Plenty of Fish

I was going to join But after reading the pathetic accounts from folk I cannot afford to waste money!
Its all the same bogus men and women. People who have seemingly been around for ages. So they are not getting my monies after all.
Yes i am lonely and an older lady wanting to find a soul mate!
Why are there not decent sites offering decent rates plus real people?
Its all hinges on your feelings and if you believe. I dot think it happens its a sham..

Guys looking for sexual hookups - most are walking std carriers and assume that a condom will safeguard them against everything.

Those seeking sexual hookups need to stick to Craigslist and stop overloading the site with their quantity.

Tons of old, worn down guys looking for younger women (we don't want you), guys that resemble serial killers, married men/cheaters, swingers and other undesirable characters on there

What is with women on this site. They all covered in tattoos and proud of it. They even put it down as a hobby! Nothing says class like pics of an overweight woman proudly showing off her tattoos for all the world to see

They also seem to love putting photos up of the 4 cats and 3 dogs they own but what that has to do with anything I've no idea. All that does it make me think how bad the house must smell

That's like me putting my car up or my running shoes. Totally pointless. Love me love my dog is what I saw a lot in profiles. Nonsensical babble

They all put they have the most amazing friends an amazing job and just missing the final piece of the puzzle and love to brag how independent they are (which explains why they're single)

Just low class mostly average looking women all looking for a man way out their league.

Still at least they'll have their pets in old age when they're still single demanding Mr Perfect

Here's how it works:

1) You create a profile on the site.

2) The very instant you click the submit button (even if you did not post a photo or any detail) you have emails in your inbox of people "interested" in you. It's typical for these "people" (fake "robots") to be in their 20's while their profiles reflect 50's or so.

3) This automatic system that sends you fake profiles can be nothing BUT an inside job; in other words, the site is programmed to work this way.

The POF site is not founded on integrity whatsoever.

Authorities should really investigate this online scam.

First, this company is one of many owned by Match Corporation. I've used several of their sites and they really do make the consumer feel stuck in a bizarre maze of money games. Their products are visual nightmares, pointless trash bins full of manipulative money-grabbing, and humiliating and frustrating for the users. Whether they gain access to a computer's or phone's camera to confirm a selfie or not, this doesn't change the underlying goal of Match Corporation and that it really is more a money scam than anything, because - of course - they'll go bankrupt if the site employs honestly helpful functionality. Also, a confirmed photo isn't going to make a profile genuine and honest.

Actually out of all the free sites, I invariably had the most success there. Awesome for hooking up. Without sounding like a total pig, I think I banged at least five girls within the first two dates on this site. Seriously.

Probably the worst dating website I've ever used. I'm convinced more than half of these profiles are fake. I'm no Channing Tatum, but I'm no slacker either... I've gotten one too many "unread-deleted" responses from profiles that have been on this site FOREVER to not be suspicious. Not to mention the way they set up their recurring payment. Hmmm, when it sounds too good to be true, it normally is... and such is the case with POF.

The women on here are up their own $#*! and so far have all either been time wasters or turned out to have a boyfriend. Also the majority of them have serious mental issues which prevent a relationship from ever happening. Guys don't waste your time.

I will not recommend POF to anyone else. My story is same here. Create an account and few hours later got deleted. No notice of any reason. There is no one you can call to get support. Only email support and no response.
I understand the site has to do their best defend from scam. However, that company need to be fair do male user by give them detailed information on why. Also allow us to defend ourselves.
I really have no idea why my account was deleted. That is really bad business practice.

I was on pof a few times and I met some disgusting creatures they were hardly human these women were nasty fat pigs with atrocious personalities one of them wanted me to buy her an engagement ring after about 3 months. And the last time I tried to sign up my account was deleted after I sent one or 2 emails that just said "hello". Dont waste your time you will meet a loser and regret it. Also if you send out 100 emails to 100 different girls dont expect a single one to reply. If they do reply they will chat but never meet you.

I tried this site for several months. Not worth the time, money or effort.
Many fake and outdated profiles that keep showing up.
A lot of scammers wanting business.
Too many fat women.
Also too many restrictions. The age restriction was the killer for me.
Much better sites out there.

Have no customer service - no phone, no email. Account says I am using wrong user name, password (which I'm not) but request for reset gets no response. How can a business based on internet traffic have no way of customers getting tech support. Get what you pay for - don't sign up for the upgrade!

I have encountered this site two different ways. I had an on and off boyfriend for years. One day during the time we were "on" I received a call from a girl who claimed she had been dating him for a year and they met on POF. Also that he had hit her in front of kids and threw her out in the rain. Needless to say we are permanently "off" now. Lol Fast forward two years later, I have a new boyfriend, we are relaxing on the couch and his phone is going off like crazy. I take a peek while he's checking it. He's getting messages from lo and behold POF. I guess this should let you know what type of guys are on this website.

Some of these guys are not willing to meet in a safe public place. One man immediately started asking me for sex, without even knowing my real true first name; & NOT wanting to meet me FIRST in person. Another guy requested that I immediately go to his house>& I have no clue at all what this jerk is truly like in person, & for real or in reality!>to me that is very CREEPY as hell. Another guy posted a pic that was at least 20 to 25 years old minimum. I have been so disappointed by online dating!:-( To me, online dating does seem to be full of "not worth it men" unfortunately for us women.:-(

These people must be really stupid because they keep the same pattern. Born in another country, parent died, someone moved them to US, got advanced degree while in US, doing very well (one even said that he was paid in gold), have wonderful family, moving to state of the person to whom they're sending the message in 2 months (literally the same number of months) horrible grammar, want your phone number immediately because they're so in love with you, and on and on and on. Of course, they always have a wonderfully handsome picture. I deleted my profile.

Plenty of fish has been part of my single routine more than one go around Until Feb 15,2020 I received a message from a no pic profile after the worst valentines day ever. Tired of being lonely, tired of dating liars, not wanting to give up. That innocent conversation lead me through the murky waters of the pond of POF I had found my now husband! Married Feb 14 2021!
I love him more than anything in the world! He loves me just the same!

Thank you POF!

Fake profiles, mail messaging problems, support problems, delays and glitches in page changes, support does not respond, don't pay them money,,, you will be sorry... they should be class action sued for breach of contract...

They have seemingly clear terms of service as to what is prohibited, such as posting of nudity. I did not violate any of the terms of service set forth by them but apparently I violated some undocumented parameter - they simply deleted my account without warning or explanation and were not responsive to inquiries. As a result some hours spent there reviewing profiles and sending out messages was completely wasted. Don't waste your time.

First off I'm a non paying member. I received my fair share of "Meet Up" notifications. Obviously since I haven't paid I can't see who they are. I was able to identify several of the senders on my own. Everyone one I emailed did not email me back. So one of two things is happening. Either they accidentally swiped right as wanting to meet me or the site itself is sending out the notifications. I find that most of my notifications arrive during the wee hours of the morning which I thought was a bit odd. I'm done playing with the fish and have deleted my account.

OK let's get this straight right from the start, POF is definitely not a scam site, I have used it for many years and have met some nice people and well.not so nice, it works or at least it did, I rejoined several months ago only to discover they've changed the format. So now it seems you can only send one message every 48 hours?unlike before where you had a decent message quota, I realise they want you to subscribe but It's supposed to be a free site and now it's just unusable and rubbish really
Shame

Total deadbeat, going through a divorce, only looking for a woman go help him pay his bills. Separated married to a drunk bipolar wife in a rehab center. First date insinuated that his wife is breaking their lease and he needs help paying rent at his sister's and the 1800 rent that he owes to the landlord! Ladies throw this dead fish back! Bald, fat and broke!

I just uploaded a new picture and they take it down almost nanoseconds. The picture is me I look different in every pic.

Also months ago u take down my dog pic yet I see so many woman put dog pics up.

It doesn't make sense and u pof workers should be consistent. I don't know what kind of people u hire.

I guess u get what u pay for cause it's free. Do they hire clerks who just click buttons to show there working

Trust me go to a reputable site that costs money you'll get real people who know what there doing

And that doesn't even count the issues trying to get in.

Don't waste your time lads. The women on here have elevated themselves so far above what they actually are, they think of themselves as goddesses. Problem is, in the main, they are all so bloody god damn average and not worth the effort they want you to put in. I'm off it for good. Lets find someone in real life that's not up their own a*se xxx
