"  We&amp;#039;re no stranger to a slew of websites designed to help you find only rich dates, but this newest dating app, LUXY, is, well, anything but luxe as far as we&amp;#039;re concerned. A press release is circulating that pitches it as &amp;quot;Tinder without the poor people&amp;quot;, yet against its greatest efforts, makes the whole premise sound really rather tacky.  Never mind that the whole idea is pretty blimmin&amp;#039; offensive, but the way they wheedle out the &amp;#039;poor&amp;#039; is verging on the ludicrous side. Anyone can create an account but if you&amp;#039;re not rich, expect to be deleted. And how will they know? They&amp;#039;ll filter out users in undesirable neighbourhoods. Really.  The press release is bafflingly rude, referring to non-rich users as &amp;#039;riff-raff&amp;#039;, and breaks down any social niceties with blatant, in-your-face classist comments. You can read the press release below, as was displayed on Vice.com and - dare we ask - will any of you be signing up to the LUXY app?  release: TINDER MINUS THE POOR PEOPLE -- Darren Here&amp;#039;s the latest offering by my Silicon Valley-based client, MillionaireMatch.com -- LUXY, it&amp;#039;s basically Tinder without the poor people... TINDER MINUS THE RIFF RAFF:\u2028  SHOP FOR AFFLUENT PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD &amp;quot;It works just like Tinder,&amp;quot; said the CEO of LUXY. &amp;quot;With one big exception: Our app allows users to weed out the poor and unattractive.&amp;quot; SILICON VALLEY, CA -- (September 28, 2014) -- It was really just a matter of time. With Tinder, Grindr and others carving out a niche for themselves in the world of high-speed digital dating, LUXY has launched to work in the same way. It&amp;#039;s Tinder without low-income dating prospects. In fact, the average income of male users on LUXY is over $200k and those who are unable to keep up financially are immediately removed from the service. Like Tinder, based on the results of potential candidates, the app allows the user to anonymously like or pass them by swiping or tapping. If two users like each other then it results in a &amp;quot;match&amp;quot; and LUXY introduces the two users and opens a chat. Who doesn&amp;#039;t want to date somebody both attractive and wealthy? Privately, we all know we prefer to have both of these things. One user said: &amp;quot;Tinder was pretty awesome when it came out, but there&amp;#039;s a lot of riff raff on there. [I] would rather know the guy has a couple bucks in his pocket.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;With the rise of high-speed digital dating, it&amp;#039;s about time somebody introduced a filter to weed out low-income prospects by neighborhood,&amp;quot; said the CEO of LUXY. Another user wrote: &amp;quot;Does this mean that we&amp;#039;re all going to flock to Beverly Hills on a Friday night to make a match? Mabye [sic] that&amp;#039;s not a bad idea!&amp;quot;  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
