Country_Girl Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I applied to this website out of curiosity. I refuse to pay for a dating site, the free ones I've tried ended in lack-luster results. Ok Cupid- not enough people when I did try it. Never had a long enough conversation going on to actually meet, maybe got 1 message but after a reply the convo would fizzle in about a week or two, then "poof" they are gone. POF- met 4 guys. One was a dead end date, he told me people were born to cheat on each-other because we are all animals. Another we dated for a month, but only got 'friend' vibes from each-other (mutual). 3rd, we went on 1 date, he decided we lived too far. 4th was not who he portrayed online, his pictures were not him. Rich men - lol I wasn't looking for a rich guy, only messaged and met 1 guy. He wasn't rich, he was a rafting guide and in school in the off season. He was really nice, we dated for 2 months. He decided he wasn't over his ex wife (they had 2 kids together) when he found out she had cancer. We stopped talking (he stopped replying to texts/calls). He tried to contact me 3 months later but I didn't reply. Tinder- met 2 guys. Both said they wanted a relationship. First guy was nothing like he portrayed in messages and texts. He seemed fun and flirty, but upon meeting was very un-fun. Passive, couldn't make decisions, didn't seem to be having a good time. I stopped replying to texts after that. Guy 2 was nice, his OLD pics were obviously older, but that's okay. Turns out, he only wanted to hook up. He did the slow fade after the first and last date. Now going to try Beautiful People. Sounds vain yes, but I would only go on a date with someone I found attractive anyway. It "all" has to be there, there has to be some chemistry. I've met guys out and about and gone on dates with guys I found maybe not attractive, but their personality stood out, or they were nice genuine people and I thought I could "grow" an attraction to. That only happened once in my life. Others were forced connections that didn't go anywhere. Going to try one last avenue, beautiful people. I am 22 hours away from being voted in. My status bar over the last 26 hours has a 97% "in" favor. Anyone that has used the site have any stories to tell? I only want people that have used the site to reply on their experiences. Good/Bad? Same as other dating sites?
Phoe Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I believe Leigh 87 participated on this site, she might be able to tell you more about it! 1
Bobbi7 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Can anyone sign up for beautiful.com? Is approval required?
Smthn_Like_Olivia Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Can anyone sign up for beautiful.com? Is approval required? Yes, the members vote whether or not you are approved based on how "beautiful" they think you are.
Leigh 87 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I never used it. After getting voted in, I used it as a but if an ego boost and then i continued using free sites. I have no problem getting attractive men on the free, non beautiful people sites.... You're obviously quiet attractive since 97% voted you in.. Attractive people get attractive people messaging them. Irrespective of what dating sites. The difference with beautiful people is that the members are ALL mostly good looking I found.... Where as on other sites, I still managed to get a date with one attractive man per week, but I had way more messages sent my way from unattractive men than I did from attractive men.... I say go for it. You will get a higher volume of hotter men to choose from! I, however, am not conventionally or universally good looking. I'm attractive to a decent number of men but I'm definitely not classically beautiful and therefore I find myself more sexually attracted to men who aren't model look alike types. I prefer a bit more character and I am more drawn to imperfections. The average Joe with a cute smile is more appealing to me than one of the perfect toothed, ultra fit man from beautiful people. Whatever floats your boat. Give it a try! Let us know what goes down! I never did end up using it.
Author Country_Girl Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks for the insights Leigh- what I have found is the opposite, not that many attractive guys, and I have a pretty wide range. At least for my area, Denver, plus there aren't as many people as other dating sites. I did a search on women to see if the results were similar, but 99% of the females were attractive. The guys aren't anything more than what you would find on Plenty of Fish. The only reason I can come up with, is since guys are more visual, they are stricter judges. Where women can find an imperfection cute. I'd say I'm average looking, I think it's the blonde hair that got me in, 95% of female members in my area were all blonde. I'm not going to even use this site. Turns out, once you verify, you can send messages free, but you can't read incoming messages unless you pay. It's a total rip off in my opinion, because you could be messaging people that don't even have access to that feature unless they are paying members. What's interesting is I reactivated my old OK Cupid profile at the disappointment of BP, and there were better looking guys and way more members on OKC! A lot different when I tried OKC back in 2011, it just didn't seem that popular. Membership has definitely grown. If anyone is looking to get into BP, don't bother, waste of time, and is not free.
Auspecial Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 No, I haven't tried it, but maybe I should. ; Just kidding.. I'm going to stay in real life from now on.
