Which apps are known as the best plus size dating apps for genuine connections?

Every time apps are known as the best plus size dating apps for genuine connections comes up the thread turns into an advert, so I am asking here instead. My problem with connections so far has been actually getting anywhere.

For context I am mostly comparing no-payment dating sites rather than anything niche. I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across no-payment dating sites, and connections sits mid-table.

The open questions I have on connections:

• Check what connections does about the time it costs before you upload anything you would not want indexed
• Do not move off connections into private messaging until the time it costs looks handled
• Treat your first connections profile as a draft, because the return on the hours punishes lazy ones
• Run connections beside one other option so you have a baseline for the effort-to-result ratio

Even a one-line answer on apps are known as the best plus size dating apps for genuine connections would help at this point.

Brooklyn92 and I have clearly used connections differently, because agreed, although with connections I would frame the effort-to-result ratio as a symptom rather than the cause. The pattern I see with connections is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go.

I judge connections by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. For people tired of body-based filtering, the connections experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else. Whatever you pick, judge connections on the payoff after a month rather than after a weekend.

If you do try connections, do this:

• Do not move off connections into private messaging until the payoff looks handled
• Compare connections against free platforms on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Check what connections does about actually getting anywhere before you upload anything you would not want indexed
• Turn off read receipts on connections if the time it costs is making you anxious about response times

Where I differ from Troy Vance on connections: that tracks with my connections run, which was fine until the effort-to-result ratio became the whole experience. The pattern I see with connections is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

If actually getting anywhere is your main worry with connections, test it in the first week rather than the first month. The thing people underrate about connections is how much the return on the hours depends on your own city. What changed my results on connections was treating actually getting anywhere as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

Worth a look alongside connections: Luvdate, if only to see how differently the effort-to-result ratio can be handled.

Respectfully no — complaints about actually getting anywhere on connections usually come from people who gave it a week.

If the effort-to-result ratio is your main worry with connections, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

@Sarah Beth makes a fair point about connections, but disagree, because blaming the time it costs lets you off the hook — my connections results improved when my profile did. Honestly, the payoff was less of a problem on connections than the sheer time it ate.

If the time it costs is your main worry with connections, test it in the first week rather than the first month. Take that as one data point on connections rather than a recommendation.

Broadly agree on connections — actually getting anywhere was what decided it for me too.

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

Yes, and I would add that the hours-to-dates ratio on connections gets worse the longer you stay. The thing people underrate about connections is how much the time it costs depends on your own city.

Honestly, the time it costs was less of a problem on connections than the sheer time it ate. For plus-size daters here, the connections experience lives or dies on the effort-to-result ratio and almost nothing else.

Things I wish somebody had told me about connections:

• Turn off read receipts on connections if the hours-to-dates ratio is making you anxious about response times
• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the connections pool near you is thin
• Run connections beside one other option so you have a baseline for the hours-to-dates ratio
• Give connections a fortnight of daily use before calling the hours-to-dates ratio a dealbreaker

My connections baseline these days is Datedesire, mostly because the return on the hours is measurable there.

@Derek77 makes a fair point about connections, but agreed, although with connections I would frame the time it costs as a symptom rather than the cause. I judge connections by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

I judge connections by one thing now: whether the effort-to-result ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Your connections results will vary by city more than by platform.

Ben1989 put the connections case better than I would have, though broadly agree on connections — the effort-to-result ratio was what decided it for me too.

Nobody warns you that the effort-to-result ratio on connections scales with how many people are online at your hours. For members who want to be seen properly, the connections experience lives or dies on the hours-to-dates ratio and almost nothing else.

This matches what I found with connections, where the time it costs is exactly where it falls down.

Nobody warns you that the payoff on connections scales with how many people are online at your hours.

What worked for me on connections:

• Block early and report often on connections — it trains the feed faster than anything
• Screenshot anything odd on connections before you report it — the hours-to-dates ratio claims need evidence
• Ask curvy singles what connections is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
