'Darwin' dating site for the beautiful only

A dating website where looks really are everything and ugly people are banned is giving a modern meaning to Charles Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' theory.

But you won't be alone. Half of all British applications so far have been rejected.

The site is based on Darwin's theory of evolution – interpreted as meaning the most attractive of the species must be drawn together.

And take comfort that Mr Fox, 26, was rejected by his own website when he submitted his photograph.
