    It just sounds like identifying rich sucker’s to be plucked like apples and slaughtered like fattened calves by the trickier woman of tinder.

    This is all absurd, obviously, but:

    The new subscription can be stacked with a Plus, Gold or Platinum subscription for access to more features, the company notes.

    $499 and you don’t even get everything there is to get? You still have to pay for more? What in the fuck?

    If you are at the point where paying $499+ a month looks like the only way you’ll ever have a significant other or even just sex just invest that money in therapy or drugs or a super high end sex doll or a high class hooker but not in fucking Tinder. Jesus.

        I’m kind of surprised that not a single state has yet.

        Like the states that legalized weed have made a bonkers amount of tax money while the others continue to lose out to other states or the black market. And oh look, suddenly way less drug crime.

        Legalize it, regulate it, then tax it. The Netherlands figured it out. Kind of surprised Nevada hasn’t taken their shot. A state could legalize it and watch their tourist and tax revenues skyrocket while likely lowering human trafficking to boot.

          i honestly didn’t know sex work was still illegal hopefully there’s some society resurgence in support of them.

          i feel like as a society if a topic isn’t trending in news nothing happens to it.

            In most countries it still is and basically always was illegal. I wouldn’t hold your breath for the US any time soon, since half the states still can’t get their shit together to legalize a harmless plant, and the puritanical pushback from the federal level if a state attempted to legalize prostitution, especially with a conservative administration, would probably be swift and immediate.

          I’m not against legalization of prostition or drugs, but the only thing The Netherlands figured out is that simply legalization doesn’t make the problems go away. Both drug crime and human trafficking are still a big issue.

            Lots of states have casinos, this country loves to gamble. My understanding though is the brothels are highly limited in Nevada. Like, they are severely limited to where they can operate. There’s not actually any in Las Vegas, for instance.

            It’s hardly the model we should be copying.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The news was first reported by Bloomberg, and follows parent company Match Group’s earlier confirmation that Tinder would expand its membership options to include a new, high-end product catering to Gen Z users sometime this fall.

    Tinder says that less than 1% of users will be allowed to gain access to this premium product, and members can choose to display their status with an exclusive SELECT badge on their profile.

    Inspiration for this members-only club within Tinder comes from Match’s July 2022 acquisition of another high-end dating app, The League, which could cost users up to $1,000 per week.

    In addition, Select members’ profiles will be shown unblurred in the Like You grid in the app for up to seven days, even if they don’t pay for Tinder Gold or Platinum subscriptions.

    The company doesn’t detail how this technology works or how it rates these so-called “exceptional connections,” but one might imagine they include other Select members or those other users liked the most.

    To apply for Tinder Select, users must have at least four photos, five interests, a bio with a minimum of 15 characters, show a relationship intent, be photo-verified and, importantly, have way too much money to spend on dating apps.

    For most people their choice of life partner is the most important career decision they will ever make. 500 bucks could be a smart investment if it improves the odds of hooking up with the right person.

        Yes, because meeting people online is convenient, sometimes more realistic than meeting people irl, and sometimes it’s the only viable option to meet people, and because tinder is used pretty much everywhere and by a lot of people, it’s a better option than other dating sites/apps.

        It’s a fucking shit app to finding a life partner due to people leaving their bios empty, and a good number of people looking for short term fun, so finding a long term partner comes down to luck.

          But for $500 a month you’ll have more luck.

          Next year they’ll be introducing the whale tier which will be $1500 a month and they’ll guarantee you at least 37% more luck!

      It won’t though. Tinder can show their profile to more people but if those people still don’t like it, they’re not gonna match. For a lot of people, I have to imagine that seeing that someone paid $500 a month for a dating app is going to be a big red flag. I mean, it’ll bring in gold diggers, but that’s about it.
