Mclbody001 / mclbody or also known as George Cascone is a pathological liar and a cheat! I've just found out that he is on POF looking for sex. His profile says that he is not using drugs and that is not true! He gets high and he is abusive. He's a player and the biggest liar that I have ever met. He's been with me for 3 years and I just found out that he is sleeping with other women from POF. Scared to death that he's not disease free... I'm headed to get tested ASAP. He always told me how busy he was and it was all a cover for the other women in his life! Definitely a first class member in the "dirty $#*! club"! Vandergrift, Cheswick, Pittsburgh, Cranberry

I thankfully only wasted two months on this Horrific site. I had never tried online
Prior to this. RUN Ladies RUN! Bunch of FAKE profiles. Last man I spoke to
Seemed Genuine. He was a Foreign Scammer. Saw many Men use this BOGUS
Profile: I am a WIDOW, Wife died of brain cancer. Yada, Yada come on. Felt like
They are exactly like IRS scammers whom call you to tell you to pay back taxes or you will be arrested. This Jackass asked me for 48k. This guy total joke! Did meet one decent man, told me after we met he prefers Asian woman. I am educated, attractive; Tall, Athletic Caucasian. Do NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

A lot of men on this site are ex cons, sex driven, have financial, physical and mental issues. They date multiple women and are quick to move on to the next one. No long term potential

POF is a poorly designed website that is interested in having you pay more, but get less. The various upgrades don't give you anything that is useful. For example, I would like to eliminate the men I have reviewed and am not interested in. But even if you eliminate them in one area of the site, they still appear in other areas. So you are continually confronted with people you simply don't want to see--and are repeatedly asked, in the meetme section, "do you want to meet him"? And have to again eliminate that person. And next day, there he is again in the meetme section: "do you want to meet him"?

As well, POF does falsely bill. I have had that happen to me. When I told them to correct their error they said it would take up to 10 days to do so (it took 2 seconds to make the billing). To date, 14 days after the error was made, POF has yet to respond to repeated email demands to refund my money. Now I will have to call VISA and get the charge reversed.

I have 60 days of an upgraded membership, but I would not say that I have seen anyone new after the first several days. Upgrading did nothing for me.

Joined POF to help me write an article about online dating sites and apps available. The fake accounts are prevalent but that's not the real issue. If you displease a premium account, yours will be blocked. If you don't answer a premium account, you will be reported and blocked. There is no customer service. There is no explanation. "Your account is blocked because we said so". I made 12 accounts to test. Four of them still remain active because I am "nice" to any premium account that messages. The other 8 are blocked the moment I disagree with a premium accounts' view on women and how they are to be treated. The verbal abuse premium accounts allow themselves is staggering. Nothing happens if they are reported. I was subjected to gruesome role play requests, a frightening number of pain related questions and a lot worse! A lot of the suggestions made by POF premium accounts were not even legal and can be viewed as an assault. POF doesn't care. I have reported premium accounts numerous times. They are sill active. Other similar sites are bad and favor their premium accounts but POF is frightening.

I've read many reviews that are against POF and I concur with most but I'll reflect on that later. Firstly, I want to reply to one statement about the same photo appearing on ChristianMingle (etc.) and POF. This is typical. Most people are on more than once site at one time and usually favor a picture or two which they normally use (among extra pictures). The bone I'd like to pick is that POF removed accessibility to my profile (After I wrote them they replied that my profile was 'DELETED' for one or many reasons). However, it seems that my profile has resurfaced. I am, however, 'BLOCK' me from logging in to reply to responses and/or even login to view the such concerned profiles (perhaps POF has my IP address blocked?). Regardless, I cannot delete my profile for the life of me (this could cause problems if/when in a relationship). They have taken up ownership of my profile and pictures. I'd like to perform a class action suit against them because they are using my profile and pictures for their better gains while locking me out (I feel violated). The more members they have, they more marketing contracts -- which spells $$$. They may not like you but they WILL use your pictures -- especially if they are professional pictures (not fakes). I read a review where a guy said he sees and responds to many profiles with beautiful females but never hears back from them. Oddly enough I had the same experience on this and other sites. What explains it is what happened to me... most of these people are either banned and/or moved on with their lives YET cannot delete their profiles.

I was deleted after a week for no reason at all. I had no nude pics and never said anything bad to anyone. From what i heard this happens to people all the time. Stay clear of that garbage site!

The people on this site are either fishing for a quick hook up or they want to be permanent penpals. To make matters worse, they WILL NOT LET YOU LEAVE. I should have believed the reviews I saw on multiple sites of people with this experience. When I tried to remove my profile I was blocked from the site, and told my email address and user name do not exist. THIS SITE IS A SHAM.

I was on POF for years, on and off. Met my fair share of guys. Most were awful, but I never gave up! I met my very best male friend on POF! Even though nothing ever happened romantically between us, we have an incredible friendship! I thought I was lucky to find such an incredible friendship, especially on POF!... Cut to years later, I sent a guy a message. His profile matched what I was looking for and we started talking. Not too long after that, we met in person. It was pretty much love at first site and I was definitely swept off my feet. We have been together just over a year now and I can't imagine my life without him. We are to be married in August 2017. Never in my life did I think I'd find my husband online, let alone on POF. I'm extremely glad that I stuck with it and gave POF one more chance when I just wanted to delete my profile. I have never been happy. It's all because of POF that I met and fell in love with my husband to be! If you're thinking about giving up, don't. Even just one more chance on POF is all you may need to fall in love like we did.

I tried the site with a 3 month trial. Just discovered today they automatically charged me for a renewal I did not ask for. Going back over the upgrade email it does say they will automatically renew but that part is conveniently off to the right of the email so it doesn't show up to notify you of the sneaky practice. I have sent an email to this company with the information they requested for a refund but they have not responded. Cant leave a message as their complaint/refund voice box is full. I have been forced to file a dispute for the charges on my Visa card through my account with them. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CARD NUMBER ONLINE. ITS A TRAP! GO BACK...

A great, free dating site. I have heard from lady friends who said that guys send them messages to hook up for sex instead of for a date but you'll have that. Just use caution.

Ladies beware of a flairjess, 25 years old in Flossmoor on POF. He is on there preying on women for sex. He pretends to be a nice guy just to earn a person's trust. Then he uses them for sex. Once he gets sex enough times, he starts playing the hot and cold game, and eventually he doesn't want to be bothered. He doesn't want a relationship. He also degrades women. He disrespects women on social media also.

Fake, the other half are low class munters obsessed with dogs and tattoos. Photos of the they own are on most pics and they love to show the tattoos they have. I got bored of reading if you don't love dogs don't message and I have 8 tattoos and plan to have more. You can't buy class

Not sure why people are complaining about getting scammed after paying money. You seriously think you'd have more chance if you upgraded? It's full of the most undateable women I have ever come across in my entire life

Low class women calling themselves princesses demanding stupidity high standards from a guy when they are undateable is the logic you find on pof

The women on pof must think it's Christmas come early because if not for this site they wouldn't get any male attention judging by the looks and attitude of them.

Plenty of munters pouting and gurning
No thank you

JUST RUBBISH

I used Plenty of Fish for a couple of months - back in 2018 - my view is that its actually pretty good -
I got a few dates on it, and although there are a few doubters - I did well -
I recommend NOT paying for it ( you don't need to) and just give pleasant replies / messages -
And see what happens - frankly there are far worse out there!
