Find love for $500 a month. Tinder, the famous dating app, will launch a new subscription called "Select" very soon. To sign up, you'd better be motivated, since you first have to apply to Tinder directly. It is the company itself that will "select" viable profiles to subscribe, according to several prerequisites.
Thus, the profiles that will potentially be chosen will have to mention five passions, have published four photos, have written a biography of at least fifteen characters, have specified the type of relationship sought, and have Tinder certification. This certification, which is supposed to prove that the photographs in the profile correspond to the person who owns the account, is only obtained after providing a video selfie, which Tinder will compare to the photos using recognition software.
Profiles must also comply with the platform's terms of service, before paying $500 per month. Only "1% of Tinder members" will be selected, according to the company.

Messages without a "match"
But what can Tinder offer for such a sum? While Tinder is governed by "match" (when two users "like" each other's profiles), "Select" overrides this rule and allows its followers to send private messages even without "liking" each other.
Another feature is the fact that "Select" subscribers will be able to "access the most popular profiles on Tinder, to meet someone who is 100% a match for you," the platform says.
In any case, the Select subscription is not currently available in France. No specific date or area of deployment has been announced.
