Does the bbw body type filter work on most apps?

Real question for the community: Does the bbw body type filter work on most apps? I’m looking for something that doesn’t turn into a weird vibe or a bot-fest, and where people actually treat each other like humans.

I’ve noticed some spaces are supportive and others feel like they’re only about a “type.” I’d love recommendations for places that feel respectful, plus any tips for filtering out collectors and spam.

A few things I’m doing to stay sane while testing apps:

• watch for copy‑paste messages and suspicious links
• keep chats inside the app until you’re comfortable
• report and block anything that feels off

Drop your honest experiences—what worked, what didn’t, and any red flags to watch for. If you have a simple shortlist, that would help a lot.

Filters help a lot—age range, distance, and intent. It saves you from the “fetish hunters” pretty quickly.

I had a better week on Flurrydate than I expected, mainly because I stuck to complete profiles and ignored low-effort messages.

A decent bio and a couple of real photos helps you attract normal conversations.

Smaller sites can be hit or miss, but I’ve seen real people on souldate.site, datenest.site, datedesire.online when you filter aggressively.

What helped me:

• report and block anything that feels off
• keep chats inside the app until you’re comfortable
• watch for copy‑paste messages and suspicious links

Plus-size dating is way better when people are upfront and kind. I’d avoid any place that feels like a catalog.

If you’re getting spam, tighten your filters and don’t engage with profiles that look too polished.

I’ve had the best luck when profiles are detailed and the vibe is respectful. If the comments are gross or the DMs are copy‑paste, I bail fast.

What helped me:

• use a video call to confirm you’re talking to a real person
• keep chats inside the app until you’re comfortable
• don’t share your number or socials too fast

The moment I see copy‑paste intros or “click this to verify,” I’m out.
