Boston, MA (WFN) -- A matchmaking website called Overweightdate.com that caters to the large and love-lorn population claims to be the heavy-hitter in its niche market.

Overweightdate.com founder Ian Klein says his service focuses on the "Big, Beautiful Women" and "Big, Handsome Men" market, but also attracts the chubby-chaser clientele.

Klein says the inspiration for the site came from seeing his own hefty sister struggle in finding a relationship, so he created the site where like-sized people could come together.

The proof is in the pudding: He says his sister has been in the same relationship with the same man for "quite some time."

Klein claims millions of users are connected to overweightdate.com and since 64 percent of Americans are deemed overweight, Klein says his site caters to the majority of people.
