Hahaha this will never work for an obvious reason that isn't socially acceptable to state. As soon as looks get involved, it's over.
Is it normal to provide relationship history on dating sites nowadays? I would feel extremely uncomfortable just giving out that info.
Depends if you are male or female? Female... nah, just a pic will do. Male... then yeah... full medical records including blood work, good pictures (probably want some cute animal in your pics too!), dating history - preferably with at a couple of good references! income statements, net worth, pictures of your house, job title, height, weight, body fat %, hobbies, shoe size, list of countries you've visited, professi…
Ask a friend (preferably female) for advice on your profile and if you've got crappy pics go get some better ones (or hire a professional to help).
And as for the attractiveness scale, if you find yourself lower down on the scale know that you're playing a game that is not in your favor since you can't show off your other great qualities there. So you need to find people that are of your similar level of attractiveness to find better success.

“uggos” is ... pretty ugly in its own way. There are people whose aesthetic appeal is quite broad. There are people whose aesthetic appeal is narrower. There are relatively few people who are broadly aesthetically repulsive. No one should deny that the former end of things makes a lot of activities easier, including dating... but the funny thing in talking to my acquaintances from the very attractive to narrower-appe…
I challenge you to find a more succinct term that gets the same point across. Politically correct speech pays a heavy price in expressiveness, especially of the banned ideas. It is kind of the point. What did I save up the points for, if not to spend it to say what I actually want, rather than gesture at it ineffectively?
“unattractive” a word you yourself already used. If you read the guidelines of the site, you’d understand the difference and why it’s important.
Apparently they actually hinder matches unless both people are paying. Some of those prices are laughably ridiculous, like Tinder's $40 for a 3 hour "boost", with no indication of effectiveness, and sadly prey on desperation.
I'd love to see a modern service that aims to meaningfully connect people instead of perpetually preying upon them for cash.
On the other hand, the dating industry may be like the lightbulb cartel; if you're too effective, your customers will no longer need you. :)
So a dating sites without pictures would never work. I hope to be proven wrong, but I don't think so.

It might also attract attractive people tired of vapid interactions. I think you'll get all sorts of people.
But mostly the unattractive people by number. I am not saying your scenario doesn't happen, but compared to the other one it will be statistically insignificant. This also means that the attractive people will find they'll get matched up with nothing but uggos, and then they'll leave.
Yikes. Gotta hope you're physically attractive, 'cause your attitude is extremely not. My cynical take, as a divorcée, is that folks who've been married before will be less interested in the superficial and better equipped to evaluate compatibility. Folks drawn to this site will probably be less interested in the looks of their intended, and perhaps their own appearance as well. And they'll be all the happier if you keep to the shallows.

If the only way to discuss a concept is to first put on a suit and tie and pay prostrating deference to all who demand it (and demand it they will), then nobody will discuss it very much.
This is how you win a game of censor-thy-neighbour without actual admin access to the platform.
