If you don’t mind being rejected? Snub Club’s worth a shot!

Here’s a unique dating site where members get to vote on who gets in, based on how they look. You will be denied entry unless of get a rating of 75% or higher. An epitome of online snobbery. If looks is the only thing which matters to you, then you should definitely give this a shot – provided you are attractive enough yourself!

Think Dating 2.0. Take the concept of Hot or Not and mash it up with a conventional online dating website and this is something you might end up with.

What they have to say?
"The SnubClub is a hangout for young people with style, energy, passion and dreams. We are a private club, where you are the doorman. A place where your opinion ALWAYS counts!

Once approved by the public, members have the opportunity to meet others in a relaxed and secure environment. You never know who you might bump into in the SnubClub, but rest assured they’re going to be interesting and attractive, since they’re in the club only after passing the same requirements as you!"

Once on the site, you get to vote:

And…

75% seriously is quite a high barrier!

Of course this method cannot be 100% fool-proof! There will obviously be fake pictures and vote rigging.

In fact they allow you to add a voting widget to your MySpace or Friendster page. You can even embed it on your blog and it looks something like this:

Online Dating has never really caught up in India. Initially it was Fropper who positioned itself as a Dating website, but even they have changed to the Social Networking mantra. No site in India has truly succeeded in becoming a dating hub.

Perhaps it’s because of the whole Indian mentality? Or perhaps, there are not enough single girls online in India? Or perhaps there’s no guy date-worthy?

Well Snub Club is an interesting concept which can be worked upon (especially in India), to create a dating website which might have a profile screening process to filter out and avoid the weirdos & perverts whom you might have gotten real fed up off!
Mostly the ‘I wanna frend-sheeep wid u’ kinds on Orkut.

A search query on Dating+India on Google, gives the following results under Sponsored Links:

BigAdda is trying to position itself as a dating website. Fropper is telling you that it’s a Clean Dating site. Ibibo asks you to share dating tips if you’ve managed to land a hot date – Quite ridiculous!

Any VC reading this wants to fund my idea? :-)
