British amongst world's ugliest people, ahead of only Poles and Russians

[quote]LONDON - Britons are among the ugliest people in the world, according to a dating Web site that says it only allows "beautiful people" to join.
Fewer than one in eight British men and just three in 20 women who have applied to BeautifulPeople.com have been accepted, an e-mailed statement from the site showed.
Existing members of the "elite dating site" rate how attractive potential members are over a 48-hour period, after applicants upload a recent photo and personal profile.
Swedish men have proved the most successful, with 65 percent being accepted, while Norwegian women are considered the most beautiful with 76 percent accepted, the site said.
The way that BeautifulPeople.com accepts new members is simple. A potential member applies with a photo and a brief profile. Over 48 hours, existing members of the opposite sex vote whether or not to admit them, the site said.
Options are: "Yes definitely," "Hmm yes, O.K," "Hmm no, not really" and "No definitely not."
The site was founded in 2002 in Denmark and went live across the globe last month. Since then, the site has rejected nearly 1.8 million people from 190 countries, admitting just 360,000 new members.
"I would say Britain is stumbling because they don't spend as much time polishing up their appearance and they are letting themselves down on physical fitness," Beautiful People managing director Greg Hodge said. "Next to Brazilian and Scandinavian beauties, British people just aren't as toned or glamorous."
Only the male Russian and Polish applicants fared worse than British men, although Russian women had a 44 percent acceptance rate. Polish women did not appear in the table.
German applicants were slated for offering up unflattering photographs, which may have hindered their acceptance rates at 15 percent for men and 13 percent for women, the lowest rate in their category.
"German men and women aren't faring well, but they are submitting stern images, they need to soften up," Hodge said.[/quote]

When is that ever the case?
I bet the Director is stuffing his face right now.
I'm guessing that's why they stereotype us fat all the time. Just trying to hide the fact that they're more ugly than everyone else :v:
I wonder what British people who are good looking actually need to go on a "dating" site to find a partner, their logic is flawed.
Ahahaha, oh wow.
uh Russians?
n1
Weird that germans ranked so low, most german girls I met were very pretty, to put it mildly.
Haha, owned. :v:
MSN and their source is Dating site...
Hmm...
I hate it when sites claim things like this, they're 1 dating site of probably several hundred maybe even thousands and they think they can claim something like this because a select number of probably "lonely" people who can't find a partner through the usual method try to get on their site purely because it is called "BeautifulPeople".
1 site =/= the whole world.
[i]Swedish men, Norwegian women get highest ratings for their looks[/i]
i'm a swede so i'm probably good looking...maybe i should go to norway then?
The site was founded in 2002 in [b]Denmark[/b].
No fucking wonder. :p
Let me just..Oh lord, Their Prime-minister.

Hahahahaha that just throws his argument straight out of the window, elitist bastard.

I thought that was the creator of the site, now my statement is worthless.

Get out.
As for the topic at hand...it's only an average, and I doubt every person in Great Britain has been surveyed. I've seen some really attractive people from there, and not anyone I'd classify as downright "ugly." Then again, their definition of ugly might differ from others' significantly.
I signed up with this picture, let's see what happens.

That's not news, everyone knows this.
I find people are either really ugly or not ugly at all. There where some prety ugly people back when I was in school come to think of it. I am sure I even called them names
This is something that I have noticed from personal experience. Most blond British people have a red face... Not sure why, but it looks like they just got out of a hot shower.
I can't say really but, you think they over-did their luck with this one?

"elite dating site"
I fail to see how that's conclusive proof of attractiveness.
