I don't disagree, but do you realize that it's the same for women? Most of what women do to look beautiful is actually about what other women find attractive. (I don't mean that everyone's closeted.)

You really think other women are the ones who demand women diet, get breast implants, wear pushup bras, wear shapewear, put on makeup, get botox and all manner of "anti-aging" procedures, teeter in heels etc. Women invented those beauty standards?

Largely yes, this was invented by women. Men want a woman who looks nice and isn't fat. That's about it. Men have no idea what is shapewear, who uses botox and where it's used, and half the time they don't even know if a woman is wearing makeup or not. Same with shoes -- men only notice a woman's shoes if she's having difficulty walking in them, that's it.

I know this is a small sample size, but when my wife goes to work (where 90% is female, including all of management) she does her hair, makeup, etc. When she hangs out with me during the weekend she doesn't.

Men like women with big breasts, youthful looking faces, and smaller waists.

The fact that they don't notice when these features are natural or not does not mean they don't care about these things
Men may like those things but women without them still partner up.

Did anyone else read the article?
"Josh Brito, a tech entrepreneur in Washington, D.C., recently signed up for Bring Me Bae, a matchmaking “bounty” platform. Clients choose how much they are willing to pay for a match. The reward is displayed below their profile picture. It looks a bit like a wanted poster.

...
Potential matches for clients are vetted by the Bring Me Bae team before any introduction is made. The reward money is put up by the clients and held in a separate account before it is disbursed to the person who made the successful match.

The minimum bounty price is $10,000. Mr. Brito decided on $25,000, though he debated whether offering that much might send the wrong signal. “I worried it was an ick, like this guy has to pay that much for a date,” he said. But he also felt it was sending a signal about how seriously he was taking the process. “If I’m not doing everything I can, then I can’t complain about not getting the result I want,” he said.

The considerable bounty hasn’t yielded any matches yet, but Mr. Brito is optimistic it will pay off in ways that defy measurement."

Just, wow. Sounds a whole lot like this guy got scammed.

True. But that's like saying women like tall guys with a full head of hair but short and bald guys still partner up. The women with more desirable features have an edge, which is why some women try to obtain them through artificial means. Those who can pull off natural looking surgery might have more men interested in them.

However, some women have taken it too far, and everything is exaggerated. At this point some of them are doing it for themselves not necessarily for men. But some are indeed seeking to attract male attention.

Because what woman wouldn't want a guy who apparently thinks it's a good idea to spend $25,000 on a "bounty" matchmaker. I'm sure he makes great financial decisions throughout his life
