That’s why I suggested fat-pos-only spaces (not “body/sex-positive,” which have gotten really diluted in meaning), in terms of meeting a prospective partner — hopefully local or relatively-local, so that they can meet up for a chemistry check sooner rather than later.

If there is a local fat-pos in-person group, that is also a good option.

(I’m a little hesitant to suggest a lot of in-person socializing in random local groups, we’re still in a pandemic.)

When I was actively looking for a local partner, and to expand my local circle of friends, I joined Meetup groups and went to various kink and poly munches (for anyone unfamiliar with that term, it’s a social meetup in a public place, usually a restaurant), and… honestly didn’t meet anyone I wanted to date, but I got out, made some friends, and it was overall good for me to make the effort.
