Let the hoochies and the ginos date each other. It makes sense. Would you want to date any of the people that were featured in that clip? No. Chances are none of them read sites like this because they obviously have no brains. So just move on and see it as good thing: weeding this type of superficial riff-raff bridge and tunnel types out of the dating sites. There’s is nothing wrong with this.

Co-sign with jaron on the bizarre paradox of a dating site for people who don't need to resort to dating sites.

The women are actually beautiful enough to draw my attention away from my mirror for a second, and that's impressive. Oh hell, I just got voted off the island. Never mind. I guess it's time to go check out www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com to make myself feel better. Finally, a dating site for someone like me!

It seems so fitting with their overly-normative beauty standards that they wouldn't even try working with anything other than Microsoft.
