Worry not, dating apps are the modern-day matchmakers that make navigating the dating scene an efficient and effective process, one that attracts many young singles, according to a research published on Pew Research Centre. But with so many options available, how are Hong Kong’s eligible bachelors and bachelorettes going to cut through the meaningless connections to find their soulmate? Well, perhaps these super exclusive dating apps might help, but only if you meet their entry requirements…

Raya
An online community for the rich and famous, this dating app’s process involves an algorithm and a strong global committee filled with hundreds of individuals of varying backgrounds that determines the suitability of any potential app user. It’s been said that getting an invitation to this members-only online society from an existing member would improve chances of your application being approved, as does being a creative or an expert in a particular professional field. And if it is, landing a spot in this exclusive community might grant you a chance to go on a virtual date with the likes of Cara Delevigne or Channing Tatum.

Luxy
A dating platform for only the wealthiest love-seekers, this app analyses and approves applicants only after checking their income and tax returns, all to ensure that the community consists of only the most affluent and eligible bachelors and bachelorettes, removing the risks of coming across scammers and catfishes. Cutting to the chase and saving time on meaningless first dates, the app connects members to a pool of society’s most successful CEOs, lawyers, doctors, athletes and investors. According to the the promotional literature, 41 percent of members are worth at least US$1 million.

The Inner Circle
For individuals serious about finding their happily ever after, this app offers you the opportunity to build genuine connections. Say goodbye to the endless swiping and bland digital chats, because this online network lets users share their values, interests and their idea of a perfect date, putting personality ahead in the matchmaking experience. The registration process is as simple as registering your Facebook or LinkedIn account, which simultaneously allows the company verify all applicants’ identities and avoid unauthentic profiles from joining the community. Inner Circle also lets you meet your match at the various members-only singles events and party nights hosted around the world — providing a safe space for genuine romantics to come together and find love.
