So since alopecia has a lot to do with self-image and struggling with what others think about you...I'm going write about another article about looks. Lemondrop.com posted an article about the dating site beautifulpeople.com. If you haven't heard of the dating site it is exactly as the name implies...beautiful people allowed only. In fact, they follow this philosophy so strictly that if you have gained any weight over the holidays you get kicked off the site. This is if you are accepted in the first place by members voting if you are hot enough to join. If you go to the site, it shows two happy, attractive people looking seductively at you. I did not want to join, but check out the members who deem themselves attractive enough to join beautifulpeople.com and see if the site caters only to the Vegas type...you know the tacky button-ups with gel hair and big muscles or the tan, fake boob platinum blondes. Now, by all means if this is your type and you think you are hot because hotornot.com deemed you a 9.4, then join the exclusive site. What I found funny was that if you wanted to even browse the members as a guest, the question above the link is "Too ugly to join?". Then instead of taking you to a search page, it politely tells you in many languages that the site is so exclusive that is has received high volume of media attention and you still are not good enough to even look at the members. I'm not angry at the site as it does lay out its superficiality upfront, but it is humorous. Let me know what you think!
