in a way maybe, but in a way even personality can be tied to this - typically people, especially those sucfessful in business, have a very specific personality that is not very compatible with many but others with that same personality because they will understand. Who will best understand the struggles, stresses, mentality, and priorities of successful people? other successful people. There is a chance compatibility could be found between someone with high career success vs. an average job, but they're not as high. so by looking from a pool of only successful people, others who are successful (under the definition of career) have a much higher probability of finding compatibility quickly and easily.
+Ayano Aishi No they weren't, stop being ignorant!! You were also made to land from falling off of a roof, it's called GRAVITY, and does not mean you don't get hurt...
TenZEDin He just needs to date short women then. What I consider "short" for a guy is probably very different than what like a 5'5"/6" girl would consider short lol
The whole concept is pretentious, and I can't believe how the founder is defending it. Finding a match shouldn't be limited to how wealthy/intelligent/powerful someone is. It should be about truly loving someone.
+Stupid Elephant Though I am 100% not someone who'd get accepted into the app, you can't really hate on its exclusive criteria. There are other dating apps that target a specific crowd, such as Black People Meet and Christian Mingle, that target blacks looking for other blacks and christians looking for other christians. so I suppose it's fair a successful (and yes, perhaps pretentious) person should seek another like him/herself. There are plenty of other apps for "normal" people like Zach, Daysha, Jen or myself XD What I don't agree with is how the app defends rejecting someone by insulting them. THAT is very wrong.
+Adriane Lee Yes, I suppose you're right. I can understand people looking for others like them. However, if a person on the website is looking for others in the same "elite class" purely because of pride or something like "I'm too good for those poor people", I don't think that's a good way to view dating.
You will get a free country club membership, because who doesn't like a free spa day? You will have to wear alot more polo shits with below the knee plaid/khaki shorts. Is it worth it? Yes. Will you wanna die? Probably.
+Teeges Donnelly There are other apps for that. This was created to pair successful individuals, eg. power couples. The men on this app want women who don't need sugar daddies.
There are free websites to find sugar daddies if you're interested. The sugar daddies have to pay, but the sugar babies don't. I forget the name bc I used one a long time ago, but I'm sure you google them.
It's meant to find good connections for ones business or career, it seems. It also keeps creepers from going after people who aren't looking for a one-night-stand and are actually looking for a partner at their level.
Normally I'd respect that, but LinkedIn seems to serve the general public just fine with business/career connections. Idk this just seems like an app for haughty recluses. Anyone with true ambition and initiative likely wouldn't even be on a dating app. You approach people in the real world, make connections through friends, etc. An app like this just further segregates people with classist and ridiculous standards that seem rather arbitrary to me. I mean, I don't care if people use it. It's just a matter of thinking about what kind of people you're going to find on this app, anyway.
Agkdhsi that's what I thought too. Seems like this app is really exclusive and not just in the bougie way. Like I imagine it's all a bunch of straight white people... And then just nick omg
+Jade Nguyen They were saying short Jewish men were already in abundance on the app, not that they didn't let them in. They probably let the black guy in because they don't have a large black client base. They're trying to diversify it or something, add more of a selection for the current app users. Also, Jewish people are generally considered white.
+-Ourni- being Jewish also constitutes part of your ethnicity, not just religion. And what you're saying is insensitive and antisemitic. That's all we're trying to tell you
I wouldn't want to date anyone who was in The League because it just seems _too_ elite, you know? If this was the Hunger Games they'd be the Capitol people sponsoring 12-year-olds to fight to the death and that weirds me out a little.
+AmateurCoding "too Jewish" that's discrimination and general bigotry from rich douches. you can tell the general personalities of the clientèle when they reject based on being "too Jewish". ☕🐸
+Sarah Frost I wouldn't bother listening to you either, but it's not because you're a girl, but because you offered nothing to the conversation except an a childish attack on a username.
Hey Jen, when you get tired of being single literally go to the comment section of any video you've ever been in and there's hundreds of people ready to drop everything and marry you.
+BitchesLoveCoffee I am pretty sure that in past Episodes Eugene has expressed disinterest in dating, he isn't ready to commit. I am sure they might have asked him and he could've turned it down.
Hm. This app sounds like uppity people looking for other uppity people. Im out here trying to love the inside and not worrying about the outside, and this dating app is doing the opposite lol. But to each its own. If it finds you happiness...
+Sarah Miller she's just so cute & genuine! i feel like i could eat a pint of ice cream in a parked car in a target parking lot with her w/ absolutely no judgement 👍
I had this whole post about why this app isn't as pretentious as it sounds, but its not important. Nick, PLEASE, do not sell yourself short. You are not just "black" (I won't say "gay", because you didn't. Only the comments did). Your about me isn't just his career, but you've detailed your personality and hobbies. Its good to identify with these labels, because it makes you relatable but never put yourself down because you've pigeonholed yourself with them. I can think of several reasons based of what is shown in this video why you made it into the League. PLEASE. DO. NOT. SELL. YOURSELF. SHORT.
basically one of the most pretentious things the internet has presented us with
yup
+Resh Murali RIGHT ON
+Resh Murali
Exactly. Pretentious and exclusionary.
👏👏👏
They should be glad they didn't get in coz THAT is the problem with LA.
If the founder girl applies to her app, she will be rejected as too blonde and basic.
LOL frrrr
+ZIQ Savage.
Not really. She's very distinguishable from anyone in any group, so really only the "blonde" part was correct.
LOL but sadly your right....to many blonde peeps......
+ZIQ Damn, that burn is gonna leave a welt...
I like how the CEO was careful not to ever use the word "wealthy" in the criterias she listed.
I mean, I got in and I'm not wealthy.
raney150 wow lucky
KWZ eh, it isn't really that good. I stopped using it because it is boring.
I get what they're trying to do with this app but everything about it seems so douchey
+Athenathe SheWolf Yeah, it kind of reeks of highfalutin superiority garbage :uT
it really does
Totally agree.
in a way maybe, but in a way even personality can be tied to this - typically people, especially those sucfessful in business, have a very specific personality that is not very compatible with many but others with that same personality because they will understand.

It would be hilarious if he got declined.

IS THAT CAT OK?
IKR
I think they added the sound affect 😂
It's fine, cats were made to land from falling off of a roof of a house. ;)
+Ayano Aishi from a specific height, yes. Just thrown randomly? NOT COOL, ZAC
+Ayano Aishi No they weren't, stop being ignorant!!
You were also made to land from falling off of a roof, it's called GRAVITY, and does not mean you don't get hurt...
but Zack is such a cutie, how is he single???
He's 5'6
+Juli-Yashka it takes more than looks to be in relationship
+TenZEDin yeah well I'm 5'1" so i don't see the problem.... I don't see a lot of things. Too short.
katie f
I'm just saying some women don't like short men.
TenZEDin He just needs to date short women then. What I consider "short" for a guy is probably very different than what like a 5'5"/6" girl would consider short lol
The whole concept is pretentious, and I can't believe how the founder is defending it. Finding a match shouldn't be limited to how wealthy/intelligent/powerful someone is. It should be about truly loving someone.

Why do multi millionaires marry others? Success is a class within itself.
+Stupid Elephant Yeah, I wonder why she is single... :/
They must lead very boring lives lolol
Zach, when you get tired of being single, contact me. 😊
You're gorgeous!
Zach, you'd be a fool to not take her up on her offer.

Clicked for Zack, stayed for Jen
I don't know about anybody else, but I clicked on this for the cat. The app itself just sounds like snobbery.
+yasashii89 Yes!! The cat looked so cute in the pic, I wish they showed him more :(
its called click bait i think
yasashii89 same
MiyukiYuki ikr! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
yasashii89 me too oml😂😂😂
"Show me Oprah Winfrey"
"I LOVE BREAD!"
😂😂 That part had me dying!
This is probably the most obnoxious thing I have ever seen
+Lilly “blackrose18” Park IKR A FRICKIN' WAITLIST?!
I thought it would be an interesting app, but the reason for rejecting was absurd.
and racist. Too many Jewish members?!!??!!
Serena Singh I'm pretty sure Jewish isn't a race, correct me if I'm wrong but it's still a pretty stupid app. So stuck up and prissy.
No, you are correct. I meant them as two separate statements :)
Honestly if I got in I would purely use it to find a sugar daddy
+Teeges Donnelly legit
You will get a free country club membership, because who doesn't like a free spa day? You will have to wear alot more polo shits with below the knee plaid/khaki shorts. Is it worth it? Yes. Will you wanna die? Probably.

You'd think that ambitious people going somewhere with their lives wouldn't need a dating app to find a suitable partner.
It's meant to find good connections for ones business or career, it seems. It also keeps creepers from going after people who aren't looking for a one-night-stand and are actually looking for a partner at their level.
Normally I'd respect that, but LinkedIn seems to serve the general public just fine with business/career connections. Idk this just seems like an app for haughty recluses. Anyone with true ambition and initiative likely wouldn't even be on a dating app. You approach people in the real world, make connections through friends, etc.
An app like this just further segregates people with classist and ridiculous standards that seem rather arbitrary to me. I mean, I don't care if people use it. It's just a matter of thinking about what kind of people you're going to find on this app, anyway.
A lot of business people travel, so it's hard for them to find a partner. In airline magazines you'll see multiple professional matchmaker services.
why? the world is crowded and not everyone wants the same thing. it's not unusual at all
i actually think its harder. I know a lot of ambitious people who can't find a partner. mostly women.
This app sounds so pretentious
ehhidontknow elitist as well
WAIT....... JEN IS SINGLE!!??!?!?!?!?!?!? **runs down to Buzzfeed HQ**

I have never rolled my eyes and been disgusted so much in my life when the founder was talking
Yes you have
"it's tinder for elites" Did you mean: it's tinder for snobs
When you get rejected for being too jewish...
The better question is if you can get kicked out for posting crappier pics once you get in.
'Too Jewish' tf does that mean
how anti-Semitic is that
Agkdhsi that's what I thought too. Seems like this app is really exclusive and not just in the bougie way. Like I imagine it's all a bunch of straight white people... And then just nick omg
+Jade Nguyen
They were saying short Jewish men were already in abundance on the app, not that they didn't let them in. They probably let the black guy in because they don't have a large black client base. They're trying to diversify it or something, add more of a selection for the current app users.
Also, Jewish people are generally considered white.
Sorry that they have an opinion, like if others didnt get in why would he get in. Even if he is a jew like calm down
+-Ourni- being Jewish also constitutes part of your ethnicity, not just religion. And what you're saying is insensitive and antisemitic. That's all we're trying to tell you
Jade Nguyen so if I became jewish like in two days... Hm Im sure that wouldnt change my ethnicity.
This app would be perfect for Trump. It's for rich & ridiculous people who think they're better than everyone else.
+LanaBanana or people that don't want to date someone that got the wrong major and in debt and wants someone else to take the blame for it
+LanaBanana yeah, seriously, how infuriating. I have no words. Just... awful.
Trump is so rich he doesn't need a dating app. He can just walk up to anyone and Ask them to mary him because he's so rich.
Me: Okay now just submit the form anddd
Dating App: You clealy have no place in the romance world, please take a free cat.
+Nightcore Haven (Bella) I'd take that cat, romance or no.
I'll take a free cat over a man any damn day of the week
Nightcore Haven I want the cat, actually no. I want 1000000000000000+ cats.
I'd rather have the cat 😂
i want a free cat
so it's basically a dating app for pretentious people and the sugardaddies that want to find them
+acexkeikai (*hmmm starts taking notes so that I can get a sugardaddy to sponsor my bills)
No, it's a dating app for people that has or want to become something more than a low life rat living amongst poor people
I wouldn't want to date anyone who was in The League because it just seems _too_ elite, you know? If this was the Hunger Games they'd be the Capitol people sponsoring 12-year-olds to fight to the death and that weirds me out a little.
this comment is so over the top and i really love it
This should be top comment
Jen is cutting a cake with floss.

😂😂
+Aydan Smith It's the best! Way less crumbs and no falling apart. Unscented, unwaxed only though.
OVERCOMING THE AVAILABILITY HEURISTIC #APPSYCH2K16
We need a follow up video on Nick's journey in The League!!
We do I'm invested
Mikayla Droz I too are invested
I love Jen, "I didn't find a dog but I found a cake". That's my kind of girl 😂
That app seems like it's full of narcissist people that think they are the center of the universe
"high achieving and ambituous".....i wanna say shallow and trustfund kids...but that won't go over well
You've been accepted into my League, Zach.
The founder seemed super unpleasant. I think you guys are fine lol
+Alexis Bragg I agree
Social Discrimination?
Oh no, its just a 'community'
At least Tinder is looks based, while this is just sad. It's like tinder, but for lonely rich, racist douchebags. -_-
+Dick Bütt Because all successful, upper class people are racist right?
+AmateurCoding "too Jewish" that's discrimination and general bigotry from rich douches. you can tell the general personalities of the clientèle when they reject based on being "too Jewish". ☕🐸
+Sarah Frost I wouldn't bother listening to you either, but it's not because you're a girl, but because you offered nothing to the conversation except an a childish attack on a username.
Dick Bütt it was a joke why you getting so angry lmao
This app sounds like its full of weird boring people with too high self esteem
+xLightsOn and Patrick Bateman-type serial killers let's be real.
+xLightsOn and very very pretentious ones too
And Donald Trump. Don't forget the Trumper Dumper aka every dating app ever.
So basically, tinder for people who feel like they're better than (or deserve better than) people on tinder.
So a snobby app didn't accept them. Good for them. Sorry for the guy they did accept.
I would rather lie on my bed,eat chips and watch Game of thrones.
Thank you.
+CaptainMary That is literally my idea of an accomplished relationship
+Matthew Bateman IKR?😄😄

is that RICE BALL??? the cat ?

it's delightfully obvious where your priorities lie XD
The best part of the video was Zach with that adorable cat!
+mintje solael The only thing I care about in this video is that cat. It's adorableblebleh- ohmagad!
anyone Know maybe Riceball's instagram ??
I don't like that app or the woman doing the interview.
The blonde or creator probably would have got rejected ... I can just imagine the app saying "Too blonde and basic" 😂😂
Hey Jen, when you get tired of being single literally go to the comment section of any video you've ever been in and there's hundreds of people ready to drop everything and marry you.

I notice they didnt put Eugene up...
Very sad :,(
He would've probably gotten in though. NOT THAT I AGREE WITH WHO DIDNT GET IN, but come on..Eugene...
Rumour is that Eugene is dating Quinta...
+BitchesLoveCoffee I am pretty sure that in past Episodes Eugene has expressed disinterest in dating, he isn't ready to commit. I am sure they might have asked him and he could've turned it down.
+Alice Cooper I always thought Eugene was lowkey gay

Hey CAL😂
+Hillary Calderon YA THAT LMAOOO
I like your profile picture.
+Guess who? Thanks I like yours too
The League: you may have an Ivy League degree and a 100K job however you are still single AF!
It supposed to be for high achievers but it's judged on how good they look in their pictures 🤔🤔🤔
The fact they rejected Jen makes me hate The League 200% more than when I started this video.
Hm. This app sounds like uppity people looking for other uppity people. Im out here trying to love the inside and not worrying about the outside, and this dating app is doing the opposite lol. But to each its own. If it finds you happiness...
Founder of app: There's not really been a community for ambitious, high achieving--
Me: Douches. I see what this app is playing at.
I'm laughing so hard that Nick got in. He's great😂😂😂
Can there be another buzzfeed video posted with other buzzfeed people trying to get in? I want to see more and see if they get in or not.
I want to know if anyone has ever approached this woman and explained to her that she is not on the same level as her clients...
3:48 Nicks profile picture looks so good!
This is the most pretentious app ever.
Also Amanda needs to sit on a few, just too get over herself.
This sounds like a dating site for people who think they're better than everybody else tbh.
Of COURSE nick is in! - he's gorgeous, has a great sense of humor, and has an awesome personality! Yay nick!
He threw the cat?!
Haha no matter how Exclusive your dating app of choice is, you're still single.
Jen is quickly becoming my favorite Buzzfeed employee.
of course, she's the best :)
+Sarah Miller she's just so cute & genuine! i feel like i could eat a pint of ice cream in a parked car in a target parking lot with her w/ absolutely no judgement 👍
Nessa Exactly! I want to be her friend!
'We didn't find a dog but, we did find a cake!'😂
That LOOK she gave Zac at 0:30
xD
This sweeping motion of her eyes judging every inch of him and finding it unsatisfactory ... Ahahaha
Poor Zac ...
Lol, I saw that too.
this app sounds horrible..."friends" on social media = quality mate?
I had this whole post about why this app isn't as pretentious as it sounds, but its not important.
Nick, PLEASE, do not sell yourself short. You are not just "black" (I won't say "gay", because you didn't. Only the comments did). Your about me isn't just his career, but you've detailed your personality and hobbies. Its good to identify with these labels, because it makes you relatable but never put yourself down because you've pigeonholed yourself with them. I can think of several reasons based of what is shown in this video why you made it into the League. PLEASE. DO. NOT. SELL. YOURSELF. SHORT.
No one is going to mention how beautiful that cat is?
Soooo pretty! I love cats😻😻😻😻
same XD
I remember she's rice ball the munchkin cat
I barely feel accepted on tinder... I don't think I'll even try the league 😅😂
single AF should officially be a segment on buzzfeed lol
About me: " I'm rich"
YOU'RE IN!
We didn't find a dog but we found a cake... Hahah yeah I mean same thing I love both 😂
We have no statistics on cake, but assume they work.
CEO looks like Nicole Arbour, that can't be good.
"Tinder for elites" literally sounds like an idea Donald Trump would come up with. I'm baffled that anyone can pitch that idea with a straight face.
I dont get why Zack is single, he seems attractive in my eyes, and also funny & sweet. 😂
damn why didn't I try to add Jen on facebook when she was going for the indiscriminate acceptance method
daysha being like "im over it. i just wanna know." is me towards life lol
zach with a cat... my dream has come
