This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tinder has introduced a new subscription option that costs nearly $500 a month.
Tinder Select is a "VIP" service that's only on offer to about 1% of the dating app's most active users, the company says on its website.
Select will enable users to access exclusive features including "Skip The Line," which allows others to see your profile after you like them even if they don't have a gold or silver membership, and "Direct Message," which lets you send someone a message without having matched them up to twice a week.
Users need to apply for the service and must meet the company's "5-point Select Screen," requiring a verified photo, "show a relationship intent," and have four images, five interests, and a biography.
"We know that there is a subset of highly engaged and active users who prioritize more effective and efficient ways to find connections," said Tinder's chief product officer Mark Van Ryswyk, Bloomberg reported.
"So we engaged in extensive tests and feedback with this audience over the past several months to develop a completely new offering."

How the hell do they expect their app to actually work at all if that isn't built in????
"Hello yes I have a dating app, it will help you find people to date. The way it works is, if you say you like someone, then they can't read about you. This will enable you to get dates with all the hottest precognitive telepaths who magically already know about you."
