I only heard of this site after hearing an interview where a person involved in running this site basically advised applicants to post professional or airbrushed photos. I found this strange that you were supposedly voting on beauty through images that in reality do not exist. Having looked at some of the photos on this site the amount of them that were so obviously airbrushed was amazing that one would ask the question if these people were so confident in their own appearance why bother altering their image. In real life you cannot change the lighting to show yourself in the best light nor can you airbrush the features that you want to alter or change. I decided to submit an altered webcam photo with no makeup applied except lipgloss and some concealer as expected I was deemed ugly but i did take some small comfort from the rejection that 36 members voted positively. Was i hurt by those who voted negatively of course it has an impact but when i thought about it, I am probably more confidant and successful than they are so no it did not affect me at all. I wish the media would stop giving the founders of this website airtime to spread their vile unrealistic message and to stop printing their own press release like when they said they had removed members who had put on some weight, as a person involved in business this was so obvious a pr stunt but unfortunately it has worked in their favor.

In essence I have no problem with the concept of this site if people want to join so be it but I do have a problem on judgment being passed by those who alter their photos.

In reality I think most people who be far more interested in the likes of Bill Gates as opposed to some of these enhanced beautiful people.

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.
