There's a time in your 20s when you are TOO OLD for dating. Tinder says so.

There’s an age-limit on wanton-Tinder-swiping, people.

It’s become the most successful dating app in the world. It’s created marriages, babies and happily-ever afters. And now, it’s decided that older swipers should be charged for it’s features.

WHY, TINDER, WHY?

For those who need an explainer, this the basis of Tinder: See a picture (or a few) of a suitor, maybe read the short blurb he has provided about himself. Within seconds, swipe left for ‘no’ or right for ‘yes’. If you have both swiped right, you get a ‘match’ and get to chat.

Though it’s having great success with creating couples, it’s not exactly a high-class dating service. It’s more like a game app, with a side serve of dating.

But Tinder is trialling ‘TinderPlus’, an expanded version of the app, which will have great functions like undoing a ‘no’ swipe (sometimes, you get a-swiping so fast that you go past the good ones), search worldwide, and have unlimited swipes per day (which is currently an existing part of the free app, but for a limited time only).

It will COST MORE for anyone over the age of 28.

Apparently, it could cost up to AU$30 for the new features for the oldies, but as little as AU$8 for the young’uns (based on the UK price scheme).

12 Stupid Mistakes That Men Make On Tinder

A Tinder rep said in a statement: “During our testing we’ve learned, not surprisingly, that younger users are just as excited about TinderPlus, but are more budget constrained, and need a lower price to pull the trigger.”

WE SWIPE LEFT ON THAT, TINDER.

Correct us if we’re wrong, but surely the under 28s are the ones who need Tinder less? In our early 20s, we were out more often than we were in. We had the time and stamina for late nights, getting chatted up by boys in bars and swapping phone numbers. Now, when Saturday night rolls around after a hectic work week, it seems much more appealing to sit at home on the couch watching Great British Bake-Off while ‘meeting’ men with a right swipe.

Let us over 28s have Tinder. The young ones have energy.
