Dating in modern times can be quite a challenging task. With the introduction of the internet and mobile phones, folks have become less likely to hit up bars and clubs with the hope of meeting a special someone. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve seen a bunch of dating apps crop up over the years, all promising users hot available singles for dates and other less safe for work activities. However, even dating apps have their own set of issues, making them far from the perfect place to meet the one. Whether that be the harassment that some users experience or the ghosting behaviors that have cropped up as a result, it\u2019s not quite as easy as you\u2019d think. One of the biggest complaints some users have with dating apps is the low amount of likes or matches they receive while using them. Now, top dating app Tinder has revealed a new subscription plan that may be the solution to this ever-growing issue. Twitter has announced a new plan called Tinder Select. Priced at around $499 USD a month, this plan is designed for Tinder users willing to fork out their rent payments in order to find someone. In fact, the program is so selective that users will need to meet certain criteria, send in an application, and then be accepted to join. The Select subscription does offer a bunch of benefits in return. This includes the ability to message before matching, have their profile unblurred in other users\u2019 likes page, and also receive a special badge to notify others that they\u2019re the real deal. As expected, the internet was not too keen on spending half a grand a month on a Tinder subscription and responded in kind, memeing on the decision out of the gate. \u201c$499 just to meet a deadbeat guy? Nah\u201d one user questioned. \u201cPaying 500$ monthly just so shorty can put your contact as \u2018free food\u2019\u201d another joked. With the immediate backlash following the announcement, it\u2019s unclear just how many Tinder users are eager to opt into the program. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see if the Team at Tinder sends this idea back to the kitchen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tinder announces new $499 monthly subscription plan and the internet has lost it Twitter: DexertoTinder has announced a new premium option for subscriptions known as Tinder Select, a plan that costs $499 a month and has the internet losing it.
