Dating. For women of these modern times, there’s an app for it. But how do the women feel about Big Beautiful Women dating sites? Turns out, no one platform for finding THE ONE suits everyone, (just like a denim bucket hat.) The women with women with whom we spoke have felt fetishized, and pitied because of their size when going to big beautiful women route, others find it can eliminate awkwardness. Scroll through the eight responses we got below and let us know what you think about all of this in the comments.
“I’m waiting to meet someone in real life. I’ve had a few bad experiences in talking to guys on a dating app and they would either be into some weird fetish thing or pitied me because of my size. I just don’t think apps give you the full perspective of a person.”–Anna, 28
“Ive been on pretty much every app from Bumble to BBW Cupid and I have to say if someone is a jerk, they’re still a jerk even if they make you feel comfortable about your body.”–Rachel, 34
“BBW dating sites I think give me a better shot at finding person. They’re obviously into my body and then the conversation becomes more about compatibility than me feeling insecure on every date.”–Tiffany, 21
“I didn’t even knew they existed until you asked me! I’m very curious. I understand why people would be opposed to the idea, but when you’ve faced a lot of rejection in the dating world like I have, it sounds like a nice change of pace to have something in common with the other person.”–Zoe, 23
“I just recently heard about BBW sites, and I’m kind of appalled that more people don’t think it’s a stupid idea. We fight to be included in stores as equals, as women so I don’t understand the thinking of why we would need ‘special’ sites for dating.'”–Dana, 31
“I personally don’t like the term BBW or even plus size–however, I do think there needs to be more safe spaces for women to feel that they are wanted. I’m very torn on this issue because a part of me feels like there’s no reason to have to use another tool to find someone because if you find someone and they’re not into you for whatever reason, good riddance. But another part of me understands how hard it is to date especially in New York and if there were any way to make it easier I would try it.”–Ashley, 33
“I have a couple of friends who like those sites but I find it really creepy. In my mind those sites are places to find a sugar daddy who has a fetish.”–Erica, 36
“This idea feels like a feminist think piece waiting to happen! But I will say that I think it’s about choices. Women should have the choice to narrow down the playing field of people that they’re interested in, if that’s something they want. For me I think that would be putting too much pressure on the physical and less on my personality, but for some it could be the right fit.”–Tammy, 29
