Good news for Tories of Bumble fans,there’s a new dating app in town that will give the hilarious Instagram account a whole new niche dating app to take the piss out of. That’s if any of us regular folk can actually get on it, the app is extremely exclusive.
Toffee Dating is an app launching at the end of April, and it’s designed to help people who went to private school find love. Because, they just have it SO hard you know? Never mind the fact that a candidate who went to private school is more likely to a land job than someone with the same grades who went to a state schools, and more likely earn more even with the same qualifications, RICH PEOPLE DESERVE LOVE TOO.
With a £4.99 download fee and subsequent £4.99 monthly subscription, the app only available if you attended a fee-paying school, with creator Lydia Davis stating she aims to connect people ‘who prioritise background as an attractive quality’.
Because, the backgrounds of public school kids are just SO unsavoury. I heard they all go down the mines on the weekend, and they can’t even appreciate the art of a good day out killing foxes. Savages, the lot of them.
Discussing the launch of the app on The Telegraph, Lydia states the aim ‘isn’t to promote snobbery or social division, it’s to help people meet and fall in love’. I mean, using what school you attended to divide eligible and ineligible mates is LITERALLY promoting social division, but okay.
Essentially Jane Eyre for the digital age, the app gives us 19th Century vibes, you know when you weren’t allowed to marry outside of your class? It’s also a wonderful opportunity for the prejudice state school kids experience to spill out into the dating world. Impacting their career and earning potential just isn’t enough, they should also be stopped from meeting anyone outside their class. It's only right.
On a (kind of) serious note, the app could actually be a blessing in disguise for us common folk, and those normal private school kids that don’t judge people based on something out of their control. Because, with all the elitist private school alum swapping banter about tweed and spending all their trust fund on cocaine, the rest of us will be free to roam the regular apps risk-free.
And if they don’t jump on the app straight away and leave us in peace, there's always the option of a state-school only dating app being developed. In fact, plenty of Twitter users are demanding it, with one even coming up with the perfect name: ‘Grange Hilldr’
Honestly, Pete needs to patent that asap before we do.
