When you’re glancing around most online dating directory listings I’m guaranteeing this is something a site wouldn’t be advertising.
Here’s a dating site that doesn’t mess around. Talk about keeping tabs on your members.
Danish online dating website BeautifulPeople.com told news sources that they recently got rid of 5,000 of their members because they no longer met the sites beauty standards. What changed? The members had posted recent pictures of themselves on the site and apparently it was evident in those photos that the members had “let themselves go.” I’m not sure if that’s something the site mentioned up front in their online dating directory submissions.
These members were told they would be able to reapply for membership to the site, but they need to get themselves back into shape before they would be reconsidered.
Sound bizarre? Read a little further. Apparently, other members of the site were the ones who called for this action. They felt the members who had let themselves go were degrading the value of their membership and would cut down on the pull their site had in other online dating directory listings.
The site, which is active in 16 countries, is unique in that prospective members must go through a 48 hour voting process before they are approved. Their profile is judged by members of the opposite sex, who decide if the prospective member is “beautiful enough” to be accepted to the site.
The website claims it was founded on “one very simple principle of human nature – the fact that people want to be with someone they are attracted to. It may not be politically correct to say so * but it is honest.”

It just goes to show that what’s listed in most online dating directory listings doesn’t give you the full story on each site. I don’t know about the rest of you, but this isn’t the kind of site I’m thinking would accept me. Talk about pressure. 
I sincerely loved viewing your post. Tons of the blogs and forums you find now are stocked with poor quality stuff, but you appear to know exactly what you’re writing about. I’m gonna bookmark this site, and will most likely be coming back often. Keep bringing up-to-date!
