The struggle is real for private school kids, especially if you’ve just left the safety of your alma mater, and you’re starting to navigate the awkward world of dating and dating apps.

Think about it. You have that elite education and you know you’re going to live off that trust fund until you take over Daddy’s company, so how do you filter out the common folk and the gold diggers?

Introducing Toffee – the dating app that guarantees you won’t end up on a date with someone from the wrong side of the tracks.

Here’s the Telegraph:

Toffee only allows people who attended private schools access to its service. Previously only available on iPhones, the app offers a similar service to dating app Tinder. Users swipe left or swipe right until they find a match, and then message them.

The app, which is now also available on Android devices, was criticised earlier this year on social media for snobbery and elitism. New users of the service are grilled about which private school they attended and vetted before being granted access.

The app matches people with a personality quiz, asking them questions about their hobbies. You know, the normal stuff, like whether or not they attend the Henley Royal Regata in the summer.

That’s rowing championships at a posh country club for all you peasants out there.

Although Toffee was hit by a social media storm, the company has fended off accusations of snobbery and since its launch in April has attracted a loyal following of 10,000 monthly active users. It now has a range of investment options and acquisition offers.

Founder Lydia Davis said earlier this year that the app’s aim was not “to promote snobbery or social division, it’s to help people meet and fall in love. That’s been my mission for the past five years”.

And, of course, it’s just better if you fall in love with your own kind. Especially if your own kind can double your net worth and help you produce worthy heirs.

Bad news for all you Bishops Boys and Herschel Girls though – the app, which is only available in the UK, will next be expanding its service to Australia.

But who knows, maybe it will make its way to SA. Then you can assure the future of the family fortune, without having to wade through the Tinder swamp with the rest of us.
