The true benefit of using this website is that you’re dealing with other singles who are looking for someone just like you, if you consider yourself a Big Beautiful Woman of course. As far as the dating website itself, it has most of the features you’d expect from your everyday dating site. You can search locally (within 10 miles) and narrow profiles by age, match %, newest members, etc.

BBW Personals Plus also offers a free ‘smiles’ service to all members. The service allows you to contact other singles and let them know you’re interested. There are a number of pre-written messages that you can send ranging from picture requests to flirts. This is a great way to get the conversation started. If you want to be able to communicate with other singles in your own words than a standard subscription to BBW Personals Plus is required.

If you want to spring for the premium membership, you’re profile will be placed in Spotlight and Stand-Out, two additional services offered by Sparks Network online dating websites. Spotlight places your profile picture and basic information directly on the homepage of free and paying members of BBWPersonalsPlus. This has enormous exposure value.

Stand Out is a similar feature. When a single searches and you come up as a possible result, your profile is given a special background color and a much larger viewing area. They also give your profile picture a nice border. All of this additional detail means you’re going to get looked at more than others who just have standard profiles. More attention = more clicks on your profile = greater chance of someone liking you. It costs just a little bit extra to add these two services, but can prove well worth the value if you find someone special.

What I Love about BBW Personals Plus:

• Stand-Out and Spotlight. These services are unique and provide users with just a few extra tools to find love.
• Think you’d click? Anonymous is always good online because you can be up front and honest without fear of rejection. I think this is a great way to find out if someone likes you.
• The ‘smiles’ service that allows users to get the party started with potential partners. The flirty sayings go a long way to let someone know that you’re interested.

What I Hate about BBW Personals Plus:

• The website does not allow users to reply to messages at no cost. There are other dating websites out there that only require one party to be a paying member. However, there are no BBW dating sites that allow free replies as of 12/08.
