"You're arguing out of both sides of your mouth. You're saying that media constructs what "attractive" means for women, and now you're saying that "attractive" is something that is inherent to a woman irrespective of media pressure."
You're pretending all people act the same to accuse me of some false argument. Some people will follow what the media says a lot, some a bit, and some not at all. The fact that local + some remote people thought those women were beautiful doesn't change the fact that media were trying to say otherwise and shove a specific profile in people's faces.
" It's not fraud or a scam"
It really is if it's dishonest to get people's money. There's legal and illegal scams, though. ;)

Also, having a long list of people who want to date you does NOT means you'd be a good model. Models exist to make the product look good, not to look good themselves. A lot of fashion models are very skinny and tall because it makes the clothes they wear look good.
> Even worse, them faking the difficulty and reward ratio on many people who might have never heard of such scams on social media might lead them to waste money on a van or loose real opportunities.
You've basically just described all of advertising and marketing. It's not fraud or a scam - it just takes much more hard work than they show. They're not deliberately lying, they're just leaving out parts of it. Just like programming is a good job with high pay except you have to spend a lot of time learning it and working hard to get the good job with high pay.
