TORONTO - An online community is launching in Canada today for the exclusive use of attractive people, complete with a "strict ban on ugliness."
Prospective members of beautifulpeople.net submit a photo and profile in hopes of being deemed attractive enough to be a member by those who have already passed the subjective voting process.
Some people may not like the sounds of it, but the founder defends the BeautifulPeople Network as honest.
The site is already in 15 other countries, and Greg Hodge, the managing director, says Canada was chosen because "there are many gorgeous people in this country," though he adds "there are also many uglies."
Hodge says the website "separates the wheat from the chaff."
Robert Hintze, the site's founder, says its appeal is that good-looking people can network without "traipsing through numerous unattractive profiles."
