I’m A BeautifulPeople.com Reject
If you want to knock your confidence level down a few notches, I suggest you sign up on the new website, BeautifulPeople. Last month, I learned of this new dating service for beautiful people and wrote an article about it. They are very strict on who they accept and you’d better be beautiful according to their standards or you’re booted. Nice. I needed to see what they thought was beautiful.
Then I found out. I’m not. Not even close. I got the rejection letter about three days after I posted the best picture I could find. I sent in a picture of me that looked most like me while I was applying for the position of “beautiful”. (gag)
So, I’m not beautiful but I was consoled by the jerks really astute people who run this elite site for beautiful people. They stated that due to strict voting rules (huh?) only one in five people actually gets accepted to the dating site.
Here’s the email I received from those douchers beautiful people … and please note, they didn’t even have to capitalize my first name. I suppose beautiful people don’t have to adhere to grammar rules.
Dear cheryl,
Unfortunately, your application to BeautifulPeople Network was not successful. The members of BeautifulPeople did not find your profile attractive enough.
Please note, only one in five applicants are currently accepted into BeautifulPeople.com.
BeautifulPeople welcomes you to apply again, perhaps with a better photo or a more interesting profile text.
A better photo or ”more interesting profile text”? I didn’t write anything at all, so obviously they didn’t like the white space I left on their site. Or was it my picture? What’s the issue with this picture?
So, I had no makeup on. I was too lazy to dry my hair. My forehead looked shiny. My hands look puffy. Shit, my nails look great. Seriously, I have no idea…but this isn’t a picture of a beauty and I know it. I didn’t need the jerk off who sent me that form letter to tell me that. I knew already: this, you stuck up clown, is ME.
What is beautiful, anyway?
Sounds corny, but beautiful is inside and it radiates to the outside. It’s a spirit. It’s a little extra padding on the hips after having children. It’s a little line between your eyes that’s getting deeper with age because you make funny faces at your kids all the time.
Beautiful is saying, “Sorry, I was just in a bad mood. I didn’t mean what I said.”
Beautiful is being almost 47 and no longer taking anyone’s shit. Period.
Beautiful is tolerating your son’s long hair and loud music because that’s so important to him.
Beautiful is having someone who dumped several years ago tell you that it would be great to go out for a drink (aka: he needs to get laid) and saying, “Use your hand, dude. No thanks on the drink.”
Beautiful is having the hair dresser tell me that she doesn’t see any gray hair under all of the hair dye … and not giving a flying crap that she’s lying.
Beautiful is screwing up and admitting to it, even if it makes you feel like a fool.
Beautiful is having your 11 year old son say you still look pretty with a knee brace that … isn’t pretty.
Beautiful is underweight, overweight, any old weight as long as there’s a good heart beneath it all.
It’s great that this group of discerning men started a company to judge what’s beautiful and what’s not. We’ve all based a lot of things on face value and I’ve done the same. However, with time there is more happiness is the little things and it should revolve around how flat your belly is or how much collagen you have in your lips.
So, I’ve been rejected from the Beautiful People club and I’m glad. I can’t keep up with that kind of pressure.
I'm sorry… was my comment inappropriate?
So you tried to get into club just because you were trying to learn about them or because you wanted to 'hang in the internet among the beautiful people'? And then you got rejected and they become jerks and douches… Well what can you expect from such a 'club'? Of course it could be devastating blow if one thinks to be beautiful and gets rejected… but after all is it worth the pressure and trouble of staying 'beautiful' in their standards to avoid getting banned from their beautiful club?
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I see beauty in my mom who's 78, my wife who's 53, my daughters who range from 8 to 29. Beauty is a feeling of the heart, more than a desire of the flesh. To be after the flesh is carnally minded. Unconditional love is the reward of a Spiritual mind, and carries with it an appreciation for all Human life. We should perhaps base our self worth on the fact that we all have different talents, and look for and accentuate the positive in others. That creates enthusiasm. So Cheryl, hold your head up high, you are of infinite worth. Hang in there, girl!
jealous much
hey, no-name…yes, I'm extremely jealous. I'm hurt beyond belief that I can't be a part of an elite bunch of douchers.
i think so. i applied two times with two different pictures. but got rejected two times!!!
Cheryl, you are a beautiful person, just looking at your eyes anyone can see that! They do not know how to judge for beautiful people at all!
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You are beautiful! Bet your children thinks that you're the most beautiful mom in the world. I love the fact that I age. I'm alive! I too don't give a damn what "they" think or say. Who says that they are able to sit in judgement of beauty? You have it right, I too believe that beauty comes in many various sizes and packaging and that true beauty is from within.
HUMMM .. SHALLOW IS A NICE WAY OF PUTTING THAT.. MAYBE THE PPL THAT RUN THE HORRIBLE SITE… ARE UGLY OR NON ATRACTIVE THEMSELFS… SO TO MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER THEY NEED TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE FEEL BAD ABOUT HOW THEY LOOK.. NO WONDER Y PEOPLE THESE DAYS WANT TO STARVE THEM SELFS FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S STATIFACTION I DONT THINK SO.. HAHA IM PLEASENTLY PLUMP AND I'M HAPPY WITH MY SELF…. ANYWAY WHAT EVER THEY SAY ISNT THE TRUTH YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT.!!!!
you are beautiful, but why do you hide your face behind your hand??, i think that was the point…
that's not the only pic I put up—I put one up without my hand in front…but I'm pretty sure they didn't like this one. lol….I wanted to see how shallow they were
You go, girl! What the heck is their problem? They should call the site hefty, middle-aged men and 23 year old hardbodies who are really into puppies.
Will you be watching Millionaire Matchmaker this season? That show slays me!
For the record, you are beautiful. If you didn't make the cut, who the heck would? Especially in the over 40 crowd. You look as good as a person can look at our age. Poop on them!
Cheryl your now part of an elite group "the rejects" …..I'm suspended I feel like I'm back at school caught smoking in the toilets
You're much more than just beautiful, Cheryl. Sock it to 'em, sister.
