[How Hot Are You?](http://www.hot-people.info/default.html) I’m 8.5 out of 10, but I knew that already. 🆒 ---

It had me in there at an address that I haven’t lived at for 30 years, since I was 6 years old, which I’d never run across when accessing normal people/address databases. It makes me wonder who’s selling databases with info _that_ out-of-date. It also had me in there at the house I lived at 20 years ago and my current address. Every link within the site seems to be selling something; the “\ in local news” link on the listing for my current address goes to a classified ad on a Craigslist-type site, selling a Honda Accord. ---

I don’t see any of that stuff. Am I being wooshed? As for the OP: if I revealed that, I’d reveal my actual location. ---

Why can’t they just use a map for this? It would be so much simpler, not to mention more informative. ---

3.78. Worst website design and execution ever, by the way. I mean, my Angelfire site was more informative than that in 1996 and it was just links to things I thought were cool, plus some funny pictures. ---

4.12 I am surprised I scored that high, I would have thought I was nowhere near that hot. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > I don’t see any of that stuff. Am I being wooshed? No, you’re not being wooshed. I don’t feel like revealing my name to confirm the Honda ad, but in my perusal, most links are sites that sell personal contact info, and I’ve noticed some of the other “in the news” links go to classified ads as well. ---

If you click on the little question mark icon next to a name, you get a window that says, " . . . We encourage everyone to look themselves up and to check on their “Hot Rating”, which is an empirical estimate of their proximity to EPA toxic waste dumps. The links next to your name point you to some of the closest hot, toxic waste dumps . . ." So, everyone that’s been bragging about your Hot rating, just stand a little further back please 🙂 ---

6.8, based on proximity to that AMI Building anthrax death, apparently, which was over a long time ago, and that building no longer exists (it was remodeled and renamed). Little do they know I work right across the street from it – I should be much, much hotter! ---

Oh, you’re talking about the ads. I don’t see those. I assume the OP wasn’t talking about those, either. The only links I see are the ones that name your state, which leads to a list of cities with hotness ratings beside them. I wouldn’t touch the other links with a nine foot pole. ---

Wait, I turned off adblock, and I still just get an orange page with “Find Hot People & Hot Places” at the top in red letters, and lists of states below it. Weird. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-hot-not-spam/563736.md?page=2)
