I have seen a few ads, alerts, and articles lately about special online dating websites that are only for ‘beautiful people’. To join, other members must rate your photos high or you get the boot.

It seems to me that such a setup would encourage people to post fake, outdated, or doctored photos. Another suspicion is that those using such sites would tend to be insecure, egomaniacal, vain, and shallow.  For those who are in the online dating trenches seeking real love and acceptance, regardless of their own looks or the looks of others, such a site would seem to be counterproductive. 

But, perhaps I am misjudging the purpose, function, and membership of such sites. I have never had an interest in joining one, so I cannot speak from experience – I can only surmise based upon what I have read of the promotional materials and site home pages. 

This brings us to today’s question: If you have ever been a member or are currently a member of a ‘for beautiful people only’ online dating site, what do YOU see as the pros and cons of the site?
