If you want to find your BBW dating partner and you're not sure where to start, what "rules" you should follow, or want more matches, check out these important tips for online curvy dating.
Use your photos to make a good impression
When choosing a profile photo, look for one where you have a real smile (not a forced smile) and a slightly tilted head. Both traits were found to be associated with positive first impressions. Also, if you're going to include a photo in your chubby dating profile, find a picture of yourself standing in the middle so everyone looks happy. After all, you want to give the impression that people like to be around you.
Learn to take the initiative to
If you want to be successful in online BBW hookup dating, you can't wait for the right date to come to you. Often initiate thumb up and nod, send the initial message, and take responsibility for your date's fate. People who did this were more satisfied with their curvy dating app experience and felt they had met a more appropriate and satisfying date.
Stop worrying about making excuses
I think there's an argument that when you first text someone on a dating app, you have to have a witty, thoughtful, well-rounded, clever opening line. But that's not true. Sure, it might be cute if you manage to find a fun way to show that you've read their profile and shared a common interest, but don't be nervous if you can't. It doesn't matter what you open it with, as long as you open it. "Hey, any exciting plans for the weekend?" You can say that to anyone. Really, it's that simple.
Follow to your gut
If you don't listen to your instincts, you can follow every standard online BBW dating technique and still end up plus size dating someone you later regret, or missing out on an incredible one. While it may sound like "wow", research shows that our intuition is not only accurate, but rooted in brain chemistry. It's easy to talk yourself out of listening to your inner voice, but trust it even if you're not sure why a potential date seems unsure or seems certain. If you slow down enough to hone your instincts in getting to know a person, you won't rush into something not so good because of those intense, head-spinning chemicals. You may also give someone an opportunity you didn't expect and end up grateful for what you did.
