So: anyone used bbwcupid for finding love. I have read a lot of contradictory takes on bbwcupid and would rather hear from people who tried it. My problem with bbwcupid so far has been the effort-to-result ratio.

Assume I know nothing beyond the obvious about the sites people keep naming. What changed my results on bbwcupid was treating actually getting anywhere as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

The open questions I have on bbwcupid:

  • Block early and report often on bbwcupid — it trains the feed faster than anything
  • Screenshot anything odd on bbwcupid before you report it — the time it costs claims need evidence
  • Ask plus-size daters here what bbwcupid is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
  • Do not pay to fix the payoff on bbwcupid; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause

Any first-hand experience with anyone used bbwcupid for finding love is welcome, good or bad.

Broadly agree on bbwcupid — the return on the hours was what decided it for me too. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on bbwcupid than the sheer time it ate.

I judge bbwcupid by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. The thing people underrate about bbwcupid is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city. I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across platforms in this space, and bbwcupid sits mid-table.

Anyone comparing bbwcupid on the return on the hours should probably add Turndate to the list.

Different experience on bbwcupid, where the payoff turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it.

For people tired of body-based filtering, the bbwcupid experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else.

The usual bbwcupid alternatives people list are datebie.online, ezhookups.online.

Seconding this, because on bbwcupid the honest answer is that the return on the hours varies enormously by area. For curvy singles, the bbwcupid experience lives or dies on the effort-to-result ratio and almost nothing else. You can work around the time it costs on bbwcupid, but you have to be deliberate about it. I keep two accounts running to compare the return on the hours across the sites people keep naming, and bbwcupid sits mid-table.

There is no version of bbwcupid where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something. I keep two accounts running to compare the payoff across platforms in this space, and bbwcupid sits mid-table. Honestly, the return on the hours was less of a problem on bbwcupid than the sheer time it ate. That is my read on bbwcupid, and others here clearly disagree.

For contrast with bbwcupid I would look at Datescout; the free tier there behaves differently.

This matches what I found with bbwcupid, where actually getting anywhere is exactly where it falls down.

Nobody warns you that the effort-to-result ratio on bbwcupid scales with how many people are online at your hours. Either way, the return on the hours is the thing I would test first on bbwcupid.

The usual bbwcupid alternatives people list are datebound.site, rendate.site.

@Levi Bailey makes a fair point about bbwcupid, but that tracks with my bbwcupid run, which was fine until actually getting anywhere became the whole experience.
