I do not believe Brits are among the ugliest people but this dating website thinks so.

LONDON (Reuters) – Britons are among the ugliest people in the world, according to a dating website that says it only allows "beautiful people" to join.

Fewer than one in eight British men and just three in 20 women who have applied to BeautifulPeople.com have been accepted, an emailed statement from the website showed.

Existing members of the "elite dating site" rate how attractive potential members are over a 48 hour period, after applicants upload a recent photo and personal profile.

Swedish men have proved the most successful, with 65 percent being accepted, while Norwegian women are considered the most beautiful with 76 percent accepted, the website said.

Clever concept gets free buzz on Yahoo.

Anybody besides me think people who use a site like that would be big douches that you wouldn't want to date anyway? Leave 'em to their own little Aryan world to happily fuck like minks and breed scores of beautiful, but vapid children.

I don't like any dating sites, period.

Funny you use the word "douche". Letter did a monologue on it last night. He, accurately, translated the French word to "shower". It suddenly doesn't make sense, does it?

Growing up in North Jersey, the kids called each other douchebags.

OTOH, South Jersey kids rarely used the word.

OOPS!! That should have read "Letterman". Sorry.

Sometimes the sound of a word and the way it can be delivered transcends its literal translation...I think douche certainly does. When you say some guy is a douche, everyone knows exactly what you mean by it.

I don't think anyone would lump you into the ugly group. Everyone can see you are a cute little monkey!
