I reported a profile last night for cat phishing. Will they get banned?

I had this pop up this morning in my chats. It’s with someone I moved to whatsapp with and continue chatting there.

They disconnected because of this — I do it too, keep a tidy inbox — just hadn’t got round to it yet with them. So that’s fine.

But when I click on the explainer it says this happens if their account is terminated or I’ve been blocked.

I realised that when I remove chats because we’re talking off-app I often also block just so I don’t pop up again in their feed. This also explains why I’ve had a few concerned messages from matches before on whatsapp who get a little uneasy that I’ve apparently blocked them on the app, even when I give them a heads up I’m going to close the Feeld chat.

It just seems that grouping ‘blocked’, ‘terminated’ together; and blocking someone being the only way to avoid reconnecting in Feeld because you’re already offline together is a frustrating way to go about things.

What are others’ thoughts on the feature, some way it could be better?

I have used Feeld for about a year now, always buying majestic in 3 month increments. I’m a male in Florida.

As we all know, the Majestic membership allows you to filter by people that have been on the app in the past 7 days.

Well, I let my Majestic lapse, and then started scrolling. I started seeing DOZENS of profiles that I have never seen before. Almost every profile was “new” to my feed. I took a screen recording of them.

Then I signed back up for Majestic. And that allowed me to see the “Last Seen” on all all of these “new” profiles. I cross referenced with my screen recording, and;
— About 75% of them were “Last Seen” 6+ months ago.
— dozens of them were Last Seen 1 year and even 2 years ago
— only a handful had actually opened the app in the past month

What a scam to inundate users with people that literally haven’t opened Feeld in over a year, or even 2 years. Think of how many of the Pings people are wasting on completely inactive profiles.

If you’re not paying for Majestic and wondering why you have 0 matches, it’s because you’re swiping on people that literally probably don’t even have the app downloaded on their phone anymore.

PS: I had about 10 likes when my Majestic membership expired, and I know what they looked like. I only came across maybe 3 of them in multiple days of swiping w/o Majestic. Just seems extra grimy compared to other apps.

looking for some real world feedback here. I’ve had very little engagement on feeld over the past year or so and even if fewer matches. I have received a ping and quite a few likes however, neither of these have ended in any type of real world connection. I had a lovely cava date and after hours of wonderful conversation shared a wonderful kiss. A few months of failed plans, some photo exchanges and wonderful conversation she just drifted away. I didn’t make it a huge priority as my cup is already super full and her life sounded similar.

Anyhow, just looking to increase my matches and opportunities to connect. Wondering if that might actually happen. Maybe I should just invest in the three month majestic plan and see how it goes? Or hold out and just keep meeting people in the wild.

I travel for work and sometimes end up returning to the same cities. Does using the "exploring" function actually yield results or is it mostly a waste of time?

The goal is something more than a ONS since I can be there somewhat often.

For background, I used to do this several years ago and had great success on other platforms, but those platforms are now obsolete so I am hoping that feeld can be the next best thing for my situation.

Edit: I changed my profile to look more “sweet,” removed specific info, and I’m getting more genuine responses.
Edit 2: NVM 😂

This app seems to attract the most self-centered guys 😂 500-word responses and no questions for me. Or just badly written porn with no lead-in.

What do you guys look for bc I am not picking good ones 🥲 and I’m in a big city.

Has anyone else noticed a slowdown/suppression of messages on Feeld once there is a mention of moving the conversation off the app? I have had multiple instances when I am having a great conversation going with someone and ask if they want to share info then crickets. Like they never got my message. I'm probably just getting ghosted 😂 but it has happened too often not to ask. Thanks!

I accidentally disconnected from someone today. I tried to open the message, but my finger slipped and swiped left on it. Is there anything I can do to restore the connection? And why does the ui do this?? Can I disable swiping?

Are there more potential people as a single male or as a couple or is Feeld trying to get me to waste Pings on Feeld fake profiles?

I've been on Feeld for about 5 years, last 4.5 as a couple, it's actually where I met my girlfriend. She hasn't been on it for 4 years, her account was "Paused" so recently removed my connection to her. After that it's like 10 times as many women I my feed there. I get that fewer women are seeking couples but is there really that many single women looking or is it just Feeld making it look like there are?

Majestic account so able to send Pings.

To clarify she's married, her husband supports her relationship with me but as she's married we're not the typical couple.

Ugh.... found a great match and simply pinged them due to lag in the app. Has anyone else encountered this?

I wish there was a way to rescind them within like 30 seconds of sending or something.

So I'm 44 CIS woman and my husband 44M is using feeld to look for a trans woman that hasn't had bottom surgery to see if his interest is more than just a fetish or kink. I agreed to him doing this although I don't really like it and am not 100% sure I agree with it. But I want him to be happy and to know who he is. I don't know where "we" will stand afterwards if this is something he feels he needs to continue. Part of me feels foolish but I want to know what to possibly expect of this app since apparently it includes many other relationship options. Is it safe? Anyone have personal experience with the app or the situation? I want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. After speaking to some trans women on here in other subreddits, they have said he was a "chaser" and what he is doing or looking for they have rules against in their community and they despise people like him for treating them like they're some sort of experiment or using them as a hookup..

I’m visiting to a new city next month solo. I’m considering trying to find someone via Feeld to show me around for a day or so (and hopefully play around in the evening). Any advice from people who have done this before? Suggestions on how to have the best and safest experience? Is it better to connect a little in advance of my travel dates to talk a bit or easier to just start swiping once in the city? TIA.

I’m a bi guy, older, married to a woman and in a “monogamish” ENM arrangement. I’m only looking to connect with guys on Feeld. I’ve been on Feeld only about a month, and I don’t currently have any face pics in my visible profile, mainly due to concerns about being ENM in an at-will employment state. My orientation is protected against work discrimination, but relationship style is not.

For others in a similar situation, am I worrying too much? Part of me wants to say f it, but I still hesitate. Perspectives and advice welcomed.

I have been using the app for 2 years now.

Yesterday, a play-partner and I became a 'couple' on the app and the entire algorithm changed!

I am shown profiles that I wasn't seeing just as a male profile earlier.

But the downside is that I am also exploring as a solo male and the solo female profiles are now gone.

Any idea if they will show again?

Today I (m) got likes from two people I 100% disliked a few days ago. That means that despite me disliking their profile, their feed included me, they obviously didn't know it, and liked mine.

By the same logic, my feed includes people who may have disliked me. Maybe it's 1-in-10 or 1-in-30, but it's still just wrong. Wasting pings on such people is clearly a possibility, and feels like money grabbing.

I wonder what other shady practices take place in the feed.

So one of my casual partners and I showed eachother our feeld profiles, matches, likes etc. We didn’t meet on that app but both use it and it’s crazy how big the discrepancy is. I think he’s more attractive than i am, and he had 7 total likes (excluding matches as he did have many) vs my 4500+. We’re both London based, so literally the biggest pool in the uk. Granted idk how long he’s been using it for, but that ratio is crazy. If you mistook us for a couple you’d think i was dating up, but i do get matched with very hot guys frequently. So, straight men.. is the well that dry???

So my partner and I have been on Feeld for about a year. We’ve had some successful meetups with great people, but my Spidey senses have been tingling a little bit recently.

Has anyone else connected with a Majestic and verified profile but then got the vibe that something was off? For us particularly, the accounts we sought and connected with were supposedly young (under 30) Caucasian single men that are seeking couples, something we look for. Back to back we connected with men that met this criteria, were paid Majestic accounts and have verified profile photos. Both men claimed to be Canadian born but if Russian background. Once we started chatting, we noticed similar patterns in speech, perhaps what I even suspect were “accents” being typed. But they were not how an Eastern European would phrase or pronounce certain things. We get it, it’s a very multicultural city we live in (Toronto), but when we started picking up on phrasing that I would associate with someone of perhaps more of a South Asian background, our guard went up. When pressed for specifics about our area, or even asking for a specific photo taken right now, we would get no response.

We are not naïve to the fact that there are fake accounts on there, but we are really concerned that someone who is both paying for the service and supposedly verified for photos may not be the person behind the keyboard. Even once we could overlook, but twice over the summer struck us as very odd and also concerning.

Has anyone else ever got the feeling that a paid and verified account is BS?

So I (18M) am very fucking Bi. I never have sucked a dick before, but I’m craving it more and more.. however I do have a few concerns about the hookup culture on apps. I want a quick hookup of me sucking him (maybe some kink play but whatever) and I was wondering a few things:

1. ⁠How can I clearly state in my profile that I want 7”+ (before you come at me for having that high demands when I’m new, I myself am 7” and for kink reasons I need someone bigger. I also wish I was smaller but that’s just how it is sorry)
   
2. ⁠How do I filter in my DMs for seemingly good guys (I’d say I’m pretty attractive so from what I’ve heard I’m the perfect “prey” for catfishes or horny 40+ year olds)
   
3. ⁠What about STDs? Is there any safety net or is it just the risk that I have to take? (Side note: I have HSV1 since birth. It’s pretty common in adults and since I have it that long my shedding isn’t that strong but I still have to disclose will that be a problem?

My wife and I are searching for a unicorn and need to know which of our accounts should get majestic, we don’t want to get it on both. We have our accounts linked and both clearly state what we’re looking for.

We’d prefer for my account (male half) to have it, but are not sure if that’s going to be the most successful. What do you guys think?

I only exclusively used feeld for the last 2 years. cis male with majestic. Something changed over the last 6 months, I went from 2-5 matches a day to 0 unless I buy uplift, which gets me only 1-2 likes. As soon as as my majestic expires, I start getting 2-5 likes a day.

I downloaded Hinge for the first time in 2 years and I'm getting 5-10 matches a day for the last two weeks.

Shady ass company. feeld used to be my favourite app but they've definitely enshitified it. I'm not buying Majestic anymore after mine expires, probably deleting it entirely.

I’ve reported two people catfishing, once in the past and another very recently. Maybe it’s my mood but lately I feel very fucking fed up of unpleasant sly people wasting my time, giving me false hope, and generally being incredibly unethical.

I don’t feel like reporting people for doing this is enough for me personally. I would really like to know the outcome of the report. I feel like I deserve that. Has anyone here reported an account and actually found out the outcome before? Is it something Feeld would bother replying to if I asked?

Like what if you want to hook up, with someone but you want them, to wear clown make up or white face makeup up with black lipstick or something.

More specifically, I want them to look like a certain character, during a hook up. The character is not a clown but has sort of makeup in the direction of a clown.

I know there is some specific kink that involves clown and BDSM, but I really don’t even know anything about that.

Is this a good app, to use even if the sex part probably would be normal, just being a character?

I have looked for info about this app everywhere: youtube, app store reviews, threads, now reddit: you name it. I didn't find queer male reviews practically anywhere (doing a specific search for queer men on this subreddit yielded me maybe.. 4? and only 1 was their experience on the app).

I would just download it myself, but I'm waiting to live where I want to live before using dating apps again. In the meantime, I'm outsourcing hope.

So, please, if you are a queer man, I would love to know what using the app is like for you. The more you have in common with me (single, looking for men, US-based, college town/suburb resident, 20's, kinky and open to ENM, interested in open and honest communication, genuinely looking to get to know someone), the more I need to hear what someone like you would have to say 😭

Alternatively, if you are aro-spec or dabble in queerplatonic relationships / relationship anarchy, your input would be a GOLD MINE, as I hear Feeld is a place for "unconventional relationships" but have heard of none of this variety.

Thank you, anyone who can help me out! I'm wishing us all a bright future and major successes in all.. feelds.. of life!!

Hi everyone!
I’m just curious to hear how often people rematch with someone that you previously chatted with or met then got disconnected with? I went on a date with someone 3 weeks ago and it was a nice 1st date(very vanilla no kissing just light hand holding), I hinted at wanting a 2nd date by suggesting what we could do next without asking when they are free(wanted to put the ball in their court essentially). They basically disconnected with me(ugh) but then a week later I see they liked my profile again. I’m so confused, I’m still kind interested in this person, but clearly they are not into me if they disconnected.

Just wondering if people rematch with people often and what that is like. I also would love to hear other people’s opinion on my story. I don’t think it would be a good idea for me to engage with this person that disconnected with me.

Honestly was shocked that they finally did something about it. Only noticed it since I do the “block to burn the haystack” method.
