Profile:

So, honesty being the best policy…… I’m loud (not always), can be bossy (show me a woman who isn’t), passionate about life, warm-hearted and fair-minded. I laugh a lot – it’s been remarked upon and I can’t deny it. I love to socialise, eating with friends is one of life’s joys, but I also like a quiet night in with a book, a good movie and a cup of tea! I’m a glass half full girl, life is too short to be really miserable, and if I don’t like where I’m at then it’s up to me to change it. I’m close to my family but they’re not on the doorstep and I have a great circle of friends. I love Shakespeare and I’ve been brainwashing my nieces and nephews for years by taking them to the theatre. I love all sorts of music, usually nothing in the charts – swing, jazz, old-style calypso (half-Trinidadian you see), 50s rock ‘n’ roll, South African gospel, but my absolute favourites have got to be Argentine tango (all that smouldering passion) and anything Cuban (rhythm and romance – sheer heaven!). I love to travel, although there’s never enough time, but I’m not really into roughing it – wasn’t at 20, so not now! Venice is my favourite place on the planet – I do adore Italy generally – but Australia runs a close second and there is so much more of the world I want to see. I’m not sporty but I love to dance – I teach a bit of beginners ballroom & latin dancing in my spare time but I’d love to learn salsa or Argentine tango one day. So, what am I looking for? Someone who knows who he is and likes himself. Strength of character but flexible, forgiving and self-aware – I’m a great believer in walking a mile in the other man’s shoes. Someone to laugh with, who makes me laugh, who challenges me intellectually and surprises me. We don’t have to share all the same interests but some would be nice! If you’re out there, and I may have just described a figment of my imagination, then get in touch.

Are you sick of being judged by your size? Indeed, despite many positive developments in recent years, the larger of us seem to continue to face prejudice from every corner. Barely a day goes by, for example, when we don’t see yet another magazine cover or newspaper article with stick-thin, airbrushed models.

If you are carrying a few extra pounds to what the media portray as the so-called ‘normal’ human yourself, all of this can make it harder for you to accept and love yourself as you are – which is why we have set up a website that is specifically designed to make it easier for big singles who are, and should be, proud of who they are, to meet each other!

Lessons of attraction for big singles

Remember that plus size dating, as with every other type of dating, isn’t simply about making yourself ready and easily available to anyone and everyone. Indeed, simply responding eagerly to the first person who expresses any interest is an unlikely strategy for finding the right person, and nor is it a way of making yourself more interesting to your dream man or woman.

It may seem unfair that ‘the bad guy always gets the girl’, but we are invariably attracted to interesting and challenging people. By being confident and self-assured alone and by living your own life, you will often paradoxically find that more people find you intriguing as a potential date.
