A heads-up on some upcoming features
I’m working on a few new features to the site that will be ready very soon. First and foremost, you’ll be able to see who uploaded each photo, check out the uploader’s profile and see what other photos they’ve submitted. You’ll also be able to add your favorite people as contacts, see each others’ favorites lists, and a whole lot more.
With these changes, this site is going to look more and more like a social network. I’m not too enamored with the idea of turning Babe Vs Babe into a social network, since there are already so many out there, but I can’t deny the fact that there are certain aspects of social networks that would make this site a lot more fun.
Everybody say “Awww…”
Now that’s one cute girl. Thanks for the submission, Ashley!
The most accurate and effective way of objectifying women (and men)
It suddenly struck me this morning that the Condorcet method of voting (which is what Babe Vs Babe uses) is superior to simply choosing a score between 1 and 10, at least when it comes to mass Internet voting. Intuitively I always knew it was a better voting system, but up until now I had never put much thought into trying to explain why. Yeah, I know I’m just slightly biased since I run this site, but hear me out….
The main problem with the “1 to 10” rating sites is that a lot of people will simply click “1” or “5” to get to the next photo. And even if they do put some honest thought into what number to rate, different people have different standards: some people will rate consistently high, most people will rate consistently low. The “1 to 10” rating sites out there that don’t have a bias term have consistently low scores for all of their photos, while the smarter ones have a bias term to scale the scores up. If they didn’t, users would get discouraged and would stop submitting their photos.
Babe Vs Babe, on the other hand, forces you to make a choice between a pair of candidates. There’s no ambiguity; one is always hotter relative to the other. The site was started on a whim as something fun to do, but if you want to get serious about it (well, as serious as one can get while gawking at hotties and rating them 
), the Condorcet method is simply a better ranking system than a numeric scoring method.
Another great thing about the Condorcet method is that it takes less brain power to simply click on the hotter of two hotties, than to assign a number between 1 and 10. Perfect for when you’re drunk or stoned off your ass. Truly, Babe Vs Babe is great mindless entertainment.
Laughing eyes
I’m constantly amazed and pleasantly surprised at the quality of submissions that Babe Vs Babe gets. Take this hottie for example….
Thanks for the fantastic submission, Seni0rita. 
At last, gender equality
Guy Vs Guy is up and running! Just click on the “I want to rate…” drop-down box at the top of the main page to pick either girls or guys.
A big “thank you” to everyone who uploaded their photos this past week!
Another gorgeous gal
Description: “My Fav Tattoo”. Huh, I quite like it too. Thanks Olivia!
How big can a website grow if it’s only run by one person?
Here’s a free plug for Markus Frind’s blog and his dating site, Plenty Of Fish. I don’t know him personally, but he’s done a fantastic job of building his website and growing it to become one of the premier destinations for free dating. If you’ve never heard of him, he shot to personal fame last June when he took a picture of his AdSense check — nearly $1 million for two months of traffic. That he was able to create and market his website on his own is even more amazing, and it’s inspiring to see. I build Babe Vs Babe entirely in my spare time (which isn’t much considering I also have a 9-5 job) and if I can get even a fraction of the eyeballs that Plenty Of Fish gets, I’ll be very happy. Markus has proven that you don’t need a lot of VC money these days to start something big.
Hey guys, submit yourselves
You may have noticed the “Submit a Photo” page now has a new option: to specify whether you’re submitting a photo of a girl or a guy. Voting for guys isn’t enabled yet, but once there are enough photos, it will be. It would be quite lame if I enabled it now — we’d just rate the same bunch of guys over and over again.
Guy Vs Guy is coming…
I’m succumbing to pressure and adding a section for rating males… I’ve been told on more than one occasion that guys are babes too, apparently.
It would be helpful if I had some more photos of guys to “seed” GuyVsGuy when it’s first released… it wouldn’t be much fun if we rated the same guys over and over again! If you’re a guy and want to see your picture up here, do me a big favor and email it to me at info [at] babevsbabe.com with your username and photo info, and I’ll put it up for you the instant GuyVsGuy is ready. C’mon, I know all of you guys want to know how well you’d rate!
