Bringing best dating app for plus size individuals to the forum because I trust this place more than a top-ten article.

I would take one honest account of the big apps over ten comparison tables.

Should mention I am asking about best dating app for plus size individuals for a friend as much as for myself.

Tell me about best dating app for plus size individuals from experience rather than from a review page.

Seconding the post above on matching apps — that lines up with what I saw.

Careful with matching apps, because some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.

The move with matching apps is to screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.

If I had to name one factor in matching apps it would be whether anyone replied inside the first week.

Would happily be argued out of my position on size individuals.

  • OkCupid — the questions do real filtering work, your mileage may vary
  • Tinder — widest reach if you are somewhere busy
  • Badoo — big in Europe and Latin America
  • Feeld — narrow but genuinely active, though outside a city that changes
  • Plenty of Fish — rough interface, real people

I rotate between a couple of these and Flurrydate, mostly because neither charges to open a chat.

Respectfully disagree on the big apps — my experience with the big apps ran the other way.

That is roughly where I sit on size individuals today.

Someone in another thread pointed me at Souldate and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.

The thing to watch on the app question is that the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.

The move with the app question is to use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.

Whether the app question works comes down to your age bracket relative to the local pool more than anything the marketing mentions.

If I had to name one factor in the app question it would be whether the photos looked recent or recycled.

That said, I would still hear other views on best dating app for plus size individuals.

Adding DatingFly — datingfly.online for balance — quieter, but the people who are on it actually reply.

Results with mainstream apps depend enormously on the day of the week you actually use it.

If I had to name one factor in mainstream apps it would be whether the match volume held up past the first week.

What changed my mind on mainstream apps was how the moderation handled obvious spam.

What decides mainstream apps for most people is your age bracket relative to the local pool, not the app itself.

Still forming a view on best dating app for plus size individuals, so take it lightly.

Someone earlier recommended Datenest and I ended up sticking with it longer than expected.

There is a decent thread on Datebound somewhere in the archive if you search.

I still use the app options occasionally, mostly out of habit at this point.

What changed my mind on the app options was how easy it was to delete the account afterwards.

Everything about the app options hinged on whether the photos looked recent or recycled in the end.

That is the short version on best dating app for plus size individuals.
