One French Fry too Little: One Gal’s Experience with Largefriends.com

Before meeting Mr. Right on Plenty of Fish, I was on a mission to chronicle 50 blind dates on a blog and in a book. To find these 50 days I began scouring the internet for all kinds of dating sites as recommended by friends and yes, even this very site. One of the sites that a couple of friends had recommended was LargeFriends.com. I figured it was a good fit since I am by no stretch a skinny gal, along with the fact that I've always found teddy bear-big guys to be kind of endearing.

Largefriends.com, in case you haven't figured it out, is a plus size dating site that caters to bigger members and the people who love them-also known as BBWs (Big, Beautiful Women) and BHMs (Big, Handsome Men). The plus side to a site dedicated to the plus size is not having to worry about how you describe your size so that it doesn't scare off the guys who are put off by the chub. You know that any guy on the site is open to meeting women who fall to the curvier or heavier side of the spectrum which is kinda' nice.

The site itself is very easy to navigate, packed with members of all shapes and sizes, and not very expensive. My profile got a lot of attention and was pleased by the caliber of men I chatted with as well; polite, positive and employed. There was one in particular who was witty and gave good chat-a must for me as a writer! We decided to meet and I had every reason to believe that we would hit it off, which we seemed to throughout the course of our date. That is until he began to make reference to my size. The thing is he wasn't referring to my being too big for his liking but rather too small! If I recall correctly he said that I "ate one fry too little to be big enough for a plus size dating site"! It seems that while I was plus size by a store's standard at the time, I was not nearly big enough for what this guy deemed to be plus size. He had marveled during many chats about my "gorgeous face", but a pretty face wasn't enough as he was looking for a woman of at least 200LBS. The experience led me to doing a little bit of research amongst the members I was in contact with and it turned out that many of the men on the site were indeed looking for a much bigger gal!

So, if you're a big girl and are looking for a plus size dating site where the members are open to a much larger or even supersize figure, then LargeFriends.com is it!
