Is it wrong to screen for beauty?
That means: nobody who is "fat" or "ugly."
While I can't deny that such communities have a right to exist, it irks me that beauitful people are always categorized in the same way.
Beauty is diverse and cultural. Different regions in different time periods have valued differed types of beauty- individuals are attracted to different people. To dumb it down to 'only THESE people are beautiful' is flawed because, let's face it, we all have our own standards and opinions.
To put it into context- I don't find guys with muscles particularly attractive (contradictory to the website), and if these people are in such high demand, why do they need to subscribe to a dating website?
So, my question remains. Is it wrong to screen people based on beauty? And would you ever participate in a community like this one?

While people deserve the
While people deserve the right to pick the physical and emotional characteristics they want in the person they're dating, a website shouldn't categorize people and only accept the "beautfiul" people. Things like that make people have low self-esteem and worth. The website can do as they want, especially if they're charging people, but the people running it should think about how their actions will affect people.

No it's not!
You know beauty is meant to signify healthyness and everyone wants a healthy partner so they could live longer happier lives. Would it be so wrong if there was website that matched healthy partners together? Although you may not be attracted to mucsular guys, muscular guys tend to be healthier because they work out and eat properly to obtain those muscles. All the hard work in the gym not only contributes to looks but healthy system as well. In the US beauty is power and its better to accept that then to just complain about how wrong it is.

The trouble is that MOST people aren't so great looking. It doesn't mean we are unfit. I'd much rather be judges by the content of my character than the size of fixed nose, my six pack abs, or my hair extensions!

I would not participate-not
I would not participate-not that they'd take me. I am surprised that these so called 'beautiful people' even NEED such a site. I would think that they'd be snapped up immediately just by leaving the house to collect their mail. But I suppose that by joining such a site, the beauties will no longer have to deal with the rest of us and it makes it easier on them. LOL.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Great people come in all shapes and sizes. It's sad that these people think differently, but I suppose they are entitled to find their perfect mate as much as anyone.
