    It is still amusing how it conforms to stereotypes. Swedes/Norwegians and Brazilians are known for being attractive whereas British (and to a lesser extent, Germans) are not.

      Maybe the stereotypes affect the decisions by the people on that site.

        I've experienced "elite beauty" social network things on one of my other sites, and the people they tend to attract are appalling. Vapid, self-obsessed bubbles.

          Maybe, assuming the locations are given during the screening process. If not, it wouldn't be.

              Gray Poupon isn't any better or worse then dozens of other brands of dijon mustard yet they demand people pay a price premium for their product and market it as the type of mustard rich old men chauffeured around in Rolls Royces buy and suddenly people are willing to pay twice the price because they perceive it to be a luxury brand or aspirational brand. It's a brilliant piece of marketing.

                  Doubtful if they acquire a Canadian accent.

                      Everyone hates the Kiwi accent. It's appalling.
