I've been on the site for many months. I made a mistake at ever going on this site. Black men create profiles and pose as white men in the pictures. They create a white mans face and list them under African American.
I'm not opposed to dating outside my race but not on that website. They are dishonest and it quite obvious, POF doesn't staff enough people on their own to stop this. You end up doing the work for POF should do in removing fake profiles. They are 16th on the list of dating sites for a reason. You couldn't pay me to use this site.
Pof is just the bottom twenty percent of society all denanding someone from the top 10 percent.
They have absolutely no hope at all but refuse to compromise. It's frankly embarrassing to see such spoilt behaviour.
Pof is full of extremely picky middle aged women who still think they can be as choosy as they were when they were twenty one. It's entitlement city on there and delusion central all rolled into one.
Its just rammed with women who demand the man of their dreams but refuse to upgrade so have to constantly tell you they can't see likes.
I've never seen so many people with blatant issues. This is not a good place to be. It's misfit city, timewaster central.
If you do find someone okay bear in mind they'll be 500 other men messaging too

Saw nothing but profile after profile of angry, undateable women.
Decided to give it another go but encountered nothing but rude, tattooed, weird women who spend their whole time complaining they can't see likes (and of course being angry)

PS. POF hilariously has introduced something called Prestige, where you can pay 130 a month extra to have your likes and messages appear at the top of their inbox.
Very poor customer service. Bait n Switch - they charge your credit card then ban your account refusing to pay back money. Do yourself a favor stay away and find another site
Customer service emails for resolution are " RUDE "
Good luck finding a lady of good breeding on POF.
Heck, good luck even finding anybody even appealing
The 'ladies' are more masculine and uncouth than most men I know. I don't find cursing all the time and being covered in tattoos attractive or ladylike. I guess they don't know any better
Most on POF are incredibly rude, lack any humor class, or even basic decency, but they sure still demand the man of their dreams.
Tldr; POF is full of terribly low-class people. I think the phrase is 'scraping the bottom of the barrel.
It's not the site it is the people that are to blame
How can you take any site seriously when every single woman on there thinks she is a princess who won't settle for anything less than the men of their dreams. It's crazy
PlentyOfFish is a tremendous website if you're on the lookout for a single mother or searching for someone who is crazy and covered in tattoos... it's full of them.
If, on the other hand, you're looking for someone happy friendly and with no baggage, then you'll be sorely disappointed.
80 percent of the females on POF are utterly dreadful. The remaining 20% are just plain Jane standard. Yet they ALL think they're a solid 10/10. Just look at the state of the photos and the aggressive profiles they put up. You're dealing with the reject bin of life.
The only reason they adopt the picky entitled attitude and make no attempt with their profile is because of how pathetic a lot of the men are on there act.
Way too many simp desperate men who are so thirsty for any partner at all that they bombard every single woman with messages telling them how great they are.
Most of the men are to blame and need to get some self respect. The women must laugh at the desperation
It's utterly embarrassing. Online dating is dreadful. It's full of horrible desperate and rude people.
The people on the site are either unwilling or unable to fill out their dating profile without being rude or demanding, so it's hardly surprising they can't make their relationships work and are single?
It's pretty evident they're on POF because no one else can deal with them in real life yet they act like God's gift, and they're actually doing you a favor by being on POF.
They all seem incredibly angry, unhappy and downright rude. So more for creating a good first impression. Can't see likes, hate liars, and cheats; make me laugh; don't waste my time!. No ugly people! Were just some of the headlines I saw and should give an indication of what kind of people you'll encounter if you sign up to this site
All the females on POF are looking for their prince to spend their life with. That would be fine apart from the fact they offer very little and want it all.
Let's be honest. If you're short, unfit, not very aesthetically pleasing, and lacking basic social skills, can you really demand a man who is very good-looking, funny, and tall? It's not going to happen, is it?
Most of them also had a really bad attitude problem and didn't seem to like men.
Safe to say this you won't find your dream partner on this site. Probably 5000-1 odds
There is no way to input and/or search by my preferences in a mate so it's all up to POF who in turn wants me to check out males twenty years younger and inches shorter.
Scammers abound and there are plenty of men posting pictures that are not their own. For example, one man posted a picture of Albert Einstein, confirmed by Google. Reported to no avail, it's still there. Others post pictures of their cats, dogs, unknown females, sunset, numerous vehicles without a rider, phone numbers in the About section, and more. Some even get away with having multiple profiles.
Reports fall on deaf ears. Men members are allowed all this, while I, a female, posted a photo of an open road and it was taken down. Can't vouch what is done to the other female posts as I can't view them.
Am not paying a penny to this site because I don't think it's worth it. The only good thing is that you can write your About section practically freehand and that you can still get somewhere as a not a paid member.
Ok. Let's just say there are some complete perverts on this site. I however went on three dates. The first guy no chemistry but such a nice guy we are still friends. Second date the guy was very nice we just had different views on life. I was going to tie up because I was getting some really offensive messages but I decided to give this one guy a shot. Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised! We are still seeing each other. It's in the early stages still but I'm happy I gave it another shot. Never met anyone like him. Let's just say fingers crossed and for now profile removed. Don't be discouraged by the jerks. You might actually find someone amazing.
You have to pay or you can't send messages or see likes. It's misleading when the little counter gives the number of people interested in you but just because someone looked at your profile doesn't mean they are interested. You can't control the distance. Most of my choices are from over 100 miles away. I frequently get "likes" from other states but I've never heard from any of those people when I respond. Most likely fake profiles just to make it seem this app had a lot of potential matches.
All the really bad reviews here are unfair. The site is has a lot of fakes, time wasters, liars etc but there are plenty of nice genuine people too. If you have your wits about you it's easy to find what you are looking for. I have tried paid sites and they have the same issues but with much less members.
I only marked it down as the customer service aspect of the site is horrendous.
It's free. I never get responses. Most of the women are not attractive. The world is supposed to be plentiful of fish looking for a mate yet I have never found one here. Most of us will never find love in any form we try and the electronic world is no different. But I least I don't have to pay. You get what you pay for. You see what I mean?
To be honest I didn't find many of the women on the site very attractive at all. Even the ones who were okay seemed to have a terrible attitude or no personality.
All the profiles are blank or just tell you they don't like cheats and how they can't see the likes.
The funniest ones are those which tell you they're the self proclaimed banter queen yet can't even fill the about them section out.
0 stars. It leaves a lot to be desired. This isn't the way to meet your soul mate
I didn't expect much but was still extremely disappointed.
I was only looking for someone okay-looking who was a nice person. No chance. A total waste of time
POF is just full of rude, bitter, angry, aggressive, and unpleasant women who are out of shape and just look really old.
I've never seen such a bunch of misfits and attention seekers.
If, on the off chance, you do find someone half normal, keep in mind you'll be competing with 1000s of other men so it's pointless
POF is definitely not the place to go to meet a nice, well-balanced, happy woman, quite the opposite in fact
It's the bottom 20% of women demanding the top 10% of men. You don't need to be Albert Einstein to realise that's unrealistic, so little wonder it's always the same people you see on there month after month
The messages I received were from people with no social skills. I had women who claimed they were teachers message me and use text talk. They were unable to string a sentence together. The funniest one was a woman who said she was looking for a man who loved Disney. What are the chances of that?
Needless to say, I'm no longer on the site
I couldn't believe the 'quality' of women, some shocked me, some revolted me, others made me feel sad for them. Mostly though they're 55 year olds dressed up as if they're 20 again, this one old hag stated on her profile "Nothing bald and short" then I saw HER! You'd think it was princess Diana but more like Countess Dracula, total embarrassment, oh and don't forget the tattoos! Plenty of Tats would be a better title for this hideous spectacle.
If you do see someone you like they're usually 200 miles away, I believe there are some decent people on there but very few, oh and I kept getting messaged by 70 yo's! I'm 52, I'm still getting over it, AVOID guys ffs!
I was extremely disappointed in Plenty of Fish. I paid for this app yes I was so dumb. The scammers came through by the droves. First they kept asking me to get back on Whatsapp, Google Chat and my email. I quickly learned that is very common for scammers. When I felt comfortable talking we exchanged numbers texting and talking. Now I found that 4 out 5 were false identity and blocked them. The one who put it over the edge was I had texted, talked and eventually met a couple of times. After the last time we saw each other I just knew something was really off so I did my own research. This man not only went by a fake name on POF, he said he has been divorced for 5 years of which was a complete lie. Ladies he pretends to be a real cowboy and yes he is good looking. Don't fall for it! P.S. He lives in the San Bernardino mountains.
Well now I'm off POF and all dating sites. Being a widow just makes me appreciate my late husband more. Ladies be careful!
I paid for a 3 month membership hoping to see out fake profileS. Nope it didn't. So many fake profiles and I've had 2 prostitution solicitations. The site makes it impossible to communicate with anyone to file a complaint with their customer service. They don't know what that words means. Please don't give this site one penny of your hard earned money. Need more proof I've got plenty
Waste of money! Wish I would have read the reviews before signing up!
This site is horrible! It's filled with catfish and fake profiles. Not only that if you try and block someone Plenty of Fish doesn't block them and continues to show up in your feed!
Answer: Oh yes, they want you to upgrade and pay! But when you pay you will see these profiles who you liked or who liked you disappear. They were nothing but bait-and-switch. You gain nothing when you pay, it's the silliest way to spend money. Are you looking for hook up or relationship? I wanted a relationship and I was really frustrated by Pof. Eventually I found what I was looking for on https://j4l.com/402007 But I've lost nearly a year on Pof. Not to mention emotional drain and money!
Answer: I just deactivated my account. This site is a sewer. Do not pay anything for this site or any site. I searched for free on other site( even paid ones you can search for free) and I saw the same guys on most of the other sites as well. I'm gonna grow old alone unless luck steps in and maybe I'll meet my guy IRL.
Answer: Yes its possible
Answer: Delete AND contact the company. If you know who took your pictures be sure to include the name on the profile that your pictures were used on, so they can deal with that person. Once you have deleted your profile, everything is GONE. I have never had anybody use my pictures on any other sites. I'm no great beauty, that could be the reason, Still, once your profile is deleted, everything is gone.
Answer: You cannot do it from the mobile site. You need to use your search, example safari and look up pof desktop version and go to the help in the top left. It will walk you thru it, if I remember correctly. Good luck
Answer: First, write to POF and explain. Now, and I mean NOW call up your credit card company and tell them what happened. I am sure POF will not contact you. Make sure to use the word "unacceptable" when describing the consumer service to the CC company about POF. Keep all emails too. Please keep me posted. Thanks Ann B.
Answer: STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAMMING SITE! Any good you hear from or about it... DUH ITS THE SCAMMERS THAT WORK FOR EM. I been booted so many times due to unpopularity cuz i wont date trash so i get booted they keep your money they are garbage
Answer: Fake doesn't really describe them... more like downright liars!
Answer: Golden rule #1: Do onto others as you would have them do unto you Golden rule #2: Anything that sounds to good to be true, is not. Golden rule #3: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Answer: POF is not free at all, you have to upgrade; become a paying member to be able to do anything interesting.
