Yeah stop swiping and start wiping because that ain\u2019t gonna happen. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A couple of weeks ago, TechCrunch <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/tech\/tinder-testing-secret-version-app-033632110.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">released<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a much-needed investigation report into the operations of Tinder. The report outlines the strokes of a secret version of Tinder called Tinder Select, which is an invitation-only platform for the attractive and the powerful. The app only invites CEOs, supermodels, and other physically attractive people who are part of the \u201c1% clique\u201d. This allows for an undiluted Tinder experience where there are only two rules: 1) Be attractive; and 2) Don\u2019t be ugly.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As news of this exclusive pool of hot people trickled down the aam aadmi grapevine, the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/blogs\/economist-explains\/2013\/04\/economist-explains-what-streisand-effect\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Streisand effect<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> took over and the #DeleteUglyTinder movement was born. Suresh, a Tinder user in Raipur smashed his Android One on the window of his miniature BMW, after realising that his dream of shacking up with Priyanka Chopra had gone up in flames, just like the first season of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quantico<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He dropped his shades and the attitude, and asked his mother to start her search on Jeevansaathi.com in earnest. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This information might have dawned on Suresh right now, but semi-ugly people like me have always known one thing: Hot people have shit easy. Not just on Tinder, but in life. And to top it all, they are utterly clueless about their privilege. <\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>A lot of these choices and opinions are made subconsciously, but it ends up skewing things in favour of the pretty \u2019uns \u2013 whatever society deems as pretty in a particular era. <\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the beautiful people serenade us with think pieces on \u201cThe Tumultuousness of Being Pretty\u201d, American model and actor Emily <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ratajkowski of \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/67508707\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blurred Lines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d fame shed light on this phenomenon in an <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/lifestyle\/esmagazine\/emily-ratajkowski-on-sex-success-and-selfies-with-kim-kardashian-a3249511.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interview<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI started to realise that I was being perceived differently,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was confusing&#8230; it made [people] feel uncomfortable and I think there was a lot of guilt that they wanted to induce.\u201d See what I mean? <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBeing perceived differently,\u201d for the record, is the most euphemistic phrasing that anyone has ever devised for being beautiful. What Emily and her friends can\u2019t see is that this perception manifests itself in everyday encounters. You see this kind of discriminatory behaviour while trying to stop an auto, attempting to get a table at a restaurant, or asking an acquaintance for a favour. Hell, semi-uggos like me face it even when we look into the mirror while taking a late-night selfie. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But don\u2019t trust my anecdotal evidence. The Harvard University paper \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dash.harvard.edu\/bitstream\/handle\/1\/3043406\/mobius_beauty.pdf?s..\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Beauty Matters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d, published in 2005, attempted to understand this. It charted the rise of pretty peeps as almost prophetic, a completion of a process which begins in kindergarten and ends with more people at the funeral. Cuter kids, the paper said, get more attention in class than ugly ones because teachers inherently expect them to do well. This attention leads to better grades which builds confidence which means better public-speaking skills. Turn the tables, and ten- and 11-year-olds <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/1520-6807(198801)25:1%3C70::AID-PITS2310250112%3E3.0.CO;2-X\/abstract\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">think<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> beautiful teachers are kinder and college students <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scientificjournals.org\/journals2007\/articles\/1227.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">think<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that better-looking professors are clearer and of \u201chigher quality\u201d.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of these choices and opinions are made subconsciously, but it ends up skewing things in favour of the pretty \u2019uns \u2013 whatever society deems as pretty in a particular era. It used to be tall and slender like Sharon Stone in the \u201990s; it\u2019s voluptuous and caramel like Kim Kardashian in the 2010s. Only one thing remains unchanged. Life for attractive people remains a circle-jerk of success. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, our debates around equality are framed almost entirely around gender, racial, ethnic, and class discourse. So we seem to have forgotten this most primitive of qualities which differentiated human beings in the first place. Tinder Select \u2013 just like the politics in this country \u2013 is a reminder to people of their supposed place in the world. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever crap <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Big Bang Theory<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tried to sell you about the information age and the rise of the ugly-smarties, Suresh will always be less desired than Salman Khan. And you, my friend, will be the little match girl standing in the snow and looking inside the glass window of Tinder Select where you\u2019ll never be allowed. I will meet you there. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tinder Select is a secret, invitation-only version of the app for the attractive and the powerful \u2013 yet another
