Biggerbeauties.com is part of the Tango Wire network that includes the following sites:

dawgpersonals.com
curvepersonals.com
biggerbeauties.com
allhispanicdating.com
alljewishdating.com
allmiltarydating.com
allblackdating.com
allasiandating.com
allthingsqueer.net
allthingsbisexual.com
allseniordating.com
allinteracialdating.com
christian-singles-sites.net
allthingsromantic.com
allfitnessdating.com
biggirlsgalore.com

Many of these sites are comprised of the same members.
Only the web site names are changed.

The site will censor members even if they adhere to the site's own guidelines. If you write about your bad experience with their service and attempt to warn others, they will threaten you with lawsuits and prosecution. Full figured women are vulnerable enough without the jack booted thugs from Tango Wire ripping them off. Even a brief mention of the complaint filed on ripoffreport.com was promptly removed by Tango Wire. There are enough dating sites out there that have more respect for their customers. Nobody needs to deal with the unprofessional staff and management of any Tango Wire site. Perhaps Penn & Teller should investigate these over zealous jerks on their Showtime series, "B.S". To the gentleman from Ohio that was not only harassed but had monetary losses, I'm with you 100%. Give 'em hell! These sites are the worst in the business.

First - my beef with Tangowire doesn't rise to the level of any kind of legal action on anyone's part. I just wish they would not do things like create a bisexual dating site that discriminates against bisexuals and transgendered folks. I've experienced the bisexual discrimination, but here's an article about the transgendered discrimination.

In my case (and you can easily test this out to see if it's true...) I am a bi man looking to meet a bi woman. Tangowire seems not to understand the nature of bisexuality in that people who are attracted to both sexes may indeed want to be contacted by both sexes. But they've set up the site so that bi men can only search for other men. I presume they've also set it up so that bi women can only search for other women.

All it would take is a menu choice of who each person would like to be contacted by and a filter added to the search program and voila - A l*****n woman's profile that said she did not want to be contacted by men, would never show up when anyone who listed himself as a male did a search for women. I have no desire to contact anyone who doesn't want to hear from me - I'm not interested in forcing myself on anyone. But the whole point of a dating site is to be able to search and find LIKE_MINDED people! Right now - bi men and bi women who are looking for each other are out of luck on TangoWire!

I never paid for a membership, so there were no monetary losses. Just a bit of frustration that site that was started and run by GLBT folks would turn on it's own community this way.

Another observation: "Keith" from TangoWire has basically the same response to several people who have made reports on Ripoff Report. He says that they were harrassing other members and that they don't get a refund - even when they've already said they never paid for a membership. Then the "ex-employee" chimes in. Looks a bit orchestrated to me. Of course, that's just my opinion.

My profile fit within their rules, it had been on their system for months, I made a grammatical change, and suddenly it was, lewd and "provocative"

This was a tangowire system called bbwsingles.

They did the same thing - deleted my account, stating I was harrasing a memeber.

I suggest to ANYONE a member of this system to cancel, and CHARGE BACK YOUR CREDIT CARD! Don't put up with this.

To the alleged Tango Wire employee who filed a rebuttal. What other complaints? You have no idea what you are talking about. First of all, my profile was not deleted because I harassed other members. I have been on many dating sites over the years and have never harassed a single member of any dating site. Nor have I ever be accused of harassing another member. Next falsehood: I am not seeking a refund. I never joined your website in the first place. If your no-refund policy is spelled out in advance I consider that fair except if there is outright fraud going on. In which case, my credit card company would back me up. Falsehood three: I never commented on the quality of your members or the legitimacy of their profiles. They seem nice and sincere. You obviously have mistaken me for someone else. Read the complaint and you'll save yourself from making irrelevant statements. What is your position with the company that they would allow such unprofessional and petulant comments to be made on their behalf? Your knee jerk response accusing me of being a misogynist, I find borderline slanderous and yet humorously hypocritical. You and your company have no problem at all bilking the women on your website out of their money. Now there is company mission seems to be in accordance with an fine and upstanding respect for women. Who's zooming who?

This guy is not telling whole truth

#12UPDATE EX-employee responds

Fri, August 19, 2005

I used to be a employee of TangoWire. They are a good and nice company and the Web sites this guy says are bad are real good - best ones.

TangoWire protects me and my membership and helped me find my new husband (a nice guy). I used to work for them but I moved to be with my new husband in florida. I know... they are real nice people there and they go crazy when some guy like this guy says bad thing. It is not true. Many people get married because of these good sites.

Any site which says powered by tangowire -- you go there. It is worth it my friends.

(sorry my english is so bad. I'm just learning)

Abusing Member Get's 86'd For Harassing Other Members

#12UPDATE Employee

Fri, August 19, 2005

This member is the same guy making other complaints about our good company and Web sites. He's mad because we deleted his profile for harassing other members.

Our policy is to delete any member WITHOUT REFUND if they harass other members - period. If he doesn't like it, he can go to another Web site and pull that trick.

The Web sites this guy listed are part of a very respectable network called TangoWire. It's full of very respectable and "real" people. This guy just doesn't fit in because he doesn't respect women.

Respond to this Report!
