LONDON - Britons are among the ugliest people in the world, according to a dating Web site that says it only allows "beautiful people" to join.
Fewer than one in eight British men and just three in 20 women who have applied to BeautifulPeople.com have been accepted, an e-mailed statement from the site showed.
Existing members of the "elite dating site" rate how attractive potential members are over a 48-hour period, after applicants upload a recent photo and personal profile.
Swedish men have proved the most successful, with 65 percent being accepted, while Norwegian women are considered the most beautiful with 76 percent accepted, the site said.
The way that BeautifulPeople.com accepts new members is simple. A potential member applies with a photo and a brief profile. Over 48 hours, existing members of the opposite sex vote whether or not to admit them, the site said.
Options are: "Yes definitely," "Hmm yes, O.K," "Hmm no, not really" and "No definitely not."
German applicants were slated for offering up unflattering photographs, which may have hindered their acceptance rates at 15 percent for men and 13 percent for women, the lowest rate in their category.
"German men and women aren't faring well, but they are submitting stern images, they need to soften up," Hodge said.
WTF? So in order for me to become a member they need to judge on my looks before making an acception? Are you serious? stuff like this really pisses me off.
That ain't bad thats good. Thats mean you don't have to deal with the uglies sending messages and ****.
Even if you don't know what their all about first? I think it's silly to not give someone the time of day just because of their appearance or how they look, but you don't even know anything about them.

If I find them ugly why on earth would I give them the time of day?
This is the way more people judge a person anyway, whether we like it or not. Atleast this site is being honest
Looks are important but they're not the only aspect you should look for in a person. They will fade in time. I bet most of the relationships spawned from this website don't last very long.
I hope there aren't any sites in the future that will discriminate against race or sexual orientation.
They already have eHarmony.com that didn't allow people based on a variety of reasons, nor did they offer anything to gays, lesbians, etc. They lost a lawsuit and now have a separate site, but there are plenty of sites that don't cater to people based on sexual orientation (unless they're straight).
