Hinge today launched a feature that allows users to add their “relationship type” to their profile, whether it’s “monogamous”, “non-monogamous” or “find out my relationship type”. The update allows users to express exactly what they are looking for, reducing irrelevant matches more effectively.
Starting today Relationship Types is available to all Hinge users worldwide. Note that adding functionality to the hinge configuration file is optional. If the user decides to add their type, it will appear in the Virtues section of the profile.
Like Hinge’s “Interest in Dating” profile feature, there’s also a “Background” plaintext option so users can add more context about their relationship type. Dating Intentions, launched over the summer, asks users to choose a dating goal, such as “Long Term Relationship”, “Short Term Relationship”, “Life Partner”, or “Define My Dating Goals”.
“Hinge is a place where anyone who meets on a date can find intentional and meaningful romantic connections, and I hope this will usher in a new era of dating where “relationship” is a term that breaks with traditional and heterosexual connotations.” the ad says. “With the launch of Relationship Types, we’re giving users the ability to openly share what kind of relationship they’re looking for, so from the moment they view their profile, they have a new way to know if someone is a match for their goals.”
Some non-monogamous users find it difficult to use Hinge and other traditional dating apps because it’s harder to narrow down like-minded people. While there are dating apps specifically for non-monogamous couples such as Feeld, #Open, MoreThanOne, and PolyFinda, Hinge is better known.
Cosmopolitan writer and non-monogamous educator Gabriel Smith notes how difficult it is for non-monogamous people to find a partner on dating apps.
“Dating apps are not the most helpful for non-monogamous people in finding a partner. It can be difficult to sift through the noise and find a partner who is on the same page. Plus, the dating pool often feels small,” Smith said. , wrote.
Recently, there has been an increase in non-monogamous relationships. According to the 2022 Hinge, according to the BBC, one in five Hinge users will “think” about an open relationship. One in ten users said they have tried an open relationship.
