Fewer than one in eight British men (12 per cent) and just three in 20 women (15 per cent) who have applied to BeautifulPeople.com have been accepted as members.
Existing members of the website rate how attractive potential members are over a 48 hour provisional period, when applicants upload a recent photograph and a short personal profile.
They are rated by members of the opposite sex, who have four options to describe how attractive they think the hopeful is – ‘Yes definitely’, ‘Hmmm yes, OK’, ‘Hmmm no, not really’ and ‘NO definitely NOT’.
Swedish men have proved the most successful applicants, with two-thirds (65 per cent) of those putting themselves forward being accepted.
Norwegian women are considered the most beautiful with more than three-quarters (76 per cent) making the grade.
Since the website was opened to UK members 295,000 people have applied, with only 35,000 being approved.
The website was founded in 2002 in Denmark and since then it has spread to other countries – becoming available in the UK in April 2005.
The ‘elite dating site for beautiful people only’, went live across the globe on 26 October this year. Over the past two weeks, the site has rejected nearly 1.8 million people from 190 countries.
Yeah, I realize Mike Myers is Canadian. But Austin Powers is a British character, so he stays.

I am only 18 and i went out with a ‘tubby’ guy my age, i found him very attractive because he was funny, and he didnt care what he looked like. after him i was attracted to a guy who was skinny with curly hair and glasses, who was definatly no oil painting, and i liked him because he has a personality of gold. Beautiful people are boring in my eyes, and alot of the time this is because they want to stay beautiful, it becomes almost like an obsession. why be with a beautiful boring person that you cant have a proper conversation with when you could have someone who is intresting and real.
Lived in Britain for a few years, early this century. I’d say the average Brit woman is less attractive because they are generally overweight, have terrible teeth, smoke ‘roll your owns’ and drink to vomit. They curse with every breath, and think a night of fun is incomplete with out a visit to the tattoo parlor.
Oh, yeah. Full disclosure: I was there because I was married to one. I will say that what Brit women lack in looks they tend to make up for in bed. If they’re not passed out in a puddle of their own puke.
I remember reading an article (don’t remember where) that made the claim British people are BETTER looking because of their bad teeth. Why would anyone want to be just another pretty smile? Bad teeth give you individuality!
Have you ever heard an Englishman have an organism: “Oh, oh, terribly sorry”. (sorry, couldn’t resist)
“Yeah, I realize Mike Myers is Canadian. But Austin Powers is a British character, so he stays.”
Thanks SN, I laughed so hard when i read that. Pure Genius. LOL.
Thanks.
Not everyone looks like Prince Charles. Even so, he managed to produce two very attractive guys – Prince William and Harry.
But then there’s Mick Jagger
Dallas? Did I miss something somewhere? Is Prince Chuck Jagger’s daddy?
I knew it.
And, is it Harry that must never have a DNA test done?
the beatles were british and they were so sexy
so i don’t know what those fucking americans talking about
well everyone has their own oppinion .. like i know most americans think us brits are posh talking tea drinking snobs…or buck teathed chavs.. but thats just stereotyping us … imean .. i thought all americans where obease burger eating over dramatic weird talking faggots with bad attitudes and bad fashion sence … so you guys musnt be right about us otherwise that means that im right about americans… oh and by the way british women arnt all fat and ugly infact most of the british poulation are attractive … the only reason there are more people from america on this beautiful site is because america is huge compared to britain.
… thats all 
and because most americans are obsesed with cosmetic surgery and i dont think they belive in natural beauty
