Navigating Dating as Queer, Kinky, and/or Polyamorous
A dating app for the curious.
A Look at Feeld
Dating can be a wild ride for anyone, but throw in being queer, kinky, or polyamorous, and you’ve got yourself a whole new level of complexity. The mainstream dating scene often doesn’t quite get us – the folks who colour outside the lines of traditional relationships. Enter Feeld, an app that’s reshaping the landscape for those of us who don't fit the mould.
The Struggle is Real
For many of us in the queer, kinky, and poly communities, finding compatible partners who respect and understand our lifestyle can feel like searching for a unicorn - no pun intended! The usual dating apps are often geared towards the heteronormative and monogamous crowd. Swiping right sometimes feels more like swiping into a sea of confusion and misunderstanding, riddled with the anxiety of “coming out” over, and over again. Can I get a “Been there!”?
Hook-Up Culture: A Double-Edged Sword
Hook-up culture has its pros and cons, especially for our communities. On one hand, it offers the freedom to explore our desires without the pressure of commitment. Casual encounters can be a great way to discover what you like, meet new people, and have a bit of fun along the way.
But on the flip side, it can sometimes feel shallow and disconnected. For Trans Folks, They/Thems, and Femmes, a simple hook-up can be especially fraught with risk. For those of us looking for deeper connections, the endless swiping can become tiresome, nay, stressful. Not to mention, there’s the constant need to explain (and re-explain) your identity and boundaries. Fun? Not so much.
Enter Feeld: Your New Wing-Person
Feeld gets it. This app is designed for the curious and open-minded, specifically catering to those of us who identify as Queer, Kinky, or Polyamorous. Here’s how Feeld tackles some of our common pain points:
Inclusive and Open-Minded: Feeld’s user base is diverse and inclusive, making it a welcoming space for all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures. You are among your people here.
Highly Detailed Profiles: Feeld lets you share your preferences, interests, and boundaries upfront. This means fewer awkward conversations and more meaningful connections. With over twenty different sexuality a gender identity options, Feeld neutralises the “coming out” anxiety that can accompany every single connection you’d make on any other app. You can also link ALL of your partners’ profiles with yours!
Private Spaces: Feeld offers private online spaces for couples and groups, making it easier to find like-minded individuals or explore together.
Safe Environment: Safety is a top priority. Feeld is big on consent and respect, ensuring users adhere to these values.
Sure, the app has some growing pains – it’s the first of its kind, after all. But those glitches are a small price to pay for an app that’s revolutionising how we connect.
Shared Values: Community, Respect, and Authenticity
Feeld and our communities share core values: openness, consent, and living life as your most authentic self. This app isn’t only about finding a quick fling like some sort of kinky Tinder; it’s about creating the space where you can truly be yourself and connect with others who appreciate you for who you are.
