What Is Feeld?

If you’re in the dating game, you’ve likely heard of the big players for online dating apps: Tinder, Bumble, Hinge. These are great for singles looking for “the one” but there are plenty of folks who are seeking something slightly less ordinary in their romantic life. 

Feeld is a dating app for unconventional relationships. It welcomes users of all types but is best for anyone looking for non-vanilla, kink, or non-traditional dating structures. If you’re interested in trying a more inclusive, open-minded approach to meeting someone online, Feeld might be worth a download. 

What Is Feeld?

A dating app for anyone interested in non-traditional relationship dynamics, Feeld includes (amongst other things) a platform for people into kink, polyamory, open relationships, ethical non-monogamy, any any other desire for connections that don’t necessarily fit the mould of the everyday heteronormative structure. 

Originally marketed as Tinder for threesomes, Feeld was founded in 2014 and quickly evolved into a broader scope as it found its footing, including a unique set-up in which couples can explore together as well as solo account options for users seeking someone(s) who reflect their preferences and values. 

Account Set Up

Just like other swipe-based dating apps, Feeld functions similarly but also offers a broader array of identities, including single, couples, the gender spectrum, and almost as many relationship styles as you can imagine. 

From there, as you might expect, users can create a profile, add photos, and write up any type of description that outlines who they might be and what they are seeking. Going slightly beyond “long walks on the beach,” expect Feeld profiles to also include their desires, boundaries, and other preferences for transparency. Users value open communication right from the start. 

Users of Feeld

A diverse platform of users, Feeld attracts people who are interested in:

• Ethical non-monogamy (ENM)
• Couples who want to explore or open their relationship simultaneously or in tandem
• Individuals exploring various avenues of kink 
• LGBTQIA2S+ users
• Anyone who is curious and open to exploring their sexual, romantic, and relationship interests

While these categories of user might not have obvious overlap, the shared interest lay in the desire for honest, consensual, and non-judgement connections. Feeld has garnered a reputation for welcoming exploratory interactions down these avenues.

Feeld vs. Other Dating Apps

There’s room for all sorts of types of dating apps (for all different types of people). Feeld isn’t attempting to replicate the types of interactions you might find on Bumble. Instead, it’s a niche space that intentionally carves out a space for seeking connections without the mainstream pressure for monogamous, long-term relationships. 

With users openly revealing their desires and boundaries on their profile, people can look for more aligned connections that might feel more welcoming and authentic than other dating platforms. 

Keeping it Private

While Feeld encourages users to be open and honest, there’s no need to overshare to find what you’re seeking. As with any other dating app, you can maintain your privacy and safety on Feeld with Hushed by using a secondary phone number for safely calling and texting anyone you meet on the app. Setting healthy boundaries around your personal information is always an attractive option.
