Physical attractiveness meets social media: Ready for a sperm bank of--and for--beautiful people?

Could you belong?  Better yet, would you want to?

Everyone's heard of Match.com or eHarmony--places on the web people can go if they want to find another person in the world that's the "right one" for them...what Match.com calls "someone special."  The people at eHarmony pledge to help you find the right person to be with in life based on scientific matching using 29 dimensions of compatibility--and expert guidance to boot!  But all of that might just be--certainly if you're genetically lucky--overkill.  Meet a social website called, pretty aptly, beautifulpeople.com--"where beautiful relationships begin."

All the stuff that eHarmony offers is, apparently not necessary--for on this social site eyes alone end of being the primary determinant of who's in, who's out, and who's the right one.  Groucho Marx made famous the principle that beautifulpeople operates on--people wanting to belong but can't. [Groucho's specific quote is: I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.]  Last year, the site takes great pride in the fact that it rejected 5.8 million people, and instead decided to select only a comparative few.  

Need beautiful sperm for your off-spring?

Now there's a sperm bank linked with beautifulpeople.  Which, in theory, puts this social group back into the realm of possibility for--and I realize I'm being generous, here, with myself--ordinary-looking people like me: I can start a beautiful relationship, not for myself, of course, but for my off-spring, to have with physical attractiveness itself--at conception.  And what's the pay-off for that, well, then he or she--just maybe--might be able to join the social group I couldn't in the first place!  

I must admit I'm kind of at a loss for words of wisdom on all of this--except to say that it's a logical extension of all the component parts we've come to know and like:  technology, free-enterprise, and an enormous marketplace of people who want to "buy"--but, as it turns out, can't.  In any case, I thought you'd like to learn about this--especially if you weren't a member and hadn't heard about the offer before this.  Here, check the story out for yourself...
