What is Curvy Singles?
Curvy Singles Dating is an app that focuses on curvy women. It's that simple. Curvy singles is a niche app for men seeking women with curves.
The app is available here:
The App is limited to certain cities.
As of now, Curvy Singles appears to be limited to a handful of cities. So, if you don't live in any of the cities below, this app may not be for you.
- Seattle, Washington
- Raleigh, North Carolina
- Ashburn, Virginia
- Boardman, Oregon
- Los Angeles, California
- Chicago, Illinois
- San Jose, California
- New York
- Dallas, Texas
- Houston, Texas
Hopefully, the app will expand to a national level instead of a few cities. That will expand the female userbase.
What cities is Curvy Singles available in?
There are two memberships: free and premium.
Curvy offers a free membership and premium membership. Benefits of the premium membership include:
- You can send unlimited likes.
- You can see who likes you and match instantly.
- You do not get ads.
Curvy Singles offers a free 3-day trial. I recommend trying the app on the weekend to see if it's for you. The premium membership is very expensive compared to other traditional dating apps.
Yes, you can like a woman's profile (and message her) using the free version. The app will subject you to tons of advertisements while using the free version.
The premium membership of Curvy Singles is expensive.
The free version of Curvy Singles is frustrating.
The free membership is a chore and useless. You are bombarded with advertisements constantly.
I want to share how the experience may be for you on Curvy Singles:
You visit a woman's app. Like her profile and exit her bio. Guess what? The app shows you a video ad you cannot exit from until it finishes.
Next, you visit another woman's profile and "like" her profile. Again, the app subjects you to another video ad you must sit through.
You look at the next woman's profile and don't like her. So, you decide to exit to the main menu. Guess what? Another video ad appears, which you must finish.
The free version is frustrating beyond belief. I exited an ad, and the app forced me to the Google Play store (I have an android phone).
There were times I had to shut the app down because I was stuck in a video ad. Every time I try and exit, I'm taken to Google Play.
The Curvy app subjects you to ads when using the free version.
How to create a profile on Curvy Singles.
Creating a profile on Curvy Singles will feel familiar to anyone who uses dating apps. You can write a bio, which is limited to 200 characters.
The app also allows you to choose several traits allowing women to see beyond your bio. These include pets, your body type, occupation, income, smoking, etc. It's a good idea to answer these traits as women may seek men fitting those traits.
Your profile on Curvy Singles is similar to other apps.
Are there women on Curvy Singles?
There are a handful of women using the app. Even for a niche app, you may be disappointed that few women are active on the App.
A handful of women actively use Curvy Singles.
Typically, the age range of women using the app is over 35 years old. There are very few women under 30. The majority of women are indeed curvy.
Women on Curvy Singles typically seek a relationship.
The women on Curvy Singles are typically seeking a relationship. The app is not a hook-up or casual dating app.
What the icons mean on the app.
The App is easy to navigate.
The icons on Curvy Singles are easy and intuitive. Here's what they do, from left to right (see above):
- The heart with the location tag shows women on the app in your city.
- The thumbs up takes you to the Traits feature (see below).
- The conversation bubbles is your inbox.
- The last is an image of your profile where you can make changes to it.
What are the features of the Curvy Singles app?
Curvy Singles offers limited features. Limited features is a good thing because it makes the experience straightforward. Here are a few of the features in the app:
Filtering tool - The filtering tool offers over 15 different settings making it very robust. Be sure to choose the "online" setting so you can focus on women actively using the app.
Curvy Singles has a deep filtering tool.
Traits - This feature groups women according to preselected profile traits users choose when creating their profile. When you click on a trait, the app shows you women who all share a given trait.
The Traits feature groups women with similar interests.
Does Curvy Singles deliver?
When looking at a dating app, I rate it on two things: 1) Are there women on the app. 2) Does the app deliver on its promise. Here's how Curvy Singles fare.
1. Are women on Curvy Singles? Yes, but not enough to recommend. Tack on the app focuses on select cities. So, if you don't live in a city on its list, you're out of luck.
2. Does Curvy Singles deliver what it promises? In theory, yes. Curvy Singles states the app is "open to singles who are curvy or like to meet and date curvy girls, super-size big, beautiful women (BBW)..." It certainly does that as the majority of women are curvy.
The problem with Curvy Singles is there are too few women using it. You will find more curvy women on literally every other dating app; Tinder, OkCupid, Match.com, etc.
Final Thoughts
I like the idea of Curvy Singles, an app for people seeking a different body type. The problem is there aren't enough women using the app. I cannot recommend this app because literally, every other mainstream app has more women who are curvy.
Also, the app is only available for a few select cities. I don't understand this at all. If you're not in a city (see above), you are out of luck.
The free version of the app is a frustrating experience. You're constantly bombarded with video advertisements you must watch. Like a profile, sending a message, backing out of a profile all trigger ads. I would NEVER use the free version of this app.
There is a very expensive premium version. Right now, it's $27 a month. There is no way I can recommend that for what you get in return. If there were a lot of women using the app, it might be a different story.
Another problem with the app is there are too many fake accounts. They are easy to spot because they are super hot women.
If you're interested in this app, I recommend using the free 3-day trial. Sign up on a Friday and use it through the weekend. By Sunday, you will know if this app is for you.
