" Attractive appearance (which has a lot to do with health and fitness, not so much hair style, etc.) and a mind. I'm afraid anyone who stoops to a site that judges "hotness" is not really hot enough all-around. But it probably works if you have low standards. "

" Physical attraction ranks up there with intelligence, integrity, and maturity. Sense of humor is also an asset. I wouldn't find the types I'm attracted to on "hotenough", as they lack too many attractive "features". I've met too many good looking shallow guys. I can find attractive guys in the real world, which beats interenet dating any day. "

" I could not agree more. The first thing people notice in a person is there looks also. It is what makes a person want to talk to another person (in most cases)you know that twinkle in there eye, dimples and etc that make you think "WOW, I have to meet him\her". And let's be serious with ourselves and admit that what happens in the bedroom is extemely important in a healthy relationship. "

" Cause I swear you're living on Fantasy Island. So what all of you are saying is that physical attraction has nothing to do with you making the first steps in your relationships? That is a blatent lie. You agree to dates with people you're not physically attracted to? Somehow I doubt that. "

" I agree. What is more undesirable than a "fat" person? A cold, self-centered nasty person, a thoughtless person, a stupid person, a shallow person, a person who lacks an ounce of integrity. I can deal with a lack of creativity or a bland sense of humor. But the qualities above are really unattractive. They're really ugly. "

Dear Wow. One more time. wrote on Apr 4, 2007 9:48 PM:

" Defensiveness. You're turned off my ugly people. Some of us are turned off by cruelty. You are cruel. Some people are also turned off by stupidity. But your cruelty is what is really disturbing (if you are the one who made the initial ugly comments). What you look like or what I look like has nothing to do with it. I'd be very embarrassed to hang out with someone of your character. I feel bad that you can't see through your own disturbing approach to other human beings. It honestly makes me think you're unhappy yourself. But that's for you to deal with. Why spew your nastiness onto others? Sooner or later, you'll figure this out...if you're lucky enough to mature. Some people never do. "

" On my special website, you score very low on the "hot" meter, honey. Your statements give you many points on the shallow rating chart. Congratulations. You're now a member of the shallow fraction of the population! Ask yourself why looks are really the first thing you judge people on. And ask yourself why your thinking must be the thinking of the rest of the world. If this is too deep, wait 10 years and try again. Best wishes. "

" I'm afraid you have missed the point and stooped to broad generalizations. Your inability to understand a view point outside your own speaks to the thinking level of a 12 year old. I have been described as "hot" myself and frankly, I think it's a boring understatement of who I am. Hot is trite. Pretty, that's nice. But in any case, I do not have a problem looking at "ugly" people as I do not tend to notice what people look like. More often, their demeanor tells me much more. I am attracted to a smile, health (whether that's skinny, muscular, or round), and some sense of humor and human decency. "

RE: Don't get mad wrote on Apr 4, 2007 9:13 AM:

" The comment about "sifting through a ton of fat people who don't care about their appearance" is somewhat relevant, but then it is a matter of lifestyle, not hotness. There are a lot of internet dating services for people who value fitness and an active lifestyle without emphasizing hotness. The hotenough site is not enough-- because hotness means nothing. There are people who may look hot but don't care about themselves i.e., they might do drugs to get that "hot" body, or mutilate themselves with plastic surgery, rendering them just as unhealthy and undesireable as a "fat" person. "

Wow, I didn't know everyone would get so defensive. wrote on Apr 4, 2007 8:34 AM:

" I'm just stating a fact. People don't want to look at ugly people. The first thing you are attracted to in a person is their looks. Before you even get to know them, you know if you are attracted to them. I'm guessing all the people that replied spitefully are just sad because they are afraid people think they are ugly. "

" Come back when you are 15 and say something that can make you feel like you aren't making the world a little bit more of a slimy and shallow place. If you are already older than 15, I feel sorry for you. Honestly. Your hottness can't make up for your own suffering and on some level you know it. People who feel good about themselves have absolutely no reason to tell other people that they are ugly. I could hope your hottness would make you feel good, but as an adult (whether I look good or not), I know this is not the case. What will be left of you on the day you find out you are not "hot"? How sad. "

You're right wrote on Apr 3, 2007 11:27 PM:

" If being "hot" is all-important, get ready for a serious mid-life crisis. After so much importance placed on being "hot", we age and lose our hottness. I'll be glad to have some intelligence and a sense of humor left over to carry me on. Also, I can know that elitism of any sort is a waste of my character. Meanwhile, everyone who met up on "hotenough" will wonder what they're supposed to be looking for. They'll be left with wrinkly faces, sagging jowls, no deep relationships, and empty minds. That's hot. "

Yep. wrote on Apr 3, 2007 7:01 PM:

" This is what a blog brings...all the slimy low-life characters crawl out from under their rocks. We could even use profanity and bash the WDN if we wanted, but I'll leave that to someone else. Let's start experimenting with racial and religious attacks, since personal attacks and slander are okay. "Don't be mad because you're ugly" might think they look nice, but they certainly have low-class taste. This is bottom-shelf character in its glory. "

What if I'm hot. So what. wrote on Apr 3, 2007 4:47 PM:

" Let's look into this sad, shallow approach to "relationships". Ask yourselves why you really need to feel "hot" and then why, if you are so very lucky, that you need some validation for this. You might be rated hot by the slimy old man who runs the site. Who would know. "Hot" is pretty subjective anyway. If you aren't intelligent, you can only pass for "cute" in my book...never "hot". But, I'm not setting up any empty-minded sites, so don't wait around for me to make you feel better about yourselves. "

the point of such stupid sites wrote on Apr 3, 2007 4:46 PM:

" This is not about finding a hot date. This site is about validation for anyone with low enough confidence that they need to be told by some anonymous person, via the virtual world, that they are hot. I had the greatest amount of "hot" dates when I was completely lacking in self-confidence. It was especially important to shack-up and feel "sexy". Anyone with an ounce of self-esteem does not need to bother with finding out whether or not they make the cut on "hotenough". This isn't coming from an ugly person either, so hold your judgements kids. "

disturbing wrote on Apr 3, 2007 4:40 PM:

" Get rid of your blog, WDN, if noone has the time or care to abide by your rules for reader comments. The one written by "Don't be mad..." is especially irritating. Of course, I guess I now have to say the freedom to say that the writer of that statement would not make it on any "mature-enough", "smart-enough" or even "mildly-intelligent" site. They might have a good-looking airhead that they can have superficial arguments with, but nothing like a "Relationship". Let's all just start slamming people here. Why not. It's free, it's anonymous, and I'm mad at the world and lacking in IQ. This is fun. "

Don't be mad because you're ugly. wrote on Apr 3, 2007 11:55 AM:

" The good looking people are just sick of sifting through a ton of fat people that don't care about their appearance. There's a reason you don't have a significant other... it's because you're ugly. It's life-get used to it. "

Hotenough.org: Single, sexy, segregated wrote on Apr 2, 2007 1:25 PM:

" I'm honestly not against a discriminating site. I mean, if people want a specific mate, what's to make them want to sift through a more democratic site where everyone's welcome. Just because people are on Lavalife, or whatever that eHarmony site is, doesn't mean they're not as picky, or worse, as big a jerk. And really, their priority comes down to better identifying people who they can consider a potential mate. If people are unwilling to accept surprises, that may offer a glimpse to why they're still single. Having said that, the site is pretty funny. There's hardly a minority on there. And honestly, most of them look alike. I'm all for hotenough.org -- keep snobby bimbos off the streets, I say. "

Old Enough wrote on Apr 1, 2007 11:09 AM:

" I don't believe I'm "hot enough" to be approved by the site. How do I know? I know because the term "hot enough" isn't part of my vocabulary, though I do know how to use the term "cool" appropriately. The great thing about "coolness" was it applied to attitude as well as looks. Yet, "cool" was a discriminating term, too. Ah, if only the youth knew the value of "lukewarm..." "
