Why do vanilla apps(Tinder/Bumble) heavily favor women while Sugar (opposite)
Vanilla apps
My friend Will signed up for Tinder and Bumble; he got 0 matches. He's 5'11, mid 20's and graduated\ from a right college, and occasionally plays sports. I would say he is 7.9. He invested 1k dollars in "dating products," "Coaches," "Professional photoshoots,' and paid for "Boosts." All it did is he managed to get 10-15 matches at most half of them were of girls plugging their IG and the other halfway below average girls. There was only one girl who was a six from Couchsurfing looking for a place to stay. My friend thought it wasn't worth it and decided to delete both apps. Despite paying them for boosts, he goes nothing.
Sugar Apps
Will learned about sugar apps, and he decided to give it a try. He copies/pasted his detailed profile from Tinder to Sugar Dating. Only adding how much he was making and his family's wealth. He expected to get a bit more matches. Instead, he got 100+matches. With girls messaging him to meet up, he thought it was insane! All his "dating gurus" had taught him some BS that would take him years to "get good." He noticed that one of the girls was the EXACT GIRL from Bumble he liked. He went on a date with her and ended up hooking. She was neither an SB nor an Escort. But a girl who had recently signed up and was checking it out. He ended up dating the girl and did not continue his subscription.
Middle Ground
I feel there should be apps where guys like Will can pay $100 per month to "Skip the line," so to speak. For him, this money is very little. I know the purpose of Sugar apps is no to target guys like my friend. Instead, the problem is that free apps are oversaturated with lower quality guys.
What do you guys think?

The second is a site where men look for hookers.
Its a very different dynamic
It is the difference between paying for pussy or begging for pussy. Always easier to pay.
Social proof has always gone a long way in dating. It's why lots of people still meet through friends or work.
Thanks, l'm glad What do you mean? You mean like adding a sugar dating section where SD's and SB's could meet/mingle? That'll be very cool since I always wanted to meet dancers.
I think you have very insightful posts. But I'll have to disagree with you on this one. In seeking here is a "favorite me" section where if the SD and the SB each like each other it will say a match. Moreover, when a SD has a strong profile the SB's will favorite his profile. Hence the case of my friend he got tons of favorites and it was easy for him to start messaging, the girls also messaged him with "hey" or "what's up"
Tinder is a hookup site and SA is a sugar site.
The girls on Tinder are most likely going to be pushing their paid content - to make money. This is a hookup site - where both parties are interested in getting together.
SA adds money into the criteria for the guy. This makes the guy - if he has money - immediately match with a good number of girls simply because of money.
I'm not sure what you are getting at. I see myself as an advocate if my friend Will is getting no results from an app, what I'm advocating is for him to delete it and move to a place that give him results. I'm less interested in trying to figure out what's the "right way" relationships ought to be. Maybe the "right way" is for most guys to get nothing I'm I uspposed to accept. Also I'm not complaining I'm merely advocating for friends to, "Go where they are treated best."
That's one way of looking at it.
Although women on dating sites are usually very undesirable
