AdultFriendFinder vs. Feeld: Which is better for couples?

When dating sites and apps first emerged on the scene, they were not only fairly straightforward in their design and matchmaking abilities, but they were also very much conservative in their outlook, designed for heterosexual singles to find a monogamous relationship.

Fast forward to today, however, and mainstream online dating has loosened its restrictions considerably, with a wider embrace of human sexual orientations and a greater legitimacy given to connections of all shapes, sizes, and durations.

Couples dating, however, is still not as widely supported, with only a handful of apps and sites offering native support for non-monogamous lifestyles.

Two of the standouts in that respect are AdultFriendFinder , one of the internet's oldest adult dating sites, and Feeld (originally 3nder), an app designed from the ground up for practitioners of polyamory, kink, and swinging to connect.

Whether you're new to couples dating or only recently expanding your search to the digital world, you're probably curious about where it's best to start your search.

We put AdultFriendFinder and Feeld in a head-to-head contest to see which one offers couples the best chance of finding connection, whether they're looking for other couples or simply another single to add to their fun.

However, as dated as the AFF interface looks , it offers fantastic native support for couples dating and does a great job integrating couples' accounts into its search algorithms.

In other words, though it still looks every bit the '90s-era website, its functionality for couples dating is basically unmatched against other web-based dating sites.

In feel and design, Feeld is AFF's opposite, eminently modern and aesthetically pleasing, but Feeld and AFF share a common support for non-monogamous dating.

From the signup screen, you'll be asked about the "group dynamics" that you're interested in, as well as how open you are to exploring outside your comfort zone.

And if you are already in an open relationship with another Feeld user or users, you have the option to add them to your "Constellation," a collection of partnered profiles that will be visible to everyone who comes across you on the app and with whom you share an automatic ability to group chat.
