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.
