Tinder Gold is worth it for guys. Most users considering the purchase of Tinder Gold are men, and for these customers, Tinder Gold is probably worthwhile. There are significantly more men than women on Tinder, so upgrading to Gold can help men stay ahead of the competition.
- Although tests indicate that Tinder Gold leads to more matches for men, it is important to consider what you want to get out of Tinder. Tinder Gold requires a certain level of commitment from subscribers.
  - Be aware that Tinder Gold subscribers receive many more Tinder notifications, and use the app much more often as a result.

Tinder Gold is worth it for women who want some extra exposure. No matter your gender, landing matches on a dating app can be difficult! If you are struggling to find matches, Tinder Gold may help.

Members of the LGBTQIA+ community may find Tinder Gold especially useful. Men tend to swipe right more often than women, so lesbian users may need the added boost that Tinder Gold can provide. Of course, gay men may also face a lot of competition on Tinder, and Gold can help you stand out from the rest.

Tinder Gold may be worth it if you are shy. If you are often shy in your dating life, and struggle to make the first move, consider upgrading to Tinder Gold! With a Tinder Gold subscription, you can see who likes you, giving you some added confidence when attempting to make a move.
- Men or women can make the first move on Tinder, so female Tinder users may consider Tinder Gold for these purposes as well.

Tinder Gold is worth it if you travel a lot. Tinder Gold lets you enter Travel Mode and switch your location to other areas. Frequent travelers may therefore find Tinder Gold useful, as you can switch your location before you leave and assess the dating pool in your destination.
- Although most Tinder Gold subscribers are men, women who travel often should still strongly consider Tinder Gold for this feature alone!
