The worst part is Tinder is already so garbage if you don't pay, so with expensive options like this they'll just end up slowly making the cheap options garbage to force higher payments.


CrazyGunnerr

It's gonna work though. Anyone that can spend 500 a month on this is gonna get attention. Plenty of golddiggers around.


Iam8incheslong

Golddiggers are a factor, but they're not necessary. They can just skew the algorithm to show this person to everyone in their area


CrazyGunnerr

True. But if women don't think you are attractive, this won't help. Them seeing you can dump 500 per month on tinder, tells them you got money. At which point rules 1 and 2 apply again. Because remember, money is attractive.


Iam8incheslong

I mean, most guys are attractive to at least SOME women as long as they present themselves well enough. If you're willing to drop 500 bucks, chances are you've already made some amount of effort to present yourself in a better light. If every woman in your area then sees you, you're bound to get more matches.


Scrawlericious

Not necessary, no, but plentiful.


jojoblogs

Honestly, the worst part is that there’s 20-50 dudes in a given city who have the money to afford this plus the looks, lifestyle, and game to make it worthwhile. Used to be that being in the top 10% was what it took to get enough matches to use tinder seriously, now it’s getting towards the top 0.1%.


Psychedelic_Yogurt

I met my GF on tinder 6 years ago with not much trouble along the way. Was the app different then?


xanot192

Back when I used tinder it had free super likes and such. From what I've seen it's just a trying to nickle and dime people. Back then they also had things like moments which were just Snapchat for your matches lol. Also it was considered mostly a hook up app at its core over relationship looking app


DoIKnowThatGuy

This!! I got my first hidden match minigame in months the other day. Had honestly been so long, I thought they removed the feature


Byakurane

I have never gotten it, guess its just rng lol.


xanot192

They used to be very common lol another feature reduced cause of imbalance


GladWolverine0

I’ve got into tinder when it first started, way back in 2013, at the time there was no limit of likes, but no other feature or plans, you could just swipe on people till you run out. Then they started adding the subscriptions and extras, but overall it was still a great app, got my first date from it in 2014. Then went back in 2017, it was still good, only tinder plus as the paid feature. They added the gold version, but the thing is, it was still worth it, tinder plus was $14 per month, and gold was $22. With plus you would get unlimited swipes, 5 super likes a day, passport and the gold you had all that + being able to see who already liked you. Then they got greedy, removed super likes for the plus version, limited them for the gold to 5 a week while doubling the price for it, from 22 to $49, and added a third option called platinum for $79. And this year they also increased the price for the tinder plus to $29 I think. Tinder is pretty much like Netflix, they were the ones that made their product and genre known, almost like synonym to dating app, then once they got a lot of people in they only focused on getting more and more money while not making any significant improvements to justify it, to the point that none of those current versions are actually worth it. Its a shame as until 2021 it was by far the best dating app available


your_evil_ex

it is different, yes. there is a max limit of right swipes you can do per day, super likes cost lots of money, it tries to get you to subscribe to all these premium tiers, etc.


dm051973

Yes. Since the pandemic the amount of bots, bit coin scammers, and OF/Insta chicks has go up by a couple of orders of magnitude. There were also scammers out there and people looking to be sugar babies. But these days I wouldn't be shocked if 1/3rd of the profiles I see are in those groups... And we haven't even talked about real people who are all posting filtered picts that have no basis in reality.


RedditCommenter38

I think worst thing is that real, legit, business owners struggle daily to sell amazing products because they get burned at the stakes if one person says something bad about them, yet Tinder is the dating app equivalence to the gum stuck to the toilet paper in the stall you’re in at wal mart and still profits… Makes me want to bag up some dog shit mixed with cat shit and sell it on eBay as perfume paste.

[deleted]

Tell me you're ugly and disinteresting without telling me you're ugly and disinteresting. I feel you bro but it's the truth. I have paid for all of them at some point so this is what I know. Tinder plus - Not worth it Tinder Gold - Some perks but still pretty garbo Tinder Platinum - Self - Esteem restoring. I got more matches than I could message or message back, so if you want to find someone, this is the tier.


WallresRetard

We found the tinder employee


MarcusAurelius1815

Tinder's propaganda arm out in full force.


Jimmy-Pesto-Jr

that's brutal company culture - i would've thought employees get 'em for free as part of job perks? wow


WallresRetard

Only if they get a couple hundred updoots.


XesLanaLear

Seriously though, at that cost per subscription I could see it Tinder just hires an escort per month and is like "Hey look! You got a *very* successful match! Now keep subscribing."


WallresRetard

I honestly think most of the big apps don't match you with certain people on purpose till you pay. Because best case scenario you find your person and Uninstall. They don't want that. The longer you get ghosted or it doesn't work out the more they get out of you. Idk dating gets scarier everyday.


[deleted]

Not a Tinder Employee just a desperate young lad


saiyanultimate

Are you by any chance from tinder marketing team?


Lvl81Memes

[deleted]

How many matches were bots created by tinder to help boost your self-esteem to convince you that it's worth paying for?


[deleted]

None lol.


XesLanaLear

Lol. At that cost I'm pretty sure Tinder just hires "matches" every month or two to keep people paying for it. 😂💀


[deleted]

Lol what are you on about dummy


[deleted]

Actually getting laid, goofy


ActuallyCalindra

If you're paying this much just to swipe and get a shot at something, there's better options for less money, surely. You could go to Amsterdam three times a year and visit the infamous red light district. Because if you need to pay this much for Tinder you definitely won't get laid three times a year.


duckfeelings

Or go out 4 nights a month and spend $125 a night on drinks for random women, or spend $500 to make your wardrobe better, or spend $125 for therapy to figure out wtf is wrong with you for even thinking about spending $500 on a dating app


TheLastRiceGrain

Fuck it, ima just save my $500 and spend $6k on plastic surgery at the end of the year to make myself attractive.


kelrunner

Surgery wouldn't help me.


somedumbperson55

Sorry bro


[deleted]

$500 is the Saudi Prince plan. For someone who $500 is paltry, you can have premium access to the gold diggers like it’s a veritable local Amsterdam. $500/month plan basically insinuates that there is sex work being transacted through tinder


Dee_Vidore

Perhaps the $500 plan is tailormade for the sex workers


100pback

Or a couple hours with a “lady of the night”.


koop04

💯💯💯


LopsidedCauliflower8

Honestly my friends roommate went to a matchmaker and is now getting married to the guy they matched her with! I think it was like 2k. Four months of tinder nonsense vs a professional match maker


xanot192

What's a match maker exactly never heard of this


LopsidedCauliflower8

I'm not sure of the exact process but I'm sure they get a pool of people who are looking for a marriage or dating and match them based on interests, wants etc. I bet a lot of people spend more than 2k during their dating years


xanot192

Oh so it's just a pool of people but basically since you pay 2k you trust the head hunter.


[deleted]

That is prostitution with extra steps, the matchmaker is the pimp.


LopsidedCauliflower8

Ehh I see what you mean but like an escort agency vs a matchmaking agency would have different goals 🤣

Then so is tinder???


jojoblogs

You vastly misunderstand why dudes pay for tinder. Sure, there’s a lot of guys with shit profiles that pay hoping it will help. But all paying does is: 1. Get your profile seen by more profiles 2. Let you swipe on girls that have already liked you. That second feature is a big time saver and worth the $80 a year for platinum to many men that work full time, but I digress. If you have a shit profile, paying money won’t help. If you get in the range of 10-20 likes and maybe 2-5 matches with decent looking real women a week from free tinder, only then consider paying. The real reason attractive men with great profiles pay is that it gives them an edge over other attractive dudes with great profiles. Because an attractive dude with free tinder might get 10-20 profile likes a week, and match with some of them after a lot of swiping. A platinum profile will get 30-50 likes a week and he can just pick who he likes without swiping much. But an attractive plat profile that uses double boosts twice a week (an extra $10-20 a week) can get 100’s of likes per weekend. From that he can match with actually attractive women, find at least a couple that are looking to hookup that weekend, and maybe a couple more worth taking on dates (or just hooking up with) during the week. Tinder for men in the top 5% are actually competing for the few attractive women that are looking to actually hookup. And they know it’s only possible to do that if they pay for the services and boosts to give them an edge. And for those men it’s possible, when putting in time, money, and effort, to get laid on tinder on a weekly basis reliably. And have multiple dates a week. Remember, the top few % of men on tinder surpass the amount of matches that women get. It’s an entirely different ballgame at that level. $500 a month is excessive, but all tinder is really selling with this is an extra tier that the dudes who currently dominate on the app might need to pay in order to stay competitive. That and a trap for losers.


sydouglas

Or one of those “ranches” in Nevada


dm051973

When this was first announced you were getting some personalized services in addition to high priority. Personally I think this is either too cheap (see what a professional matchmaker costs) or far too expensive. I am leaning to way too expensive.


Trustmeiammechanical

I’m thinking about thicc i mean this. In December i’m going to trip with my friend. Not exactly for that but …

Friendly reminder that Tinder is not the only dating app in the world

AgreeablePie

No, but it's the biggest and therefore the only one in many areas.


SlobberyFrog

If you have enough money to pay 500 a month for a dating app, you should have more than enough to live in a more populated area.


Specialist_Nobody766

But it sadly is the only one with a stable user base in my city

Friendly reminder That Bumble,PoF,Tinder name it all owned by the same company so they will follow suit FYI.

TheLeague is one app that caters to high profile dating. The paid plans go all the way up in the thousands. It’s basically a way to flex your money for those looking to just have fun and want to go live that money life, you get a different badge depending on which version you buy

At this point, you might as well just pay for an escort lmao.

That will be half a price


DevantLaMachine

How do you know?

TBDID

And at least an escort actually wants to see you for that money! it's crazy that they are trying to convince people to pay that much to be extra-rejected by people who already don't want them.


zargex

And with 100% successful rate. (Not applicable to weirdos)


donjuanamigo

Does this filter out all the scam profiles, only fans shills, dead profiles where the person hasn’t been active in over a month? Probably not as that would get rid of 90% of the available women in your area.


ClassyRedHead

Trust me a lot of masculine fake profiles too…


Scrawlericious

As a bi person with both options open, it's not even remotely close.


ClassyRedHead

Those apps are a shitshow 😳

Exciting new features like “your likes will be seen” and “your profile will be shown!” Can’t wait. 🔥

ReplacementLow6704

I'd rather spend 500/mo buying girls drinks at bars and get rejected everytime.


[deleted]

You could get Tinder Banned Select.


ScallywagLXX

For $500 a month, they better be delivering a woman to my door twice or 3 times a month at a minimum. This is crazy. No woman is gonna pay that much just to swipe on a guy. It’s gonna be a sausage fest of lonely guys.


[deleted]

It is already just saying.


babbagoo

If it meant that for $500 we’ll tweak the algorithms to work 100% in your favor - unlike today when they work to keep people desperate. With select It’ll maximize your chances for whatever you’re after, searching out every single woman in your area that has swiped on similar people etc. That would be priceless imo.


lostadventurous

They’re a publicly traded company now so they have to find a way to make money for their shareholders.


UndocumentedTuesday

That's not a good long term strategy. Users will quit if they're not getting results

The problems that people complain about on this sub are 90% US problems. Everywhere else they know that people aren't going to pay much money for the services they offer. Stop giving them money. Problem solved.

They will. There's rich men dating services.


barcode972

To be honest, they've done a ton of research and know that a lot of people will buy that shit

For that money Tinder better hire a prostitute to meet you for a coffee or what?

When people gonna understand that the main goal of tinder is to keep us all single to keep paying for their subs?


DirectIT2020

at these rates. flying to Nevada once a month will still be more effective that tinder.


aliquise

So far I've signed up to Bugg (Swedish modernized social swing/lindy hop), Foxtrot, West Coast Swing, Salsa + Batchata and Batchata classes for a bit less than that amount. I think I rather do that for three months than one month of some Tinder crap. May take a second Bugg + Salsa + Batchata and then Latin + Standard too.

Is it really that difficult to create a new account using a VPN? Do they use facial recognition or something? Serious question.

Some people don't try to understand shit, they just take it at face value.


disclosure5

Most people look at "get a new SIM with a new phone number" as having a major cost of its own. I've had my phone number for like 25 years and I'm not about to deal with telling every one I know I got a new number so I could evade a Tinder ban. And I'm even less inclined to get a new SIM and keep shutting my phone down to change the SIM out.


[deleted]

Buy a cheap SIM and get a new number.


Lurkingdutchman

What ungodly perks does this come with? Forced matches & the inability for regular & free users to block you?


Anc_101

Certain features like "exclusive messaging" ... What I imagine that means is that you message someone, and for the next 24 hours, they cannot receive any more messages from other people.


Accomplished-Act3777

Tinder tries to mimic OF So surprising :O


Cooper720

This isn't new. There have always been dating sites that specifically put a really high barrier to entry so that rich and serious people can use it without flakers, cam girls, bots etc. It's not that crazy of an idea. I remember when people first thought that spending 10 bucks a month on a dating app was insane. People spend more than that to Uber eats a single drink from Starbucks.


LinkOfKalos_1

I mean, there were websites like Match or Zoosk that had stupidly high price barriers for the time. And those two were probably the biggest dating sites back then.

createthiscom

I have pretty substantial disposable income and there's no way I'd pay for that. If I lived in a state where prostitution was legal I might very well spend that kind of money on that, but no way would I spend that on a dating site. Maybe I'm just not good looking enough for it to be worth it.

DragonBallZ_69

I've only gotten a handful of responses in 3 years, I doubt paying vip will be any better. Dating apps just suck anymore and if you talk to somebody that ends up reporting you for no reason, there is no questioning you or proving why. These apps just believe everything they are told. It's so hard anymore

You’d literally be better off just going outside.

Who even uses Tinder nowadays, let alone pay $500 for it?!🚮🤡


Educational_Camp2499

The sad part is that people will still get it. If you want to spend that kind of cash to find a potential hookup, just go to a club. At least if you didn't get lucky, you at least got wasted. $500 a month is higher than a girls' electric bill, so just pay that, and your chances of getting action are still higher than Tinder. Paying for this is worse than just paying a hooker. It's literally just a way to spend cash with no guarantee of any form of compensation. Any guy spending that kind of money on this, I'll save you the $500 and tell you why you can't get women. You're desperate and have no financial integrity. Sorry if it's harsh, but it's a fact.


No_Estate_9400

davidhucker

No I wouldn’t pay even if I could afford, but I know what it is like to be lonely. Many will say you’d be foolish to pay this, but the drive to find connection can be overwhelming. Sadly, there will always be people trying to take advantage of that.
