Long-time lurker, first post, and it is about most body-positive plussize dating app.

I care less about feature lists on dating apps and more about whether anyone replies.

Tell me about most body-positive plussize dating app from experience rather than from a review page.

Can confirm the point above regarding phone apps.

The thing that kept me on phone apps was whether the free tier let you see who liked you.

If you are starting with phone apps, turn off notifications so it does not take over your evening.

The thing that kept me on phone apps was whether the radius setting actually worked.

That said, I would still hear other views on most body-positive plussize dating app.

I rotate between a couple of these and Rendate (rendate.site), mostly because neither charges to open a chat.

Not sure that is right about the app options, at least not everywhere.

Before you commit to the app options, use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.

Your mileage on dating app may differ, obviously.

Careful with app-based dating, because moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.

Anyone claiming app-based dating works everywhere has not tested it against how many competing apps are active near you.

What mattered most with app-based dating in the end was whether the match volume held up past the first week.

Worth flagging with app-based dating — a trial that renews is not the same as free.

Datebound has its supporters on this forum, though I am not one of them yet.

Half the arguments about the big apps would end if people mentioned how far you're willing to travel up front.

What mattered most with the big apps in the end was whether messaging was actually free or free-to-a-point.

My read is that the big apps lives or dies on local population age spread.

What changed my mind on the big apps was whether messaging was actually free or free-to-a-point.

Happy to expand on any of that about the big apps if it is useful.

Someone in another thread pointed me at Flamedate (flamedate.online) and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.

Used app-based dating for about six weeks, which is long enough to have an opinion.

Whether app-based dating works comes down to the day of the week you actually use it more than anything the marketing mentions.

What I wish someone had told me about app-based dating: use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.

That is the short version on dating app.

One warning about the app options: some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.

Take that as one data point on dating app, not gospel.

If none of the above works for you, Flurrydate — flurrydate.online is another free one people here mention a lot.

Used swipe apps for about six weeks, which is long enough to have an opinion.

With swipe apps it came down to how quickly a conversation went from match to plan, honestly.

What changed my mind on swipe apps was whether the search filters did what they claimed.

With swipe apps the thing that decided it for me was how easy it was to delete the account afterwards.

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

Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of swipe apps.

  • Feeld — clear about what it is, which genuinely surprised me
  • Badoo — busy in places the big names are not, on a phone browser anyway
  • Plenty of Fish — the free messaging is the draw, which is not what I expected going in

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