Hot or Not
Do you not think its a slightly superficial and vacuous activity to rate people's worth by how attractive you think they are?

As someone who has been repeatedly lambasted in life for not being one of the 'beautiful people' (I am a long term sufferer of proteus syndrome in its advanced stages. In certain lights I look as though I have congealed rather than grown), I find this obsession with beauty rather purile.

Come on people, beauty comes from within. My spleen is amongst one of the most magnificent in the modern world, and my sphinctus muscle is the Johnny Depp of the offal world!

Mind you, some of the women on there have racks that would make Mary Whitehouse take up masturbation as a hobby.

I feel
Really bad!
I'm 8th in the hot or not scoreboard and i'm a lowly lurker!
Must be the hat, when i've attempted the online dating thing before I've failed miserably to find anyone vaguely interesting.
I feel a little better now I've posted something, but still single :(

My histogram displays an abnormal distribution! I have loads of 9s and 10s and loads of 1s and 2s. Obviously I divide opinion...

I've never sent a personal ad - how can anyone sum themselves up in so few words. I would need to take out a full page in a broadsheet. Plus every fucker lies!

hot or not -.- and okcupid
hot or not... well i certainly didn't need that blow to my self esteem =p

no stories from personal ads but i have met some people from the online realm with mixed results.

not sure if anyones ever used okcupid before but be warned.. so many dodgy kents.

last person i met.. over a year ago now decided to wait until after we went on a "date" to tell me he was already in a relationship and just wanted a bit on the side.. needless to say i went back into obscurity and have never looked back.

Eh!
I've just come back off hols and I haven't got a clue what you are all on about re the hot or not but I am not going to succumb as I know I am beautifull and no scraggy website is going to tell me otherwise.

By the way - ancrenne is beaufifull too and I know cause I've seen her.

CUNT! she wouldn't go fer it whilst I was with her and now she's fucking this unemployed drunken redneck with space fer brains she'll go G/G??

Once again for the people who can't work out how to get on the list
Once you've created your profile, click this link. I think that's how it works, I created the list so didn't have to join it:

[EDIT: Mickturate, I interpreted that as "bi-curious husband to watch". You may have avoided buggery.

Large, and a nutter to say the least.
I recently moved to a completely new place and didnt know anyone. A local girl messaged me on a dating site. She did say from the offset that she was on the larger side, and she didnt look very good in her pictures. Well fair enough I thought, she might have some fit mates. And theres nothing wrong with a bit of a friendship.
We exchanged a few emails and they were generally quite pleasent and she seemed like a nice person. That was until i mentioned Ive had an ex girlfriend. She went nuts! Saying that we couldnt be friends. She was a devout catholic, and didnt want anything to do with me because I wasnt a virgin. (Im 27, she was 25). And that was it, dumped before we even met.

A week later my mate came over to stay. Amused by this, he set up his own profile: "The worlds last virgin catholic?" He become the man of her dreams! Within 15 minutes he had a message from her. They exchanged a few messages. The girl was 27 stone! Suffered with schitzofrenia, no job, no mates, no money. Just a hefty wodge of blob to offer to the world. She said that she always eats at a certain restaurant on a sunday down at the marina, and it would be great if he came along. So we did.. together. We descretly walked by. She was sat at a table outside. But not in a chair, no she had to sit on the wall and push the table up to her! We were sighted by perhaps the fattest girl i have probably ever seen in my life. Her sheer mound of her stomach was actually lifting the table off the floor. We quickly moved on and vowed never to set eyes on that thing again.

So yes, I officially got dumped by a grosely obese Schitzo nutter on a dating site because I'm not a virgin!

My Hot or NOT face is a shoegaze band from the 1990s
Well, I'm in the top 30. A fluke result from what, let's face it, is a minor, unpopular label which has been neither popular nor conventional.

Get to hear Mark Goodier mispronounce my name when he does the run down (metaphorically, of course, all of this is metaphorically). It'll be for one week only, before the big comes come crashing back.

edit - oh, there I go crashing down the charts. Oh well.

Punished for cleavage
I put up a sexy boobylicious photo of me and have been massively marked DOWN for it. Well, not massively, but it's lower than the smiley face photo. Clearly there are some fine upstanding Christian soldiers out there, or something.

Resigned to celibacy
As I'm below average - just scraping a 4.9 I am now resigned to celibacy and old maid status for the rest of my days.

Perhaps I should put out a personal ad saying the following -
Unattractive intelligent woman seeks fit handsome man in his 30s, must be minted and possibly needs strong glasses.

*Sigh*
Am now joining the growing band of b3tans crying in the toilets. Pass the razor blades.

Hmmmm
Last year i met a girl in Toulouse through a dating web site, she was sort of plain looking but she was up for sex on the first date (well, actually we were sitting in a park, and i mentioned that we could go back to mine for a drink, and she asked if i had any condoms... so that cleared things up)

over the next few days she tells me that her ex could only get off through watersports, and that she's up for it "but i won't drink it".

Euuurr.

She was quite rich, having started her own company (she bragged a lot about the fact that she was about to buy a flat in miami), so for my birthday she took me to a swanky hotel for lunch, where there was some pregnant girl whose red bra was quite visible through her shirt, which i pointed out, the meal was nice, etc.

The next evening she comes over to mine for a meal, we head straight for the bedroom, she gives me a "special present" (well whatever), then afterwards we sort of start talking about this and that, and i mention some girl from work who i used to go out with for some reason, as well as other stuff.

anyway, about five minutes after, i start to make my move to get jiggy with her, and she pushes me away, saying she's leaving. I follow her out as she's putting various items of clothing back on, she starts on at me about me always mentioning other women and the fact that i was staring at the pregnant ladies red bra, and ogling the waitresses whilst talking to her and that i'm a bastard and "i don't know why you want me here"... i was speechless.
She ended the rant with me standing in my boxers at the front door, and her saying something along the lines of "next time, try and find someone less mental than me". Well, quite.

I've actually met a lot of people thanks to internet, i even met a canadian girl on a Belle & Sebastian mailing list, she came all the way to Toulouse for new years eve to meet me. It was quite a disaster for many reasons.

And tomorrow night i've got a second date with a really funny sexy girl i met on a dating website, but the thing is i might be moving back to toulouse for work in the next few months, but i really want to get her into bed, and it may take some time and effort.
Am I evil for not mentioning that i might be moving?

Oh and on the minitel where i used to work, i suppose it could be considered personal ads, even though the main gist of the messages on it were "wanna shag? what's your phone number? i want to meet you when when when where?"
What we'd do with the really annoying, obnoxious ones, would be to give them the numbers of their local peugeot dealers. I could just imagine them calling Réné the mecanic...
Or even worse, i used to cycle to work, so when a real berk was insisting on meeting my fictional big breasted lady, i'd agree to "meet" in front of the cinema that was on my route home, so i'd actually see them waiting as i cycled past with a shit eating grin.

VERY satisfying.

a, not hot.

in answer to your question about so many b3tans being single, yet aquiring high scores on HoN, the answer is probably that we may look 'ok', but our personalities suck big rocks.*

to be honest, I'm fucking astonished that I'm currently rated 60th out of 131, with a score of 7.1, ahead of many women, of which I think are better looking than me.
Come to think of it, some of those guys between 61 and 131 are better looking than me.

kicking and screaming
Hate to drag the thread vaguely back to the question but I went on a date last night from a personal ad. I only decided to go on it as a result of this QOTW after all this I was expecting a right psycho about size54 with self-harming injuries and a smack problem, turns out she was just as described, slightly larger but then I like that, laugh like a drain and mind in the gutter. ACES. had a cracking laugh and made the mistake of telling her about this place..... so expect to see all my failings in glorious detail!
she wasn't insulted which was nice, and going to go out again on Friday.
So there are some decent ones out there not just the sad collection of weirdos most b3tans seem to meet. (is there a common factor there?)
roll on the B3ta dating site.

You haven't got enough votes for them to work out an average. Give it time.

I'm currently sitting at 78th, with a 6.1, which means I'm punching above my weight, I reckon.
