The site is also offering advice from “beauty mentors” on how to get back up to the standard.“Letting unattractive people populate the site would compromise the very concept for which Beautiful was founded,” Mr Hodge said.“If their looks aren't up to our members’ exacting standards and they do not secure a majority of positive votes, then their profiles are immediately removed.”Anyone who is found to be failing to maintain their looks is put back through the rating system, where members of the opposite sex only can select options including "yes, definitely", "hmm yes, ok", "no, not really" and "no, definitely not" based on photographs and a brief profile.

Most of the users removed from the site were from the US but more than 550 from the UK also got the chop.

Here are some pros and cons on finding love both online and offline.

Online Dating Pro: Over 40 million singles in the U. Con: It's a crowded digital marketplace and can be an exhausting experience. Whether it's on Social media, Facebook, Twitter, a mobile app, or traditional online dating site, there are a lot of success stories.

Being able to grow and maintain your relationship offline is critical as you go through the different phases of a relationship.

As one who believes in casting a wide net, I tell singles that you really need to do both. In reality, online dating, if done correctly, is just a method or service that will get you out there in the real world to meet someone offline and meet more people.

It will hurt your ego if the voters decide that you are not pretty or handsome enough.

This can be very hurtful and kill your self esteem. Anyway, you can find good looking singles on any other dating site.

Is online dating versus meeting someone offline best to find the perfect date or someone to spend the rest of your life with? As each person's relationship goals may differ from their best friends or neighbors, know that from hook-ups to marriage proposals, there's a site and way for everyone.

While experts might not agree on this topic, even offline Matchmakers are incorporating online dating and social media into their business models. Whether creating an Internet dating profile leads you to marriage or not, finding love online needs to be part of your dating regime, just like finding a job online from a message board or Linkedin can help you find your dream job.

They offered me a 3 day trial for a premium membership, watch out when u accept this!!! When u stop the transactions it stops only 3 month later! If you are voted in or out, guess it is just luck depending who is online during that 48 hours of voting. I found better looking people on regular dating sites.

This is a real scam, for over 10 months dey took 20/month of the visa card!!! I just signed up, it takes 2 days until people vote your picture and decide if they let you in. I have joined Beautifulpeople and uploaded my best pics.
