new website similar to Faceparty, where ONLY people who are voted good-looking enough are allowed to join. You sign up, fill out your profile (job, income, car etc.) and submit a photo.

You're then submitted to the current members, and they decide if you're worthy enough to join!

I signed up this afternoon, and it really is the most shallow and self-obsessed website ever. You've got dashing Lawyers, male models, dancers, investment bankers etc. all up there (most earning £70k +).

Apparently only 1 in 20 who submit their profile eventually get selected to join this elite website.

http://www.beautifulpeople.net

Personally, I think it's just a bit of fun. Anyone with a good eye for spotting a fake person will soon see that there are a lot of fake people on there! :)

Similarly, gaydar introduced some kind of 'hot' rating thing for people to nominate and vote for blokes. I thought it seemed a bit shallow in my opinion, to the extent of being a bit sniffy about those who had put themselves forward for it.

Then I got a message saying someone thought I was 'hot', and I thought it was asking me to acknowledge receipt. So I did.

Next thing I realise I have been entered into this beauty pageant. And I have racked up a dozen votes.

I don't know how to remove it without deleting my profile, and I don't want to do that.

So shallow I shall be.

Doesn't work properly on any of the Mac OS Browsers (Including IE)...

(Not that there's any point in entering myself) :lol:

How shallow is that?! Actually quite amusing though.

Reminds me of the tagline of the gym run by Ben Stiller's character in "Dodgeball" - something like "We're better than you - and we know it". ;)

Don't think I will be popping my profile on here. Anyway, it says virtually nothing other than "message me if you want to know more" and displays the same scowling picture I have here.

Perhaps the 'hot' refers to my chat with people who message me. Or its the verdict from those who have met me.

But I wouldn't want to speculate.

I'll just snap my fingers and a dozen lads will do it for me.

In other words, a site where you can take your pick of good-looking Windows Internet Explorer users! Definitely not Hyma's site, then...

Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness, Martin.
