Long-time lurker, first thread — my question is about dating app for plus size women. With size apps, nothing improves until you test the search filters before uploading anything. The fetishized angle is worse, because the deciding factor is the reply rate, on the evidence I've.
If fetishized is your priority, the practical move is to run a reverse image search on suspiciously polished photos. Applied to fetishized apps, what decides it is how much sits behind the paywall, not the size of the database.
It is worth checking the churn on new sign-ups before you look at whatever the landing page promises, which is the whole problem with size apps. There's a pattern with dating app for plus size women: the quality of the filters does more work than how many photos people post, having tried a handful of these. Happy to be told I'm asking the wrong question about size apps.
