That would be the final nael in TWW's coffin.

Sounds fair, its for beautiful people, im sure for those others theres some MyMomSaysImPretty.com or something.

1/5/2010 1:34:12 AM

I like the way he didn't use a more politically correct version of "fatties".

Besides that, who gives a shit? So fatties can't join some obscure dating site designed for attractive people... said attractive people are probably either very socially awkward or incredibly crazy bitches, anyway, if they're having to resort to the internet for dating. That or they're not as attractive as it tries to make them sound.

1/5/2010 1:36:05 AM

I'm sure that most of the profiles make it clear that they're too busy with their modeling jobs to pursue relationships.

Don't be such a n00b about the beautiful women of the internet.

1/5/2010 1:37:24 AM

That's very true, a good looking person who was also any fun to be around and tolerable to date would never need a dating sight.

1/5/2010 1:37:40 AM

The use of the verb roam conjures the image of a herd of fatties grazing in a field.

1/5/2010 1:39:35 AM

yeah. it's perfect




i dont have a problem with site. gonna create a profile using some obscure celeb's photos to check it out

1/5/2010 1:44:04 AM

Or just old pictures of a sort of famous celebrity

Yeah, because avoiding potential mates that are clearly unhealthy and/or irresponsible is being shallow.
No, no, you're right. When a guy can't get it up for a fattie, it's somehow his fault for being so shallow.

does not compute I for one have no problem with their business model and excluding those for which the website was not designed. But the way they they talk about their former clients sounds like they are a bunch of dicks.

Anyway I suppose these are the two guys that started it, not exactly beautiful IMO

Thank goodness it's still OK to discriminate against fat people.

1/5/2010 8:45:30 AM

If eHarmony can discriminate against homosexuals, I don't see how this is any different. They are the owners of the site, so they can decide who is on or not. There are plenty of other dating sites out there.

1/5/2010 10:25:32 AM

damn, how have they not sent me an invite?

It says "beautifulpeople.com" nothing about being healthy. There are plenty of self-destructive habits that can leave a woman attractive for a finite amount of time.


That being said, good for them. As long as they've got a market, why not? Fucking American dream man.

No doubt. Attractive doesn't equal healthy. My point was simply refuting the suggestion that disallowing fatties as potential mates must be shallow. Since fatties are obviously unhealthy, unhealthiness makes for an undesirable mate, and the point of dating sites is to find acceptable mates -- there's nothing shallow about eliminating fatties from the dating pool.

1/5/2010 11:30:54 AM

To be fair, fatties are rather deep.

i have no problem with this company, their business, or their methods

each person already discriminates against others they don't find attractive...whether you like fatties or anorexics, redheads or brunettes, you like what you like...beautifulpeople.com just caters to a specific group - those that hold outward beauty as being paramount among the traits they're looking for in a fuckbuddy or mate

who cares?

1/5/2010 12:44:16 PM

When manufacturing companies find defected products that no one would buy, to they still try to sell it?

No.



When fruit goes bad, do you still eat it?

No




They need a fat/ugly person dating site for those rejected by the other sites.
Like a discount rack of online dating.
