A new and pretty unique dating site

I caught
this story on the Daily Mail, about a dating site which will charge men up to £100k for membership and sort women based solely on attractiveness.
As condemnatory as the article and the comments are, the site's owner is blunt and refreshingly realistic.
Anyone think this business model has legs?

I think this will work.
Interent dating is one of those business models which only works at the extremes.
At the bottom end - mass market - low quality women - lots of desperate men. Business model funded by advertising and small membership fees.
At the high end - small market - high quality women - men with options. Funded by high membership fees.
The middle market will never take off - since it will be flooded by low quality men and women who ruin it for those who can go elsewhere.

I liked this paragraph .. "Any non-physical factors such as interests or level of education are not taken into account, and men can filter the women they view based on rating, with many opting not be visible to, or view themselves, any women who scored less than 90."
You can pass this to every woman. No, you religiously watching reality TV and your Master's degree in pottery are not interesting.
