To respond to your bolded points.
Yes, I am now in the top 5% of men. I wasn't until recently. I followed those steps above.
Multiple studies show as much as 85% of all consumer purchases are done by women. It's especially biased in material goods. For example, the majority of new car purchases are women. There are some reasons for this difference such as women living longer than men, but even with that accounted for it is extremely unbalanced. While you don't need to be a pro-athlete wealthy, you must be able to provide for you and your woman. They like to be spoiled.

While some women may be materialistic, let's not make generalizations like that.
Plenty of women with a normal paying job are able to provide for themselves while enjoying many of the things they desire, such as food, travel, entertainment, etc, that a wealthy partner is lower on their list of priorities. Which is not uncommon even among those who feel they don't earn enough.
There are of course those on the other side of the spectrum, but that's no reason to generalize.
Regarding the article you linked, it didn't cite which study it was referring to.
But across the world it is still more common for a woman to be the stay at home parent. As such, she will often do the grocery shopping, buy clothes and supplies for the children, and generally oversee the household budget. It's not because women are more attracted to shiny objects, but because their position requires it.

Yes, but you won't find those women you described on tinder.
Read this article. Where 44% of women admit that they only went on a date for free food.

There are plenty of articles and studies that show how women make the majority of consumer purchases. Yes, they do buy things for their families, such as clothes and groceries, and that is part of the reason for the lopsided gender ratio, but 41% of women ages 25 to 44 are single and that number is growing every year.

Women on average own 3 to 4 more high end "luxury" fashion items than men. Look at the number of shoes the average woman has verse the average male. It's crazy.
