BBW Personals Plus is a site with a large scope. In recognizing that niche dating is as much about body size as it is about sexual preference or race, BBW Personals Plus lays the groundwork for plus sized connections. The site’s been surfed and the numbers are in. Now we’ll see if this site is a grand success according to our review criterion.

Off the top, the profiles on this site contain solid information. You are asked the basic questions about your hobbies and your martial status. It also asks for your height and weight, the latter having a few extra options so you can define your size as accurately as you’d like. Most of the women on this site have profiles while the vast majority of men appear not to. This begs the question of why the disparity between the groups, but that’s not for this review to attempt to answer.

“BBW Personals Plus seems like it’s growing in all of the right directions.”

The sites appearance has been honed and carries with it a corporate feel. By that I simply mean that it feels cold at times, but at least it's professional. Search options received a perfect score by allowing you flexibility when it comes to searching geographically and you even have full access to each of the various criteria without having to pay for it. Finally, you can navigate as smoothly as a plane on autopilot. Together, this means that you can worry less about the sites hang-ups and concentrate more on looking for love.

BBWPersonalsPlus.com offers both instant messaging and a chat forum. IM is really all you need to make that quick connection, but it’s still nice to have options. The site takes home a big zero when it comes to the level of access you’re given to the site before digging for dollars. BBW Personals only allows paid members to contact other paid members. You will certainly be able to surf the site for free and get a feel for what you’ll be getting, but until you part with the cash, you will have to be content with having your face pressed up against the glass peering in.
Member numbers make a site and this site seems to have achieved a decent level of success. The Alexa score seems to show that it is one of the most popular BBW sites on the Net. However, we recommend doing searches for your area first and reading through the profiles that come up so that you can make your own assessment as to the membership levels in your area.

BBW Personals Plus includes many extra features to keep you occupied and expressing yourself in whatever way you deem fit. You can try sending an ecard to people both on and off the site. The chat forum provides a nice way to share thoughts within a group instantly, although the program used is a rather old style that is strictly thread-based. And the color coded personality test is an interesting way to kill time and help you score someone who might just have the attributes you’re after for a bigger, better relationship.

BBW Personals Plus seems like it’s growing in all of the right directions. With help at the wheel to personalize it a bit, there’s no doubt that it will continue to grow with the plus-sized community. In the meantime, it won’t kill you to check it out and do some free searches in your area. Good luck!
