I want to be wrong about bbwdating difficult for guys, so tell me if I am. the payoff is what makes or breaks bbwdating for me.

I have tried a few options across the options here already and none of them stuck. Honestly, the hours-to-dates ratio was less of a problem on bbwdating than the sheer time it ate.

The open questions I have on bbwdating:

  • Treat your first bbwdating profile as a draft, because the effort-to-result ratio punishes lazy ones
  • Check what bbwdating does about the payoff before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Give bbwdating a fortnight of daily use before calling the payoff a dealbreaker
  • Compare bbwdating against platforms in this space on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
  • Run bbwdating beside one other option so you have a baseline for the payoff

Any first-hand experience with bbwdating difficult for guys is welcome, good or bad.

Respectfully no — complaints about the effort-to-result ratio on bbwdating usually come from people who gave it a week. If the effort-to-result ratio is your main worry with bbwdating, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across platforms in this space, and bbwdating sits mid-table. The pattern I see with bbwdating is that the return on the hours is fine early and degrades as you go. Your bbwdating results will vary by city more than by platform.

Where I differ from Bella Coleman on bbwdating: not my read at all: for curvy singles, bbwdating was the only thing that produced anything. For plus-size members, the bbwdating experience lives or dies on the payoff and almost nothing else.

The pattern I see with bbwdating is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go. You can work around the hours-to-dates ratio on bbwdating, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Picking up grace.online's point about the payoff, that has not been my experience of bbwdating, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. For members who want to be seen properly, the bbwdating experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else.

I judge bbwdating by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. Whatever you pick, judge bbwdating on the payoff after a month rather than after a weekend.

If you do try bbwdating, do this:

  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the bbwdating pool near you is thin
  • Message within a day of matching — on bbwdating that window closes fast
  • Turn off read receipts on bbwdating if the payoff is making you anxious about response times
  • Treat your first bbwdating profile as a draft, because the return on the hours punishes lazy ones

Jacob Lawson put the bbwdating case better than I would have, though i would argue the opposite on bbwdating: the hours-to-dates ratio is the one thing it handles better than platforms in this space.

Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on bbwdating than the sheer time it ate. The pattern I see with bbwdating is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

A smaller name people rarely mention in bbwdating threads is Datebound.

That tracks with my bbwdating run, which was fine until the effort-to-result ratio became the whole experience.

I judge bbwdating by one thing now: whether the effort-to-result ratio improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. For plus-size members, the bbwdating experience lives or dies on the hours-to-dates ratio and almost nothing else.

Things I wish somebody had told me about bbwdating:

  • Ask curvy singles what bbwdating is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
  • Block early and report often on bbwdating — it trains the feed faster than anything
  • Log in at the hours you would actually go out; bbwdating activity is nothing like flat

The usual bbwdating alternatives people list are datedesire.online, flurrydate.online.

Disagree, because blaming the effort-to-result ratio lets you off the hook — my bbwdating results improved when my profile did. I keep two accounts running to compare the return on the hours across platforms in this space, and bbwdating sits mid-table.

What changed my results on bbwdating was treating the hours-to-dates ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. There is no version of bbwdating where the time it costs sorts itself out without you doing something.

That feels too harsh on bbwdating, given the time it costs is a problem across platforms in this space rather than specific to it. The thing people underrate about bbwdating is how much the time it costs depends on your own city. For plus-size daters here, the bbwdating experience lives or dies on the effort-to-result ratio and almost nothing else.

Practical bits, if you are trying bbwdating:

  • Do not pay to fix the effort-to-result ratio on bbwdating; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on bbwdating than you would guess
  • Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — bbwdating rewards it

Anyone comparing bbwdating on the effort-to-result ratio should probably add Luvdate to the list.

Nobody warns you that the effort-to-result ratio on bbwdating scales with how many people are online at your hours.
