Your call, always
Safe BBW Dating: You Decide Who Gets Your Time
Block instantly, report from the site and say no without explaining yourself.
Unwanted attention
Nobody is owed a reply
Respect runs both ways here. If someone will not take no for an answer, you can block them and report them. Two more protections work in the background.
Block a member
It takes effect instantly.
Report from the site
Something crossed a line? Report the profile or message from within the site.
Blurred images
Potentially sensitive images arrive blurred with a warning, so you decide whether to look.
Off-platform alerts
An alert appears when a member tries to take the conversation to WhatsApp or another app, and it warns you about common scam tactics.
Writing to someone new? Start with what BBW means and how to date a BBW respectfully. It saves everyone a block.

Before you meet
Six habits for a first meet you will enjoy
Matched with one of the BBW singles near you? Run through these first.
Talk on the site first
Stay in the site’s messages until you are comfortable. If someone pushes you towards another app, you can say no.
Choose a public place
Make the first meet a busy public place such as a cafe, restaurant or shopping centre, with your own way to get there.
Tell a friend
Share who you are meeting, where and when, and check in with them afterwards.
Keep your address private
Hold back your address, surname and workplace until you trust the person.
Plan your way home
Book a rideshare or drive yourself, and keep a clear head so staying or leaving is always your decision.
Agree the limits first
Say what you both want, protection included, and what is off the table. Either of you can change your mind at any point.
The full guides are on the main site: meeting for sex safely, dating scams in Australia and STI testing in Australia.
Safety: your questions
How do I stop someone who keeps messaging me?
Block them, which works instantly, then report the profile or the message from the site. You owe no reply or explanation first, and potentially sensitive images are blurred behind a warning, so looking is your call.
What if someone asks me for money?
Say no, block them and report the profile from the site. The Australian Federal Police advises never sending money to anyone you have met online, and soliciting money from members for services breaks the house rules, as does sending members to other sites. Support is open at any hour if you want to talk it through.
Is BBW Local Sex Meets safe to use?
Meeting anyone new carries some risk, online or off. What the site adds is control: blocking, reporting, blurred images, off-platform alerts and human support at any hour. Add the six habits above and the decision to go ahead stays yours.
