This is not your usual dating website. It is a portal only for beauties and hunks.

This is not your usual dating website. It is a portal only for beauties and hunks. Welcome to beautifulpeople.com, an online dating service launched in Denmark several years ago. Seeing the stupendous response (the site boasts of 180,000 members), the portal’s  founders have now decided to run it as a unified global website. Getting into the site is not easy. Applicants have to send in their photos, which are then rated by users as ‘Yes, definitely’, ‘Hmm, yes, ok’, ‘No definitely not’. According to Greg Hodge, the site’s managing director, people are fed up of wasting time and money meeting unattractive people on the Net.
