Popularity-contests

Today I got the following mail:
Congratulations. You've been chosen for the 'Hot List'; according to our matching algorithm, you're currently one of the 2500 most desirable people on OkCupid.
The complete list is here:

We're only distributing the Hot List to the people on it--as part of our ongoing effort to pair people perfectly, we're figuring one attractive person deserves another.
Huzzah,
OkCupid

After flipping through it I was definitely left with a strong feeling of being disgusted
Is this thing turning into a meat market or was it like that all the time?
What will the next thing be? Popular-lists? We are the coolest-clubs?
Do we always need to "classify" and make life a contest?
When did dating become "nazi"?
I got the same feeling I used to get when they were picking out teams for football in highschool.
Is life supposed to be an everlasting highschool?
What happened to seeing people, not packages?
I am getting off this thing
