Hello Please tell me how you feel about Dating Sites? Good / Bad ? Why do people dislike the term Big Beautiful Woman? I feel I'm a Plus size woman. I feel that I'm pretty. Thank you Have a great Day.

    I have friends and family members who have had great exeriences wiith dating sites (my cousin married her e-harmony find) and I have had some that have had awful experiences. I say there is no harm in trying just be careful.

    I met my boyfriend on a dating site. You do have to weed through a lot to find the good ones, but it is possible. You never know until you try! Good Luck :flowerforyou:

    There's good and bad in all dating sites. Freaks are everywhere. You have to be careful and selective.

    As for the term BBW, that's the only choice I see fit when describing myself. I'm don't have a few pounds extra...I have many. And therefore I'm big, and beautiful, and I'm a woman. LOL.

    Dont spend too much time on it or it will start to have a negative effect on your self esteem - having tons and tons of guys to talk to and still not finding a connection is hard to bear. Use them in small doses. Or just to shop for sex - tahts really what they are best for.

    Good luck! :drinker:

    MFP is probably the best "dating" site ever, even if you aren't looking here for that

    Do people really use this site for dating? I flirt but does anything really ever come out of it?

    I am scared of dating sites. However, I'm scared of getting hurt again, so I'm pretty much scared of dating. But, meeting someone from online just seems like asking for danger.

    My #1 rule. . be honest. . Don't post a glamor shot that looks nothing like you. . You want to attract someone who's interested in YOU, not try to trick someone into going on a date with you . unless it's just about getting free dinner. . If that's the case. . . knock yourself out!

    Let's find out.
  • The best thing about those sites is when they have personal questions to answer and choose the way your partner should answer them. My boyfriend and I had over 90% compatibility on OKCupid and it seems to be true in real life (we are 2 years together). We both answered a lot of their questions. If someone's answers are public, you can find out if that person isn't for you without having to talk. (I had serious doubts about anyone who answered yes to the question about group sex and so on. Thankfully, I've found a young man who thinks that's silly and uncomfortable.)

    MFP is the king of Long-Distance-Relationship dating sites. No. . nobody ever actually MEETS the person they fall in love with.

    I never thought of this as a dating site. Working on myself now. That the best medicine of all. Dating can wait until I'm where I want to be.

    Sort of sarcastic.. more. . tragically jaded.. The person you meet and really connect with is inevitably far, far away. . Even if you both want to be together, it's impossible (sigh). . .
