Looking to date couples?
Finding couples to date online is super easy once you sign-up for the right dating sites and apps.
You can join as a couple with your partner, create a profile and then apply search filters as you look for your perfect couple.
And with Tinder being one of the world’s most popular dating apps that’s used by 75,000,000 people, it makes sense that it might be your first port of call.
But is Tinder for couples? And if not, what are the best alternatives? This is exactly what we’ll be looking at in this article.
Is Tinder For Couples?
Unfortunately, despite its popularity and reputation as one of the world’s best online dating apps, Tinder actually isn’t for couples.
There are many reasons for this. For one thing, you can’t join as a couple. And because people don’t use it to find other couples, you’ll be swiping endlessly until you might against all odds find a couple who’s looking for the same things as you and your partner.
This is because Tinder doesn’t come with a search function, which means that you can’t even “search for couples” should you wish to.
Not just that but Tinder, despite its reputation as a hookup app originally is generally used by serious and casual daters who are looking to flirt, date, and see where things lead. They are not typically looking for something non-monogamous.
In other words, Tinder isn’t a niche/kink dating app. Instead, singles sign-up to meet other singles in their local area for romance, friendship, or a casual hookup.
7 Dating Apps Like Tinder to Meet Couples
There aren’t a huge number of dating apps for couples available to join, but in this section, we’re going to run you through the top 7 that have been rated for their safety and security, their user base, as well as their extra tools, and features.
1. AdultFriendFinder
AdultFriendFinder (AFF) is widely seen as the OG of adult dating. It’s used by non-monogamous couples who are looking to meet other couples for various purposes, including hookups, kink, and all kinds of casual sex encounters.
Getting started is easy, although you will need to upgrade to the premium version in order to message other couples and get chatting. You can sign-up as a couple for a month, three months, or even a whole year should you wish, with AFF offering a range of pricing details.
AFF is used by more than 80,000,000 worldwide, many of whom are couples looking for the same thing you are. To find couples, you can tweak the search filters and send anyone you like the look of a direct message, a gift, or a flirt to initiate contact.
As well as being an adult dating site, AFF also lets people stream live content and there’s plenty of multimedia to get stuck into. You can also enter the chat rooms and become a part of the AFF community, which is another great way to meet couples here.
2. Ashley Madison
Launched in 2001, Ashley Madison markets itself as a social networking service for adults who want to meet other consenting adults to have affairs. This means it’s primarily used by singles who are either married or in a relationship and looking to meet someone in the same situation as they are who also want to spice things up a bit.
That said, this is a legit dating app that can also be used by couples who are looking for other couples for dates, friendship, and casual sex. You can also use it as a couple and look for bored singles who want some fun if that’s your prerogative.
The community on Ashley Madison is super active, and the interface is elegantly and intuitively designed, but the main selling point here is the anonymity that Ashley Madison affords its users. If you prefer, you can create an anonymous profile but whatever you decide to do, discretion is the byword here.
You can sign-up for free before upgrading to a paid plan when you want to message other users and take advantage of more features that are behind a payment gateway.
3. Feeld
Out of all the top-rated dating apps, Feeld is one that truly stands out for being aimed at both singles and couples equally. It’s what’s known as a location-based app, which means it pairs you up with like-minded couples who live near you.
All you have to do is create an account as a couple before Feed uses your interests and locations to connect you with people you’re likely to get along with. You must, however, download the app and install it onto your phone because there is as yet no desktop version.
You can pay per day for Feeld’s services, with prices starting at less than $1 per day. After that, you’re free to message and flirt with other users who are looking for ethical non-monogamous relationships and casual sex encounters.
Feeld is super inclusive and tolerant of all genders and sexual preferences. Its users are also very upfront and not shy about expressing what they want, which means it isn’t for the more – shall we say – conservative couples.
4. SwingLifestyle
As per its name, SwingLifestyle is aimed at swingers looking for other swingers. It’s been around since 2001, it’s affordably priced and it claims to attract more than 5,000,000 users worldwide each month.
It’s used by both singles looking to swing and non-monogamous couples who are into couple swapping. What’s more, you can also use it to find swinging clubs anywhere in the US, which can further help you and your partner find a couple (or even a single swinger) who wants the same things you do.
Signing up to Swing Lifestyle can be done for free but you will need to subscribe to a paid plan in order to send a message. Prices start out from $14.95 per month and you can subscribe for one month, three months, six months, or a whole year.
Video and group chat features are available and you're free to upload and share explicit images. You can also enter the forums and chat with singles and couples for free.
5. SDC
SDC stands for Swingers Date Club. It’s a legit adult dating site for swinging couples who are seeking erotic adventures of various kinds, including BDSM and other types of kink.
This dating app is used by around 168,000 people and its membership is open to all kinds of people with various sexual preferences, including gays, lesbians, trans, and – of course – couples.
You can use the app to find threesomes, couple swaps, and swinging opportunities in local clubs, with sex parties advertised on SDC each week. And while it isn’t free to use, SDC is competitively priced, with a monthly $18 payment option available.
Moreover, SDC is a community-driven app, which is to say you can meet people on a regular at parties and events as well as get involved in the chat rooms, and share your videos. You can also post your own parties, too.
6. Kasidie
Kasidie is another couple dating app and website that’s aimed at both singles and couples looking to inject some excitement into the bedroom. It’s strictly for people who are looking for casual sex/swinging opportunities and isn’t aimed at those who want something deeper and longer-term.
You can use Kasidie on your phone or desktop to find swinging couples, with Kasidie’s roster of members interested in things like swinger parties, couples dating, voyeurism, orgies, role-playing, BDSM, and more.
Signing up is super easy and shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes and you can join as a couple. Once you’re a member, you can also earn yourselves a Certified Member badge, which boosts your credibility and makes it easier to find couples who are taking this as seriously as you are.
There’s also a questionnaire that you can take in order to find couples who are the right fit for you, as well as forums and events listings. Like many adult dating websites, Kasidie requires you to upgrade your account in order to send messages, and you can purchase 150 tokens for $10.
7. OkCupid
OkCupid is widely known as one of the most tolerant adult dating sites for couples around. It’s LGBTQ+ friendly, and its user base is incredibly diverse – but you must register as a single person first.
That shouldn’t be too much of a problem, however, because many of OkCupid’s users are looking to explore their sexuality. As a couple, you can tweak your profile so that people know exactly what you’re looking for and you can also tweak the search filter so that you’re able to focus on profiles that are interested in sex with couples.
Unlike a lot of adult dating sites, OKCupid is actually free to send messages. That said, there are strict rules around messaging – for instance, you can’t send a follow-up message until someone has replied to your initial message.
And with 50,000,000 registered profiles worldwide, OKCupid is one of the richest, most diverse dating sites you can join. Matches are suggested according to your profile and personality and you can link your social media accounts so that your photos are pulled for ease of use.
