Money can buy a lot of things like fancy clothes, houses and cars, but love? A new dating app is requiring its users to have at least a six-figure salary. “It works a lot like Tinder, except this is Tinder minus the poor people,” said Darren Shuster, spokesperson for Luxy, a dating app geared towards the one percent. “I would describe the average member as somebody who makes a lot of money,” Shuster told KPIX 5. “Multiple cars, art collections, big fancy mansions.”

But but I thought SF was all about diversity and inclusion. The funny thing the income requirement only applies to guys joining. The people behind the app claim that women need to be attractive, not sure who determines who makes the cut, but no income floor applies. There are already gold digging sites, for example, Sugar Daddies, for those dating pools.

In order to join, men must make at least $250,000 a year (which must be verified with tax records), and women have to be attractive.

This is glorified prostitution for women who don't want to be called hookers and men who don't want to be called Johns.

Easy to understand. $250,000 a year, minimum, makes a man very attractive.

No sane man or woman wants a mate who's either too stupid or too lazy to make a least a *decent* living.I'm a guy and have always believed that when a woman insists on a guy driving a Mercedes,vacationing in Rio and dining at $200 per guest restaurants she's very probably a gold digger.OTOH,there's *nothing* wrong with that same woman insisting on a guy who drives a late model Ford,vacations in Florida and can afford regular visits to Outback and maybe even an occasional visit to Ruth's Chris.

The ability and willingness to be at least a reasonably good provider has been a reasonable standard for women looking for a mate since the dawn of civilization.

Correction. It is geared toward rich MEN. A man doesn’t care one bit about how much a woman makes. If she’s hot, he just doesn’t care if she’s broke. I certainly don’t.

Well, there’s a challenge. In a city where they were giving sex change operations to city employees, in a city where they’re bound to have the highest per capita average of fags, queens, dikes and pedophiles. Why would anybody want to go on a date?

“This is glorified prostitution for women who don’t want to be called hookers and men who don’t want to be called Johns.”

Or a site for women attractive enough to get a very rich guy. And rich guys that could get such women. Personality is important but desirable people can choose from people that also have looks/money to go with it.

The danger today is that women have the power to separate a rich man’s resources from himself (with divorce law) so it does create huge dishonesty.

I’ve been flashy at times and dated such women for fun but would never marry one that knows I have money and makes less than I do.
