3 Important Things to Avoid when Choosing a BBW Dating Site

Bigger, beautiful, single women are definitely looking for dates, so why is it sometimes difficult to meet them? Thankfully, BBW dating sites provide opportunities to meet dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of larger, attractive women online, with the hopes that you can form a meaningful relationship. Choosing which BBW dating site to use is important, because they can differ quite significantly in various ways. With that in mind, we’d like to share our thoughts on three of the most important things to avoid when looking for a BBW dating website…

1: Hidden costs

You’ve signed up for a free (or short and cheap) trial, entered your payment details and are ready to meet BBW’s, right? Well, make sure that you’ve read all the rules and regulations, because some people get stung. One of the biggest problems faced by people new to dating, is that they haven’t fully understood the sign-up process and what costs they might face. For example, some sites will automatically charge you for a full month’s membership after you trial, if you don’t cancel your membership. A 1 month membership payment is usually much more expensive than a 12 month package, so you’ll be paying top dollar for a service which you may not even want to continue using. Always make sure you cancel, even putting a note in your diary if you’re likely to forget. Other hidden costs might include fees for sending messages or accessing photos and videos. Before you enter any payment information, make sure you know exactly what you’re paying for and how much it’ll cost.

2: Abandoned profiles, fake profiles and immediate interest

Unfortunately, dating websites can collect a lot of abandoned and fake profiles. Great admin teams will check the site for profiles which are no longer in use, and for potential fakes, and remove them, but it’s always a risk. An abandoned profile is usually made by an ex-member who no longer uses the site but who hasn’t deleted their profile page. They’re not particularly risky in any way, but you could waste time sending messages to them. Some BBW dating websites allow you to search for “members who were online recently”, which is a good way of avoiding profiles which have been out of use for some time. It’s also wise to be aware of fake profiles. These are profiles which have been set up by someone who isn’t who they claim to be, sometimes so you’ll talk to them and they can try to encourage you to use another site, pay for services or even send you dodgy files. A good way to spot a potential fake is that they might message you very quickly upon joining the site, even before you’ve finished creating your profile and uploading photos. If you’re ever in doubt as to whether someone is genuine or not, you may want to ask the site’s support team for guidance.

3: Ads, downloads and scams

Sites which have lots of flashy ads on each page, or annoying pop-up requests, can quickly become tiresome. If you find you’re being redirected to sales pages, asked to click on links or to accept downloads, take a step back and consider whether or not this feels like a legitimate action which a professional business would ask of you. If not, you may want to look elsewhere. Some sites may also attract scammers who are eager to get your personal information (such as banking details) or ask you to send money (perhaps for a plane ticket to visit you). Whilst we hope you’ll be safe online, it’s always wise to be a little wary, particularly if someone is asking for personal information or money.

The lowdown…

Dating sites have a lot of members, and subsequently there are a few risks which it’s good to be aware of. Even the most legitimate BBW dating sites might have costs you weren’t aware of, so make sure you read over the membership options carefully. Abandoned profile pages can also be a time-waster, and fake profiles can present unwanted risks. Finally, look out for any potential scams, and consider whether any pop-up requests are likely to be genuine. If you’re ever unsure, be cautious and ask the site’s customer care team for some support.
