“Dating is all about preference: and in 2016, every preference has its own dating app. For plus-size women and their admirers, an app called WooPlus is the latest effort to create a vibrant niche dating community.
It all started because of a viral video: Co-founders Neil Raman, Michelle Li and some other friends were chatting online about a video showing a social experiment where men were set up with women they thought were thin, only to find in real life that the women were actually heavier.
"There was a lot of mocking, and basically making her feel lesser of a person because of her size," Li told the Daily Dot in a phone interview. "We thought, 'that happens a lot.'" More importantly, the friends knew people who specifically want to date larger women do exist. "We thought why don’t we come up with a dating app to see just what kind of result we’d get out of it," Li said. Since launching in November, the free app has 10,000 users worldwide and growing.”
