There’s ugly, and then there’s British, according to BeautifulPeople.com. The dating website, which prides itself in accepting only those that meet the arbitrary beauty standards of existing members, notes that very few full-time residents from the United Kingdom are accepted into their virtual gated community.
Theories abound for Limey’s dearth of pretty people, from the prevalence of soccer riots, to the National Health Service’s sub-par dental plan, to the always popular presumption that hundreds of years of inbreeding have made them hideously deformed, alcoholic mutants. Beautiful People managing director Greg Hodge has his own theory:
“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. … Next to Brazilian and Scandinavian beauties, British people just aren’t as toned or glamorous.”
Britain would be remiss not to note the pro-Scandinavian bias BeautifulPeople.com appears to hold. The site was founded in Denmark, and its beauty fascist members consistently find Swedish men and Norwegian women to be the most perfect specimens of humanity located anywhere in the world. A quick dip in the fjords must do wonders for their glacier-white skin.
