Where Are the People Near You?
A site full of members in another country will not get you a Saturday date. Curvy Dates matches by distance, and most of its members live in the UK, the USA and Canada; elsewhere, WooPlus and BBWCupid have wider reach.
Plus size dating sites and apps
Is There a Dating Site for Plus Size Women?
Yes, there are several good ones. Here they all are, side by side.
Yes, and You Have Real Choice
Yes. Curvy Dates is a dating site for plus size women, curvy singles and their admirers, online since 2021. WooPlus is a large international plus size dating app, and BBWCupid a BBW dating site from the Cupid Media network. LargeFriends, running since 2002, now spans several communities. General apps such as Tinder and Hinge are open to everyone.
Which suits you depends on what matters most: a crowd that is already attracted to curves, the biggest possible audience, or a particular kind of relationship. The table puts them all in one place.
Every Option for Plus Size Women in One Table

Feabie also comes up in searches. It describes itself as a social network for feeders, feedees, fat admirers and BBW and BHM members, so it is a fetish community rather than a general plus size dating site. Worth knowing before you sign up.
Why a Plus Size Dating Site Makes Life Easier
On a general app, your size is something you decide how to handle: which photos to use, whether to mention it, how to read the silence after a match. On a dedicated plus size dating site, it is the reason people are there. The man who stops on your profile on Curvy Dates is looking for a curvy woman. That changes the whole tone of dating, from the first message to the first date.
Specialist sites also tend to be calmer. Curvy Dates has nearly 3,000 members rather than millions, which sounds like a drawback until you notice that the people you match with are nearby, grown-up and chose a site built around curves. More than a third of our members are 55 or over and almost half are 35 to 54, so it particularly suits women past their twenties who are tired of feeling out of place on swipe apps.
Choosing well
How to Pick the Right One for You
Three questions settle it for most women.
How Old Are They?
Swipe apps skew young. If you are over 40, a site with a mature membership saves a lot of scrolling.
Can You Tell Who Is Real?
Look for verification you can see on a profile. On Curvy Dates, ID and live video checks are free for everyone.
Are There Free Dating Sites for Plus Size Women?
Most plus size dating sites are free to join and charge for extras. On Curvy Dates, a free account includes a profile, daily matches, some messages every day and the ability to reply to any VIP member. WooPlus is a free download with paid VIP and in-app Diamonds, and BBWCupid lets you create a free profile with premium messaging paid. Our free BBW dating page explains exactly what you get here without paying.
