A Stanford Grad is going to roll out a new application for those who want to do serious
only app dating in fact she's already received 2.1 million dollars in order develop this
dating service now it's referred to as the league and it's very similar to Tinder although
instead of dealing with a bunch of people that might not be your type the League focuses
specifically on ambitious educated and successful individuals so let me give you some more it's
very hoity toity the league which just raised a 2.1 million seed round is operating with
4,500 beta users in San Francisco the goal is to make a more selective Tinder that's
only for the most interesting and motivated single people in the cities around the world
I do declare I am not only interesting I'm motivated in fact I'm motivated to be interesting
so the developer here is Amanda Bradford and she is an ivy league graduate and she's saying
look this doesn't have anything to do with someone's wealth we're not looking for people
who are really wealthy but we want people who are ambitious because if you go on an
app like Tinder often times you get people who are not so ambitious well they're motivated
to get in your pants yes exactly and it's also meant for people who are looking a long
lasting relationship as opposed to a thing it's genius it's genius cause they've created
they've turned tinder which is open to anybody and they made it an exclusive job no that's
not genius it's genius it's recipe for disaster first alienating people this sounded when
I read this immediately pretty woman but on the digital age like this is going to turn
into young girls who looking for sugar daddies and call girls saying I want to say that these
guys can chose I'm interested I'm motivated and that's the reason that you're going to
find love ridiculous that interesting I disagree with both of you but they're going but again
they've created there's already a waiting list I mean that's the genius part of this
is that people will want to get into this club all it is the Jonathon club for getting
laid yeah I mean it's just and those work what's the Jonathon club it's just a club
that has in Santa Monica that's the only reason I know why it exists so I've been would excuse
more female which means that more young girls who are interested interesting and motivated
guy are going on this site to find someone of that caliber I have so many girls that
I went to high school and this is not all females at all because I support females but
they went to colleges to look for a rich husband and that pissed me off because I'm like you're
and educated smart woman motivated why are you going there to find some rich husband
and now they have an app where they can be lazy and do it at home I don't think it's
good for the world I just think it's genius of Amanda Bradford so let me jump I want to
give you guys a few details on how this app works and then I want to share my two cents
so with tinder it's unlimited right you can literally sit there for hours and swipe and
swipe and swipe it's endless depending on which city you live in if you're in L.A. that's
how it works in this case apparently the app has a happy hour of 5:00 PM and at 5:00 PM
you get a new batch of users right and it's only a handful of users that you can either
reject or match up with ok so that's some more information since November the app has
paired 2,000 resulting in 19 couples that's not a great success rate at all horrible I
wouldn't advertise that I want to know how many out of that are hook ups OK yes so I
want to know that as well but I think that statistic right there speaks to how messed
up our priorities are right so I did the tinder thing I met a lot of really terrible terrible
guys I did it's true but you support guys lik he supports 3exactly I support men no
but but it's funny because I remember a lot of the guy that I met that I didn't like the
ones I disliked the most I should say looked really good on paper they were the ambiguous
ones they were the ones with the successful career they were the educated ones and I'd
be like yeah this guys on my level that's way I would think oh and then I'd go out with
them and they were dicks so basing your relationship on how ambiguous someone is or how successful
they are I think is a really unfair way or really bad way of finding love agreed yeah
ok so I have a different view than all of you ok so I get why they do this right so
in the these circles and that's why she didn't raise $750,000 she raised 2.1 million I mean
it was oversubscribed I mean 5 of her Stanford professors jumped in it they were like I'll
give you money because to them in their circle look I mean we call them hoity toity or whatever
they think I want a quality person right I don't want a tinder and have some jerk-off
come by and say hey yo hey wants up dude you want to hook up that's what they all usually
do so to them this makes all the sense in the world at the same time it's funny they
their inside their bubble that they don't get how it looks to the rest of us right yeah
right that they don't get how it looks to the rest of us right to the rest of us you
guys are I mean like it looks I doesn't look I mean please this is the league of extraordinary
dicks and we don't want to associate with you people we're going to be up in Elysium
or whatever they are right and so when you swipe it says I do declare so guys it doesn't
good but at the same time look what does she care what does she care if it turn out as
Ben says and it gets kind of elite and people get into that excludes people use it and it
makes money it's exclusive it's an exclusive dating serve and it's not a lot different
than deciding what bar you're going to go to those guys are scummy I don't want to go
I want to go to Wall Street I want to go the bar there yeah where they don't be scummy
we've got reputable guys all those guys are scum you know it's ridiculous but I don't
think it's for hookers, though I don't think it's for sugar daddies and stuff like that
give it change give it a chance I donít site actually turns out to be that way I don't
think any of these dating sites started off but then eventually people are like oh well
here's dick or here's this and then eventually it goes there so you send one dick pic and
something so the but said but we did the story this week about the sugar daddies site yes
we did seek your angle this is a flat out sugar daddy site already that's why I think
there are plenty of those out there already I think these are people who are really trying
to stay inside their own bubble they like their bubble and I think that they genuinely
do want a I don't think they are looking to hook up maybe some of them are looking to
hook up but when you're starting to focus on like look my mindset of hooking up is oh
is hem ambitious enough it's is he attractive and he is Latino right but I pretty that's
not what they're looking but in this case they care about things that are going to lead
to you know a successful again to be fair to them I think that they think like well
I don't want a guy who I can't talk and so I went to Stanford and he went to Dartmouth
and we you know both took humanities classes maybe we'll have better conversation right
or whatever it's so like I don't think they have bad intent I just think that it looks
a little ugly to the outside world it does but we've also framed it that way I'm impressed
with the initiative here it was such an obvious thing to do in a sense I like this one thing
that is said in the article here they acceptable algorithm the league uses scans social networks
to ensure applicants are in the right age group and they are career oriented that doesn't
mean they have to be ivy league graduates who work for a big time first but they should
have accomplished something so you're just not looking for slacks look at the business
we're in it could take you 20 to 30 years to get that peak it doesn't mean that we are
any less motivated so now does this algorithm but me out because I'm not In a certain bracket
or because on Instgram I also like to post photos of me having a beer in my Speedo you're
on Oprah's network you look great in a suit you're in you're doing all right cause if
you go my Instagram I'm in Speedos and I'm names all the time what's your instagram
