Keep swiping — you probably aren't going to find the most eligible royals on Tinder anytime soon. The dating app has reportedly been running a members-only version called Tinder Select for several months in secret, "meant to serve only the elite users on the app, including CEOs, super models, and other hyper-attractive/upwardly affluent types," TechCrunch reports.

"Keeping it secret … only adds to the exclusivity and the feeling of superiority for those invited," TechCrunch adds. "And obviously, it keeps those who have not been invited in ignorant bliss."

Tinder Select isn't the first time a dating app has thought to weed out anyone who isn't a supermodel or rich. The League is an invite-only dating app that only accepts people with desirable educations and professions and Luxy only matches singles making more than $200,000 a year and those "voted in" based on attractiveness.
