Who said looks don’t matter?

A dating site open exclusively to crowd-sourced “beautiful” people recently expelled 5,000 members for gaining too much holiday weight.  The subjects of fairness and discrimination are hardly the elephants in the room.  From the site’s managing director:

“Is it elitist? Yes, it is, because our members want it to be,” Hodge said when the company started out in 2005. “Is it lookist? Yes, it is, because our members want it to be. Is it PC? No, it’s not, but it’s honest.”
