According to Mashable.com, BeautifulPeople.com is a dating website that only allows attractive people to join based on the democratic vote of its members — gained its share of media attention after expelling 5,000 people after they packed on the holiday pounds — Now, the site is taking further steps in the fight against unattractiveness (at least unattractiveness as gauged by people who dig conventionality) by launching a fertility introduction service that allows both members and non-members to score the stuff that dream babies are made of.

After I got over being appalled, I found myself moving towards the realization that human beings have a tendency to associate with people who are most like themselves.  Would I join this site? No.  Would I encourage others to join the site? No.  Why not?  I feel there is something about self-identifying yourself as beautiful that lends itself to having insecurities, arrogance, maybe some shallow tendencies, interpersonal relationship issues, communication issues, incompleteness all combined with an inability to function in the world of diversity.  Now that I have gotten my judgments out -  I contemplate this — hey, maybe I should start marketing to Beautiful People as well to help reduce the divorce rate they may experience – we don't need any more evidence than Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, and if you do, you won't have to look very far.

So, why not have beautiful people band together?  Why not have an opportunity to 'alter' how your own child's appearance will be?  Why not?
