This is just the latest from the crazed online materialistic, superficial, and stereotypical world.
The BeautifulPeople Network is an online dating service that has just come to Canada for “beautiful people” only.
Huh?
If you want to join the service, you must submit a picture and profile, and other members of the opposite sex rate you over a 72-hour period, deciding whether you’re worthy of joining their club.
Now I’m not about to lie and say that looks don’t matter at all, but geez, who really gets to have the final say on that?
Thanks to Julia for the link!

You're welcome!
The owner of this "service" even admits openly that the premise is superficial and that he might be a bit of a jerk for promoting it, but insists that it's more honest than other dating services.
Why? Because the people have been pre-approved by the group? Because when you get a date request from someone in this group, you know they're acceptable? Talk about peer pressure and social conditioning on what is attractive and what isn't.

In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
