Ah the Indo, an absolute load of shite.

It really doesn't take much to make the news on there. Never mind the ever changing facts about a story.

Fewer than one in 10 single Irish males who applied to put their profiles on elitist site beautifulpeople.com last year were accepted.

They sound like the kind of people who deserved the knock back for even considering using that site in the first place.

Ah yisser gorgeous!

I suspect the problem lies here:

Fewer than one in 10 single Irish males who applied to put their profiles on elitist site beautifulpeople.com last year were accepted.

A particularly high proportion of applications from Ireland will be people submitting unflattering photos of their mates for the laugh.

Definitely not the ugliest but absolutely nowhere near the best either. Probably 1 or 2 out of 10 men here take care of themselves properly and look good because of it. But genetics obviously play a part as well. Similar could be said about Irish women. A lot of them are just makeup but there are that small few who know what they're doing and look good because of it.


People here just need to take more interest in themselves and their hygiene. It's a very simple fix really and then eventually it'll seem like the standard has increased. There needs to be a cure for baldness as well, but this isn't just isolated to Ireland, lads everywhere suffer with this.

Sorry to all the men out there, it was my ugly mug that brought the score down

Just don't write an article on it. Bordering on WW3 territory there.

Deep Six

A website for vacuous airheads, who's only objective in life is to tickle the cock of peer approval from their fellow image obsessed cretins, brands us the ugliest men?

Remind me why we are supposed to care again?

Surely they're not that insecure that they can't take constructive criticism. Most of them don't, or at least shouldn't, care what men think anyway. Or at least so they claim.

In fairness the Indo are consistent when it comes to BeautifulPeople.com

Here they are reporting the exact same story in 2012

^ Sorry my fault. I bring down the national average looks single handedly - like the effect on average IQ of throwing rapper B.o.B. into a mensa meeting.

Yep. Culturally we're prone to humility rather than arrogance. And we love taking the piss. So I would estimate at least half of the submissions to that site were complete piss-takes and were submitted during a one-month period when it became a "thing" to do so.

Ah damn. To think we were super handsome only a few months ago.

All of this can be explained by my returning to live in Ireland 9 months ago.

Fear not good citizens, I've sent them a picture of myself in the nip.
Along with a 1forAll voucher worth 5smackers.
I await their response.

BUBBLES1978

lads relax..yes there are some munters in fairness both male and female in Ireland but ye aren't that bad.

xband

Clickbait article and clickbait PR from that site.

I would suspect that it's down to the fact that very few people from Ireland actually use the site / those who are using it are using it because they're not having success via the normal methods.

They're not the ugliest in the world, by a long shot.

If the site released something like that in France, a country with self-confidence (unlike Ireland), you would find there'd be a backlash and business would fall off.

Irish people are always looking for reasons why they should be insecure with themselves. Some kind of postcolonial / post bullying mentality I think. We're way too fragile and self-conscious!

Correct response to this is the Irish version of the "gallic shrug" and ignore the publicity-hungry site!

They've just updated their press release:

Seriously though, would you want to go out with anyone who registered themselves on a site for 'beautiful people'.
I'd need a bucket to vomit into, not to put over my head.

Ah we are ugly and a beard does nothing to hide that fact, sure the refugees dont even want to come here, and thats sayin something.

We have sexiest accent though so looks obviously don't matter one iota. Now if you'll excuse me, Kate Upton won't ride herself.

I thought the same until I met Delilah. She's the type of girl that the song Lola is about.

It's impossible to take anything but a shocking photo of me. I guess I'm just not that photogenic.

On the positive side, I'm not too fussy either ladies.
