BBPeopleMeet Review January 2019: Just Fakes or Real Dates?

Last updated: July 2018

Our Review

BBPeopleMeet is an online dating site for big and beautiful (BB) singles. It was designed specifically to meet the needs of big and beautiful singles looking for a serious relationship and their perfect match. The makers believe that the BB community should be represented and appreciated, especially that mainstream dating sites usually consist of slimmer people. Hence, they created the website to help beautiful, big, and curvy ladies and gents in finding their true love.

Founded in 2002, BBPeopleMeet is a daughter platform of People Media, which is owned and operated by Match.com. People Media aims to aid single people belonging to a specialized community – as mentioned earlier, the unrepresented sector. In fact, since they launched BBPeopleMeet, they have been a consistent provider of dating platforms that meet the needs of different kinds of people.

So, if you are a big beautiful person looking for your perfect match, BBPeopleMeet might just be the right place for you.

Other than that, there are no more personal information needed or personality tests to be completed.

Profile completion is not mandatory before you can enjoy the free features. You can finish adding up info and achieve 100% completion anytime, any day. Some of the special features for info completion includes "Personality Questions" and "Top Interests."

Making Contact

Searching for other members is free
Search options are via general search, username, who are currently online, who has viewed your profile, and keyword
If you do general search, you can filter by adding gender, location, status, ethnicity, and other preferences
Both app and website has chat and messaging functions
Communication (message, chat, or flirt) is effective only if you are subscribed to their plan

There is a chatroom

The most important thing to remember when contacting other members is that you need to get a plan and subscribe before you can send free inbox and chat messages. This is necessary as the dating site, just like other online dating websites, wishes to protect their members from fraudulent or fake accounts. You are allowed to search members and see their information (e.g. About Me, What I'm Looking For, Photos, History) but contacting them is not for free. If you choose, however, to subscribe to their plan and you wish to block someone, you are allowed to do so but you can always unblock them anytime.

Profile Quality

Searching and viewing of other members' profile requires no payment
Content of your profile information includes facts about you, about the one you are looking for, etc.
Your profile is invisible to everyone until the admin approves your first uploaded photo
Other members have the option to either send you a message or a flirt when they visit your profile
You can report a fake profile or any fraudulent acts

The profiles are very detailed
The profile information can be changed later
Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free
Display photo, About, Introductory paragraph, About the One I'm Looking for, I'd Just Like to Add, Top Interests, Personality Questions, and Message Ideas.

BBPeopleMeet is strict when it comes to making contact but their information sharing is quite unrestricted. Even if you cannot send someone a message, you will still be able to check his or her photos and all other information. You will not be able to see their last log in date and time but if you are online, you will see if they are too.

The profiles are informative and comprehensive as well. Since there are a lot of free boxes to fill in and other sections to answer, and most members actually fill in their profiles completely, you will easily know whether a member’s interest would fit into your taste or not. This gives you a chance to check if contacting that member would create a good relationship and initiate a real date. Getting a real date is actually possible because most members are really looking for a serious relationship.

With respect to the privacy of your information, there is no need to worry because the site has a privacy policy. All your data and information are protected. Should you have privacy concerns or was able to track a fake profile, you can always contact their customer service.

App

App is easy to use, functional, and simple
Design is quite non-elegant but it has a very welcoming approach

Your plan automatically renews every after your subscription expires. This is to prevent any interruptions on your ongoing communication with other members. Should you opt to cancel it, you may do so by going to the "Settings" tab on your profile and clicking "My Account" from the drop-down menu.

Real Life Review

Daryl, Chef, 29 -- I have been always fond of eating. I love food. Who does not? You see, even in college, I took Culinary Arts because I wanted to perfect my cooking. Hence, the heavy weight and big body. But with the help of BBPeopleMeet, I did not just find the love of my life. I was also able to feel more confident in the way I look and the way I communicate with others. This online dating platform is really a good site for people who are big and beautiful. It is the perfect home for us. In fact, I would like to consider it as one of the best dating sites. I cannot imagine how my life would have been if I did not sign up myself in it. I would probably be the last lonely person in the world if it were not for BBPeopleMeet. I would not have met my very beautiful and loving wife. We are celebrating our third year anniversary next year!

Design and Usability

If we are to talk about the design of both the full site and the mobile app, we can probably say that it is not quite appealing compared to other dating sites. It uses very simple fonts, color combinations, and graphic designs. However, if we are to rate its usability, it is actually pretty easy to navigate. You do not have to be a tech-savvy dude or gal in order to learn it. It only takes 1 to 2 minutes before you can actually master its functions and features. The only not-so-good thing about it aside from its non-elegance would probably be its loading time.
