That's according to a controversial website that allows only beautiful people to join. Fewer than one in five New Zealand women (17 percent) have been accepted as members on beautifulpeople.com, but one in three (33 percent) Kiwi men successfully joined. Members on the site rate how attractive a new applicant is over 48 hours. They then decide whether he or she is good-looking enough to join. More than 4900 New Zealanders have applied to join the site, with 1274 accepted. Scandinavians have proved to be the world's most attractive. Swedish men are regarded as the world's most attractive with 65 percent being accepted. Norwegian women are the world's most attractive, with 76 percent allowed to join. Overall, Kiwi males rank as the sixth-most-attractive worldwide. Kiwi women aren't even in the top 10. As usual, New Zealand men rate above our neighbours across the Tasman – only 20 percent of Australian males have been accepted on the site. However, more Australian women (21 percent) than Kiwis have been accepted. Mel Brown, director of local model agency Portfolio, said there was no shortage of good-looking folk in Christchurch. "Here in Christchurch we really have some fantastic-looking guys and girls," Brown said. However, Brown said it was often remarked abroad that the attractive Kiwis went overseas. On the streets of Christchurch yesterday, Danish student Selma Boesen, 18, said European people were the world's most attractive. "I think people in Europe are prettier. Fashion isn't a big deal here." Friend Lis Andreasen, 18, said she didn't think Kiwi women were among the world's ugliest. "But I like the guys in Europe better," she said. New Zealander Katie Kerr, 21, said claims Kiwis were among the world's ugliest women was a "ridiculous generalisation", while her friend, Jesse Goodwin, 21, said Kiwis were "pretty good looking". Nat Shaw, 21, said there were plenty of attractive Kiwi women to choose from. The beautifulpeople.com site went live worldwide last month. It has rejected nearly 1.8 million people from 90 countries. www.stuff.co.nz	Beefholio (15414)

832012	2009-11-21 03:33:00	I'd say more women are deluded in thinking they are attractive, so more of them would be dumb enough to sign up for such a retarded site. I'm sure they are shocked to discover they're not what they think. Personally, I'm as ugly as a twisted sneaker, And proud of it.	Metla (12)

832018	2009-11-21 17:48:00	but Kiwi women are among the world's ugliest. That's nonsense of course. The results must be really skewed. The prettiest and most adorable girls (and girlfriends) I've seen have all been New Zealanders. And I've travelled quite a lot. Sure Scandinavian women can be a sheer delight to gaze upon, but I still reckon our home-grown are best.	Greg (193)
