Am I hot enough?

As soon as I get some "hot" photos together, I will apply to hotenough.org, a dating website exclusively created for good looking and fit singles. I am very nervous, I must admit. What if the judging committee thinks I am not an 8? You see, you have to be an 8 to be accepted to the club. Or what if they say "you're only a 5, Victoria..go back to those other not hot dating websites." That would sting for sure.
Nevertheless, I will try it out, you see I have dabbled in online dating a little (3 days) and I did find that most of the members that I viewed were not really that attractive. Sure, we shared similar interests and had common life goals, but I wouldn't have wanted to look at them for too long. And this exact same thought was what motivated Jason Pellegrino and his partner to create the website. They both rate over an 8 and felt there was a real market for this type of a business. We'll just have to see. I will keep you all posted about what my rating is and if anything comes of this adventure.
Jason Pellegrino (an 8.2 on the attractiveness scale) says the problem with Internet dating services is not enough really hot-looking people. So he and a business partner have created HotEnough.org, a sort of online version of Studio 54, the exclusive '70s disco where gaining admission was a pitiless Darwinian exercise. HotEnough.org is for "fit, good-looking" people.

Umm... Victoria, you're an 11.

do we really care?....what about all those who are a 10 on the inside?
There must be something more meaningful to report on...

Hot Enough!
Revay is NOT in need of, say, Habanero, for example.

As far as newsworthiness, I think it kinda is-- the first singles site I've ever heard of that has an arbitrary attractiveness level as a prerequisite for participation. Hey, at least they're honest. It's like junior high school, only of legal drinking age.
Me, I'm gonna apply to these guys... I'm hoping for at least a 6.

Matte, sometimes we need to have fun in life....this article that I posted had the blogosphere buzzing yesterday, so obviously as frivolous as it may seem, it is newsworthy. Internet dating sites are one of the top grossing businesses today, and finding love in this crazy world is a tp priority for most people. Life is good, take her easy my friend.

Its not going to work. First off, all the tens don't need a dating site. And secondly all the ones, two's and three's will be sending in pictures of hot looking people that they took with their camera cell phones from unssuspecting hot passer by's. All these dating sites should just knock of using models pretending to be real people, and just make everyone use their driver license phot ID.

Actually, I know several 8-10's who have loads of trouble meeting people. Their work hours are weird, or they don't like bars, or whatever. One girl I know could totally be one of those billboard models, but she always crosses her arms and hunches up her shoulders when talking to strangers, later asking, "How come he didn't like me?" She's smart and funny, and would excel in an online environment, at least as a starter. My main problem with the hotornot approach to online dating is the sheer subjectivity of the criteria.

The next step: a dating site that's only for blue-eyed blondes of strict caucasian heritage.

I can't speak for any of you people but all scientists are hot. Example; this one time we were walking down the street and a homeless person touched one of us to ask for change. He burst into flame on contact. That, my friends, is hot.
True story.
