Raya vs The League?

Recently had a long term relationship fall apart, looking to venture beyond the usual Tinder/Hinge since it's not working out for me. I've heard of more exclusive/upscale apps like Raya and the League - looking for any insights on either from current users.

I've heard that both basically only take attractive/rich people - for what it's worth when I was in college and during my analyst years I was at a top frat at a hypertarget and signed to a Tier 2-ish modelling agency (Select/DNA/IMG/ONE, not as good as Wilhelmina/Ford). I'm also 6'3 and in phenomenal shape due to weightlifting and being a part of a run club in West Village. Candidly, I'd rate myself a 9/10 in terms of attractiveness and most of my female friends agree as well. I'm currently in my early to mid 30s and a PM at a widely-recognized pod shop which should give me some leverage on the career/net worth side when it comes to these apps.

I have a very specific type and I'm wondering which app I would fare better on. I'm looking for runway models that are between 5'10 to 6'0 (roughly 180-185cm), preferably WASP although German/French/Austrian/Dutch/Nordic descent is okay too, with a large social media presence/following and comes from intergenerational wealth. 

Looking forward to your responses.

My ex was around 5'10.5, 115lb and looked a lot like Kate Olivia Markowitz (of NEXT Management, D Model Agency and ONE Management, I think she opened for Francisco Cancino in NYFW '22) if that helps with visualizing the caliber of women I'm aiming for.

 

I’d imagine the caliber of girls you’re looking for would not put themselves on a dating app, probably need to start frequenting events where these types of women frequent. Monaco F1 weekend, Cannes film festival, Wimbledon, Melbourne horse races, davos, art basel Singapore,for models MET gala obviously, and Milan/paris/london FW which happen in September. HNWI social circuit basically, easily researchable 

when in doubt palms out
 

I'm pretty active in fashion events in New York since I used to be a model, my modelling agency and model friends still keeps me in the loop. I don't really have the time to go travel around the world to Monaco/Singapore/Milan/Paris though.
