Reviews and Complaints

So if you are not super beautiful like a top model then this site is not for you! I joined www.beautifulpeople.com and uploaded my best picture and got only 40% from the voters! Then I uploaded another picture and the same thing happened. So these people decided that I wasn't good enough to be a part of their world. Very sad. Then I decided to look at their members. All the ladies looked the same, all that fake hair, tons of make up, short dresses and etc. Guys were very unattractive. Just a bunch of ugly looking people with big money. Ridiculous.

What a horrible concept. Beauty is only skin deep, right? Not according to this website. I did an experiment. I submitted a photo that literally stacks of people said was amazing and, within 3 minutes was inundated with 'absolutely nots'. How to kill someone's self esteem in one fell swoop. Happy to get away from that bunch of narcissists. As the song goes..."forget the haters, cause somebody loves ya"!

I am writing to complain about Beautiful People.com

I was abused on email by a male member called Steve Jabba and he then in turn made a complaint about me because I had no interest in getting to know him as he had such a misogynist profile that did nothing but abuse women and as he was such an arrogant person I told him I wasn't interested, he then started emailing me back with abuse so we argued and then because of his shattered male ego he reported me and BP removed me from the site without even contacting me. This was 11 days ago. I contacted BP to complain about him and spoke to someone called Mia, who took about a day to even respond a pre composed email, I've been emailing consistently for 10 days and nobody responds, email trail below. I rang the press and pr department who apparantly had no number for anyone else at BP, I'm now calling the head office in Denmark and have been on hold for about 15 mins, I will contact trading services and call HQ in NY if this isn's resolved ASAP today

It's [protected]@yahoo.co.uk

To be honest, I would rather receive a refund and not use your site anymore, I'm really annoyed about this whole situation that you just remove my profile without even contacting me and now I've had a week that I haven't been able to use your site and have had to send numerous emails, really not impressed by this

At first I didn't understand the appeal of beautifulpeople.com. Then I went on and used numerous pictures of very attractive women from other dating sites and posted them there and made fake profiles and got accepted with all. What I found out is amazing. For one, the main reason people go on beautifulpeople has nothing to do with looks but everything to do ego. They are stoking their own. The majority of the members are so insecure and unconfident about themselves it's amazing. You have people from all walks of life and professions and many of them are what they say they are. One was a surgeon, who provided pictures of himself in the operating room - a very handsome man. But he was so insecure about his sexuality and so limited in his social skills that I found it hard to even have a normal conversation with him. Another guy, also very handsome, sent a lot of benign messages to me but after a while he started trying to pump me for information on what I thought about his looks as if that was more important than character. Even the one guy who I though was a halfway decent character started sending me messages indicating that he wanted me to talk dirty to him. Similiar incidents like this happened over and over and over again with other guys.

And forget about the women. The majority are so low class they're slightly a step up from porn star material - and that's only slightly. There are a lot more women with class on sites like zoosk and match than on beautifulpeople. At least they are real and down to earth. The majority of women on beautiful people, no matter their age, are embarrasingly crass. Seeing a 60 year old women who is trying to be something she is not - half naked in an attempt to be sexy is soooo not sexy. It's funny and embarassing. Almost all the women, no matter their age, with the exception of maybe 2, had pictures in various states of undress. There was not one girl who had that healthy girl next door look. All were trying to be something they were not and the majority had professionally touched up pictures to boot. That goes for a lot of the men too. Overall, that's how I would describe beautifulpeople. The biggest flaw of beautifulpeople however is that unless you live in an urban area you would be hard pressed to meet anyone in your area. But after what I have found out about the shallow superficial members, why would you want to? .

I love how much people hate and complain about the website for not being accepted into the "community." I'm sure you'd have no problem with the website if you had been accepted. Anyway, I'm here to complain about the complainers. What were you doing applying to the website in the first place? You were probably looking for an attractive person to chat up. Curious as to whether you are considered beautiful? I don't know what your reason for even going to the website may have been, but for me it was curiosity that got the best of me. I'm a black-haired, brown, almond-eyed Mexican American, and I easily got "in". I have been told my whole life I was very beautiful, but that never stopped me from knowing what was really important. I graduated from high school my class Valedictorian, got a full paid scholarship to my undergraduate university and the best medical school in Texas, and then when I changed my mind about the direction I wanted my life to go in, I pursed graduate school and am now working on a PhD in the Biology of Aging. I guess not all of us are empty, fake, air-headed shells of vanity and narcissism. :)

I have always been somewhat of a head turner in my university. When I walk in a room, both guys and girls stare, point and whisper (at the expense of my comfort). Yet when I uploaded one of my photos as an experiment, I got voted out within a minute with a lot of "absolutely not"s.

I don't really get this website. I browsed through a few profile with extremely average looking people. Does beautifulpeople.com have some kinda of out-of-this-world standards or something?

Website packed with beautiful transgenders, fake profiles, gay men impersonating women. I received spams from some profiles. It is pricey for the service. Website is in fact totally dead since they imposed high rates. No women ever pay for a subscription and it is logical. Now the number of female profiles dropped.

I deleted my profile after only being in the probationary period for around 3 hours. I had had a few good votes but had just slipped into the out section. I think the thing that bothered me the most about the website was the spelling mistakes and the poor grammar. There is a most definate type of "beautiful person" on this which is so not my type. I didn't see one person I wanted to message. Not enough scruffy beardy types for my liking! Beautiful People was just another classic example of how beauty is subjective. I mean who really fancies these absolute fannys anyways? :P

I only heard of this site after hearing an interview where a person involved in running this site basically advised applicants to post professional or airbrushed photos. I found this strange that you were supposedly voting on beauty through images that in reality do not exist. Having looked at some of the photos on this site the amount of them that were so obviously airbrushed was amazing that one would ask the question if these people were so confident in their own appearance why bother altering their image. In real life you cannot change the lighting to show yourself in the best light nor can you airbrush the features that you want to alter or change. I decided to submit an altered webcam photo with no makeup applied except lipgloss and some concealer as expected I was deemed ugly but i did take some small comfort from the rejection that 36 members voted positively. Was i hurt by those who voted negatively of course it has an impact but when i thought about it, I am probably more confidant and successful than they are so no it did not affect me at all. I wish the media would stop giving the founders of this website airtime to spread their vile unrealistic message and to stop printing their own press release like when they said they had removed members who had put on some weight, as a person involved in business this was so obvious a pr stunt but unfortunately it has worked in their favor.

In essence I have no problem with the concept of this site if people want to join so be it but I do have a problem on judgment being passed by those who alter their photos.

In reality I think most people who be far more interested in the likes of Bill Gates as opposed to some of these enhanced beautiful people.

Be aware of this website. Their voting process is a pure scam! Do not give them your credit card details. They will charge you £1.29 and after you get thru the voting process will steal another £30.99. This charge is not clearly stated in their terms and conditions or during the payment process. BE AWARE!

I heard about the site and applied, I was accepted. So I'm not sour over not getting in. But I do feel like the site could have some better qualities. The interface isn't very "beautiful" and the site always runs slow. It's hard to connect with other members in comparison to the ease of connection you get with a site like facebook. When I want to invite people to an event, it's much harder then it would be on facebook. All in all, beautifulpeople.com has a cold feeling to it and I would prefer a regular dating site/networking site over it any day.
