Id love to hear how this post is sexist.
Having too many rewards aside, im really interested to see how this is in any way sexist and demeaning to women.

Sexist is probably not the right word, more like objectifying woman, I wouldn’t want my daughter sending him pics in DM for example. It isn’t a good look for the trending page, it was funny seeing the responses.
Objectifying? Humans are sexual beings, this is nothing more then playing upon basic human instinct.
An attractive woman attracts attention more easily then a unattractive one. Thats just human nature.
Exactly why lets say, Victoria Angels arent obese unattractive women.
There was nothing disrespectful here, the was nothing sexist here. Simply someone tapping into human nature and theres absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Your outrage is missplaced. If the women aspect of this post outraged you then you should probably move that outrage and flag "human nature" not the guy using it as a legit marketing tactic.
Sorry but i find this white knight, PC bulshit tied into the collective outrage ridiculous and honestly pathetic when you realize the hypocrisy behind these flags.

Question do you have a daughter? If so what narrative do you want to reinforce in the world she lives in?
What values are you reinforcing here?
That sexuality doesnt exist? That attractive people dont exist? That we shouldnt make the distinction between the "pretty" and the "ugly".
That people shouldnt use their physical attributes to their advantage?
That we should attack those that acknowledge human nature?
That when a guy in a male dominated business like crypto asks to find and pay users of the opposite sex to post on his chain, that he should be attacked for it?
What exactly are the positive values you are reinforcing here?
I see none. All i see is you being outraged at someone for making request for physicaly attractive women because he thinks that will benefit his business or whatnot.
Should he had written: Looking for ugly women? Ugly men?
If its ok to ask for smart women, then its fine to ask for attractive ones.
Both are attributes of us humans and painting a picture that searching for one attribute is somehow valiant and searching for the other is somehow appaling and outrageous is beyond ridiculous.

Reinforcing that women deserve more dignity than be reduced to selling their bodies.
You def don't want to encourage human nature, base human nature is very animalistic, I come from Africa and have seen and heard about things that are truely shocking, so you don't want to go down the road of encouraging human nature.
Humans should rise above their base instincts through education and evolved thinking.
Yeah well if you notice the world is trying to break free of this convention, media and modelling is leaning towards fuller figures, plus sizes etc. Everyone has value and saying someone is worth more because they are pretty is discrimantory.
This type of ad offended some of the older readers who called on others to do something about it, so clearly it was offensive, maybe subjectively so but offensive none the less.
Just as much as you view the ad poster to be justified, the people outrages are also justified to vote against it, it is their stake and they can choose what they would like to see on trending.
If you have an affiliation to the person posting or to the said project maybe you should disclose that, as that is what it looks like otherwise why would you care to defend it.
Breaking free of that conversation?
Yeah. Thats beyond ridiculous. Plus size movement is the pinacle of stupidity of modern society.
The absolute corruption of human intelect. Sickness painted as the "norm".
Its beyond disgusting.
Acknowledging human nature is nothing wrong. Wer not talking here about culture destroying animalistic behavior. Wer talking about the very basis of what makes us human. Sexuality.
Someone is worth more because theyre pretty?
No one is worth as a human more based on anything.
But if you are marketing based on physical attraction its an absolute fact that a attractive person is worth 100 times more then a non attractive one. There is nothing discrimatory in that.
I dont care facts offend you.
I dont care what was offensive to you. People can be offended about anything.
Im offended by people wearing socks with slippers.
Im offended by people saying "nukelar" instead of "nuclear".
I can say any fucking thing offends me.
I care only about facts and what is right.
And what is right is that a guy can say: "Beautiful women attract more attention then ugly women and i want beautiful women to promote my project and ill pay them for it."
... and no one can crucify him for it.

I'm trying to look at this objectively.
While lasse could of worded this better, way way way way way way way way way better. His "business opportunity" is very similar to what companies do at trade shows, hiring booth babes. Or companies partnering with instagram models to promote their brand. Or any number of other businesses like, for example, cosmetic companies, that hire super models to promote their brands.
It's my opinion that this is being blown way out of proportion.
Sure I agree, and also agree on second read it isn't that bad, but generally those companies you refer to don't put the job ad out there so distastefully, I'm sure they discretely contact a modelling agency and enlist the girls they want. The community is quite sensitive about what appears on trending and I don't think this was a good showcase for the trending page, if it wasn't voted up out of proportion then it wouldn't have been blown up out of proportion.
The trending page is supposed to be for good curated content, would you expect to see this post on say the front page of Cointelegraph or Coindesk, probably not, so why should it be voted up so much on Steem?
