“A man named Jason Pellegrino and his business partner created HotEnough.org, stating that online dating just doesn’t have enough hot-looking people and that their site will bring a lot more attractive people to the dating scene. Pellegrino himself has been rated as a 8.2 on a 10 point scale.”

so APPARENTLY this guy is considered twice as hot as me by some? Well I reiterate my previous thought… something fishy in the air indeed

The above article also quotes that current members vote on who is allowed entrance. So…thinking *that* through a bit, with basic common sense will predict the possibility of a kind of trend in people who look a certain way, perhaps with a predilection for people look similar to them, choosing those people, and that resulting larger pool of people continuing to choose similar-looking people… I am not talking ethnic origin here necessarily but I find people do tend to gravitate towards people who look similar in social relationships… tall people with other tall people, a few blondes together. I rarely notice an exotic looking Asian chick with a midwestern looking blue eyes blond friend. Just a thought.

“Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” is a commonly used phrase, but IMO if the cover doesn’t turn your head you probably would have never picked up the book to begin with.

It all boils down to genes and the ability to provide. That’s why money and good looks are generally the criteria for getting together and often the catalyst for breaking up.

Although, I do agree that the “wait til the CEO judges you” thing is pretty lame. They should have done that differently.

Couple things…

Pros:

1) People assume the better looking someone is the dumber they are. Most of the people on this site have an extensive education background.
2) Might seem obvious but every single person is attractive enough to pursue something further. I will be the first to admit 90% of my decision to go on a date with a girl is based on looks…so this is a plus.
3) While it seems they have copied other sites for the basic info outline, I think it is a very good template to judge a potential date.
4) Rates are very good.

Cons:

1) The whole CEO judging thing needs to be fixed, and in due time they will need to with more people trying to become members.
2) The number of members as of right now is pathetic, due to its early stages. I currently live in Indiana, and am moving to Tampa Bay and there is only 1 girl within 100 miles of both of my locations combined.
3) The whole site is fairly hard to navigate.

Overall the site is alright right now, but in due time I think this site will thrive.

Those other guys said it was fantastic (for reasons both financial and superficial).

Who’s right?

Well, there are stereotypes for everyone, including hot people. No, I’m not even going to bother going around the bush and saying ‘attractive’ people, this site is obviously only for ‘hot’ people. And not really for people, for men.

Think about it. Women take a million things into consideration before dating a guy; his income, education, family, previous relationships, etc.. If women went on looks alone (as most men do), she’s considered shallow and close-minded.

Men go by looks and are totally supported by society. ON THE OTHER HAND, however, it really is a natural born thing for men to only date a woman if he thinks she’s…’worthy’.

But you know, it just gets harder and harder for me to vouch for HotEnough when I look at the pictures of their singles…Either all the women look like they’re either “OMG, OOYL!!1!” (”Omigod, out of your league!”) or, frankly, quite appalling, and the men all seem to be of Latino descent…

(Seriously, page through the ‘men’ part of the latest hotties. They are all CLONES.)

Then again, part of me really wants to support this.

If you aren’t happy unless you’re with someone who’s beautiful (ahem, ‘hot’), then there should be a site for you, just like there’s a site for Christians, and homosexuals, and black people, and Asian people, and Jewish people, and fetishists, etc..

It’s almost patriotic to even HAVE this site, because it really shows that US citizens have the freedom to do this sort of thing (even at the critisism of others).

And then I remember that it wasn’t really started with that dreamy intent. HotEnough was started by a fairly average guy who felt like he could make a good buck off of this idea, even though he wasn’t the first one to think it up.

Check out this site:

Although it was started in Europe and therefore not as critisized as US born HotEnough, Beautifulpeople Network was first.

There are a million pros and cons to HotEnough and .com’s similar to it, but really, it all boils down to this:

“If you people are SO f*ck*ng hot, then get offline.”
