Summary:
BBWPersonalsPlus.com is a site dedicated to the pursuit of BBWs, or Big Beautiful Women. As such, this Sparks Network powered site should be the destination for fuller figured daters looking to connect. With the legions of members provided by the Sparks Network’s international base and an expansive series of profile and communication options, BBWPersonalsPlus is the right place for the right people.

Pros:
- Well designed site with a large number of customizable communication options
- Free to sign up
- Most members are plus-sized so there is a strong sense of community which can help other members overcome a lot of fears related to posting pictures of themselves

Cons:
- Still a growing site in terms of member base, at any given time you are looking at between 400 and 1,000 members online
- No communication with other members without premium membership
- If you are neither a BBW or looking for one, then this would not be the site for you

Costs:
Free to sign up but you really have to upgrade to the standard membership at least. While you gain access to virtually every profile-creating tool with the free sign up, you do not gain access to communication with the other members without subscribing. Costs for the standard membership range from $24.99 for one month to the discounted $99.96 for one year while costs for the premium membership range from $31.99 for one month to $135.96 for the year.

Account Setup:
The initial questionnaire should take you in the neighborhood of 10 minutes to complete although fleshing out your profile will be a significantly greater undertaking. There are dozens of additional questions to answer, both multiple choice and essay, on top of up to 4 photo slots to fill in depending on your membership level.

Photos:
With nothing but your free sign up, you’ll be able to upload up to 4 pictures directly onto your profile page. Those photos are rapidly uploaded although the site offers no cropping or editing features. A photo album option organizes hundreds of members’ pictures for you to get a look at a lot of people quickly.

Search:
While the search option is adequate in filtering your potential mates through any number of questions including religious standings, body type, location, smoking habits, etc, the real strength of BBWPersonalsPlus in connecting members is its personality identification system. Color coordinated and lengthy to fill out, members can search for certain personality types by combing BBWPersonalsPlus.com for color combinations.

Special Features:
On top of the personality identification system, BBWPersonalsPlus.com offers a profile spotlight feature, a series of customizable e-cards (such as birthday cards, congratulations cards, etc, etc) and a live chat option for members looking to IM with each other.

Communication:
Again, the only members who do any communicating on BBWPersonalsPlus.com are the paying ones. But those who do pony up the membership fees, they can send any number of e-cards to each other, emails and go through BBWPersonalsPlus.com itself for a live chat network experience.

Support:
BBWPersonalsPlus is a growing site so it falls short in customer support when compared to the more established giants out there. However, BBWPersonalsPlus offers a decent FAQs section in addition to a support email address and a toll free hotline for speaking with a customer support agent directly. As we received an answer to a simple billing question after about 35 hours, the site’s customer support team should be characterized as average.

In their words:
Your complete profile will give others a chance to get to know you. And, combined with our Match Preferences, you have a great way to find interesting people! You can use smiles, cards, IM and more to meet and get to know your new friends on BBWPersonalsPlus.com.

Our reviewer’s opinion:
For ultimately being a site dedicated to a single type of mate, BBWPersonalsPlus.com has an unusually strong personality identification system. The color type system actually works in matching you with someone who really does fit with you. On the other hand, membership numbers are relatively low so you’d better be located in or around a major city. All in all, if you’ve got your heart set on a BBW, then you could do a lot worse than BBWPersonalsPlus.com.
