Dating Website 'For Beautiful People Only'
Survival of the hottest?

Dating website Darwindating.com vows to weed out the unattractive people from its dating pool, forcing them to swim somewhere else. Touting that they're "online dating for beautiful people only," they use Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection as their justification, but they point out that, because Charles Darwin was "very ugly," he wouldn't be able to join the site. From there, they proclaim the plight of the good-looking people everywhere.
"Attractive people are at a disadvantage on normal internet dating sites. They have to wade through a plethora of ugly people and ugly people pretending to be attractive in order to find someone who matches their own attractiveness. Our strict rules and natural selection process makes Darwin Dating the perfect medium for attractive people to find other people of their own kind."

Indeed, the ugly need not apply. So what constitutes ugly? Well, they have a full list, including: acne, mullets, bald patches, large gaps between teeth, too many freckles, and bizarrely enough, "anyone with a middle part." There's even a "chimp calculator" to see if you make the cut.
Initially, the whole thing sounds like a gimmicky marketing ploy, a harmless half-joke to entice anyone to join the site. But nope. Last year, another exclusive site for the physically gifted, BeautifulPeople.com, went under fire when it said that Irish men were the ugliest in the world. Um, what?
And the controversy didn't stop there. Beautiful People then eliminated 30,000 new members for being what CEO Greg Hodge deemed, "ugly people."
And Hodge stood by the decision, which cost the site more than $100,000.
"We have to stick to our founding principles of only accepting beautiful people—that's what our members have paid for. We can't just sweep 30,000 ugly people under the carpet."

Unfortunately, the axing meant that Rachel Godfrey, a 31 year-old Australian nanny, lost touch with a match she met on Beautiful People.
"I was getting on really well with this American guy and we were going to go on a date and then they said I'd been chucked off and they locked me out of the site," she said. "Now I can't get in touch with him."
While Darwin Dating seeks to evolve our world into one where only the hot survive, it seems like discriminating against people based on looks is devolution. But hey, maybe that's just the ugly talking.

Interesting concept I wonder what the weeding out process is

 

That reminds me of something 70yrs ago in my country..only blond and blue eyes were attractive.

To say about myself that "I am ugly" is something else than someone tells me "you are too ugly for us". Is that legal?

 

I wonder what they mean by chimp process. In my head I imagine a bunch of chimps sitting in a room and they hold pics in front of them.



Why don't you apply?? Come back and report in.

 

I don't know. .......I suppose if it's a private company??

 

I tried joining that site a year or so ago, they told me I was to ugly haha. :smt022 :smt071

 

I know something like that called as "Elite" agency- only for academics..but this is something you can prove, a fact, but discrimination, because of how you look like?
Private company or not, they also have to follow the law.

 

Such a brilliant website.

 

Got someone dont need it ;-)

 

JordanC, Greg Hodge is the CEO, who is most likely white and very wealthy. He includes a "chimp calculator" within his website. I can't believe you all haven't figured this out. It's a creative form of racism against us. Historically, we are the ones who were referred to as being chimps hundreds of years ago by slave owners.

Look here, please! http://scienceblog.com/15428/americans-still-linking-blacks-to-apes/

 

I would suggest you go to Dawin Dating and get the facts before you link the two or link it to being something against bm. There are ugly people in all races.

 

I know, we all come from being that species. That's part of human evolution.

But you can't deny that there's a racial overtone towards it specifically for us and our race. The chimp calculator is controversial. Ask yourself. Why would he even call it "a chimp calculator"?

 

Mikey if I told you I had some chocolate ice cream in the freezer you would somehow think that was racial too.

 

No, I wouldn't. There's a big difference between the dating site and a package of ice cream. The ice cream is of no importance.

 

Obviously I have a profile on there. This level of beauty along with my perfection needs an equal

 

But, of course! :smt081

 

Blasphemy!!! Have you never chosen chocolate ice-cream over a date?!? Delicious!! :tonqe:

Or you could put it on your date's *pu-pu and lick it?




.

*(pu-pu is Igorlatumus speak for fingers, k? )

 

Mikey here is the chimp test from a cached copy of their web page:

Have you evolved? Take the test!

Tick if Yes
Do you have webbed fingers or toes?
Do you have hair between your fingers?
Do you have weird body hair - i.e. in ear or nose?
Are any of your body parts losing the fight with gravity?
Have you ever received gifts of deodorant, toothpaste or soap?
Do you have visible skin between your eye brows?
Have you been propositioned in the last 24 hours?
Have you ever felt the urge to get a mullet (haircut)?
Have you ever lost an item indefinitely in your fat rolls?
Do you still own a hypercolour t-shirt and/or happy pants?



Not one fuckin things seems racist in that test. When they say chimp I think them mean a real unevolved animal.....now you can make anything racist if you try hard enough.......now let's see your silly ass try. :smt021
