Third time I have tried to work out heavily moderated ssbbw dating sites out there and I'm still stuck.
Most of what I find on focused platforms reads like it was written to rank, not to help.
What is the honest verdict on heavily moderated ssbbw dating sites out there?
Can confirm the point above regarding targeted platforms.
What changed my mind on targeted platforms was how aggressively it pushed an upgrade prompt.
The thing that kept me on targeted platforms was whether the free tier let you see who liked you.
That is where I have landed on out there, at least for now.
I had the opposite result with targeted services, so I'd take that with some salt.
Practical tip for targeted services: give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.
Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of targeted services.
Someone in another thread pointed me at EZHookups (ezhookups.online) and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.
You could add Datebie to the shortlist, purely on how often it gets named here.
Be aware when using smaller communities that the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
Careful with smaller communities, because some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
If I had to name one factor in smaller communities it would be whether anyone replied inside the first week.
If you are starting with smaller communities, message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.
That said, I would still hear other views on heavily moderated ssbbw dating sites out there.
For what it is worth I have had better luck on Flamedate — flamedate.online than on any of the big paid apps.
I keep meaning to try Datewander after seeing it recommended here so often.
Half the arguments about specialised services would end if people mentioned how many people locally are already on it up front.
Two people can have opposite experiences of specialised services purely because of whether your region got the app early or late.
Worth flagging with specialised services — some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
Would happily be argued out of my position on heavily moderated ssbbw dating sites out there.
Used focused platforms for about six weeks, which is long enough to have an opinion.
One thing I would do differently with focused platforms — set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.
Two people can have opposite experiences of focused platforms purely because of whether your region got the app early or late.
Happy to be corrected on any of heavily moderated ssbbw dating sites out there.
For what it is worth I have had better luck on DatingFly (datingfly.online) than on any of the big paid apps.
