I mean, it appears to be a private sex/fetish club. That's not exactly surprising IMO.

I was referring to the ... asymmetry in those rules. It is clear that when they screen for "esthetic appeal" and "professional status", those have different weights for different genders. That's the creepy kind of private sex/fetish club, not the cool kind.

Duh? If the "professional status" metric was applied equally to both genders, then the club would be 90% men, which is the gender ratio you want for a different kind of sex club.

Seriously? I mean the implication is that men are screened for wealth and women for attractiveness. The relative weights between wealth and attractiveness differ along gender lines. As in: rich men buy their way in to a club where they can sleep with, or at least look at, attractive women. As in: there is a hooker/john power dynamic at play here.
I don't mean to be insulting, I honestly thought I was being subtle in a fun, snide and understandable way but apparently I was not.
