Curvy and BBW dating: body-positive casual fun
By Lottie Williams, Head of Content
Updated
Curvy, big, plus-size or just generously built: plenty of people want exactly you, and plenty of people like you want exactly them. Here, you can say what you like, find each other, and nobody has to pretend.
Body-positive, not body-obsessed
No Strings Dating is a casual dating site where curvy people are welcome, and where people who fancy curves can say so. That is the whole idea: honest about what you want, respectful about who you want it with.
Being fancied for your body is lovely. Being reduced to it is not. The best matches here like your shape and your company, and they show it by talking to you like a person.
Confidence is in the details
A recent photo you actually like beats a flattering angle from five years ago, every time. People who are drawn to curves want to see them, and people who are not will pass, which saves everyone an awkward first drink.
Then say something about you that is not your body: your sense of humour, your idea of a good night, what you are up for. That is what turns a like into a conversation.
How it works on No Strings Dating
There is no body type box to tick, and we think that is no bad thing. Describe yourself in your own words in your line about you, and let a recent, honest photo do the rest. Big, curvy, cuddly, thick, plus-size: use the word you like, not the one someone else picked for you.
Your intention tags say what you are up for and what you are not, and they sit at the top of your profile. If curves are what you are drawn to, the optional Kink and fantasy section includes "Curvy / BBW appreciation". It only shows on your full profile, never on the cards people browse.
Every member passes a selfie age check before anyone can see them, and every photo is checked by a person before it goes live.
Find your corner
Each of these has its own page, with what to look for and how to start well.
- BBW dating: big beautiful women, and the people who fancy them.
- BHM dating: big handsome men, bears and cubs, and their admirers.
Meeting safely, and on your terms
Chat on the site first, meet somewhere public, and use Safety check-in to tell a friend where you will be. Close any chat that does not feel right: one tap, no explanations needed.
- Someone who only wants to meet in secret, never in a café or a bar, is telling you something.
- Someone who comments on your body before they have asked your name has not read your profile.
- Anyone who asks for money, gifts or photos before you have met is someone to report.
A preference, not a punchline
Fancying bigger bodies is a preference, like fancying tall people or redheads. It is not a joke, a dare or a dirty secret, and nobody here is anyone's punchline. Mockery, "bet" messages and comments about someone's weight break our rules on harassment, and a person reads every report.
No Strings Dating is for adults meeting because they both want to. Advertising sexual services, or asking anyone to pay for time or attention, breaks our rules too.
