1282: Reality Bites

[Medium Brumski]

I was always curious about the natural phenomenon of people dating within their own "league," I suppose it only makes since that it would be transferred to online dating. Are there pretty people only dating sites?

I think there are. I'm not sure if it's still up, but I remember hearing about one where you had to submit a picture and be voted on to the site by other "pretty people" before you could access it.

There are definitely pretty people online dating sites, and if you gain weight or become "unpretty" they kick you off. It's pretty hard core from what I understand. Check out BeautifulPeople. Their slogan is "Where beautiful relationships begin." I believe it was on a Colbert Report episode somewhat recently.

We also reasoned that the ugly dating site would probably have more people who weren't all vain and surface with nothing real to offer a potential relationship. Because I'll fuck a pretty person (far be if for me to turn down sex), but if they're stupid, we're going to be hi/bye friends in public.

This from the site itself...

The Ugly Bug Ball - dating for the aesthetically challenged

Half of UK daters aren’t pretty so instead of fishing in a small pool of prettiness and getting nowhere dive into an ocean of uglies and have more choice.

Ugly people are a better calibre of human - pretty people generally aren’t very nice and tend to be a bit shallow

Ugly people have had a tougher life and therefore tend to be more considerate and more loyal. A recent TUBB survey also proved that they try harder in bed.

Once with an ugly partner it is unlikely that anyone will try and take them from you meaning you can let yourself go completely once you’re together.

In these straightened times TUBB is cheaper as a) We don’t charge much as the pretty sites and b) Ugly people have lower expectations – for a first date A Family Bucket will usually do the trick.

That seems pretty...insulting, to pretty and ugly people.

That's hilarious. Sounds alot like the "people with MS are better people" shit. You have to really have your head in the sand to have not met a boat load of both pretty and ugly people who are enormous cuntwaffles.

People are coonts aren't they. Yeah - I couldn't resist taking a look and I left it feeling cold.

On a completely unrelated matter - I just took this piece out and polished it up for my site. Seemed appropriate to do so given that I'm hanging on a thread waiting for Keith's book to arrive in the post...

This is completely wrong. I spent four years in the UK and there were a ton of pretty girls, as long as you got them before 30. After 30 they have spent too much time at the bars and the teeth are fucked up and black, which you only notice when you try to avoid the drooping tits sitting on the beer gut.

Ah! The ugly people. I saw the picture before I listened to the show and I was trying to figure out why a mom and daughter would be posing so romantically and which one was the girl named Max.

LOL and this.

That's like those fat acceptance websites that talk about how everybody should be respected and treated equally, no matter their size and then they turn around and talk about how skinny women are evil.

But I think that those lines from the site have got to be tongue in cheek.
