Editor's Verdict:

LargerDates.co.uk is big, bubbly and very very pink! When you register, select your gender as either 'male' or 'big beautiful woman', which should instantly make any curvy girl feel good. There's also a prominent FAQ section for anyone new to online dating and so we suspect that Larger Date really has its users as priority and likes to make sure they're comfortable.

Once you're registered the site layout becomes very basic, but you're given some stats on how your activity is building up: number of emails sent and received, how many have added you as a favorite and other tallies of matches.

Search results show photos that aren't necessarily close up or well lit - it appears members can upload whatever photo they choose, so although it's hit and miss in terms of judging whether you fancy someone, we guess the photo a member chooses to upload tells you something about them.

Search results show the age and location of the member, their relationship status and offers a snippet of their personal description. From the search results you can instant message, email or send a kiss to show your interest in the person. You're also told when the person was last online, which is really helpful to avoid people who aren't accessing their accounts any more.

Profiles show basic and personal information about the person and has three sections for free text: General Information, Appearance and Looking For, which makes the person seem much more real since they are free to speak about whatever they deem most important.

There's a clever little 'how we match up' button on profiles that instantly brings up a table letting you know how well you match with up the person whose profile you're looking at. It matches what you want and what the other person wants in terms of gender, age, country, marital status, body type, eye color and much more including religion and education. Results are displayed in an easy to view table with ticks and crosses.

We think the video emails are a nice idea to allow you to get to see and hear the person you're interested in in real time. Larger Date has teamed up with Helloworld.com to provide the service, but unfortunately that site was so slow to load we couldn't check it out to feed back to you.

There's also a handy browsing section where you can search for matches in your area by age. Most of the photos we saw were pretty clear shots of our matches, but there were too many profiles without photos, which was disappointing.

After an enticing home page and vivacious attitude initially, this site turned into a little bit of a disappointment, but we still think it's worth a shot - monthly membership is available and prices seem reasonable and very affordable in your search for love.
