While there are an abundance of dating apps for consumers to choose from, WooPlus is taking a different appraoch by offering a safe space for plus-size men and women to connect.

WooPlus is similar to [Tinder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-one) in that is allows users to browse through potential matches before chatting privately. However, the app differs in that its primary goal is to create a safe space where plus-size daters are appreciated rather than ignored or objectified. The app also differs from other dating platforms in that the [matches will expire after 48 hours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after) if the users do not begin a conversation. This feature is designed to encourage users to get to know one another and create meaningful connections.

Like other [niche dating apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mattr), WooPlus provides an alternative for those who are frustrated or unsatisfied with mainstream dating platforms.
