A few I saw had verified incomes, but the majority were voted in by the rest of the "pool." That's one of the reasons I was shocked, but I guess even rich men can be desperate. My guess (and it's only a guess) is like all dating services, Luxy is no exception to the gender ratio problem. They're probably much more lax on approving female membership to make it somewhat "worth it" for men that pay for premium features. IIRC, paying for a membership can also get you instantly approved. I wouldn't be surprised if a ham doesn't get voted through, but admins pass her anyway just to be able to say "we have [number] women waiting for you!"
