And it's on...
Most probably out of boredom, I remembered reading an article the other day about a dating website that only contained 'beautiful people'.
The way it works is after you sign up, there is a 48 hour period in which people of the opposite sex rank you, and if you fail, then you get booted off the site.
I decided to give it a go, up a photo of myself onto it and see exactly how I would be judged. I wasn't expecting a 10/10, but I was hopeful that I'd be good looking enough to stay on the site.
There are basically four choices when people vote - a big red cross, a not so red cross, a light green tick, and a darker green tick. At first I got a whole bunch of big red crosses, and then some not so red crosses, and at last, a bit of the light green tick.
Since the initial result was pretty disappointing, I was just glad to get that little green tick, even if it was only one? Maybe I was just after some approval/validation, and that was enough for me.
Anyway, I had a quick browse through the site, and it looks like half the other people are either using fake photos, or professional photos!! Well, I never thought I could compare myself with those people, so no wonder I got such harsh results. I like to think I'm better than average, but certainly nowhere near a professional model like them.
But to further make things interesting, I got this idea of uploading my arch nemesis Bob's photo up onto amihitornot.com last night. I gave him the benefit of the bought and chose that one which shows a rather muscular shoulder, strategically cropped (by him) before it goes any lower to reveal the fat.
I was kinda eager to see the results today, but apparently your photo doesn't get shown unless you rate other people first, so I did that for a while, and noticed that some pretty bad looking girls were getting some pretty high scores. I think there are a lot of desperate guys out there.
But then I decided to check out the guys. To my surprise, everyone had a pretty high score. There was like a 50 year old man who had a 9/10! WTF? But in comparison, guys didn't get that many votes, so it was harder to get an accurate average.
As I made that revelation, I thought I had given Bob a little bit too much of an advantage, as that site obviously had some very desperate people on it, or people just enjoyed clicking 10's, while my one had bloody professional models on it.
So to be fair, I've uploaded his photo on the Beautiful People one, and I'll be upping my one on amihotornot.com
Yes, childish, but I am also bored out of my mind.
