There’s something about dating while plus-size that feels like walking into a room where the music stops playing the second you arrive. At least, that’s how it felt for me for years scrolling through dating apps, reading bios where “curvy” was code for “not my type,” and wondering if I’d ever be seen as someone worth more than a fetish or a punchline.
That’s why events like The Miss Curvy Seasonal Competition, hosted by WooPlus, hit differently. It’s a global stage for plus-size women to be celebrated. The competition is currently well underway, and the energy around it feels like a mix of New Year optimism and Valentine’s Day warmth. If you haven’t been paying attention, let me catch you up.
What Exactly is Miss Curvy, and How Can You Be Part of It?
Miss Curvy is different than most beauty pageants. It’s softer, braver, and a whole lot more meaningful. Born from the community of WooPlus, the world’s leading dating app for plus-size individuals, it began because too many of us felt like we’d never see ourselves reflected in beauty competitions.
WooPlus launched Miss Curvy with a simple but powerful idea: beauty isn’t limited by size, and every woman deserves a stage where she feels like she belongs. Several seasons later, the event has become a global celebration, with thousands of participants stepping forward to share their creativity, style, and stories.
This year’s theme, “Embracing the New Beauty Standard,” invites women to enter the spotlight—not as someone’s idea of beauty, but as their own definition. It’s about charm, personality, confidence, and wearing your best outfit, whether that’s a sequined dress or a cozy sweater that makes you feel like yourself.
Maybe you’re reading this and thinking, Okay, but what can I do? Great question, my friend.
First, you can vote for your favorite contestants through the WooPlus app. It’s a simple way to support women stepping forward with courage and confidence. Every vote isn’t just a tap on your screen—it’s a little ripple of encouragement that says, Yes, I see you. Yes, you matter.
Why This Matters More Than You Think
Look, dating while plus-size isn’t always easy. The cultural narratives we’ve been handed—about desirability, beauty, and what makes someone “worthy”—still cling to us in frustrating ways. Apps like WooPlus, and events like Miss Curvy, are helping shift that narrative.
This competition is about representation, community, and rewriting the rulebook on what beauty looks like. It’s about creating a space where someone like me can feel like they belong.
So, What’s Next?
The competition runs until February 7, so there’s still time to get involved. Whether you’re voting for a contestant, trying out the Curve It Up Generator, or just watching the magic unfold online, you’re part of something bigger.
And when the event wraps up, the ripple effects will continue—because this isn’t just about one contest or one crown. It’s about shifting how we see ourselves and the world sees us.
If you’ve ever felt invisible, overlooked, or like you didn’t quite fit, let this event be your reminder: you are seen. You are celebrated. And you deserve to feel like a queen—today, tomorrow, and every day after.
So go ahead: download the WooPlus app, vote for your favorites, or try out the Curve It Up Challenge. Celebrate yourself. Celebrate others. And most importantly, let yourself shine.
