The Short Version: Most plus-size singles avoid online dating because they fear people will reject them simply because of how they look. However, Curvy, a new dating app developed by BBWorNot Limited, aims to change that negative attitude and empower curvy women to find romance and love online. On Curvy, big is beautiful, and full-figured singles don’t have to hide their curves to attract a date. Over 1 million BBW singles and their admirers have signed up to the niche network so far, and it’s growing by leaps and bounds every day. You can sign up to Curvy for free and then upgrade to a premium membership to start chatting with attractive singles of all shapes and sizes.

My big brother’s friends treat me like one of the guys when we hang out, which means I feel comfortable being myself around them. Unfortunately, it also means they feel comfortable being themselves around me, and I don’t always enjoy gazing into the black soul of a single guy.

“Do you think she’s fat?” one friend asked, holding out his phone with a Tinder selfie on it. “She only has pictures of her face, which makes me think ‘fatty.’”

Curvy helps big and beautiful women regain their confidence and find love online.

Seriously, these guys have no filter. I tried to convince them not to judge a woman by her weight, but they stubbornly clung to their superficial standards.

The dating world can be pretty brutal for curvy women, but not every guy is as close-minded as my brother’s friends. Some actually seek out dates with more to love. The Big Beautiful Women (BBW) dating world is a safe haven for those who want to be judged for who they are, not how much they weigh.

You can join this big-hearted community by downloading the Curvy app, which was designed for curvy singles and their admirers. The team goes to great lengths to police the app and make sure it remains a safe and enjoyable place for men and women.

On Curvy, voluptuous women can chat, flirt, and make dates without feeling self-conscious about their bodies. Because the men there find them attractive just the way they are.

Founder Josh said, “It’s rather simple. I came up with the idea to give a chance to people who are too shy to date offline, especially if those people are either curvy or like girls with extra pounds.”

Boasting Over 1 Million Users in a Friendly Dating Community

Online dating can feel intimidating — if not downright terrifying — for curvy women who fear rejection. Society can be a harsh judge on the overweight, so many singles shy away from dating platforms where people are often harassed for how they look.

On the flip side, some men may feel fearful about owning their desires for plus-size women because they might be mocked by their peers. Thankfully, a BBW online community can ease the worries of both men and women by providing a secure and judgment-free space for flirtation.

Curvy members can sign up, add pictures, browse for matches, and send winks for free.

“On Curvy, they can feel free, comfortable, and, most importantly, not judged,” Josh emphasized to us. “Most of our users are, of course, curvy ladies and their admirers.”

The Curvy app has over 1 million users worldwide, and 48% are women. The platform provides a female-friendly space and has attracted a loyal following of singles because of its fair-minded approach to dating.

“If you don’t know how to find some new guys in your area, I recommend you try this dating app” wrote Tammy R. Boswell in a Curvy review. “It is really helpful.”

Josh said he didn’t expect that the app’s membership would grow so quickly, but he’s thankful to hear that people are enjoying his dating solution. “It’s been great so far,” he said. “We’ve gotten lots of testimonials and thankful letters from our users across the world — I am surprised, to be honest. It’s a pleasure to receive true words about the love that has been found on our application.”

The App’s Straightforward Features Encourage Mutual Matches

Curvy isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel with its dating app. It boasts all the standard features: easy signup, location-based searches, a mutual matching system, and premium messaging. What makes the app stand out is its niche membership of BBW singles and their admirers.

Josh said he didn’t want to overwhelm users with a lot of complicated features because finding someone you like, ultimately, should be simple. Curvy is a straightforward and user-friendly dating app designed to keep to the basics. “Creating an account is a piece of cake for users,” he told us. It just takes a few seconds to download the app and create a profile linked to your social media account.

When you’re ready to make a connection, you can upgrade your membership to start chatting with mutual matches online.

If you want to check out the membership first, you can play Spark, a matching game where users swipe through date prospects. All suggested matches will meet your specified criteria in terms of age, location, and other important traits. You can initiate contact after the person you liked has liked you back. Both free and premium members can play Spark to find likely love interests online.

“Using Spark is free for all Curvy users,” Josh explained. “In my opinion, simplicity and easy usage is the best feature an application can offer.”

The BBWorNot Team Seeks International Notoriety

The Curvy team includes many seasoned dating experts who care about the well-being of members. They work hard to improve the online dating experience for the BBW community. For instance, a couple dedicated IT guys ensure a spam-free dating environment and protect users from the latest online scams. They’re also the ones who fix bugs and develop tools to help users find love online.

Of course, the app’s beautifully streamlined features mean nothing without an active user base to enjoy and support the match solutions. That’s why a great deal of the team’s focus goes to spreading the word about their unique BBW app and attracting signups worldwide. Experienced social media and marketing professionals put their heads together to promote Curvy in a variety of ways, in hopes that, one day, the app will be a household name.

“We strongly believe that big-sized men and women can have great fun together and make unforgettable memories.” — the Curvy team

“We would like to spread the word about the Curvy app across the globe,” Josh said, “and make our application available in the most popular languages like French, German, Dutch, Japanese.”

Additionally, a small team of writers come to the aid of online daters by providing advice on the blog. The growing library of articles answer common questions about plus-size dating, including “Why do black men like BBW?” and “What’s it like to be a plus-size woman who dates thin guys?”

“We want to expand to write more love advice for BBW and their admirers,” Josh said, adding that he’s considering offering online courses for singles as well.

The Bigger, the Better: Curvy Welcomes Singles of All Sizes

The small-minded attitude of some singles, like my brother’s friends, can ruin the dating experience for curvy women who feel like they aren’t cut out for the online dating scene. That’s not true, though, and BBW dating apps send an empowering message of acceptance to every big-sized man and woman out there. Big is beautiful, and there are plenty of daters seeking someone like you.

You don’t have to be skin and bones to be attractive; beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. On Curvy, women can flaunt their curves before an appreciative audience.

Curvy brings together curvy women (and their admirers) in a safe and nonjudgmental online space. The dating app makes it easy to find a date who isn’t fazed by what you weigh — in fact, they’re often attracted by it. You can swipe through the app for a mutual match or browse by location and start chatting to increase your odds of making a special connection online.

“Some chubby girls have been told that falling in love is impossible because of their weight,” Josh said. “People should open their eyes and get in touch with XXL girls because love has no size and no clothing label!”
