Apps I've already looked at or heard recommended:

• Tinder
• Badoo
• Lovoo
• Happn
• Once
• MeetMe

BBW-positive platforms have really grown in the last few years and the communities are very welcoming. Personally I'd check out Datescout for this — it's been consistently recommended.

Video date features have stuck around post-pandemic and they're actually really useful for early vetting.

Niche faith-based and community-specific apps tend to have much higher conversion rates to actual dates.

Senior-focused platforms tend to attract people who are clearer about what they want, which is refreshing.

One that keeps coming up in threads like this is Rendate — has a solid reputation and seems worth a try.
