(CNN) — A dating site that markets itself as an elite community for beautiful people with a “strict ban on ugly people” has axed about 5,000 members for packing on the pounds during the holiday season.
The international site BeautifulPeople.com threw out members after they posted photos “revealing that they have let themselves go,” according to a company statement.
“As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld,” said Robert Hintze, founder of BeautifulPeople.com. “Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.”

And don’t think otherwise. Whether it’s the software deciding or human then decisions ultimately and subjectively comes from a person or group. Rich, poor, skinny, fat, stupid, smart, sexy, dirty…it’s all about the person deciding and the idiot that so desperately wants in no matter what
Should have a BS-o-meter on all articles or on none. I would vote BS on this. It’s a publicity stunt and they’re not actually turning away paying customers.
For me, being older and fatter and less handsome improved my social life.
What if you’re so over the top beautiful that everyone else on the site is threatened and votes against you anyway?
