BeautifulPeople website kick out fatties
- Thread starter Jaroslaw
- Start date
I don't know this is pretty horrible in my opinion. I mean people who go online dating probably has self-esteem issues or at the very least unable to find someone immediately surrounding them. So for a site to tell you, "Well hey, you're fugly, get out." Would cause an even more severe blow to someone. That's just my opinion of it at least.
Yeah but to get on the site people have to submit photos that will be judged by current members so only the most elite and beautiful people are allowed on.
Do you think someone with self esteem issues would sign up for a site that only the top 1% of people in terms of appearance could enter? They would have to rate themselves there already in order to apply.
Yeah, I saw a programme that featured the site on TV, if you want to sign up you need to send in photo's that then get judged by existing members and if your score is high enough you're allowed to enter. Is for the super elite of attractiveness like models and stuff. Anyone on that place has to be so vain in the first place I don't have any pity for them.
Although I have heard of people entering photos just to see if they get allowed on

I should post a pic of my GFs brothers fiancee. She's shaped like a barrel and has a bad eye (can't see out of it) and looks like a muppet when she smiles cause of the fat lines on the side of her mouth down to her chin.

People who appreciate good looks can't be vain or shallow because we are all genetically programmed to want to have the healthiest mates possible.
Fit and beautiful instinctively means healthy.
You can't make judgments until you meet all the members. Besides they knew what they we're signing up for. If they got kicked out, it's their fault. Getting kicked out doesn't mean they are vain or shallow, even their participation doesn't mean anything...
Nothing wrong with this site, IMO.
Typhon made it through the sign-up process, got accepted and met every member and came to this conclusion, unless of course, he is making empty judgments on thousands of people...in any case, please teach me how you did either of these. :yelrotflmao:
Once I get in shape, I am going to try and sign-up, just for the hell of it...ought to be interesting.

Your first line might seem like a one line punch, but it's not and if biology steers us towards the kind of women society finds beautiful today is a big debate. For example, the view of what kind of women were wanted has changed throughout history (faster than our genes change with evolution). I'm not saying it's all society and environment, but it's probably not all genes.
To get around the change thing you could argue that we are programmed to want the women who will give us the most status, though.

I disagree completely. My GF is not built like a model. My GF has curves, had cancer, twice, and has a thryoid problem that she will be taking medicine for the rest of her life to keep in check and it causes her hair to be thin and sometimes fall out.
According to your statement, I would have left her the day I found out, yet I am still with her, almost 4 and a half years later and despite her unexplained bouts with cancer, I wish to have children with her. I am not scared that our children will get cancer, I am not looking at her saying, "She's not a size zero so she's not perfect." To me, she is the most beautiful person in the world. Only vain people care about looks and they have a **** relationship because of it. There is more then sexual attraction in my relationship. I have a woman that I can talk to and I have a lot in common with and to me, that is far more important than a piece of "arm candy."
If my post seems to be a bit rude, I apologize. I have strong feelings on this. I am not the most attractive guy in the world, nor do I have a whole lot to offer her *now* but my GF loves my personality and cares about me anyway.
I was turned down by a "beautiful" woman before and 5 years later she's stuck with an ex-jock who is now fat and working at a gas station. Go figure.

You guys don't get it.
First and foremost, looks are in the mind. What is good looking to me does not necessarily mean good looking for you. Agreed?
Second, who in their right mind, cannot appreciate or care about something that they perceive to look or be good? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE for you to not like something or someone you like or that you perceive as good looking (If you think something or someone looks good, you like it/them, you can't even possibly deny this.). You have proven this yourself, your GF looks good to you, you think she is beautiful, she can live through anything, you love her etc.
If something looks "good" to you, then you appreciate and care for it - How can you beleive otherwise if you think it looks good to you? You can't. Otherwise it would not look "good" to you.
Following this logic, you can't say people who appreciate good looks in others are vain, it just isn't possible. They see them as good looking, therefore they appreciate them regardless of what they say, do or think.
You don't need someone to do something special to love them, all you have to do is beleive they are beautiful and, regardless of what they do, say or think - you will love them.
Prove me wrong: If you beleive someone to be beautiful, you will love them regardless of what they do, say or think. I'd like to state, beforehand, that if you attempt to disprove this that you will fail horribly
Now I will confuse you some more and imply, once more, that DNA, controls your entire biology and your biology controls everything you do. Karky, if you feel like debating, intelligently, please do Because, I don't beleive for one minute that what you are saying is true.

err.. I've disliked a lot of girls I thought were pretty.
If you think biology decides everything, you should really googe "nature vs nurture"
the environment is pretty critical in everything, so are genes.
I don't think the point here is saying that people who think their girlfriends are attractive are vain, but rather people who only go after girls that society deems as attractive are vain. IE people who only go for girls who others think are pretty in order to get acceptance and social status.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a big proponent of good looks, it's, extremely important to me. And I'm sure there are people on this site who are cool, funny, smart, etc.
I didn't get into this to argue that people on that site are shallow, I got in it to call you out on a lousy argument. DNA doesn't decide everything.
I think this paper talks a bit about it:
I didn't bother to read the entire thing, but knowing who Gottlieb is and what probabilistic epigenesis is, it should be interesting. Long story short, the environment can affect our genetic activity. (this is really just one part of nature vs nurture, as memory and previous experiences will "colour" how we sense the world, etc)
If you want to take this further, I suggest we make a new thread as it doesn't really fit into the beautiful people thing..

But us fugly people call this great injustice on the scale of like Superman doing that spin around the globe.
You can't call me out on something that doesn't exist. I never said DNA is capable of decision making.
Unless you have misread, there is no reasoning in switching the word control with decide since they are completely different words with different meanings.
Saying my arguments are lousy and coming out with such a statement, LOL!
Not very effective in debate!

ok then, control. Doesn't really matter. The DNA doesn't really control all we do since the environment can affect genetic activity (as well as the other argument I mentioned in my previous post). My argument still stands even though I changed the word. Do you have a retort or not? No? Never heard of Gottlieb before? Didn't think so.
The use of the word control or decide doesn't really matter. Biology doesn't control everything we do. And, by the way, everything we do would include the decisions we make. Unless you are going to argue that we don't have free will, which is of course a valid argument, but even that one can't escape environment.
Are you going to answer to my arguments or not?

*NOTE* I know this was sort of aimed at Karky, but I want to add my .02¢
No. Not at all. I loved a girl with all my heart, she was stunningly beautiful and we had a great relationship. She told me that I was lazy and that she was going to find someone else and I kicked her ass to the curb. Even my GF now will say things and I will tell her how rude they are. Looks are NOT everything.
People who are so obsessed with their looks they spend 1/10th of their day on the scale, 2/5ths of their day running on a treadmill to hold on to their size 00 waist and the rest of the day eating a single piece of lettuce are vain.
I want to look good and I want to lose weight, but god damn does my cooking and Wendy's double baconator taste GREAT!
Again, I disagree. The first six months of my relationship with my GF I didn't do a lot for her and she didn't like that. It made her feel like I didn't care about her and, in return, she did it back to me and I felt like she didn't care about me either. It was an incessant cycle of feeling like the other didn't care and doing less for them.
Beauty is indeeed in the eye of the beholder, but it is far from everything when looking for a *meaningful* relationship. There is a lot of things my GF says or does that I don't like, but I put up with because I love her. I don't love her for how beautiful she is. I love her because we connect and have a great relationship and enjoy each others company. Now, if I was with "just any" beautiful woman, no matter how hot she may be, and she said half the things my GF says to me, I would kick her sorry ass to the curb.
Honestly, if you base your relationships SOLELY on looks, you are going to fail. You have to be compatable, you have to have common interests and at the same time things you don't fully agree on (cause you have to disagree now and then or you hold it all in until one day it boils over and becomes a MONSTER of a fight).
If this is true, my body is telling me different from what you claim to be the truth for all humans. I may be wrong, but the last time I checked, the brain controls everything you do. :cool3:
If what you are saying is true, I would not have left that girl many years ago, based only on the fact that she was hot and would not have ever met my GF, which, I would have run from based on the fact that she had cancer and now has a thryoid problem that stems from her treatment.
Not to be rude, but I don't believe a single word of it. If this is true for you, cool, but it's not a fact. Not everyone in the world feels this way.

Well to put my .02 cents into the debate, I'd say looks is everything in a relationship. A guy doesn't have to look like Brad Pitt, and a girl doesn't have to look like Cindy Crawford, but by golly, you'd have to look decent enough. You know how they say the uglier you are, the later in life you actually get in relationships? That's entirely true, and I'm a living example of it. The fact is, at my age, girls and guys want attractive people, and it isn't until much later on that values are placed higher than looks. The fact is, later on in life, people get together not by looks, but by status, and the younger you are, the more likely you're going to value looks higher than status. It's probably to do with something embedded into our brains where at a younger age you're able to reproduce and you'd want to best mate possible, but the older you are, and after you are of birth age, you tend to look past that.
Just take this conversation. Everyone said, "I saw her, and she was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." That is how everyone starts, and then compatibility beyond that such as compatibility and so on are looked into. Real life isn't like a movie where you suddenly discover someone else who likes that weird thing you do, and suddenly you're madly in love even though you look like a 300+ pounds garbage man with a pair of shoes made from 1940.
The older you are, the more you look into status. Like you might be 40 and she might be 38, and you're both doctors and suddenly something sparks and you start liking each other because you see that you're both highly educated and probably would be compatible with each other, and looks don't really matter anymore. Take my grandparents, they're both in their 80s, and they divorced once, and after the new wife died, they both got back together not because of looks, but because they were together before, they know each other, and they're both old and probably needs each other presence more so than love.
