How on earth can this site average 3 stars?

From what i can see it's full of
Overweight women
Single mums who put mum down as a job. Can you imagine if a guy put no job?
Women with issues
Men haters
Immature childish women
Rude women
Women that think they're hot when they're nothing of the sort
Very very picky women. Want more than they're offering

Doesn't take genius to work out probably 30x more men that women on here so that makes the women worse

All you people moaning your account disappeared should be grateful. It's a website full of dysfunctionally challenged rude obnoxious stuck up rude unpleasant attention seekers

One final thing lots of women keep saying they're back again. How hard can it be to find a decent guy when they must get 100s messages a day no matter what they look like and unpleasant they are

This isn't the way to meet a decent woman

Be careful please on this man Patrick Gallot from Haguenau, near Strasbourg. He says he is a widower with 2 children and wants to look forward for a true relationship. After a few days of knowledge he shows excessive interest and expressed himself with too sentimental words. Before the meeting he writes saying of being in Africa (in my case), with an urgent need of money because he needs to eat and pay in cash the hostel where he is located. Obviously he is a SCAMMER!

This site is described as a free site, however, having signed up I find I can't do anything without first paying. Now I am not stupid, I didn't believe the free bit, but I did at least expect to be able to review profiles before paying, but apparently that is not the case. I received nine responses in the first 24 hours with potential suitors but wonder how genuine they are. I can see them before paying. The 'FREE' bit is at best very misleading.

I have been a user of this website for over 5 years. 5 years ago I met someone and stayed in a relationship with them for over 4 years however I left my account active stating I was in a relationship and now just looking for friends.

Having split recently with my ex girlfriend I decided to change my account status and started talking to people once again. However after a short while I was deleted, with no reason and no notification.

I have since signed up numerous times to the website as I felt this may have just been in error however this does not seem to be the case as the website continued to delete my account. I contact POF about this on numerous occasions with very minimal response. The only time their reply felt positive was when they said I should be able to sign up again as the issue has been fixed, however when I did, with 4 hours I was deleted again.

I signed up one last time after staying off the site for about a month, this time I had more success. I spent 6 days signed up before it randomly deleted me again. I find this system to be extremely rude to not only me but to the people who I was talking to as I can no longer continue the conversations with them.

I would like to also say that the support I have received from POF CSR in the recent weeks has been appalling and my queries have not been returned and my issues are unresolved.

I find it also very Ironic that the system deletes genuine people who are single and want to meet other people, however it does not investigate or deal with accounts of people who are currently in a relationship and are falsifying this information on their profiles by stating they are single and still looking.

As a user of the website for over 5 years, I am shocked and appalled that they deal with their users in this way and the reviews on various websites concur with my opinion as there are many other people who stress the same feelings as I do.

5 years ago this website seemed to care for it's users and used to be helpful in assisting people to find friendships and relationships with people who otherwise would possibly never meet. Now this website is sexist and has sheer disregard and disrespect for it's users.

I urge people that if they wish to find companionship, friendship, relationships or any other form of ship that they look elsewhere and not on this website because for Males, we are deleted without cause and are not respected as a user when speaking with their customer service team and Females who are signed up are harassed with sexual comments from some real and but primarily fake accounts.

Think carefully before you sign up to this website.

Should be called Plenty of Attitude or Plenty of Drama
They say they want a genuine guy but they don't say unless you're smoking hot you won't get a reply. Lots of them call themselves Princess which is a laugh. Post photos in bikinis and then complain about the messages they get. Most can't be bothered to even fill the profile in just telling you to ask. Think most on here to find the impossible dream
Rest just want drama and attention. The attitude they have would be enough to scare any half decent guy away. Why would i want to message someine who sounds so unpleasant and demanding? I guess some must. Obv way too many men on here. Needs to level out men V women then see how far the rude attitude drama queen routine would get them

You get lots of free features and the user base is huge. But beware of scammers, people posting as attractive women who want your mail address. It seems like there are more of those scammers than on other good dating sites.

Conclusion: Good dating option, nice features but also a lot of scammers who try to take advantage of you. It is worth a try though if you haven't been lucky on Mingle2day, Match or other good dating sites.

Dated this man on and off. His name is Roger. He wants to dominate you, yell at you, and sleep with you and he will tell you and show you paperwork that he is clean but it is outdated. The fact of the matter is he has a different girl for each day of the week. He says he only sleeps with you but that is the furthest thing from the truth. He continually accuses you of sleeping with other men and is very a ggressive to the point of being scary. He is 6'2"tall and muscular so to say the least he is very intimidating. He drinks like a fish. Drinks at 5am before going to work even. Simply cannot function without alcohol. I guess they are called functioning Alcoholics. Quite simply he is a sex addict that has anger issues, and has no intention of settling down. He has no license and no car and isn't going to have one any time soon due to court holding on to that stuff for alcohol related issues.
He has the mentality of an 18 year old boy and he is about to be 48. He has credit issues so that house he is talking about is a joke.
He has tried to jump out of my car while I was drinking on four occasions. He has has me meet him at his house and wait for him outside as I watched another woman leave before he came out. He is the most disrespectful man I have ever encountered in my life and I'm just trying to save you girls out there the trouble. Oh, and sex, less than adequate. Js.

Full of single mothers, divorced women and mediocre women looking for attention with no intention of meeting up.
Expectations ridiculously high - unemployed or menial type job, several children to different fathers (and still under 30) and they are they demand that you have a millionaire lifestyle.
Also full of girls looking for sex but say they're not and want you to be a "gentleman".
So if you're just a normal, no totally sleazy guy you meet them and are respectful but fun etc they tell you you're "too nice" because you haven't tried to bang them in a toilet.
A tip: If you want sex just be honest - don't tell guys you want Prince Charming then tell him to jog on when he behaves like that.
A lot of confused women out there.
Met a girl on the site, spoke for a month arranged a date, date went great, had a second coffee date then she came and stayed for the weekend. Told me how she met a guy on a Tinder date and let him do her up the $#*! on the first date
Never put out with me. Weird weird weird.
I would only use this in conjunction with real world dating because 95% of them are at it.
Finally unless you are super lonely and desperate don't go near any female with kids - they are after casual sex (even though they might not admit it) or someone to be a father figure.
If its a half-decent looking girl - establish the sexual parameters early on or they will ditch you and look for a another guy because you've been too nice.

I've been on a few dating sites now eHarmony, Match.com and Guardian Soulmates and gravitated towards POF after seeing frequent recommendations from others online. The site itself is simple and straightforward enough to use. It could do with a few functional improvements but as dating sites go, it does what it says on the tin and in its free option, there are enough vital functions to help you get by. However, the troubling things I've found are the user base quality and, now I've read a few reviews here and joined some dots, some of the site's practices.

I tend to get strange one-line messages from people who are at least 10 years younger than me, even though that's not what I put in my search/match criteria. The people that apparently want to 'Meet Me' are, again, not within my search criteria [there was even somebody 20 years my senior in there]. On top of that, there was one man (with the ability to write more than three words) who messaged me and sounded genuinely interested to meet my acquaintance. After two instances of exchanging polite get-to-know-you messages, 'he' blocked me out of the blue. I considered that discourteous and strange, of course, but it's only after having now read from others here that POF surreptitiously obstructs user communication that it makes sense. It makes me wonder, though, why it bothers doing that.

Either way, my experience so far of POF has been somewhat dodgy but I'll persevere for another few months and see if things improve. If not, I'll flush out my profile and delete my account.

I've tried many of them eharmony, match, and POF with varying degrees of success. Thankfully there weren't any safety issues but some of the dates just didn't work out. That's just the way it goes. With POF, I actually met someone who I married almost 2 years ago. Again my expectation was quite low, but for being a free site I figured I had nothing to lose and also knowing how to be safe when meeting someone for the first time was something I was well versed in. Thankfully the guy I met who is my husband turned out to be an amazing person who I eventually fell in love with although it wasn't until a few dates in that I let him know my actual address. Its a mixed bag with dating sites but my best advice is to follow your gut, if its giving you concern then walk away.
