First Impression

The white background makes everything on the dating site very clean and clear to read. Largefriends dating feels like a modern dating site and, judging on the interface, cannot be too old. It feels like a dating site made for the modern age, with many different age groups featured on the home page.

Largefriends Interface

Largefriends dating has got to be one of the easiest interfaces to navigate we’ve experienced on a dating site in a long time. Friendly for all age groups, the Largefriends dating interface looks like a cutting-edge social media platform interface.

Largefriends Members

After selecting your age and location preferences, Largefriends dating will present you with a wide array of results. It is obvious from scrolling through what type of member each suggestion is and their location, ethnicity, and age. It’s also clear exactly what they’re looking for, as their highlighted bio is visible.

Largefriends Sign up/Log in

Largefriends sign up

The first section of the signature page is simple, particularly if you’ve got a Facebook account, as you can use this to sign up for Largefriends dating. The second section of the sign-in process takes a little while, as you need to think about what type of girl you want to start dating.

Profiles Quality

Largefriends profile

Some Largefriends dating users may find the 2nd half of the profile creation process a little bit tedious. The site requires that you fill out a certain amount so that your profile can be processed. This includes filling out an ‘about me’ section and an ‘about my match’ section. Both of these have a 50-character minimum limit, so it’s not as if you can just fill out a few lines now and come back to it later. You’ve really got to think about how you want to come across as a user of the site and condense that into a few paragraphs. This is the first dating site we’ve come across that requires this from the get-go.

What makes up for this is how good the dating profiles look after you’ve finished creating them. They look super clean and very presentable and sure to secure you plenty of dating opportunities.

Communication

No user of the site is fake. All the profiles appear genuine, and the ones that we interacted with gave real-life, believable responses. By reading people’s profile descriptions and viewing the corresponding bios and information sections, you can tell that these people are genuine and are looking for some serious dating with a willing partner.

There is no over-the-top content on people’s profiles in terms of explicit images or wording. This carries over to messages. Out of everyone we messaged, no one was willing to dive into all our explicit content. People on this site want to take things slow and find a partner they believe to be ideal for their needs.

It’s clearly not a dating website to get overly flirtatious on, and more a casual website where people can have fun and chat with one another. There’s no pressure to speak explicitly.

Costs and Prices

When browsing through the Largefriends dating, you’re likely to come across plenty of ads telling you that you should consider upgrading and that the site works best when you pay for its services. Whenever you message an individual, the site will automatically jump to the payment page, detailing the latest payment plans on the site.

Prices:

1 month – $1.00 per day (Offered as 1 payment of $29.95, which saves you 25%)

3 months – $19.95 per month (Offered as 1 payment of $59.95, which saves you 50%)

6 months – $15.95 per month (offered as 1 payment of $95.95, which saves you 60%)

Clearly, after having tried the basic free account, it would be a good decision to invest in one of these lump-sum payments for Largefriends dating, as it can end up saving you a lot of money. The 6 months work out pretty cost-effectively.

Free Account

With a free Largefriends dating account, you are pretty limited to sending ‘winks’, which conveys interest in other users of the dating site. You can also set up your profile, upload photos, browse through other people’s profiles, and respond to messages that other premium members send you.

Premium Account

Largefriends premium account

The biggest highlight of a paid-for Largefriends dating account is that you can browse through the site anonymously, keeping your secret safe. You also get to experience the optimized site, which includes viewing other user’s profiles fully, playing videos, and viewing photos in high resolution. Of course, you can also initiate conversation.

App & Mobile Version

The app version of Largefriends is where this dating site truly thrives in terms of member usage. The majority of Largefriends users search through matches on their phone, whether the application or the mobile version.

Unfortunately for iPhone users, the official Largefriends app is only available on Android. Advertised in the Play Store as ‘BBW Dating and Curvy Singles Chat – Largefriends,’ the app boasts a rating of 3.6. The app generally holds favorable written reviews, with most of them featuring 5 stars. Highlights amongst the 5-star ratings include how easy it is to get started, how beautiful the members are, and how modern the app is.

On the other hand, some negative reviews cite difficulty getting verified and the expensiveness of the app as being majorly off-putting.

A mobile version is available for iPhone users, which is more concise than the app and the web version.

Privacy and Safety Features

Having been running as a website for 20 years, Largefriends dating has its privacy and security features nailed down. New members are screened and regularly checked upon, ensuring that no scammers or bots make it through. You can report suspicious members easily, but it is unlikely that you’re going to encounter many.
