The dating site "Beautiful People," where members can "guarantee their dates will always be beautiful" has recently expelled thousands of members for gaining too much weight during the holidays, explaining that "letting fatties roam the site" is against the company's business model.

Even when taking into account this was no more than a sleazy publicity stunt, which of course worked beautifully, the very concept of sites that help members surround themselves with "good looking people" and weed out "unattractive" people from their life is fascinating.

The obvious criticism is that these are shallow people who focus on the wrong thing - on short-term physical beauty instead of on the person as a whole. But I think it's more than that.

They probably deserve what they get. It's just sad that people are willing to limit their options in advance in terms of who they will have a relationship with.

That is SO awful...beauty is, as the old saying goes, only skin deep after all. Well, let all the shallow, vain people "hang out" there. They don't know what they're missing but if they all stick together, they probably won't care!
