A paid membership plan mainly lets you share your own content on the website. Free accounts can still access and view other members' content, save for the galleries since you can only see thumbnails and not the full image/video. Search, matchmaker setting, and messaging are free too. BiggerCity will not let you pay anonymously, but they conceal the purchase under their parent company so you can keep your fetish out of your credit card statement should this be an issue.

Who is signed up on BiggerCity in Australia?

Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on BiggerCity from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.

BiggerCity caters to gay and bisexual men with a fetish for chubs/bears. You do not need to be a chub/bear to join, but most members are. The website's own surveys say 33% of profiles identify as chubs, 28% as chasers, 19% as bears, 8% as chubs4chub, and 12% as no tag. It covers 160 countries worldwide, but its membership is centred in the USA. It also targets Caucasian men aged 35-50. There are a lot of members active, but they don't initiate contact. They are mainly active in the community features, and only then can you meet and chat with them. BiggerCity is for casual dates that can lead to something more, be it a friendship or a relationship.

How does BiggerCity work?

  • Features members on their birthdays in the website's homepage and profile search
  • Everybody can send messages for free
  • BiggerCity has a chat function
  • Messages are free, but you can't share media unless you're on a paid plan

★★★★★ 3.0/5

  • Allows you to view entire public profiles for free
  • Has no verification badges to distinguish authenticated accounts
  • Photos go through review by the site managers before being published
  • Lets you describe yourself with paragraph fields
  • Some photos are only available for certain users, at the discretion of the uploader
  • Profiles are moderately detailed

The BiggerCity app

★★★★★ 3.0/5

  • Look for users through the photo grid feed
  • Message members through the instant messaging feature
  • Has no access to the community features
  • Full app features available for free
  • Adjust the members you see by location

The BiggerCity app is a stripped-down version of the website, and only features the match-finding and chat functions. You can easily browse through profiles in a photo grid. The app is very basic and does not offer anything new for casual dating apps for gay and bisexual men. There also aren't a lot of members on the app as compared to the website, but they do respond quickly. BiggerCity lost a lot of what set it apart from other casual dating sites on the app, so it is recommended to just access the website instead. You can also try out our gay dating test winners if you prefer mobile apps that have more functionality and a bigger membership base.

Our field test

★★★★★ 4.5/5

I’m a 43-year-old bear living in Chicago. Signing up on BiggerCity has been the best decision of my life. Aside from meeting (among other activities, hihi) several bears and chasers, I’m just glad for the new set of friends I’ve made through this site. It wasn’t hard to click with the rest of the members since there were a lot of ways for us to bond with real people with common interests. I even attended one of the BiggerCity events and it was a blast! Nothing better than a night of bears, booze, and besties. This website definitely made it a breeze to spice up my life.

Design & usability

The website is very straightforward but it feels bulky, as it doesn't utilise smart and sleek segmentation / transitions between sections of the website. It also uses clipart as its graphic elements, aside from photos that resemble 2000s advertisements. It has a dated interface, mainly because it caters to an older group of users. Despite this, it's very reliable and doesn't take much bandwidth to load. It may be bulky but it's not clunky.

Special features

Since BiggerCity is interested in building a community, most of its special features are crowd-based. It creates avenues for members to have a richer experience in dating and making friends. There are a lot of group/public activities such as forums and blogs where members can meet and talk about whatever they're interested in.

Finding people 1

Who Viewed My Profile?Free

You can see the recent visitors of your profile, and you can browse their profiles too. However, this is not accurate as premium members can view profiles anonymously.

Messaging and contact 1

Public Chat RoomFree

You can participate in public chat rooms with other members online. You can open your own chatroom and broadcast your webcam video for members who join. There are also chat rooms for discussing specific topics.

Profile and visibility 1

GalleriesFree

You can view and upload your own photos and videos to the website's gallery, which are usually erotic or explicitly sexual in nature. You can also upload drawings and fanart. The gallery can only fully be accessed by those on a paid membership, but free accounts can browse through thumbnails.

Community and events 2

Blog and Site DirectpryFree

BiggerCity allows its citizens to post their personal blogs and websites in a directory for other members to read through. Though it is expected that it deals with a lot of mature content, most of the posts and websites are actually about the personal thoughts, ideas, and lives of the other members. This can range from cooking recipes to their own erotic literature to their opinions on movies.

EventsFree

BiggerCity features a calendar that allows you to see the events that other citizens have organised. These can be simple social gatherings or full-on parties for members in a locality.

Final results

3.0
“BiggerCity is definitely a website that lives up to its name, thanks to its extra features. It may seem outdated in regards to design and user experience, but what it lacks in flash it makes up for in culture.”
