Would rather hear it from people who use it: best plus size dating apps for finding body-positive.

The part I keep getting stuck on with best plus size is what the gender ratio looks like locally.

What I actually want to know about best plus size is whether the matching does anything you can notice.

What would you do about best plus size dating apps for finding body-positive if you were starting fresh today?

@BeccaT put it better than I would. The only thing I would add about best plus size is that what the gender ratio looks like locally matters more than the feature list.

After the trial period with best plus size, what I ended up with was more consistent than the alternatives.

I wasted the first week on best plus size because I would ignore how long ago someone was online.

Am I the only one for whom best plus size stopped working after the trial period?

Used best plus size for the first ten conversations. What actually happened was worse than the reviews suggest.

The fix that worked on best plus size was simple enough — check when the account was last active.

best plus size dating apps for finding body-positive stops working the moment you take silence personally.

What matters more than the feature list on best plus size is how it behaves after a month of use.

I ended up on Datenest's free tier after the same best plus size question and it was the least painful of the lot.

Seconding @TiffanyJ. What settled it for me on best plus size was what the gender ratio looks like locally.

Used best plus size for the first month. How the pattern went was better than I expected.

What matters more than the feature list on best plus size is how it behaves after a month of use.

If anyone has tested plus size properly, I want to know how long a profile stays visible without paying.

The question underneath all of this is what the daily limits feel like in use, at least with plus size.

Rough notes from using best plus size:

  • On best plus size, what the numbers looked like was clearly ahead on this one point compared with the alternatives
  • The failure mode with best plus size is when you judge it on the first evening
  • Ask one specific question instead of a generic opener — it is the one habit that moved best plus size for me

@Andrew makes a fair point, though with best plus size I'd add that what people reported was stronger at the weekend.

What helped most with best plus size was that I made a point to ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

Where I went wrong with best plus size was that I would send the same opener to everyone.

Same as @Ben, though I'd say whether the swipe volume translates into conversation is the bit worth testing first with best plus size.

I gave best plus size a full weekend and what the follow-through looked like was better than I expected.

Where I went wrong with best plus size was that I'd write a bio that could belong to anyone.

A friend pointed me at Datebie dating when I asked about best plus size; the sign-up was free and quick.
