Intelligence and looks are not mutually exclusive and being discriminating due to either isn't a bad thing.

And we can't overlook the quirk of the universe that allows wit, charm and cash to augment a guys chances much better than they would a girl for a much longer proportion of lifetime.

I never said looks and intelligence are mutually exclusive- but you're missing out on much intelligence if you exclude someone just based upon their looks. People become much more attractive in my eyes when they are smart, but also when they are humble about that intelligence.

It's not a "quirk of the universe" that allows that-it's sexist attitudes that value women only for their looks.
 
Humbleness throws personality into the mix, a trifecta of attraction.

Our initial judgements are based on looks all the time, one could argue that having that as a first tier and then placing wit and charm at the next stage makes the latter more important.
 
I'm not going to say that looks don't count at all, because that would be a lie. I do believe there has to be some physical attraction. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I can find myself very attracted physically to people that probably wouldn't be rated very highly on that site.

So I could go on FaceBook and download three pics of my hottest high school crush, register as him, and that would be telling the truth? If you're "hot enough" it means you're actually that hot?

:scratch:

Not sure about FaceBook - I was commenting on HotEnough.

For someone to fake a pic, get in and keep paying $10/month is highly unlikely - but possible. I suppose researchers would do that.

In the end, fake pic'ng it will only hurt you.

And vice versa.

I think the best looking woman looses all her attractiveness when you realize that her intelligence is way beneath sea level.

why is it shallow to look for dates there? What if the group only included Jewish people or some other group? Would that still be shallow? Everyone has certain things they look for in people and for these people it happens to be looks. For all the preaching that goes on about understanding, it seems like people here are pretty quick to label these people.

First, I rarely post in FYM, so don't be so quick to label me as someone who preaches about anything here. And, I never said it shouldn't be allowed, either.

And secondly, I don't see it as the same thing at all. Looking for someone with similar religious values, interests, etc. is far different from basing a potential relationship on how hot someone is. I see no common interest other then "wow, we both look hot".

It is shallow, plain and simple. There is no basis for it, other then looks. I can't imagine having a solid relationship based on that. But if that is what someone is looking for, far be it for me to stop them. I still say they will get what they deserve.

If you're actually hot, you don't need a bloody dating site to get a date.

What he said.

I don´t think it´s shallow. You´re not going to meet RANDOM people, you´re going to pick someone you like out of all the other "hot" peopl.

You´re just trimming the fat and choosing someone from a more exclusive pool. That´s all.

Cue the flaming.

Exactly.


These people could put looks first, but they could be looking for other things as well after the looks. Looks is just the first cut. It's hardly shallow.

Except for 2 things:

1) YOU are not doing the trimming; someone else is

2) Anyone can put a picture of anyone else, or even PhotoShop something and be whoever or whatever they want.

It's hardly making dating more "exclusive." You're opening yourself up to just about everyone and whatever personality they feel like inventing.
 
Not when you actually have to hookup; being a different person stops it there and then regardless of how nice a person you are at heart since the first impression is liar.
 
Didn't this show already have the last word on this?

I still rather date someone who can read rather than someone who can shave his eyebrows.

And, as an aside, I have friends who are drop dead sexy who wouldn't be hot enough for that site.


Why can't someone be "hot enough" and still be able to read? I'm sure there's at least one "hot enough" person on that site that is smart. You're not necessarily going to pick someone who is dumb.

Probably, but by registering there, he's indicating that he puts looks ahead of brains. I'm not interested in someone like that.

Yeah, that's pretty much it in a nutshell. And how many guys convince themselves that a woman is oh so smart and everything else just because they think she's hot? How many ignore her bad traits just because of that? Yeah, I've seen that plenty of times in guys I know. Of course there are women who will do that too.
 
Me on hot or not firstly : http://www.hotornot.com/r/?eid=ALAZHRO&key=GAC

The people that are let into this club should logically have the same proportion of brains/personality that a less attractive group of people have. I'm definately getting the impression that people here are stereotyping good looking people as having dull personalities or make intellectually stimulating partners. I know lost of hot looking people with these qualities!
And if you agree with me where there would be similar proportions of personality/brains amongst the good looking people and the less attractive people, what's wrong with being able to choose all 3, ie. looks, personality and brains.
I totally endorse this site.

I bet there are a lot of wonderful people at that site who are smart, funny, honest, and all kinds of other great things. However, allow me to quote martha, since I totally agree with her:

People at that site are using a level of hotness as the starting point for a relationship. There are a lot of great people they could be missing out on just because a group of hotties determine that their looks aren't on par with theirs.
