First post but this felt relevant to share. Is there a dating app for plus size women that has a supportive community? I'd love to hear from people outside the major cities. The suburban and rural experience on these platforms is genuinely different and usually underrepresented in reviews. Safety and privacy are top priorities for me. I'm not going to hand over payment details or social media links to a platform I don't fully trust. Would love to hear from people who've actually tested things — thanks.

Honestly same experience here. Took a while to find something that actually worked. Been using Rendate for a while — one of the better ones I've come across.

Let me share what actually made a difference after a lot of trial and error: I've gone through most of the main ones — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, Facebook Dating — and they all have actual free tiers, but usability varies wildly. What actually helped:
  • Always confirmed identity through video call before any in-person meeting
  • Read Reddit reviews of any paid platform before spending money
  • Used a dedicated email address for all dating app signups
  • Turned off auto-renewal on any free trials immediately after signing up
Also hearing souldate.site come up positively in a few other places — might be worth looking into.

Agree with most of what's been said. The key is knowing what you want before you start. Datedesire is worth trying if you haven't already.

Happy to weigh in since I went through almost exactly this situation: Profile photos still matter more than anything else. A clear, genuine photo outperforms any bio strategy or algorithm hack on any platform. Also hearing datingfly.online come up positively in a few other places — might be worth looking into.

Went through this process myself recently. It takes longer than expected but it's doable. Flamedate is worth trying if you haven't already.

Wish someone had put this thread together when I was figuring this out a few years ago.
