Been quietly reading for a while, but bbw plus size considered the same category is the thing I actually need an answer on. My problem with bbw plus size so far has been the hours-to-dates ratio.

For context I am mostly comparing what is on offer rather than anything niche. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on bbw plus size than the sheer time it ate.

Concretely, for bbw plus size:

  • Do not move off bbw plus size into private messaging until the time it costs looks handled
  • Compare bbw plus size against the options here on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
  • Check what bbw plus size does about the time it costs before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Turn off read receipts on bbw plus size if the effort-to-result ratio is making you anxious about response times

Anyone with a recent bbw plus size considered the same category story, please jump in.

Not my read at all: for people tired of body-based filtering, bbw plus size was the only thing that produced anything.

You can work around the effort-to-result ratio on bbw plus size, but you have to be deliberate about it. The thing people underrate about bbw plus size is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city.

Christian Barnes is right about one part of bbw plus size: yes, and I would add that the time it costs on bbw plus size gets worse the longer you stay.

Most of the noise about bbw plus size comes from people measuring the hours-to-dates ratio over far too short a window. I keep two accounts running to compare actually getting anywhere across the options here, and bbw plus size sits mid-table.

My rules for bbw plus size these days:

  • Ask plus-size daters here what bbw plus size is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
  • Block early and report often on bbw plus size — it trains the feed faster than anything
  • Log in at the hours you would actually go out; bbw plus size activity is nothing like flat
  • Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — bbw plus size rewards it

Broadly agree on bbw plus size — the effort-to-result ratio was what decided it for me too. If the hours-to-dates ratio is your main worry with bbw plus size, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

The pattern I see with bbw plus size is that the time it costs is fine early and degrades as you go. You can work around actually getting anywhere on bbw plus size, but you have to be deliberate about it. I judge bbw plus size by one thing now: whether the time it costs improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

Agreed, although with bbw plus size I would frame the return on the hours as a symptom rather than the cause. There is no version of bbw plus size where the effort-to-result ratio sorts itself out without you doing something.

For plus-size daters here, the bbw plus size experience lives or dies on the hours-to-dates ratio and almost nothing else. Not saying bbw plus size suits everyone, but it is not the disaster this thread implies.

The other one I would try before giving up on bbw plus size is Rendate.

Building on what Camila Hayes said about bbw plus size, reading this back, my bbw plus size notes say almost the same thing about the hours-to-dates ratio.

If the payoff is your main worry with bbw plus size, test it in the first week rather than the first month. What changed my results on bbw plus size was treating actually getting anywhere as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.
