Hong, who is otherwise unemployed, hopes to turn it into a profitable venture. Visitors can peruse 260,000 pictures and choose to view men, women or both. When the first picture comes up, visitors, who act as beauty pageant judges, give it a score from 1 to 10 to make the next photo appear. The Web site does not allow photos of nude people, celebrities or people younger than 18 to be posted. Most pictures are head shots, Hong says.
Guys are more likely to be in pictures with props such as their freshly washed cars.
Some are flexing their muscles or have their shirts unbuttoned, revealing a glossy chest or rock-hard abs. Women tend to send in posed photos, professional pictures and even wedding photos. Some are generous with the amount of cleavage they reveal. Vanity and voyeurism. Some may want the fame or just knowing that thousands of people around the world will see them today.
