LargeFriends.com Review
LargeFriends.com is a site that specializes in catering to the dating desires of heavyset men and women. Unlike some other sites that find a good name and publish a site to reach a market without really looking into the needs of those people, LargeFriends.com has clearly taken its time and made a site that’s as big and beautiful as the people it serves.
The profiles at Large Friends are well done. They contain a decent amount of information and give you space to write a few words about yourself. However, they lack the depth that some other sites are able to reach with more questions to fill out. Add to that the fact that even if you go through the trouble to fill out what they do ask, only paid members can search by more specific criteria.
Speaking of criteria when it comes to search options, Large Friends has a mediocre offering to base your selection on, most of which are only available to full members on the site. However, you can search for people within a 100 mile radius, which isn’t bad, but the 50 mile radius option is blocked until you’re ready to join. Photo-only searches are also limited to those who’ve paid for a membership. Bonus marks are given for a keyword search that helps balance out the fact that you’re not required to answer 100 questions before you can join.
Quick contact is only available for paid members and is limited to instant messaging. This isn’t so bad because if you’re just looking to get a conversation going, they do have a chat forum.
You should find free membership to be enough to get your feet wet at Large Friends. You can show interest in someone by sending a wink and members can email and send unlimited messages if you’ve caught their interest. You can also chat in the forum for free, so don’t be afraid to go in and yack it up! You will constantly be reminded of the features you’re missing out on with messages on the benefits of full membership, but that’s to be expected with any site that costs money to run.
You’ll also find quite a decent amount of people have joined this site. Searches turned up members from all over the globe, but North America has the largest amount of subscribers, by far.
LargeFriends.com offers a few nice extra features that members can benefit from. Once you join, you can post comments about others on the site and check to see who’s visited your profile. You can also read their selection of daily plus-sized news. Members also get priority placement in search results. In this case, joining does have its privileges.
If you’re BB woman or man, or even just an admirer, Large Friends does deliver the goods. Take the free tour and search for others in your area for the best measure if this site suits your needs!
