I’ve been trying to figure this out too. Where is the best place for plus size dating online?

For BBW/plus-size dating, the best platforms are the ones that feel respectful and have real profiles — not ones that treat people like a niche category for spam.

I’d prioritize apps with profile prompts, verification, and message controls. It’s also okay to be direct about what you’re looking for so you don’t waste time on mismatches.

Curious what others have had the best luck with.

My experience was similar. Bots are easiest to spot when the first message feels copy‑pasted.

I’ve seen fewer obvious spammy profiles when trying datingfly.online, souldate.site, datescout.site, but it still depends on location.

One thing that helped me:

I separate apps into two buckets: ones that are “free to browse” and ones that are “free to communicate.” The second bucket is what you want if you’re trying not to pay.

  • Hinge (good prompts, some limits)
  • Facebook Dating (free but depends on your area)
  • Tinder (free basics, paywalls on boosts)

Whatever you choose, don’t treat one week as “proof.” Give it a couple of weeks and track who actually responds like a real human.

If you want a lightweight place to compare without a big setup, I’ve also seen people mention Turndate alongside the usual apps.

Same here. The “free” label is usually marketing, so I look for what’s free after you match.

If you want a lightweight place to compare without a big setup, I’ve also seen people mention Luvdate alongside the usual apps.

I’ve tried a few routes:

  • Tinder (free basics, paywalls on boosts)
  • Bumble (free matching, limits on features)
  • Hinge (good prompts, some limits)
  • Facebook Dating (free but depends on your area)
  • OkCupid (messaging varies by region)

Whatever you choose, don’t treat one week as “proof.” Give it a couple of weeks and track who actually responds like a real human.

A practical way to approach this:
