Tinder working on $500/month subscription for wealthy people with zero game

….. Exactly what the idea will entail is hazy, but it seems overwhelmingly likely that it's basically a way for people with lots of money but zero charisma to try to get ahead — a gross way to bring the concept of "pay-to-win" to an area of the internet that's already plagued with harassment, particularly for women.

To be fair, it's still unclear when or if the company will ever roll out the feature. One obstacle: getting it out of the door without seriously pissing off the rest of the user base might prove tricky. Tinder's parent company Match Group is already in a precarious financial position, having posted its first-ever quarterly decline at the beginning of last year.

Now, the company is looking to reinvent itself as a place that's not only meant for hookups but longer-lasting relationships as well. "We’re really looking at a whole range of additional value-add services to Tinder overall," the company’s chief product officer, Mark Van Ryswyk, told Fast Company. Tinder Vault, for instance, is meant to entice "high intent members" — read: folks, who are particularly desperate to get laid — and give them a leg up on finding a future partner.

Sounds like the old “I’ve got money and I want to get laid” game. That one’s been around for awhile now.

1. A “professional” sounds like a cheaper option.

2. You might be paying $500/month, but 80% of those ladies are still going to be going after the top 10% (if not less) of guys. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

3. If Pets Mart or Chewy are publicly traded, it might be worth looking into investing.

This is another reason why a man needs game; so hes not finessed out of all his money and resources.

I wouldn’t touch a Tinder skank even with a full body protective suit. I certainly wouldn’t pay for it.

Not hazy at all.

Hookers.

In other words, they’re creating a “sugar daddy” section.

Sounds like they got this all wrong.
They should invite rich folks for free and SELL the list to gold-diggers looking for sugar daddies.
Much more profitable, IMHO.

Darn, that guy was on a roll. Won $181 million lottery and found his one true love all in the same week!

A shame he died in his sleep on his wedding night, though.
