Is there a dating app for plus size women that is actually respectful?

Long-time lurker, first post, and it's about dating app for plus size women that is actually respectful. What nobody mentions about dating app is whether it is genuinely free or free until you try to reply day to day.

What nobody agrees on with dating app is that the last honest write-up is two years old, which is why I want firsthand accounts. I judge dating app almost entirely on whether there are enough people to bother on mobile.

Where I'd start with dating app after a few false starts:

  • Track what happens to your visibility after a week of silence before deciding whether it is worth paying for
  • Pin down what share of the layout is advertising on mobile data, not office wifi
  • Sanity-check whether replies are open before you finish the profile before you commit any time to it

Anyone with recent time on dating app, what would you do differently? Cheerleading and cynicism all worth hearing. Honest answers are worth more than any review site.

Short version: dating app is a decent starting point and a poor destination. Where dating app falls down for me is how the interface holds up on mobile. Started on Datenest in particular and never fully moved off it.

That's where I have landed on dating app, though clearly it varies by region.

#3

Going against the thread here: I want to like dating app more than I actually do. You can ignore most of the marketing around dating app and just check what costs money once you are past sign-up. I cross-checked against the Datebie community before deciding anything.

My rule with dating app: how many active users are within range after the first week first, everything else second.

Worked for me on dating app, anyway.

Having used it a while: dating app rewards patience and punishes everything else. The honest test for dating app is whether moderation keeps up with the fakes once you are past sign-up, not the feature list.

The only metric I trust with dating app is what the reporting tools actually do outside the big cities.

That's my read on dating app; ask if you want the detail.

Respectfully @HazelE, dating app hasn't worked like that in my experience. Anyone comparing dating app should be looking at how the interface holds up on mobile at the times you actually log in before anything else. The closest thing I found to an honest free tier was the Luvdate community.

That's what six weeks of dating app taught me; ask if you want the detail.

Going against the thread here: dating app depends almost entirely on your city. If you're evaluating dating app, start with how much of the layout is ads — everything else follows.

For dating app, how much of the layout is ads day to day is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

That's how dating app went for me, may not hold for you.

@AveryN might be right in principle, but dating app rarely behaves that cleanly. Two weeks in, how the interface holds up on mobile at the times you actually log in is what actually mattered for dating app. Someone here pointed me at Ezhookups and it held up better than expected.

The thing that decides it for dating app is how much you can do before being asked to upgrade on mobile.

That's how dating app went for me, though clearly it varies by region.

@Gabriel Young is describing a version of dating app I have never seen. If you're evaluating dating app, start with whether verification actually filters anyone at the times you actually log in — everything else follows.

Where dating app falls down for me is what the reporting tools actually do on mobile.

That's the short version on dating app, for whatever that is worth.

@Noah that is fair in a big city, but dating app is a different story outside one. The thing that decides it for dating app is whether you can hide distance and last-active outside the big cities. rendate.site is the other name that keeps surfacing.

That's what six weeks of dating app taught me — happy to be argued with.

#10

Broadly agreeing, with a caveat: dating app depends almost entirely on your city. For dating app, how much you can do before being asked to upgrade on mobile is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

Practical notes on dating app if you're short on time:

  • Check whether last-active timestamps look plausible in your own city rather than the default radius
  • Test whether replies are open before you finish the profile using a fresh account rather than an old one

Two weeks in, where the paywall actually sits day to day is what actually mattered for dating app.

That's been my experience with dating app, may not hold for you.

#11

Speaking from four months of it: dating app is fine if you go in with low expectations. You can ignore most of the marketing around dating app and just check what the bot ratio feels like day to day once you are past sign-up.

That's been my experience with dating app and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.

Going to push back on @Naomi Foster here. Dating app behaved very differently for me. What nobody mentions about dating app is how the interface holds up on mobile on mobile.

That's the honest picture of dating app, anyway.
