Tired of weeding through the profiles of - sniff - total dogs on Match.com and MySpace? Don't want to stoop to chatting with anyone larger than a size 4? Do you wonder where all the hotties are? Surely you can't be, like, the only one.

Hey, supermodels need love too, and now there's a vain domain where they can all meet up when they get tired of looking at their reflections in the mirror: BeautifulPeople.net. This British-born dating and networking site isn't fussed about personality tests or compatible interests; according to them, it's all about what's on the outside.

"People want to be with people they are attracted to," the site claims. "It's human nature."

BeautifulPeople describes itself as an "elite and exclusively Beautiful community, founded for the purpose of creating personal and professional relationships between people who stand out from the majority because of their attractive appearance and personal qualities."

To that end, extraordinarily gorgeous men and women are invited to upload a picture and profile for free. Existing members then rate the applicants over a 72-hour period and determine whether or not the applicants are in fact beautiful or instead look like they fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
