Question is, how do you decide on the top % of men without falling back onto "shallow" factors like classical good looks or income?

  You don't.

    And therein lies the age old problem of online dating. Why would a rich, good looking guy need a "hook up" service? Tom Brady's mistress, or mistresses, are likely to look a lot better than any of the women on Pure. There is even a joke about it I hear a lot when speaking to online dating startup guys... "...What do statistics tell us about the rich, good looking guys on an online dating service? That they are liars..."

      I think that for short-term encounters "rich" is a proxy for sanity. It means they have jobs that bring in good money; which means they need to be integrated to the society to some degree and wouldn't have too much time to be focused on stalking someone. It also means that they have something important to lose and have an active interest in not freaking a woman out. "educated" could be a substitute for "rich" - and the educated, good looking, but not very rich people would be ideal for dating sites.

  It'll back onto "shallow" factors anyways. Even on "traditional" dating sites the vast, vast, vast majority of messaging occurs based almost entirely on looks. Websites that market themselves as soulmate-finding services haven't solved this, I highly doubt a hookup site is going to do it.

  You really on the factors that work, as determined by the satisfaction of the female users. If that qualifies to you as "shallow," then so be it.
