Sadly, around 10,000 women take to Google each month to ask “Am I ugly?”
And the top link on the search engine when you ask the question is a “dangerous” site which brutally rates your looks and points out imperfections on the face.

The site was created by a programmer in Pakistan called Aqueel and initially started as a simple site to “prank co-workers.”
It quickly boomed in popularity and now gets 20,000 to 40,000 hits a month, but a body image charity has slammed it as being “dangerous.”
