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.

Honestly like no amount of money will change the results if your dating profile is shit.

If you’re a whale willing to spend 500 on tinder, spend it on marketing yourself. New photos, personal trainer, hobbies and seriously important - new clothes that fit you.

Lot of single people I meet always say “I don’t want to change who I am”. Changing the way you look and feel isn’t changing who you are. Unless you’re actually as shallow as your outfit. It’s not lame to see what the trends are and even ask a salesperson of the opposite sex for advice. Putting yourself out there is all aspects of such.

Present your best self. Because that’s all a person swiping can judge you on. That 5 seconds.

Just stop spending money on tinder, it only works if you are top10% and even then people get miserable.

Yeah there’s a lot of advice here but the data has shown that for the most part if you aren’t in the top tier of attractiveness you are getting ignored, no matter what the algorithm does

Step 1: Be attractive
Step 2: Don’t be unattractive
Step 3: Definitely don’t spend money on Tinder because it won’t magically fix step 1 and 2

Ah shit, I've failed 1 and 2. I better not fail 3 then.
