Only Beautiful People Need Apply
Dating service that bans ugliness comes to Canada
An exclusive online dating service that attempts to weed out unattractive members, allowing only the beautiful through the door, is coming to Canada.
Prospective members of the BeautifulPeople Network submit a picture and profile, and other members of the opposite sex rate the applicant over a 72-hour period, deciding whether they're worthy of joining the coveted community.
The online service even goes so far as to advertise a ban on ugliness -- something the managing director says is more a reflection of reality than evidence of arrogance.
"If you're in a bar in a romantic situation and you're going to approach someone with a romantic inclination, you're going to approach someone you're attracted to, at least initially," Greg Hodge tells Canada AM. "There's certainly nothing shallow about that, it's human nature."
Hodge says he isn't trying to define beauty. Instead, he said the organizers believe in the old maxim 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and as such they give the power to the people -- other approved members -- to decide who is allowed in.
Including Canada, the dating service now operates in 16 countries, and Hodge attributes the success to a simple formula.
"It plays on a clever combination of four things: beauty, love, sex and money. Advertisers use those four desires to sell us pretty much everything and Beautiful People plays on a clever combination of all of that," Hodge said.
Not everyone thinks the concept is so clever. Lisa Naylor counsels teens with body image issues and says the website is a step in the wrong direction.
"I think the message that it gives girls - boys and girls, but particularly girls - in the culture about appearance is quite damaging," Naylor told CTV News.
Jacqueline Levitin is a Simon Fraser University professor who teaches how women are portrayed in popular culture. She says the site is evidence that the feminist movement still has a long way to go.
"I don't think things have changed all that much," Levitin told CTV News. "I think we've done a lot of back-sliding."
Hodge admits the dating service usually provokes some negative reactions whenever it opens in a new market and he jokes he could soon need his own security detail.
But the bottom line, Hodge says, is that the online service simply makes it easier for people -- provided they pass the attractive test -- to meet that special someone.
"People want to be with someone they're attracted to, that was the initial premise of the creation of Beautiful People, remove that first hurdle," Hodge said.
"And once you do become a member of this coveted community, you have essentially the best little black book in the world."

Indeed in the case of you being beautiful, I think I forgot to add that its only in that case...that I lied about you being beautiful... :P
Otherwise, I normally am quite true to the world...but ofcourse, Lies need to be there ...
u admit to being good at lies? i will keep that in mind from now on... dam me, all this time i was believing you.
"And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course" -Khalil Gibran
Sometimes to ignore the Truth that comes at the end of the statement is quite handy, gives you a lot to talk about, and yesyou could ignore me being blind part...but also remember...I do tell LIES and I'm pretty good at them...but I m not telling that you being beautiful is a LIE right on your face...dont worry... :P
Did you get to see Johnny's tatoo ??
is it really in that place?
lol this is stupid...

You know, that you are screwed, when ur phone rings, while you sneak into your own house like a thief and your wife is asleep at 3 am in the morning... Perhaps that would be the last time you enter your own house lol.

45 is not almost 50, and you also said you dated him BEFORE he was dating Vanessa Paradis, and that was 3 years ago, which is sheer bullcrap since they've been dating for 10 years.

Damn straight, all us Canadians are good looking. But once again, if you are that beautiful WHY do you need to resort to online dating?? My guess is these peoples personalities are so bad that NO ONE wants them.

This is excellent.. It would be funny, if it wasn't real .. Gypsy, at least you're OK..
Greg Hodge, Managing Director of BeautifulPeople.net viewed Canada as the ideal market to take BeautifulPeople Network to the next level. "Some of the
world's most beautiful women have stemmed from Canadian soil. There are many gorgeous people in this country, but there are also many uglies. We'd like the
former to apply!" blatantly states Hodge.
"We simply and unashamedly exist so that beautiful people can meet other beautiful people, without the unwanted attention of those who are less attractive."
I wonder what they would talk about ?
Most of the people there must fake...the pics there must be the pics of somebody else. There is never 100% gurantee....I prefer the strip-cams where you know what you see is real...lol
I wouldn't be surprised if this site is taken to court...but perhaps because it's online, and perhaps not based in Canada they can't? Not sure how the laws apply in this case.
