On Monday, the dating app launched its new premium service, Tinder Plus. New features include the option to "rewind" or unswipe someone they didn't mean to pass on and the ability to match with people around the country instead of one geographic location. (The app lets users "swipe right" on people they find attractive or "swipe left" to reject someone.)

But the premium service varies in price and favors the young.

In the U.S., those under 30 pay $9.99 a month. If you're 30 or over, you'll pay $19.99. (In the UK, you pay more if you're over 28.)

Many are taking to Twitter to air their frustrations.

"Doesn't making people over 30 pay more for Tinder feel like some sort of penalty? You haven't found love yet, give us your money," tweeted @eleshepp.

Is Tinder suggesting that 30 is the new middle age? Not so, says Tinder spokeswoman Rosette Pambakian.

"During our testing we've learned, not surprisingly, that younger users are just as excited about Tinder Plus, but are more budget constrained," wrote Pambakian in an e-mail. "Lots of products offer differentiated price tiers by age, like Spotify does for students. Tinder is no different."

I imagine a lot of users will put their age as 29 but say their real age in the profile.

If $20 a month gets you acess to a service that can get you in touch with people so you can get laid... consider it an investment.

Pay for tinder?  Fuck that.  I got rid of Facebook for a while so wasn't using it anyway.. Then I saw the aero p contests and reactivated it a couple days ago. Started up tinder after I saw this thread today. Even with the restrictions, I've matched with at least 10-15 chicks today alone, have gotten 3 numbers of good looking girls that I actually enjoyed talking to. Got two potential dates this weekend (one shooting date), and I haven't even hit the swipe limit yet. I just became a little pickier about my swipes (rather than swiping everything, I swipe the cute ones).  Seems like it's working better for me than it did before, hah.

So basically it's a site so that basement dwellers don't actually have to leave the basement? Is it that hard to pick up a chick by going out? I'm really glad I never had to do the online thing. I just wish I had thought of starting a site.

Trust me I was very skeptical at first also but women of my generation love social media and shit like tinder is almost like hunting over bait.
It takes almost zero effort at all.

I'm disappointed, she's much too pretty to be on it and has had a serious boyfriend for like two years
I'm pretty sure they're still together. Guess not.

Same concept as ladies getting into clubs for free: it brings more paying customers.

Guys on tinder are looking for hot young chicks. Doesn't matter if he's 25 or 45.

Gals on tinder are looking for hot young studs. Doesn't matter if she's 25 or 45.

The only exception are the hot young chicks looking for sugar daddies.

No shit on wishing I'd have thought of it first.  Tinder is huge now and people will pay.  Not me, but people.

 



Regarding the other thing... It's not even about needing to stay in the basement or being a pussy in real life.  It's about cutting to the chase quickly and extremely easily.  90% of the broads on tinder are on there for the dick, and most are pretty straight forward.  I guess you could actually find someone to date on there (I havent tried), but it's mainly like a "hey girl, your ass is banging, it should be banging my wiener" and she goes "I guess lol thanx where do you live" thing.




Few months ago when I had it activated, some good looking drunk broad, 31yo messaged me at like 1am.  About 5 messages back and forth about how she was out with her girlfriends and got lonely when they left with their boyfriends. Less than 15 minutes of messaging, I took the risk and she showed up at my house I n a cab, looked good, and she rode me like a mad woman till we both got off twice, and then called a cab and took off at about 3am.  It was the easiest sex I've ever gotten.  I didn't even have to get her a glass of water or anything lol.




I realized it wasn't the smartest idea, but I got tested afterward and still clean, so it's definitely in the win category.




The amount of easy, hot, poon to be had on tinder is unbelievable.  I'm a big fan and proponent as a single 30yo dude.  Girls from 19-37 have been graced by my junk and its just faster, cheaper, and easier than starting from scratch out in the real world.  I can do that too, admittedly not as well as some, and definitely not as easy as on tinder.  




I'm ugly, (though masculine and manly looking ) but can be charming as shit through text.  Hooks em and then they can't resist lol
