I had seriously considered a site playing to that cliche. The site would always maintain a 2-1 ratio of women to men, with the women's accounts being free, and having them only be accepted into the site if they were a 7 or better. (something like top 15%)

Men's accounts would be prohibitively expensive, something like $250 a month.

The site would be promoted to women by going to clubs, bars, etc with women (on a per city basis, probably starting in NYC, Boston, etc) and giving them something of a 'golden ticket' to signing up. ie, the invitation itself would be proof of attractiveness and would an invite would therefore be desirable.

Eventually women would be approved by some sort of crowd sourcing or just editorial control.



Only problem with this is that I while I know several wealthy but less than handsome men, none of them have any trouble getting laid.


Honestly, I think the real problem is getting enough women that the site has enough value to shell out $250 a month.

I think wealthy men, even if they have no problem getting laid, will still find a lot of value in a large selection of women in a market that is artificially in their favor.
