BBWDesire is a dating site where big, beautiful women can go when they want to find men who can appreciate (and handle) a full, voluptuous woman. Men from all over the world can join the site and look for their dream girl without worrying about dealing with the hassles and judgments from others.
When you first go to the site, you’ll see a variety of “members” wearing skimpy tops revealing their ample bosom. You may think this is a preview of what’s to come once you complete the simple four-step registration process. But you’re in for a whole lot more, but more on that later in this review.
In order to register for an account on this site, you’ll be asked to fill in four questions:
Who you are and what you’re looking for (man seeking woman or vice versa)
Username (no matter how unique the username is, the site will tell you it’s taken)
Password
Valid email address
Once you hit that “Submit” button, prepare to be bombarded with nude and explicit photos. We do NOT recommend viewing this site on a shared computer or at work because the images are quite graphic.
In order to create a dating profile on BBWDesire, you will click on the “Complete My Profile” link on the right side of your screen. It will take you to a screen where you’ll be asked to supply your mobile phone number, a headline, more about you and what you’re looking for.
You can skip this and go directly to the page where you can upload your photos. Unlike other dating sites you’ll find, BBWDesire gives users the opportunity to create private albums where you can upload 24 photos of whatever you’re heart desires. Those private albums are only viewable to members in your friend network.
Upon uploading your photos, you’ll be taken to a survey where you will fill out a variety of questions about yourself. Some of the questions include:
Eye and hair color
Race
Religion
Body type
Language you speak
The next page will take you to the same questionnaire, but you’ll be filling out the answers for the type of person you’re looking for. After that, you can dive on in and start looking for BBW singles.
Like all other dating sites, you have several different membership options. However, unlike other sites that’ll give you advanced features or something worth spending the money, it appears BBWDesire does not.
With the basic plan, you think you’ll have access to all of the features, but whenever you try to do something, you’re taken to the “Upgrade now” page. You must upgrade if you want to send texts, instant messages, send virtual gifts, and watch adult movies. Upgrade, Upgrade, Upgrade.
So what is the premium plan, you ask? It appears that each of the memberships offers unlimited messaging and views, as well as a number of tokens.
Let’s take a look at the four different membership plans:
Limited Trail Membership (3-day trial) is $2.99 per day (totaling $8.99 at checkout)
10 profile views
10 messages to send and receive per day
5 tokens
Monthly Membership is $29.99 per month
Unlimited messaging
Unlimited views
10 tokens
Silver Membership is $16.65 per month (totaling $49.96 at checkout)
Unlimited messaging
Unlimited views
15 tokens
Gold Membership is $11.65 per month (totaling $69.89 at checkout)
Unlimited messaging
Unlimited views
20 tokens
You may be wondering what, exactly, the tokens are used for? Everything. Every time you do something on the site, it requires a token… And to get “free” tokens, you have to upgrade.
Searching for people on the site is pretty easy. Simply click on the “Search” tab and you’ll have a little box where you can choose from a few different search parameters. These include:
Search by city
Who’s online now
Newest members
Detailed search (must upgrade to use this feature, of course)
Search by username
Best Matches (again, you need to upgrade to use this particular search feature)
Featured profiles
Search mobile users with Text/SMS capabilities
Of those search parameters, the only thing you’re specifying is the age range of your ideal hookup and if they have a photo. That’s it. You’re pretty much going to look at random (usually NSFW) photos.
The site does have a feature called “Quickies” which is like your typical hot or not type game. The site claims that it’s a “scientific matchmaking service” but… Our concern is how scientific can it really be? Our test profile has absolutely no information filled in other than our location, which apparently even used in the matchmaking process because we were matched with someone from a state on the other side of the country!
Yeah, real scientific.
What’s really disappointing to us is that the site isn’t all-inclusive. When you initially sign up or when you use the search feature, you only have the option to look for the opposite sex. If you’re interested a same-sex hookup with a BBW, you don’t have that option.
So what happens if you paid for one of those VIP memberships and you’re not satisfied? You can cancel a BBWDesire account by going to your account settings located on the top left of your screen. It’ll take you to a page with a bunch of options.
You’ll want to go down to where it says “Password and Privacy Settings” and choose “Delete my login and profile.” It will take you to a page where it reminds you that by pressing the “Delete my login” button, it is a permanent action and cannot be retrieved in the future.
This will also stop the site from automatically renewing your VIP plan and charging your credit card.
Of all the dating sites we’ve looked at, BBWDesire is one that leaves a bad taste in our mouth. Not only does the website itself look dated, but there also doesn’t appear to be a privacy policy anywhere on the site, even though the site has a secure connection.
One of the biggest turn-offs about this site is the sheer amount of adult material right there in your face. Yes, this is a dating site for hooking up with BBW, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we should be reminded of that everywhere we look.
Also, after signing into the new account, we received several messages from fake profiles with flirty messages. Remember, we didn’t have any information listed on our profile nor did we upload any photos. This leads us to believe the site uses bots to lure members in. But this is mere speculation.
Another big concern is the fact that the site claims to be free for members to use, but everything requires tokens. You cannot message people. You cannot view the adult movies which aren’t even amateur movies posted by members… They are professionally produced. If that’s the case, there are other adult movie sites that are free. So there’s that.
If you’re looking for a way to hookup with women with curves and is confident, you’d be better off joining a different site because this one is not it.
