> Rich people investing in unproductive stores of value
Rich people get rich by investing in productive enterprises, not unproductive ones. It stands to reason that rich people are quite a bit better than average at finding productive things to invest in.

Despite you getting some bad feedback on this comment, I think you're right and I bumped on that phrase too.
This reminds me of a billboard campaign to hire developers that ran a few years ago, and featured a few SEs, including one woman considered attractive. A lot of people said things along the lines of "this isn't what a real SE looks like", along with many... less nice things. Of course, she actually was a full stack engineer at that company. This prompted her to start a campaign (#ILookLikeAnEngineer). For more details read her blog: https://medium.com/the-coffeelicious/you-may-have-seen-my-face-on-bart…
Note to some commenters: I'm not saying that you can't tell a fake profile from a not fake profile. I'm saying that a sentence like "they look more like models than software engineers" is implicitly hinting that software engineers are not attractive females. That's the objection that I believe teux was raising, and it's a valid one.
