This is probably simultaneously one of the funniest and most offensive startup review requests I've seen on HN.
The best part is that the site is really well done from what I gathered with a cursory glance. The main issue I see is that it's basically built to attract gold-digging whores, which is fine, but why would any "established men" pay for this? I would imagine they have no trouble finding these kinds of women in real life.
I know a couple of "established men" who find their golddiggers on the internet. Think "rich guy in south jersey/upstate NY", not "rich guy in NYC".
Another problem I see is that many golddiggers try to market themselves as nice girls (and perhaps even perceive themselves as such) [1]. Going to a site like this kind of makes things more explicit than the participants want it to be, no?
[1] Men tend to be more honest with themselves in such matters, probably because self-deluding men never get laid.

You've hit upon the problem.
The real niche here is "Rich but extremely socially inept men, slightly ugly but still shallow gold diggers".
So basically the exact opposite of the picture of the couple on the site.
