Hot girls - a phrase searched more times on Google than most, with an estimated 300,000 daily searches. In fact it is a search term that has caught the attention of BecauseImHot.com as being one of the most relevant sites. With over 3,000 active hot girls and only 2500 guys deemed hot enough, the site probably has the highest concentration of hot people in the world.
CEO Peter De Beer claims that the site started after a somewhat academic debate as to the merits of evolution, the substance behind "superficiality"
Earlier in the year the company was praised by social network watchdogs as being the safest social network due to the user management which will see a profile deleted in less than 30 seconds. Spammers, offenders and ugly people have the lowest lifespan on BecauseImHot.com because members decide who stays and who goes.
So what makes a hot person? Peter De Beer points out that various studies have produced various results. For instance blondes are thought to be more attractive due to the association with young people and their heightened levels of pheromones. Of course brunettes will disclaim this, but essentially gaining a common view on what is hot or not is no easy task. He tells me of stories of average girl next door looks gaining higher points than established models and sometimes even being excluded altogether One surprising value the site has instilled on people suffering what is known as Body Disphoria, a psychological condition which leads to a mistaken belief that one is ugly or unattractive. BecauseImHot.com has the cure - if you are attractive, you will be rated by thousands of members and your condition is instantly cured. On the flip side, you may want to just accept that not everyone was destined for beauty when you receive an email asking you to join the group called Because I'm Not - a sister site for below average hotties that don't make the grade for Because I'm Hot.
Founded in 2008, BecauseImHot.com has attracted worldwide news coverage due to its controversial social networking capabilities. The site is currently listed for sale on websitebrokers.com
