Tinder Select is a secret, members-only version of the popular dating app for the 1%

[Shawn Knight]

Tinder, one of the most popular dating apps around, has been hiding a dirty little secret in the fact that there’s a members-only version of the platform for an “elite” class of users including CEOs, supermodels and those that are hyper-attractive or upwardly affluent.

One source tells TechCrunch that Tinder Select, which may have been live for around six months now, is for celebrities and people that do really well on the regular app.

Tinder has reportedly invited some people to the members-only layer and even given some the ability to “nominate” others for an invite. Those that have been nominated apparently can’t nominate others as to prevent Select from spreading uncontrollably.

The publication speculates that one factor that may be used to determine who gets invited to Tinder Select is the Elo score, a hidden “desirability” score based on an algorithm discovered last year.

Tinder Select operates alongside the regular Tinder app with users being able to switch between the two platforms. This makes sense as the pool of users within Select is likely considerably smaller than the standard group. Aside from the clientele, Tinder Select is said to feature a gradient navy blue “S” at the top of the app where the Tinder flame logo typically resides.

Tinder declined to comment on the story when asked by multiple publications.

Nope, it's entirely fine. To me it sounds like the height of pretentiousness.

I'd like to see it flooded with fake profiles of ugly people. It'd be the equivalent of us sifting through the fake super model profiles...

How is it pretentious to have your potentials feed limited to the type of people you want in it? Seems like an obvious service that should have been there from the start.

Personally, I feel like we never out grow high school, if you catch my drift.

You mean to tell me having preferences is immature?

meaning like we still like to sergeant ourselves and what not. That might not be a good way of explaining what I mean but I can't really think of how to explain it.

Nothing wrong with that. There isn't a species on the planet that doesn't segregate.

Let me know when they create an app for the intellectual minds, you know one that does NOT focus only on physical aspect, the content of the "box" is way more important than the looks of the "box" imo.
