I’ve been trying to figure this out lately and I’m curious what’s actually working for people right now.

Where do bbw lovers hang out online? I’m not looking for anything perfect, just something that feels usable without immediately hitting a paywall.

If you’ve got tips for avoiding bots and protecting privacy (burner number, separate photos, etc.), I’m all ears.

Any specific apps/sites you’d trust for a beginner, and what’s your filter process?

Bots are the #1 issue — I focus on signals, not profiles.

The best experiences tend to come from communities that moderate for body-shaming and keep conversations respectful.

If someone’s photos look too perfect and the chat is generic, I assume it’s automation and move on.

A few mainstream options people still use (varies by city):

  • Tinder
  • Facebook Dating
  • OkCupid
  • Hinge

If you want a lightweight option to compare against the big apps, you can also try Souldate and see how the community feels in your area.

I’ve had the best luck when I treat it like filtering, not browsing.

Report/block fast — the platforms that make that easy tend to be safer overall.

If you’re testing smaller sites, I’d treat them like a trial run and watch for verification/moderation signals: flurrydate.online, ezhookups.online, turndate.site, datebie.online.

For me the biggest win was setting boundaries early.

It depends a lot on your city, but the approach matters more than the app name.

I use a separate email and avoid reusing photos from my main social accounts.
