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.

I have a kinda weird experience with online dating because whatever service I face, I am not able to find a good partner for myself. Due to pof, I just understood that I don't need to seek for a partner rather than just for a friend who you can talk to during the whole day. I mean, it's way cooler to have a friend who you can reach out and discuss variety of things and maybe in future I will have relationships with this person. But I ain't wanna make guesses, let it be.
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
Plenty of catfish and foreigners who can't speak English. However, even if you're not a paid subscriber you can opt in for only paid subscribers. The site also provides an option for voice calls through the app. I'm going to try the site out for a month or so, then may upgrade to being a paid subscriber. POF has really improved its website since I was on it a year ago. Have fun and meet someone!
Plenty of Fish (POF) uses premium features that are not advertised on their website. Not until you become a paid subscriber that POF uses pop up messages to inform you that you can Boost your profile; utilize First contact; add Super Likes which all come at a price. I suspect POF throttles down my queries to only a limited search each time I log on. When I added premium features, the flood gates opened and I received profile visits, messages for a limited time. Without premium features, POF is a slow-moving website. Women can sign on for free.
Tip for consumers:
POF is not transparent in their advertising and marketing policies. They hide additional features from the public and these features come at a cost. In order to obtain traffic such as views to your profile, messages and likes - you must use the premium features.
Products used:
POF will not refund your money after 3 days.

The website should be named plenty of single moms who love tattoos and behave in a very unladylike manner.
Or plenty of single moms who love to tell you they can't see likes and expect the man of their dreams, even though they're the stuff of nightmares.
There's no originality, and boy do they love to tell you how they can't see likes. If it's that much of an issue, why don't they pay?
Full of complaints delusion and drama. Not recommended
Tip for consumers:
Good luck finding anyone that isn't angry and bitter
They've never heard the saying you catch more flies with honey than vinegar
I had tried the Plenty Of Fish dating site, and it is a very poorly run site. They have alleged standards for what people are allowed to post on their website. As a member you are allowed to report profiles that violate the pof rules. For example, you are not allowed to post pictures of you in your underwear. Numerous people had posted such pictures, and so I used the reporting feature to let pof know of those violations. There were also couples with profiles on pof seeking adult themed things such as threesomes, and sex with guys with a large male organ while being watched. There were also members who put links in their profile for guys to go to sex websites. So I let pof know of those kinds of profiles. POF decided to delete my profile. My profile contained no offensive pictures, or offensive language. I never sent offensive emails either. Whoever is in charge of POF's quality control does a very poor job. POF is a terrible site, and would not classify it as a dating site.
My fellow men have ruined this site with their desperation and neediness to find a woman. Messaging every woman they see has rendered it a waste of time. They're so desperate for any woman that they bombard all the women no matter how hideous they are. That's why the women make no effort to be nice or ever message first.
That's why you see these below average women being really picky. They're mostly weird misfits with baggage. They're overweight yet use 'curvy' or 'plus size'. They're messed up yet use the phrase 'hard work ' yet expect someone tall dark and handsome.
Only good if you want to meet a woman that is truly hideous inside and out
**Don't waste your time**
The women don't even try to be nice. They go out of their way to be rude and unpleasant making lots of demands. This would be bad enough if they were good looking but they're all unattractive and unpleasant which makes it embarrassing. Why would I want to message anyone like that?
Laugh at loud at them all saying how there must be a spark or they won't reply. No self awareness at all
Also lots of profiles haven't even been filled out, why would I message someone if I don't know anything about them? Imagine thinking that putting "just ask" in every box is a good thing
It's a just conveyor belt of unmarried mother's who want to settle down now they've got multiple children with another man. They all say they can't see likes and their children will always come first. There's no originality on show, all the profiles are exactly alike. What a sad state of affairs
They are mostly out of shape, unattractive and unpleasant yet have ridiculously high standards when it comes to finding the man they want. They all want Mr Right /a spark/connection/Someone tall and good looking
It never occurs to them that Mr Right wouldn't want to date someone who has nothing to offer but baggage and attitude.
POF is toxic, you'd be better looking offline to find a decent woman. They don't exist online
Tip for consumers:
This site is proof that men will sleep with anything. Just look at the quality of the women who have children
Full of leftover brats with headlines of:
"Can't see likes message me"
"Could you be the one"
"Looking for me?"
"Send me a message I don't bite"
"Tall tatts and beards this way"
To name a few
A lot of the worst looking ones have message preferences on. They Should be happy to get any messages
Seen one profile of a very overweight woman who demanded a man be tall dark and handsome with a beard and tattoos and then it said "I'm no skinny girl or clear skinned so if that's not what your after jog on". You'd think if they have to type what mr perfect gets in return you'd realise you're being too picky but theyre so thick it doesn't cross their tiny minds.
Was last on here in 2019 and
5 minutes hadnt past where I kept seeing the same women on there from back then with the same smug photos up.
No man wants to date them that's why they are still on there
Very obvious they watch too much tv
Sums the site up
I will never use this dating site again EVER! It is full of drama, creepy people who have issues, lovebomb you when they haven't even met you, say they want to help you, but make you feel uncomfortable UM NO! Im shy, quiet, and will stay that way thanks to this creepy website of people who call or text you from 1-4am. Ill die single and alone thank you or have issues like not divorced even a year, put down their ex, and are barely sober from alcoholism. Um no thanks POF such be called Plenty of Losers!
I have been on/off POF for four years now and it is the worst! No one wants a serious relationship and its full of men who want to have a hookup, are unemployed, disabled, addicts, toxic kids, Exs, you name it and its full of scammers who claim to be one place only to be in Texas or Africa. Not a good site at all its worse than a bar and its full of creepy people who could be in prison or group state funded homes. I havent met one relationship or the men look worse or old enough to be my dad. No thanks they are the worst dating site Ill stay alone!
POF will randomly lock you out of your account and not notify you when or why they did it.
They will not respond to any request for support, leaving your personal info and status unknown to the user.
Pof is just full of single moms who all can't wait to tell you their children will always come first, but they expect you to make them your top priority and be happy to settle down with another man's children. If the children are that important why aren't they still with the father?
There are Lots of people who can't be bothered to say anything, apart from how they can't see likes or how time wasters need to keep away.
I don't want to give it even one star. It's full of dreadfully classless people
App deleted
Tip for consumers:
Full of forty something women who still think they are twenty one all saying they want prince charming to rescue them
The females on POF all seem to believe they are princesses. They will only reply if you have the 6/6/6. Six figures in the bank, six feet tall, and a six-pack.
The hilarious thing is that they are the exact opposite of what they demand.They're short, distinctly average,and out of shape.
They'll be on this site forever because their standards are totally unrealistic.
Tip for consumers:
Should be called Plenty Of Tattoos
I nearly fell off my chair with laughter at the entitlement in the profiles on that site
Everywhere I looked large women with even larger chips on their shoulders demanding you have to be minimum six feet tall to get a reply and if they don't reply you're just not their type hahahahahaha. I couldn't breathe with laughter
The women are so bad they should be grateful to get any interest, the fact they think they can be picky tells me all I need to know about this site. Not for me. Good for a laugh though
I met Bruno 3 years ago. He has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and narcissistic tendencies. He mentally and physically abused me and was charged with 5 counts of assault. He also verbally and sexually abused me and treated me with complete disrespect. This man is very sick and dangerous. He appears to be charming and friendly but he is not. Please ladies do not engage or get involved with this man He will hurt you and destroy you.
I added his profile picture from POF.
I met Bruno Poirier on POF(Profile name: Bestdude009) he is mentally ill - schizophrenic and bipolar. He verbally and physically abused me. Called me names such as: ugly single mother, dirty whore, nasty slut, $#*!, loser... he also physically hit me and sexually abused me. He wanted to share me with other men and do gang bang. Last time he hit me the police is now involved and he was charged with assault. Be careful of this sick man he is dangerous.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid talking to Bruno Poirier ( Profile name: LovelyFrench) he is very sick and dangerous.
If you're a three out of ten you should go for the same in a partner or maybe a bit higher at the most
The problem is on the pof the women who are 3s and 4s all expect to get a man who is a nine or a ten. It's absolutely insanity. They don't want a good man like they claim. They demand the perfect man of the dreams
Most don't seem to have a personality either and are either unemployed or are dog walkers yet want a man with a great job and who makes them laugh.
I don't know how these websites get away with this Fakes galore One in ten profiles are real MAYBE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
I stupidly paid for a month. I'm glad it wasn't longer.
My review
I can honestly say I've never encountered so many people with issues in my life. It's just riddled with ignorant egotistical people full of their own self importance.
There are way too many messed up people on POF; it's terrible. I sent nothing but polite messages and got some of the nastiest replies I've ever seen.
Honestly, please don't waste your time. You'll be dealing with people who lack kindness and social skills. If they act this poorly online, can you imagine what they are like in real life?
I had a lucky escape.
There is a probably a nice woman on there somewhere but I didn't find her in 30 days. GL finding her
Tip for consumers:
Horrible place
Wanted M4M matches 33% of them were Female, sent snips of the profiles or':Recommended Matches, no action take and when I canceled the photos and were still there, meaning no room for new and correct matches.I also cancelled to avoid a renewal and the remaining month of access was also cancelled. I feel taken and wonder if there wasn't a homophobic aspect to this. My headline was specific and stated that while I respect everyone's' right to have their life as they need, I only wanted CIS (M4M) matches. Very very disappointing experience and customer service experience.
POF should not be in business because they do not watch who is on their profiles. Nothing but women who solicit prostitution for money.
My experience with POF has been nothing but a nightmare and headache not worth the hassle or your money
All the girls on here are asking for money in return for nude pictures in sex on the phone. You will never meet a decent female on this site. I recommend you don't waste your money unless you want to pay for prostitution.
Tip for consumers:
I can’t believe how many women want phone sex for money.or sex for money
POF is a great example of the quality of person you get on a free dating site.
Most of who can't even be bothered to fill out their profile properly and just whine that they can't see likes. Why on earth would I be interested in someone who is too lazy too fill a bio out?
I would say 90% of the site's users are unmarried mothers
Other traits include being unhealthy, covered in tattoos, having bad teeth, a lack of humour, and a lack of class. You are dealing with terrible people who bizarrely act like they're Cindy Crawford in her prime! The entitlement and delusion is hilarious
If that's not bad enough, they all expect to find someone 6 feet tall and with no baggage!
I have noticed that 90% of the men on POF is 50 years old, come on men put your current age you will stand a better chance of finding someone, be honest some looks like great grandfathers but they are 50. This site is very disappointing looking at all those exposed tattoos and shirtless men. Ladies you can do better I came on this site to see what was available but to my surprise there was nothing. This site is like a box of chocolate, you never know what's inside. Good luck ladies.

Corporate fat fuks of the 21st century. Money grubbing 2 year old reetards behind the wheel. Used to be able to message anyone you want and were able to see if your messages were read. Now it's only limited to once per day to message somebody. Who the fuk was drunk to come up with this hazardous idea?
Everyday I got "want to meet you" notifications, I would break the ice and send a message that never gets read or answered, then I noticed by checking the women's profile, that they had not even viewed my profile,but "want to me me"...
Same thing with likes, everyday, "viewed and liked", I would send a message, it never gets answered.
Then there are the pictures of women, same picture, but different profile names, different "intents", different ages, different cities.
POF is garbage, try it if you do not believe me, you will after a few days or couple of weeks.
Do not waste your time or money on this site.
I've absolutely no idea what the men are like but the vast majority of women are out of shape and look at least twenty years older than what they claim to be (and that's being polite).
Underwhelming and depressing were my immediate thoughts of this unfriendly dump.
There are also an incredible amount of fake profiles which seem to overwhelm the people moderating the site.
This site is free but you get what you pay for in life
Tip for consumers:
It's full of people who look like they're extras from the movie Deliverance
