Tinder User Can Buy Love: Seriously?!?

The dating app Tinder launched a new feature called Tinder Select for only 1% of users. The main goal is to have high-quality and better ways to find a user's match. The site is trying to bend the common phrase: "Money can't buy love." As being claimed, a member should pay a membership fee of $499 per month. In this sense, a user can buy love by using this dating app. Do you have many friends that met on a dating app? Do you believe that dating today is less difficult than it once was?

I actually know 2 couples that got married thanks to finding their mates on a dating site. But that was 15-20 years ago . . . I am thinking it was all a little different back then, maybe even the generation too. I'm all for meeting and getting to know people in person - I would never pay that much for any app!

I also have the worst thoughts when it comes to dating sites. There are some dating sites that hire people to pretend to be seeking dates. The main goal is that they were just playing around with the members and harvesting their hard-earned money to keep on letting the conversation go.

I met my husband on a dating website. Not an app. It was in 2001, if apps existed, I hadn't heard of them. It did cost something.

That sounds ridiculous, wow. Yes, my childhood best friend met her husband on the internet, and have been married 16 years now, with two sons. There is also a man in my church who met his wife online. He was a widower, and a little older than I think we expect a lot of online daters to be. I’ve never done it myself. My current best friend is trying it, and has had terrible luck. It’s just not for me, but maybe I’ll feel differently in the future.

I am glad that your childhood best friend found her better half through it. On one hand, lucky for those who can find the right one. On the other hand, some experienced the opposite situation. Personally, I never tried to find a date on a dating site. Although it can be different in the future, as you mentioned,

I do have a few few friends who met their mates on a dating site. They are all still married. They didn’t pay any fees.

That is what I am wondering. Why do we need to pay for such a dating site, right? I heard some people are. I think they are lucky to find their true love.

@RubyHawk I agree. I also think that we should not find the right one. It will come along unexpectedly.

In my mind, a person who indulge with this payment scheme is in desperation to find true love. I am sure some of these members will fall into this option. That is the sad part.

That's ridiculous! Money can't buy love. It never could. I knew people who met their match online and married.

I can agree more. I would just use the money to buy food than being a member of this dating site.

In India dating is a modern word. We didn't have it earlier. We had and still have arranged marriages in India.

I heard that arranged married is still being practiced there. Since we ar in the modern world, knowing others is not that easy virtually. They can be deceived by ex-convict and the like.

@Shavkat If the parents are clever enough on both sides they find out the background of the family and then finalize the marriage.

For some or perhaps for many, dating apps can be helpful but I think how it works still depends on the individuals behavior. I'm not sure I'll resort to using this one but of course it's nice to meet new people though...??

@ZedSmart I also hope that they will not be deceived by them. The mere fact is that they are going to meet strangers. We can never tell what would happen to the if these people are not true based on their profiles.

I think the site only play a role of intermediary agent,whether the user can gain love depend on themselves.I believed today dating is easier than before,but that is just dating,not fall in love.eventually,love depend on ppl themselves,not money.

I am quite an old school when it comes to finding the right one. I also prefer to have a date with someone in person. Perhaps a blind date can still be applicable.
