any advice on plus sized dating. I've found there is no way to filter my matches on dating sites such as eharmony and I only feel comfortable with those matches who are accepting of a full figured woman. Otherwise I feel like it's a waste of time and just sets me up for rejection.

It's been a while since I used a dating site, but when you fill out the details about yourself - the sites I used asked you to describe or rate your body type or something like that. Also be sure to post full-length pictures of yourself. That way there shouldn't be any surprises and if someone is interested they will know what to expect already.

Good Luck!

You are correct that it's not possible to filter on any aspects of appearance on eH. This is one reason that it's important to post representative pictures on your profile (like it or not, most matches will close if there are no photos).

That being said. "rejection" is simply part of the process for all of us on eH, no matter what our size, so there is no way to avoid that; it's just part of the filtering process. Even if you were Angelina Jolie you would not receive responses to all of the requests for contact that you send to matches...lol.
