Are you beautiful? or do people say you are? How would you like to join a social network, based on what people think about, how you look, or how well you stand out in the public.Beautifulpeople.com is a social network that only accepts “people with personal/professional qualities that stand out from the majority”.
Entry into BeautifulPeople.net is all in the eye of the beholders.
Officially launching Thursday, the networking site is the electronic equivalent of the junior high cafeteria, with the popular kids – i.e., members – voting on whether to offer seats to the hopeful hordes. Which means that unlike other online communities such as Friendster and Thefacebook, BeautifulPeople functions more like an invitation-only social club.
The criteria are shamelessly superficial: a recent photograph (bikinis and bare biceps encouraged) and body statistics. Is your six-pack more of a two-pack? The site also accepts “people with personal/professional qualities that stand out from the majority” – like “Sandhill,” an entrepreneur with a goofy grin who says his income is $1 million-plus.
An applicant’s photo and profile is posted for three days. Members grade candidates of the opposite sex (to avoid Mean Girls-style competition) on a four-point attractiveness scale, from “Yes! Certainly!!” to – ouch – “No! Not at all!”
