A new dating app recently released calls itself "Tinder minus the poor people."
Since Tinder launched in 2013 several similar dating apps popped up that followed the same "hot or not" concept, however, this new app called Luxy is the first to exclude the poor.
The app doesn't verify the income of the user (yet) but users have their own way to find out if their perspective matches are rich enough.
"If you show up in a 20-year-old VW Bug, and request to meet at a McDonald's you won't last very long on Luxy," spokesperson Darren Shuster tells CNN.
Generally the users consist of celebrities, supermodels, millionaires, CEOs and other people who fall in that top one percent category. Luxy tells CNN the average salary of a user is $200,000.
"With the rise of high-speed digital dating, it's about time somebody introduced a filter to weed out low-income prospects by neighborhood," said the CEO of Luxy in a media release.
The CEO wants to be known to the public as Tim T. Shuster tells CNN he is not releasing his full name to the public since the app is receiving negative feedback.
The only major difference between Luxy and Tinder is when you first sign up for Luxy the app asks the user their top five favorite luxury brands to help better match singles.
