Dating site axes members who gained weight
A dating website only for attractive people says it has axed over 5,000 members -- because they put on too much weight over the holidays.Bosses at BeautifulPeople.com claim they have kicked out many members seeking love, after they'd piled on the pounds during the holidays.
The newly chubby were apparently caught out after posting images of themselves celebrating Christmas and the New Year - revealing they have let themselves go.
Managing director Greg Hodge said as they no longer met the exacting standards of the community on the site, they had to reapply for membership, only a few hundred have so far been voted back in.
Interestingly Hodge didn't specify how exactly how many mince pies he had eaten this Christmas... or send us a photo of himself.
"We responded to complaints by moving the newly chubby members back to the rating stage. This is the same as having them re-apply," said Hodge.
"Their re-applications were reviewed by existing members and only a few hundred were voted back in.
"Every year we see that some of our members from western cultures eat and drink to excess over the holidays and clearly their looks suffer.
"The USA has been grossly over-indulging since Thanksgiving - it's no wonder that so many members have been expelled from the network. We hope they will be back after shedding the festive pounds.
"In the UK and Canada, Christmas and the New Year are all about over-eating, over-drinking and watching TV on the sofa."
