I think dating apps are a flawed concept irrespective of profit motives. They reduce men to their appearance and the most overt displays of wealth. Then they line them up against the wall, and they ask women to pick who they like best... For the men among us who will be among the most handsome and wealthiest in any given room, it works really well.

But you can become wealthy too, and then pay for a personal trainer, those expensive status signifier items and even plastic surgery if needed. Just need to work harder! /s

I actually did this and it still didn’t work. Some of us are born so genetically ugly that even modern cosmetic surgery can’t solve it. No surprise, lots of billionaires are still mediocre looking.

I interpreted that as something billionaires could afford to not care about, like good manners. But tbh. I'm not that well versed with the state of plastic surgery either. Anyway, beauty is subjective and changes over time, there's plenty of more important things to focus on :)
