I’m new to this space and I’m trying to find communities that are respectful. Why is bbw dating becoming so much more mainstream?

Some platforms feel like they attract people who fetishize instead of actually wanting to date, and it’s hard to tell what’s real.

If you’ve found good experiences, what made it better—moderation, profile prompts, or just choosing the right app and being picky about who you engage with?

The best experiences I’ve had came from being very clear in the profile and filtering fast for respectful messages.

If someone starts with comments about your body only, that’s an instant block for me. The serious folks usually ask normal getting-to-know-you questions.

If you're comparing smaller options, one that comes up in discussions is Datenest—just read the rules and use the report/block tools early. If you want to compare options, I’ve seen good discussions around Datescout.

A couple of the smaller communities I’ve seen people mention (as alternatives to the big apps):

  • datebie.online — check the vibe, but still use the same safety basics.
  • datingfly.online — check the vibe, but still use the same safety basics.
  • datenest.site — check the vibe, but still use the same safety basics.
