Brits are among the ugliest people in the world... according to an exclusive website which only allows 'beautiful' people to join.
Less than one in eight UK men (12 per cent) and just three in 20 women (15 per cent) who have applied to BeautifulPeople.com have been accepted as members.
Existing members of the website rate how attractive potential members are over a 48-hour provisional period, when applicants upload a recent photograph and a short personal profile.
They are rated by members of the opposite sex, who have four options to describe how attractive they think the hopeful is - 'Yes definitely', 'Hmmm yes, OK', 'Hmmm no, not really' and 'NO definitely NOT'.
Swedish men have proved the most successful applicants, with two-thirds (65 per cent) of those putting themselves forward being accepted.
Norwegian women are considered the most beautiful with more than three-quarters (76 per cent) making the grade.
Since the website was opened to UK members 295,000 people have applied, with only 35,000 being approved.

Oh, argh.
My eyes! You just messed up my ping page.
Last month a poll said Philadelphia had the ugliest people in the USA!
He deserves a standing ovation for clawing his way out of the toilet before it could be flushed a second time.
Reminds me of a joke which I can’t quite recall but which goes something like:
Why did the Stones hire Keith Richards?
To make Mick Jagger look healthy.
What’s really scary about tht pic is that Charlie Watts is the good-looking one.
I have worse.
Bessie Braddock: Winston, you are drunk, and what's more, you are disgustingly drunk.
Churchill: Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.
LOL!
I’m not going to waste my time applying. I’ll wait for www.beautifulreallysmartpeople.com to come online.
Ah, that may be the first completely acceptable, and perhaps even encouraged, double post in the history of FR.
lol
I was anticipating it.
After I hit post, the thought occurred you would post something even more horrendous...
Barney Frank is the most disgusting person I can think of and I been thinking about it for weeks now.
I’m lazy today.
Another exception.
Re Zeta-Jones —— yes, she is gorgeous, but I believe she is Welsh! I think the English ‘Brits’ are the ones most under fire in this debate.
