After watching Little Britain, I cannot say I'm shocked :D

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."

The site was founded in 2002 in Denmark and went live across the globe last month. Since then, the site has rejected nearly 1.8 million people from 190 countries, admitting just 360,000 new members.

"I would say Britain is stumbling because they don't spend as much time polishing up their appearance and they are letting themselves down on physical fitness," Beautiful People managing director Greg Hodge said. "Next to Brazilian and Scandinavian beauties, British people just aren't as toned or glamorous."

Only the male Russian and Polish applicants fared worse than British men, although Russian women had a 44 percent acceptance rate. Polish women did not appear in the table.

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.

oook

[fireshot91]

Or only the ugly Britons go onto that website, and try to sign up? :eek:

[Dagless]

I don't actually know anyone here who uses dating sites. All the people I know (attractive or otherwise) seem to just meet in the usual way. *shrugs*

[leekohler]

Umm...OK. They have some awesome porn stars. Porn stars with British accents is pretty hot. :)

[jessica.]

This thread is a bucket of fail.

Well- look who started it. ;)

[rdowns]

This thread is a bucket of fail.


I agree but would have used the term Full of Fail.

[skunk]

You'd have to be very ugly inside to apply to a site called BeautifulPeople.com.

[jessica.]

Oh yes, where was my head.
Full of Fail.

[stridemat]

This thread is a bucket of fail.

agreed. Its like saying all Americans are obese....:rolleyes:

[Queso]

In my experience truly good looking Brits don't feel the need to go on about their looks. They glide through life not making a huge deal about it whilst the rest of us gaze in awe. It's those that are bordering on mildly attractive that seem to be the most obsessed with their looks, always getting hair extensions done (and that's just the guys :D) and covering themselves in fake tan. Totally shallow.

It's the latter group of Brits that would apply for a website like this. Whether that goes for other nationalities too I wouldn't know, but if I'm right then I'm not surprised so many get turned down.

[t0mat0]

Maybe it's that the Norwegian folk know if they're up to the grade looks wise, and don't bother entering. Though I would from a stereotype imagine the Nordic folk are generally hotter across the board.

[Compile 'em all]

Ok, that's it. I am moving to Norway!

[leekohler]

Ok, that's it. I am moving to Norway!

Can I go with you? :)

[rdowns]

snip usual screed




How old were you when that pic was taken?

[Full of Win]

You'd have to be very ugly inside to apply to a site called BeautifulPeople.com.

Very profound.

[Queso]

On the contrary, someone like that has nothing inside at all.

[leekohler]

Damn! That was good. :)

[skunk]

On the contrary, someone like that has nothing inside at all.Just a bunch of Vacant Vikings, then? ;)

[remmy]

Damn lack of photoshop skills wat.

[nick9191]

That's not really fair. You get a quite a few facially challenged people but a lot of lookers as well. I'm at Uni, and there is just too much to choose from.

I'm going to sign up to see if I get accepted.

[Zombie Acorn]

British girls seem like they are more fun, I don't know if thats just a perception I get from watching BBC America or what.

[Jaffa Cake]

Now, hang on a moment – I'm English and I'm gorgeous. Case closed. :p

Thing is though, if all these Norwegians and whatnot are so lovely on the eye, how come they're resorting to dating sites to meet people rather than utilising their pleasant appearances in person?

It's probably just for the winter months. Gets a bit dark up there then. Bit harder to see each other.

man you Brits arent the best represented people :p

[Jaffa Cake]

It's probably just for the winter months. Gets a bit dark up there then. Bit harder to see each other.Fair point. Canoodling in such conditions would be rather dangerous too, those horned helmets could very easily take an eye out.

Danes = sensible winter daters

[Thomas Veil]

Good-looking British women do not need websites like BeautifulPeople.com.

They already appear on page 3 of The Sun.

Good point, the best of british right there.

Scotland on the other hand... oh we're mighty stunning.

[skunk]

Scotland on the other hand... oh we're mighty stunning.The quarter Scots in me agrees.

[anjinha]

The British seemed pretty good looking to me both times I went to London. Very nice people too. :)

Can I go back to London now? :p

[skunk]

Can I go back to London now? :pAny time, sweetie. :)

Pffft. Hot, big city girls from London, NYC, Tokyo, etc are all the same. They're never as pretty the next morning.

Now a pretty girl from the country who doesn't wear a lot of make-up is usually nice to look at the morning after. The only downside is the occasional lack of <ahem> grooming.

[instaxgirl]

Scotland on the other hand... oh we're mighty stunning.

My first thought on seeing this thread :D

[tkermit]

Has anyone looked at the bullet points that appear on that site's homepage ?! If I didn't know any better, I'd think the whole thing was a satire project.

No more filtering through unattractive people

Finally! What a relief.

[brad.c]

You'd have to be very ugly inside to apply to a site called BeautifulPeople.com.

Or start a thread like this.

3 of the 4 in this quartet are British. I'd put them up (and prefer) them to any Kardashian, Spears, Megan Fox, or any woman on the cover of Maxim. They have some really weird thing that the others don't, but the word escapes me... Ahh, yes.. TALENT.

BL.

[fun173]

the orbitz gum lady is hot

[Chip NoVaMac]

Too bad I was a bit under the weather during my brief stay in London. Found the "lads" across the Pond right nice. :)

[colourfastt]

I agree but would have used the term Full of Fail.

I wouldn't have used a verb as a noun.

[Jaffa Cake]

Scotland on the other hand... oh we're mighty stunning.But wait a moment, my tartan-clad friend. The text quoted in the OP doesn't actually mention English folk, but rather British. Which I think means that the Scots are skanky types like those of us south of the border.

Of course, the terms 'England' and 'Britain' aren't freely interchangable - as you'll know, Scotland is England's fourth largest county after Britain, Yorkshire and the Isle of Wight- but it's not surprising the OP got a bit mixed up, as many foreigners do.

[Ivan P]

Umm...OK. They have some awesome porn stars. Porn stars with British accents is pretty hot. :)

My partner's British and he's honestly the most attractive guy I've ever laid eyes on... or Australians are even worse in comparison... I'unno.

are you actually going to change the thread title, or is your complete ignorance and uneducated use of geography going right over your head?

you say english, then proceed to talk about british.....:rolleyes:

dont worry about 6 million Scots, 2 million welsh and 1 million northern irish.

ignorance is bliss

[alFR]

Not to mention the fact that the Russian and Polish men scored lower than the British and German women scored lower than British ones, so even on the basis of the small sample of vapid idiots applying to the dating site the title's factually wrong anyway.

[OllyW]

Isn't England part of London?

[dalvin200]

what the fook?

there are certainly some ugly people in this country, but there are also PLENTY of non ugly folks ;)

remember, beauty is only skin deep!! haha

[johnrs]

Isn't England part of London?

LOL

[Queso]

Isn't England part of London?
No you have that confused. London is a suburb of Parisfrance.

[edesignuk]

No you have that confused. London is a suburb of Parisfrance....which is a 10 minute walk from Berlin. Europe, it's like a postage stamp.

[Jaffa Cake]

Isn't England part of London?Of course – but Britain, Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Wight together form England, London is the whole of England plus Northern Ireland.

I know this to be true because that's what it says on the old sea charts of eminent explorer Sir Battenberg-Cake, my famous sea-faring great-grandfather. And he hardly ever got lost.

[Blue Velvet]

Europe, it's like a postage stamp.

Sticky when wet.


eminent explorer Sir Battenberg-Cake

Where was he quartered?

[Jaffa Cake]

Where was he quartered?He wasn't, although he was hung remarkably well.

In fact, he'd probably get bonus points on a dating site for that.

[Blue Velvet]

he was hung remarkably well.

Crumbs. Icing on the cake.

I like the English, all the Brits, really. More chilled than many might imagine.

[iBlue]

We're basing this off the applications for an ego-stroking site called beautifulpeople? LOLz. I won't even dignify this with a response. And I'm even an import!

ignorance (and trolling) is bliss

I fixed that last part for accuracy. Full of Hate loves to talk the most crap about things he doesn't understand at all. It's even evident in the avatar choice. The Joker is NOT a socialist in any way shape or form. But hey, what's a little BS if it gets a reaction, huh? :rolleyes:

[.Andy]

I'm going to be in the UK for a few months but most certainly won't help any!

p.s. Jaffa Cake and Blue Velvet in full flight posting is wonderful to read :).

[Blue Velvet]

I'm going to be in the UK for a few months


Really? I'd love to meet the both of you, say hello, maybe have a pint if you're in olde London town here amongst the ugly people, all those locked out of beautifulpeople.com.

I would wager that our club is bigger than theirs... besides, who here wants to belong to a site that counts members Lush, GlamorousGent and Aphrodisiac amongst its members?

[Peterkro]

"we may be ugly but we have the music"


*goes back to eating Vegemite sandwiches*

They sound suspiciously like they could all be noms de plumes of members here anyway :)!

A pint would be lovely BV. We'll be in london town around mid january if you're around :).

There are too many funny posts on this thread to highlight just one, but I'll do so anyway.

Had me laughing a lot!

[Blue Velvet]

A pint would be lovely BV.

And then any ugliness can be offset with beer goggles. You have PM.

[Mark-Mac-Attack]

I actually live in the town in England (Braintree, Essex) that apparently has the ugliest women in the country. That's a face palm full of fail!

My dear, that fact certainly helps helps England's case. ;)

[mscriv]

I wonder how they verify the pics? It just seems funny to think that anyone on a dating site doesn't at least ponder the possibility that the information and images they are being given are not always accurate representations of the actual product.

Well, considering most Americans think 2 million New Mexicans are Mexicans and the 3 million people living in Baja California are Americans, I think you're getting off fairly easy.

[Heilage]

Ok, that's it. I am moving to Norway!

Gotta love Norway. :)
