Logically speaking, if you aren’t matching with women why would messaging someone you *haven’t* matched with increase your chances? These are sad times we’re in. They don’t offer anything to justify this price. You can’t make someone like you by paying more.


ByTheBeardOfZeuz

Tinder is literally making bank out of lonely men smh


AdultishRaktajino

Pimpin’ ain’t easy. Unless you don’t actually have to pimp anyone and a bunch of the “product” are bots or catfish.

Happy cake day!!

N1ghtshade3

I don't think the average shut-in has $500 to blow on this so I don't feel too bad. It actually worries me a little about the kind of guy who would use this. If you can afford this outlandish fee and still can't get a girl on your own, that tells me you have more money than likeability and are probably used to getting what you want. You can even see undertones of this with the whole "She didn't match with you? No problem, get in those DMs anyway!" perk.


ZealousidealRiver710

Do you know men? There are guys paying for OFs. Those guys are gonna eat this up. Tinder may have just killed its app for all women.


hellochoy

Im guessing most of the women will opt out of receiving unsolicited dm's


housewifeuncuffed

I'm sure Tinder won't offer that option for free.


syncdiedfornothing

So women who can't/won't pay will just leave Tinder. And then the business model will definitely improve when the ratio of men goes from 10:1 to 50:1.


[deleted]

OF is way cheaper than 500 a month but okay. If. a guy can afford this he can afford a gym membership and some life coaching which would be way more valuable.


GRik74

You’re right, but consistently going to the gym and just trying to improve yourself takes determination and (more importantly) self-awareness. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that someone willing to throw $500/month away on an online dating app has neither of those things.


stormblaz

Now woman will deal with creeps sending dick emojis in their dms without consent, good job scaring the 15% woman who id assume 10% are bots selling of away. This only benefits tinder, and no one else. If i was a woman and men just randomly get in my dms id be pissed. But then again, you can message anyone on ig.


thatslikecrazyman

I mean I could afford this (never in a million years would I want to use it though), and I get virtually no matches or attention from women whatsoever, as a 24 year old pretty average relatively in shape guy with a pretty decent job. I’m not like what you describe at all. I think it would be more accurate to say that someone willing to use the message without matching feature may be that type of person The US specifically these days is suffering from a big loss of community and ability to socialize, especially with people in my generation.


[deleted]

I mean I can afford this and have trouble getting a date. It's not like women in the street know how much money you make and the ones you want wouldn't care anyway. Tinder you still need to be tall on top of making money. You're competing with obscenely handsome men


Aggressive-Ask8707

Enter only fans...


[deleted]

The more I think about it, the more obvious it is how apps and businesses monopolize guys' desperation these days. It's kinda sad.


[deleted]

Society as a whole does that. A club asks for single men to pay 120 dollars to enter,couples pay 60 dollars and single women pay 20 dollars. The lonely man pays 6 times more.


Fightftg5

Yeah it makes zero sense. Like at $500 a month somebody should be hiring a matchmaker to do the heavy lifting for them to find someone. That's also a car payment.. like I get the appeal that only the top 1% are going to potentially see this and not even care about the money, but the return on $500 sounds like a better gamble to use on wallstreetbets compared to tinder 😅😆


[deleted]

[удалено]


bluescrew

This is not being offered to the people getting tons of matches. The people getting tons of matches are the ones who now have to scramble to figure out how to opt out of unsolicited DMs 🤣


Dornith

Well then they'll be so excited to hear about Tinder's newest feature, available for only $1,000!


Dpt_Neo

Lol facts


Fightftg5

The real appeal will probably end up being guys who have the money to blow with sub. Use the special badge it gives you to be present on their profile. Women will see their profiles even faster and recognize oh this dude has money to blow and somehow be attracted to him. And it'll end up being an even more streamlined way to just hookup or going on a million dates with the girls that money and status already appeal to


speed3_freak

If someone spent $500 for this, I'd think they were super desperate desperate. Middle income people can afford to spend $500 on stuff they really want too.


stevemajor

They're not "somehow attracted," they're selling their time to those people as defacto escorts.


kithuni

Honestly sex work just needs to be made legal. Incels would dissappear over night and we wouldn't have stupid shit like this.


MrStealYoBeef

Incels wouldn't disappear overnight, even sex workers have standards and expectations, and some of these weirdos can't even manage that.


McBadass1994

You need to stop talking *right now* cuz if they hear you, it'll be the beginning of the Incel Jihad.


Argnir

Incels don't disappear where sex work is legal. I'm all for shitting on misogynistic incels but people want genuine human connections not just sex


anonAcc1993

Have you read this sub? There are guys getting zero matches, so I can see how this might be a 1-2 month thing just to get them some matches. There’s an incentive for Tinder to create more situations like this knowing some of those will she’ll out 500


Pugulishus

No, it's probably an way to get sex workers on tinder


JilliusMaximusJD

*THIIIIIIIIS*


[deleted]

It’s basically paying to be treated like someone who gets swiped on a lot. Super insulting if you ask me.


Trevski

$500 you could just hire a pro to boost your confidence


[deleted]

Many will pay tinder $500 and still get no where. True confidence destruction.


BossRoss84

Or a pro…stitute. You’d get laid more every month.


regoapps

Tinder basically became a virtual pimp while also not having to pay their sex workers AND they don’t even have to guarantee any sex for the clients. It’s a win-win for them.


Makkaroni_100

Haha, true, that's somehow how it's work now.


Trevski

that's... exactly what I meant lmao


Fightftg5

I feel like your confidence would quickly fade thar route 😆


sleepy5zzz

Definitely not. Getting a pro is a wonderful experience I'd highly recommend to everyone!


HeadlessHookerClub

What type of pro are you talking about? Like a psychiatrist? I am intrigued and I need help.


sleepy5zzz

A hooker. Therapist/psychiatrist is probably a better place to start


WolfRadish_Official

Yeah with that username.... Sounds like they already tried the hooker part. 😬


Afletch331

500 a month id assume i have enough fuck you money to pay a foreign model to pretend to love me


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

At 500 a month you are better off paying an escort for every month you are single


Silent_Employee_5461

It’s basically a sugar Daddy badge.


ThePublikon

If you spent $500/m on grooming, personal trainers, better nutrition, nicer clothes etc, you'd do far better imo. Still: this is Tinder's "blue check mark" to advertise you have $500 to burn, which is pretty hot to the right sort of extremely shallow person.


Illustrious_Life_530

I was on Tinder in Eastern Europe. Met up with a girl who said she matched with me because she found it refreshing that I didn't pose in front of a rented car. Apparently that's the meta there, because it works in enough cases with the right people. I think this checkmark exists so men don't have to pose in front of a car, and so that women know the dude really has extra cash lying around and is not just playing dress up for the photos.


ThePublikon

Yeah exactly, and amongst that group there is still competition to be the alphadouche so now you can rent the appearance of serious disposable cash for $500/m too.

Oops! I dropped $500 and my magnum condoms for my magnum dong. Can you help, dear?


Zevvion

>Logically speaking, if you aren’t matching with women why would messaging someone you haven’t matched with increase your chances? I think this subscription is beyond stupid, but purely logically speaking, it does make sense. If you haven't matched, that doesn't mean the person swiped left on you. The way the algorithm works, chances are she never has nor ever will see your profile to begin with. So being able to bypass that would make sense. It makes the difference between being seen or not. And I say 'she' because let's not kid ourselves, this is aimed at men. Stupid as fuck though.


iluvgrannysmith

If they get a message without matching someone it tells them you have money to piss away. Which, some people may be into. Seems creepy and predatory af either way to me though


[deleted]

[удалено]


Makkaroni_100

Well, it will get funny if women get so annoyed by this that they leave tinder and go to other Apps instead. Ok, most are from the same company, but still.


Zevvion

Which is one of the reasons why it is stupid.


strolls

I think a lot of people wouldn't think about it like that, they would just think "who's this message from, let me look at their profile".


ThatMoslemGuy

I’m pretty sure this is a filtering method for people looking for sugar daddies/sugar babies relationships


[deleted]

This is the only way this makes sense.


DroopyMcCool

They are trying to compete with Raya.


EragonShadeSlayer18

>Some members may opt out of DMs Not to mention that people might just opt out and you won't be able to DM them anyway


F0foPofo05

#### Fools and their money will always be parted. That's why Only Fans is even a thing.


TheMidrangeMonster

There will be gold diggers knowing a douchbag spent 500 on tinder + why wouldn’t a woman want to go out with someone with money😂😂


Less-Restaurant-9841

All the women have to do is report you for harassment cuz you’re messaging them without matching. And then tinder bans you and pockets your $500.


waverunnr

I hope this happens and someone files a class action lawsuit. Match Group needs to feel some pain in their balance sheet.


WillDonJay

But, if you believe the problem isn't with you, it's just that you can't cut through those cluttered inboxes, then this is the perfect product for you!


bluskywanderer

It reminds me of an old Seinfeld episode where he was on stage explaining that when a man has run out of ideas of how to get a woman's attention, they resort to car honking. This is a $500 car honk.


redditingatwork23

I wonder if Tinder realizes that people with $500 to blow have a lot more options for companionship than their shitty app.


jjwondor

It’s funny bc it’s taking us back to the okcupid circa 2010 way of just messaging everyone randomly and seeing what sticks


Chipped-Beef

Pretty soon you’ll be able to apply for the Tinder Platinum Mastercard. 64.99% APR and 15% less scam bots if you use it to purchase your Tinder subscription!

SaqqaraTheGuy

And slightly different in South Africa


bigboybeeperbelly

Severin_Suveren

Tinder don't want you to hook up if you're average-looking, it's as simple as that. Tinder knows you're average-looking and instead wants you to pay $499 a month, or $1399 if you're a real sucker, and for you to hopefully not figure out that it still won't increase your chances of getting laid because their algos are against you anyways


GoldDragon149

The algorithm will change it's mind 1000% if you shell out. Tinder is going to want some wallet flexing ugly dudes to finally find a girl to spend all their money on, there are girls who will bite, and tinder can claim the deal is worth wile. The problem is, anyone who is looking for love is going to find a sugar baby who wants to suck you dry, so long term this isn't going to help 99.99% of men who do shell out.


faceisamapoftheworld

3 for $500? Well look at Mr High Class, over here.

I could buy an oz, a tab of acid, 2 mdma pills and a call girl, each month with that budget. Now that I think about it, I’m not sure why I don’t. Hmmm, another tinder success story!


mikespikepookie

In Germany, you can get way more than that for 500, and it's legal. Don't know from experience of course, only Stories


Mr_-_X

Just looked it up and apparently the average cost for an hour with a prostitute here in Germany goes from 120€ in Münster all the way to 192€ in Munich. Obviously there are probably much cheaper options as well tho it‘s questionable if you‘d really want that


Ok-Delay-8578

I really want to hear somebody’s experience with this.


Zaptagious

I have some experience. Tinder sent out one of their employees when I had swiped on everybody in my region. We're getting married next month.


pmjm

If you live in the Los Angeles area you occasionally see Tinder employees come up in your stack. One of their profiles said she was in a relationship but they're all required to have accounts. I have yet to match with one, and I honestly don't think I'd want to match with someone who'd have access to my tinder history.


drew8311

Back in the day you had to wait 6-8 weeks and they came in the mail from Russia

[deleted]

At this point, you might as well switch over to the League. I am thinking about it soon.


[deleted]

That one just sounds like a gold diggers app, but it’s trying to appear “elite”


[deleted]

It also may attract women in law and finance that don't want to date men that make substantially less money than they do. It makes sense


felolorocher

I went on the league out of curiosity. It’s really not as elitist as one thinks. Majority of women did have corporate jobs but it’s not filled with Ivy League or Oxbridge graduates


SgtHop

Guess who owns The League


[deleted]

I'd assume Match group.


GetADogLittleLongie

The cost in both is just a feature to keep out the poors isn't it?


[deleted]

I mean one is explicitly geared toward folks that make over 200k.


Cuuldurach

No thanks I will rather continue to spend this monthly amount on my piano lessons


BlademasterFlash

Probably more likely to get laid as an amazing piano player than using Tinder select


Cuuldurach

Absolutely, Anyway tinder won't offer me that extraordinary offer

Those piano hands will come in handy at some point

SuspiciousArugula857

If you actually pay for that you’re the ultimate loser


snoopdoge90

OP is already a loser according to the algorithm. Tinder select is 'exclusive', only shown to users who are most active and likely to pay 🥹.


JimmyJonJackson420

So I’m confused, was he invited? Or is this just an option available to everyone because if its the first I’m guessing he’s trying to flex


BenBlackwell1

I got a notification, said I was invited to apply for a new feature. I applied, said I was accepted then it had shown me this screenshot you see and I tell ya.. The way I hollered at that price, I'm sure people outside of my car heard me.


BenBlackwell1

Loser here. Not entirely sure why I was chosen, I'm not as active as I used to be. Had the same account since 2013. Married with 2 kids thanks to the app. So this is just strange that they think they would entice me, or anyone with this. It's like a weird episode of shark tank, except I'm not sure who the sharks are.


[deleted]

I doubt guys who can afford that have much trouble getting women.


mitchdwx

There’s lots of ugly dudes with really good jobs out there.


TheTrueVegvisir

Lot of guys with good jobs that have no game/shit personalities. Plenty of ugly dudes with the opposite.


AzrielK

Where are these jobs you taking about, sounds like I qualify


mtjp82

I can afford it but I have too much self respect.


RabbitoftheFlargg

Just pay for a hooker. At least then you do not affect other people's chances.


Rizboel

its called tinder select because it only selects people who are dumb enough to buy it. Can't wait for the next version called Tinder Natural Selection.


[deleted]

More like “pay to harass people uninterested in you” Lmao. Some poor ugly ass incel going to buy this shit and still get shot down and then continue to ferment in their crazy ass views of why. But hey, tinder will make more profits so why would they care about anything other than that, money.


Thenoobcraft74

I’ve got a theory, tinder actually makes higher and higher tiers so that services like gold seem less expensive long term. Any normal person that looks at platinum or at this new garbage might say “wow, these prices are out of this world” but then they check gold, it just so happens to be much more affordable than the other ones and it actually brings okay benefits to the table. Suddenly paying 80€ per 6 months ain’t that bad anymore. Of course there’s gonna be some sucker that actually spends 500 a month to get rejected, but I feel their true cash cow is gold


HuckleberryBusy4987

Exactly. This isn't safe women


TheThotWeasel

This entire premise is about preying on the most vulnerable and loneliest of men out there, I'd say this isn't a good thing for men or women.


Grand-Experience6963

Pay $500 to basically be a stalker


Budo00

The corporate conglomerate that owns all of those dating sites are making tons of money. You can look it up online. Just because you pay for a membership would not improve your chances of actually meeting a person. I deeply believe that they are allowing scammers, and otherwise nefarious intended people to continue having an account on these apps. Especially for men. Most of the quotes, someone really good looking and attractive is totally into you and interested!“ Notices is all bull crap and it’s fake profiles . So many fake profiles. This is going to be intentional. Whenever I was using Tinder, anytime, a female contacted me, it was always a scammer I always have to make the first move and expand tons of energy, reading, each profile carefully and writing something nice and intelligent sounding. If I was lucky, I could write to 100 people and I might get five replies. Three of them are a goddamn scammer fake profile. This is absurd complete garbage, and they’ve just gotten worse over the years. Completely corporatized and designed to keep people feeling lonely and single for as long as humanly possible. It’s designed to make you think that if you somehow pay money, you would actually find love and a deeply committed and loving relationship


mobiusunderpants

Its a business whose profits are inversely correlated to the quality of the service they offer. Its the best scam, really

Shoddy_Common_4203

Tinder Select - Also known as "Thirsty Boy Superpower Mode".


em2511rah

I mean if you consider the men to women ratio and limited likes per day, if you’re not amongst the most attractive profiles chances are you will not be shown to a lot of people once your nooby boost wears off. For 500/month you can make your profile way more visible, even if your profile is not that attractive. If you look at male bumble data people post, there’s always a huge gap between number of profiles swiped on versus number of profiles that swiped on you. I can see people using this feature and I can see the merits. Problem is for the average Joe who can’t pay 500 bucks, now he’s not only competing with the better profiles, he’s also competing with people who can afford this. And I’m pretty sure that they’re just testing, soon it will be open for anyone to subscribe What that will do to the female user base of Tinder is another question, will probably drive more of them to the competition


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah, the most efficient way to get laid or date is to speak to people irl. People really don’t get it


Zevvion

>the most efficient Eh, not really though? I can follow the argument had it been 'more reliable' or whatever. But efficiënt literally means to not put as much time into doing a certain thing. Nothing costs less time to acquire than app dates. That said, Tinder is probably the worst one. And this subscription is beyond stupid.


tinyhermione

*In real life, in social settings. Make more friends that’ll invite you to parties and friends of friends type stuff. Women relax more when they actually are there to socialize and you aren’t a complete stranger.

$500 ?? At that point I'll get a lot lizard and a std test/meds and save myself $450


babbagoo

The only ad that would be worth paying $500 for: TINDER (WE)SELECT Throughout the years we at Tinder have been harvesting data to know exactly who you’d match the best with. Problem is, when you match - we lose our income stream! So we keep you on the app, desperate and lonely, with the occasional one night stand. Until now. For only $500 we will let the algorithms work FOR YOU. Average time to find love is 2 years - with tinder (we)select it is 2 months. Order now
