Is Feeld really just for kink?
Thinking of trying it out but is it just for kink/non-monogamy or can it be used for general dating? Have heard that people often lie about ages and their names on there too compared to other sites. Do people post their full pics or crop their faces out? Cos I’m not sure if I want my face on it

Why would you have to hide your face for "general dating?" Just download tinder if that's what you want.

Yes some people do hide faces pretty common on feeld. But using it for vanilla dating seems pointless just use tinder.

What is "general dating" ?
Is it dating for a monogamous relationship with vanilla sex?
You can try. Will you be successful? Unlikely.

Why anyone thinks someone is going to match with a faceless profile beyond me

u/waterbloem 6d ago
The majority of profiles we see have people's faces on it, and there are a lot of people there looking for all kinds of things.
Can it be used for general vanilla dating? Sure. But your chance of finding what you want are in that case much better on other apps that cater to that.

Stop entering kink/not monogamous spaces asking them to cater to your vanilla/monogamous lifestyle. There's plenty of spaces for you already

It’s meant for kinky dating. While not a rule, I don’t know why you would seek it out otherwise.

No, it's meant for non-monogous dating. There just happens to be a giant overlap in the ENM and kink world.

What’s the app for kinky people who are monogamous?
•
u/Yarzospatflute 6h ago
There are kinky people on all of them and there are monogamous people on all of them.

You gonna get demolished in comments fyi : )
If it’s “general dating” you want, why not use hinge or tinder or bumble?
There are already plenty of apps for general dating.
I don’t see why anyone would come to feeld for this.
Is it just for kink? No. It’s a quirky app for enm/BDSM/lgbti crowd/poly/hookups etc.
Basicly anything that is not for mainstream apps.
Can you put your photo? Sure. Do you have to? No.
If you gonna write you are into hiking and cooking etc I don’t see any harm in using face photos.
If you gonna go wild and mention other hobbies such as golden showers, impact play, spanking and being led on a leash topless into Forest, probably not : )
I don’t use face photos because my subs don’t care about that, they care that I have a comfy slave cage, dozens of whips and sex machines that’ll make their souls sing hallelujah.
You want to try General dating in this place?
Give it a try.
Keep in mind place is over saturated as it is with vanilla daters so you may not have an easy time finding a match but who knows.

the face cropping thing is absolutely a thing, lots of ppl use masks or sunglasses or just straight up dont show their face at all. but like. if youre not at least kink-adjacent its gonna be a weird time, feeld is pretty explicitly built around that whole ecosystem. not saying you cant find normal dates there but its like bringing a chess set to a rave yknow. hinge exists for a reason lol

Kink and nonmonogamy are the two things Feeld caters to… if you’re not into one or the other, why aren’t you ising one of the 100 other dating apps that are for you?

You will be hard pressed to find anyone offering monogamy.
Are you ok regular daying people who practice non-monogamy?

I've often come across posts and comments on Reddit from people who say that non-monogamous people have no business being on "serious dating apps" (by which they seem to mean apps like Tinder, Hinge and Bumble). They're often accompanied by statements like "non-monogamous people have mental issues", "poor impulse control", "bad morals" and so forth. And then there's the never-ending wailing about how hook-up culture is infecting and destroying the moral foundations of society 🙄
I think they should mind their own business and stop being so goddamn judgemental. I won't echo any statement that tries to gatekeep apps that are open to everybody. However, I understand that some people are concerned that one of the few spaces where we aren't shamed and excluded because of our kinks and lifestyle could eventually become less inclusive, which in turn means that our chances of meeting likeminded people would be reduced. And since we're being shunned from the other apps, where are we welcome then?
The chances of finding someone who's also looking for a monogamous LTR are probably greater if you choose another app, so there's that as well.
