Posting this after roughly a year on best bbw dating sites for serious love? — niche & community dating | d — most of what I had read didn't hold up.

The bit that keeps catching me out is that the free tier resets every time the app updates — and nobody mentions it when they talk about working out which is worth the time.

The pattern I keep seeing is that the response you give to a low-effort opener is a better predictor of how many conversations survive past day three than how many matches you accumulate, but that was months ago and things move.

Where I would value another read, particularly for plus-size users:

  • Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions for plus-size daters?
  • Has anyone compared the two directly in your particular market?
  • Does that match what others see in your particular market?

Shortening the bio by half got three actual meetings out of six weeks and nothing else came close with best bbw dating.

I'd frame that differently. @Scarlett Harris, the note on dating sites produced nothing on my end.

My sticking point is that the search function ignores about half of what you set — and nobody mentions it when they talk about working out which is worth the time.

Asking one real question instead of four made conversations last past the first exchange, which surprised me with this.

My sticking point is that the photo verification step makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones — and nobody mentions it when they talk about working out which is worth the time.

More often than not, for plus-size daters, whether an account has been verified tends to decide how many conversations survive past day three, though your area changes the picture completely.

Practical notes on working out which is worth the time:

  • Keep the first meeting short and public, especially for plus-size users.
  • Check when the account was last active, and doubly so for plus-size users.
  • Swap the group photo for a clear one — it is the difference between a reply and silence.
  • Turn the notifications off if working out which is worth the time is your main concern.

I'd add Datewander if you're building a shortlist.

Curious what others found on that side of it.

The one change that worked was suggesting a meeting inside two weeks — it produced better matches within about ten days.

Is that still true given working out which is worth the time?

Reading profiles properly before swiping improved things more than any paid feature.

The pattern I keep seeing is that the quality of your first message explains more of how long a conversation lasts than which tier you're on ever did.

Different result on my end. @Scarlett Harris, the profile-quality point may have been better luck than most get.

Something worth knowing: whether the photos look like the same person predicts how satisfied you're after a month better than the total registered user count for plus-size users.

Rendate came up in a similar thread and was worth the time.

Something worth knowing: on dating sites, how long you leave a conversation running makes more difference than the total registered user count, and the sample size here is basically one.

The thing I didn't expect was that the support inbox produces a template reply and closes the ticket, especially once working out which is worth the time comes into it.
