From Looking for Love to Swiping the Field: Online Dating in the U.S.

Feeld previously called 3nder is a location-based online dating application for iOS and Android that facilitates communication between people interested in ethical non-monogamy , polyamory , casual sex , kink , swinging , and other alternative relationship models and sexual preferences. Feeld is developed by Feeld Ltd. Trifonov conceived the app after his girlfriend Ana Kirova told him that she had feelings for other people. Feeld initially known as 3nder received its first seed round from UK-based group, Haatch. In late the app experienced a major outage of several days connected to an app update. Following the update many users experienced severe difficulties to use the app. Feeld also started to show the real-time location of its users publicly, a move criticized for its privacy and safety implications. Regarding the safety concerns connected to real life location sharing, CEO Ana Kirova initially suggested in a blog post that concerned users can hide their profile from other users completely through the app's privacy settings.

We did this by means of a field experiment on the popular mobile dating app Tinder. Thirty-two fictitious Tinder profiles that randomly differed in job status and job prestige were evaluated by other, real Tinder users.
