Tinder thinks some people will pay almost $500 a month for more 'efficient ways to find connections' with its 'VIP' plan::Tinder Select is only available to some of the dating app's "highly engaged and active" users, and it'll cost about $6,000 a year, Bloomberg reported.

Or just spend the $500 on an escort if you’re that desperate. You can get a pretty classy gal for $500.

I'm only moderately classy, but I'll do it for $400. I'm really good at pretending to be interested in stuff I don't care about, so they can talk about whatever weirdness they got going on that makes them willing to pay $500 a month for fuckin tinder. What a steal!

What do you think this is? Tinder will pay $150 for a girl to go on a couple dates and pocket the $350. The "enhanced profile" will have a near 100% success rate, if success is defined as a date with a girl who's only interested in money.

They've probably already workshopped a name for the "content creators".

That honestly makes me kind of sad. Not even specifically the escorting part but just like.. that seems like a small amount of money for that on the escort's end. Like for example, I am pretty sure there are OF girls who sell nudes for that much lol
