Why I stopped traditional dating I've told y'all before that I believe in having lovers instead of boyfriends, and that's because I value freedom and autonomy. But it is so exhausting trying to find that level of transparency when traditional dating can be so performance based. I need people who are entirely secure in who they are and what they want, because authenticity is a non negotiable for me, which is why I love using Feeld. It's one of the few spaces I've found where I don't have to pretend to want less or more just to make others comfortable. Radical honesty is the default. I get to put exactly what I'm looking for and what my values are right on my profile. From day one, I'm looking through a community of adults who actually know how to communicate and they are entirely clear about their intentions. Whether you're single or just exploring new dynamics, it's a completely judgement free space for people who want genuine human connection without the shame or the rules. No matter what you're looking for, if you're ready to find people who match your wavelength and drop the performance, the link to join Feeld is in my bio.
