CuddlyFreeAndSingle.com Review - Is This the Dating Site for You?

Overview

Plus size dating is a niche that has grown exponentially over the last few years, and it's easy to see why. Mainstream dating sites can feel like a fickle game of one-upmanship, and if you fall anywhere outside of the generic norm, you're often excluded, which can be a horrid knock to the self-esteem of even the most gorgeous daters! With a focus on personality matching, recommendations of members who share your interests and live nearby, CuddlyFreeandSingle is all about meeting plus-size men and women on a more in-depth basis than the vacuous swipe games based solely on appearance. 

Three simple steps to plus size dating success on CuddlyFreeAndSingle.com

There are both free and premium membership options to choose from and all the features you might be familiar with if you're a pro in the world of online dating. While this platform is aimed solely at plus-size men and women, it doesn't set parameters like some, making it feel accessible, friendly, and welcoming - without any features that feel condescending and none that are specifically aimed at weight or clothing size.

Aside from the imagery, CuddlyFreeandSingle doesn't categorize members in any way. So, you can browse through local users, respond to your recommended matches, or play the Encounters game with an emphasis on finding a mutual connection and relationship match, based on the criteria that matter most to you in a relationship.

Ease Of Use

CuddlyFreeandSingle.com is a piece of cake to use, although we did find some of the text on the homepage very hard to read (white on a pale background isn't the best color choice!). That small niggle aside, it's a dating platform that looks and feels modern and fresh, with bright colors and clear layouts. 

When you register, you will be automatically sent to the relevant platform (there are pages in the states but also Australia & the UK) and need to enter your email address, gender and relationship preference, date of birth, and a password to get a new profile created.

After that, there are a few different questions to answer; although you can click on Skip if you want to come back to these:

• Upload a profile photo.

• What do you like to do for fun?

• What is your favorite meal?

• What is the most interesting fact about you?

• Describe yourself.

• Appearance.

• Lifestyle.

• Select your interests.

Once you have answered all the questions, you get a free introduction, even if you're a non-paying member, so it's well worth taking the time to work through it all. There are prompts to lend a hand at each stage if you're not sure how to answer the question - which is a great help!

Following the sign-up pages, you get straight into a fully populated home page, so even if you're not ready for your free introduction, you can start browsing, checking matches, and responding to suggestions straight away! The Encounters game is a quick-fire way to find mutual connections, and you can click Yes, No, or Maybe - and if the user you're interested in feels the same way, you're off to a good start.

The layout and design are easy to use, with a straightforward arrangement and white background, with thumbnails displayed in a grid, so they're easy to scroll through. Suggestions are also categorized into who is online now, suggested matches, today's new members, and member activity - so if you've been a CuddlyFreeandSingle member for a while, it's super fast to see who is new to the platform and might be pleased to receive a welcoming introducing!

Conclusion

Our big takeaway from CuddlyFreeandSingle.com is that it almost feels secondary that you're on a plus-size dating site, which is a win! All too often, larger dating is sexualized or portrayed as a kink or fetish, when it's just the same as any other people looking for romantic dates, and perhaps a life partner; ordinary folks, who happen to be cuddly.

There are none of those awkward questions about your dress size, and the members here seem really authentic and, well, cuddly - no strange chubby chasers or fantasies in sight! It's massively refreshing to find a plus-size dating site that is aimed at genuine members, and given that a considerable proportion of the US population falls into the cuddly category, it's certainly not a demographic that needs to feel objectified or sexualized outside of their own preferences, that is!

We found CuddlyFreeandSingle easy to use, and like that you get instant matches on registering, so if you're so inclined, you can dive straight in. Alternatively, you can choose a free membership and take your time browsing and checking out the site features before you decide to commit to an upgraded membership - or stick to a free profile and take up the opportunity of free messaging and an introduction to kick things off to a flying start!

Our only dislike? The home page image. If you can overlook one graphic that's a little, well, cheesy, you're in a great place. Otherwise, this is a fab plus-size dating platform with all the pros you'd expect from a much larger site, but in a welcoming space for cuddly men and women.
