Yea...they do....the owners or whatever...the guys who came up with that site are total douche bags. Especially the "hotter one" of the two....complete ass wipe. The "uglier one" seems to be kinda nicer but can also be a**** And I spare no feelings when I describe them based on their physical attributes or lack thereof....b/c they obviously did not spare anyone else's feelings when they came up with their site.
Ultimately, they are trying to make money and are doing a good job of it! I doubt they really care about the moral aspect of their site....it's all dollar signs to them!
You can catch them on slice tv and form your own conclusion on them. Or you can watch them online....here:

You guys can judge for yourselves what you think of them based on their tv show.
They know what they are doing. They are making money off of being contraversial. Although they are huge douches, their ultimate goal is to make money. Hate it or love it, they're still making money...and lots of it. | |

Posted: 11/4/2008 11:27:59 AM | I am actually quite amused by the response that BP gets from people..
Like the comment that people who have joined the site are so desperate to affirm their beauty that they need to pay to be on there. haha. I myself have never paid anything to be a member on BP, and was never asked to pay anything. .?? *shrugs* But in all honesty, had I been asked to pay I wouldnt have because, in my opinion, the site really doesnt offer anything that I couldnt find here on pof (as ive said in a previous post, there are just as attractive people on both..in fact I met my boyfriend here on POF, not BP)
I did not join BP because I have low self-esteem and needed to have my looks validated..haha..I find that comment really funny actually. I dont think that I am a super model by any means, but I also have enough self-esteem to know that I am beautiful (inside and out) without a site having to tell me so. If you look at the logic behind that statement, you can see why I laugh...people post their pictures because they think that they possibly have what it takes to be on there, not because they dont and hope that their fears will be disproven. Am I wrong? Its like those people who couldnt carry a note in their back pocket who go on Idol. We listen to them and think "OMG who has lied to you?!!"..and yet, they believe they have what it takes. They dont go on the show because they think they are crappy and want the judges to disprove that low self opinion. Anyway..
I have to agree with Rita in her post above that it is quite interesting how JB says she doesnt agree with the site and its principles..if that were true, and the concept really didnt sit well, then why not just click somewhere else..instead of signing up for not only one but TWO of the country's sites..lol. Funny! Thats like someone expressing that we all shouldnt own cars because of the huge carbon footprint it creates..so they proclaim to not own a car and b*tch about the thoughtlessness of those who do while they ride the bus to work every day...yet, when they need to go on vacation..they rent an SUV to haul their boat. When the ego boost fits..then drive it? Come now. Be honest, because your actions are speaking differently from your words.
I joined the site out of curiousity myself as well..and although the idea of judging other's looks didnt sit well with me, I chose to join anyway as I thought, why not expand my dating selection pool. I just chose not to be a part of the rating system after I was accepted. I am however, not going to join and then bash the system I chose to partake in.
It also made makes me laugh how people automatically come up with some comment associating beauty to lack of intelligence or depth in an individual. Do people honestly, truly believe that?? Really? Come on..you are telling me that everyone you know who is deemed 'beautiful' by others is unintelligent? Or they are shallow and mean? Or by reverse..that all the people who you know who arent considered attractive by others (even when you find them appealing yourself) is Phd material? Or the nicest people you have ever met? Phhhtt. In my humble opinion, part of being intelligent is being aware of the words we choose to use..and considering all the facts before throwing out negative judgement upon others. People who throw out such cliche, silly, stereotypical put-downs without actually considering what they are saying, perpetuate negative feelings just as much as anyone who chooses to be a part of a dating site that is based on looks.
Like I said..just my humble opinion..
Cheers All! | |

Sorry but nothing you have said makes any sense to me..... it's rhetoric.
Beauty is multi faceted and different to each of us, but beauty to me is in the nuances and humility..... | |

Posted: 11/4/2008 1:12:02 PM | To understand that I chose to use language that would not be directly offensive when using criticism to make my point, while meanwhile, not really requiring a response at all (just stating my opinion)...enough so that you could name it for what it is, rhetoric, shows that it made perfect sense to you..
And I agree with your opinion as well, humility is an attractive characteristic...and beauty is a multifaceted as well as subjective concept. | |

Posted: 4/5/2009 7:55:07 PM | ^ I got some of it, but it was a little wordy.
I think that beautiful people are often intelligent. In fact, psychologists will tell you that most people when looking at pictures of attractive and unattractive people, will rate the attractive people as more attractive.
However, everything changes if the so called beautiful people on this site are skanky looking. I am not saying that skanky looking people are not intelligent, but sometimes they use their skanky looks to get what they want other than their brains. | |

Posted: 4/6/2009 6:25:18 PM | I agree with Temp. The only people that would go on that site are people that "believe" they are either a pretty boy or a pretty girl. And in fact,,,those people "believing" they are such,,,,deserve a partner that "believes" the same. Kind of a match made in heaven isn't it?????
Actually I would say that the vast majority of the people on there are not there for dating, but because they have a very deep insecurity about their looks (even if they are beautiful) and need the reassurance that a site like that provides them.
I know on person who was on that site very intimately, and that is without a doubt the reason she was on there. (And she was a beautiful person, so it was very sad she needed the attention from that website to make her believe it. )
Okay, so not everyone is on there for that reason, some may actually be completely up themseleves, and other might just be deluded and good at taking misleading photos.
Point is, the whole thing is kind of silly.
I did not join BP because I have low self-esteem and needed to have my looks validated..haha..I find that comment really funny actually. I dont think that I am a super model by any means, but I also have enough self-esteem to know that I am beautiful (inside and out) without a site having to tell me so.

So what exactly do you get out of it then if you already know that you're beautiful inside and out? Surely being a member is a bit pointless for some as confident as yourself? | |

Posted: 4/6/2009 9:04:16 PM | Have u ever watched the show u people aren't missing out on much its really a prosti site for men and women. Two guys one middle aged the other almost there making their jackpots on people that hope to win them over. Just another game for money and people make themselves feel bad if their not accepted. They call themselves b people but are they its all in the eye of the beholder. Don't fret you're beautiful and no one needs to tell u that.
yea pof  | |

Posted: 4/7/2009 12:38:04 AM | | Most accurate quote I have ever heard, "No one is beautiful until you fall in love with them." Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And one must always remember outside beauty fades, it is what's inside that counts. | |

Posted: 4/7/2009 12:44:35 AM | I didnt take the time to read all thru the six pages so I sunno if someone else has already written it or not but I guess you could look on the bright side of this website... All these people being judged and judging what you look like and what is "attractive" to society or what ever, would you really wanna hook up with someone whose life revolved around their looks? Looks are good but they dont last lol and if you cant get past the looks your relationship has nothing to stand on...
personaly I think looks are a good way to attract someone but that only lasts about five mins because a large ego, or rude attitude or intolerance of others "less than themselves" can really ruin someones looks and then it doesnt matter what they look like.. LEt them have their websites. It would save us the trouble of having to weed out the snobby, rude, arrogant, narcissistic people. Wouldnt you rather spend your time with someone who smore time looking at you than in the mirror at themselves?
The things people do these days makes me wonder where common sense and even brains go lol..(wasnt worded very well i know ) but if this is how society is turning out I cant see us getting very far... do I want my future kids basing their lives on vanity and someone else's opinion of self image? no wonder the divorce rate went up.. no offense to anyone out there....I do come from a divorced family...

Posted: 4/7/2009 1:42:51 PM | This is how POF works. Its all about the photo. Or are you naive enough to think that anyone cares what you do, or who you are on a dating site? Men and women both are interested in one thing, sexual attractiveness.
This is why my profile is hidden and I only hang out for the forums. This is not the way to meet anyone. | |

Posted: 4/8/2009 12:11:39 AM | I think if you have a photo, you are taken more seriously, are you not? It is the little blue pill that shows you aren't going to waste anyone's time. This is what I think, anyway. I mean, *I* don't have a profile photo and I no longer check out profiles without photos (unless that person has a really interesting introduction or has made an interesting forum post) because I've found that such profiles had little or no content.
(Personal digression: my own lack of a profile photo and somewhat bizarre profile is an indication of lack of seriousness, I suppose. I'm just here checking the water, and if I do get serious, I will post a photo.) | |
