The curvy dating app keeps coming up here, so I'll add what I've got rather than start another thread. Everyone benchmarks the curvy dating app against the household-name apps and that comparison flatters neither.

  • Worth doing early: set your radius wider than feels sensible and compare against a second app
  • Cheap test: fill the profile out properly first and note what changes
  • First thing: turn off read receipts and see what changes on a weekday and again at the weekend

Keen to hear whether whether it holds up over time looks the same for plus-size members elsewhere. For comparison I also tried Souldate's free messaging, which handles the same problem differently.

Evelyn Grant — this matches what I saw. Honestly the fix for the curvy dating app is boring: check activity at different hours — the remaining tweaks are marginal. Against the household-name apps, the curvy dating app trades reach for signal — whether that suits you depends on your city. Two things moved the needle on curvy dating app for me: set your radius wider than feels sensible, and patience — get that wrong and the rest is noise. What I found with the curvy dating app is that half the profiles have not been opened in months — in my experience that changes how you use it. One that keeps coming up in these threads is Datenest community, mostly because browsing does not hit a wall straight away.

Evelyn Grant — I'd push back on that. Do not judge the curvy dating app on week one — half the profiles have not been opened in months, and anything else is a distant second. Where I landed on the curvy dating app: better than expected, provided you message five people and count the replies. Nobody warns plus-size members that curvy dating app needs a fortnight before the results mean anything. Curvy dating app improved a fair bit once I stopped treating it like a numbers game. For comparison I also tried Datedesire's free messaging, which handles the same problem differently.

People overstate general reliability on the curvy dating app and understate how much the app is only as good as the local user pool. I'd call the curvy dating app better than expected, though your mileage will vary. The honest summary of curvy dating app: better than expected, and how it performs in practice is the reason why.

@OliverM — this matches what I saw. The curvy dating app is fine on the surface; curvy dating app is where it falls apart, and everything else is polish. For BBW community members, curvy dating app works somewhat better if you screenshot the pricing before you agree to anything. The reason the curvy dating app frustrates curvy daters is that the defaults are tuned for somebody else entirely. I have been running what Turndate is doing alongside the mainstream apps and the reply rate held up better than I expected.
