What was once a decent site is now 60% scammer profiles and just getting worse. Avoid, Avoid its not in any way worth paying for.
My most favorite dating website, bar none! If only due to the fact that EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY FREE! View profiles (And see who's viewed you); Add favorites; Send messages & Chat. It's all there, and it's all FREE! In my 4 years as a member of POF I've met with 20-30 different women, and dated 5. I even met my current girlfriend there soon after joining, but we didn't physically meet until months later. We've been together ever since!
A wonderful site, easy to navigate, and just fun!
I HIGHLY recommend it!

I've knocked 2 stars off of my original 5-star review, because the owner of PoF has apparently smelled MONEY and has started charging for a lot of features on the site which used to be free. You can still freely message people, and can freely read messages, but if you want to know whether someone has actually read the message that you sent you must have a paid membership. You also can no longer hide your profile unless you pay. Which makes no friggin' sense! Why would you PAY so that people can't see your profile?

Beyond sad place to actually seek out a real relationship. Full of men looking to get laid. Dont waste your time or money on this.
I would have been better of going to any other site but P. O. F they are bad lots of scammer and the support is horrible. Never again.
So far so good, met a lot of potentials on here. Not currently using the app because we are talking to some one but I would use them again.
Con's Its not what it use to be, Pros you can still find a lot of people, seems to have hardly any fake profiles at all.
I will never pay for a dating site. It's too many fake profiles and a lot of scammers. I'll take my chances outside the real word.
Like i said its DESRIMINATORY towards MEN! I can PROVE it, first takes 2 people man and woman, each set up account, let the woman go off on the man and the man DO NOT RESPOND just report the message WATCH WHAT HAPPENS UR AZZ WILL GET BOOTED SO FAST! Woman can also say what they want in headline and profile from profanity to sexual comments( which it states CLEARY youll be permenantly kicked off) if you report thier profile AGIN they will BOOT YOU MEN trust me i know my profiles have simply stated i dont date toothless users cheaters and liars well sum1 gets butt hurt and there IS NO VIOLATION in that kinda profile but as soon as a woman doesnt like your answer or you ignore her or report her YOUR DONE THIS IS A P. O. S SITE lol MEN STAY AWAY!
Cannot access account set up less than 24 hours ago. Frustrating that there is no customer support and the account may have been compromised.
I get abuse from same women every time this has to change or ill go to another website been on pof 5 year
Shockingly bad iface to register & a terribly complicated contradictory set of registration questions about you? The site is one of the most well known BUT not for the right reasons, im married getting divorced after many years to the same partner and all i wanted to do was to find friends locally to me as mine live at the other side of the country BUT NO! POF dont allow you to signup to be friends with people do they? So i had to lie on my application form which i didnt like one bit and when it came to the questions all 75 of them (Multiple choice) & here is three examples of the CROCK you have to answer:
Q 59: i cant get to know everything about a love intrest fast enough?
Q 69: i am drawn to other for their strenghs especially the ones i dont have?
Q 72: few people love me other than those i know online.
Seriously DONT use the site more so now they are charging...(How dare they) there has been so many relationships ended from the site people arguing people falling out abuse... the list is endless... If you want to find a partner LOOK closer to home... start by going out and really meeting people actually in person... Hope this helps.
They will delete your profile for any number of 10 reasons without giving any warnings. If you accidently type a word like "sex" in a initial email message to another person on the site. You will be deleted and never given a reason or warning. Recently, I was viewing a womans profile and she listed 7 reasons that status terms really mean sex. E.g.(Hangout partner=Sex and buying dinner, or Serious relationship=Sex and no buying dinners) and so I wrote this woman and mentioned her profile comments on sex and statuses. The next morning my profile is completely removed from POF... is a rude and nazi type controling company with only intetest in their money whore operations. No sensitivity for peoples feelings. They hurt not only the person that violates their over bearing rules, but they hurt the woman I emailed. I'm sure she wanted to message me back, but can not do... I'm deleted and again... you are never sent a reason or a warning. POF seems like a Canadian scam operation. Imagine people who pay a yearly subscription to them... are they deleted as readily as well. Total loss of their purchase?! POF claims to be a respectable company. That is furest from the truth. I only hope Karma gets this Marcus guy soon, so I can revel in his well deserved misery.
Marcus remember money whores are not allowed in heaven. Guess where you will be when you die? LOSER!
I don't know why guys feel the need to do this, but pof don't allow it
However, women may share private images.
This site is one that works if you are prepared to sort the wheat from the chaff. A lot of dross on here, but hey it's free - in the most part.
Don't bother with it I lost just 3 months subscription. This is the worst web site I have ever been on
Just treat this site for what it is -a joke
I would sum it up, very average women who are very picky
I did speak to a few but they had the personality of a snail and I only got one word answers, not very intelligent at all. Another one told me she had hundreds of messages and had been on loads of dates but no joy (the women must see it like a conveyor belt of men and they wont rest until they find their perfect man) so you already competing against thousands of men,
A lot of the women use text speak and swear in their profiles, not the type you really can see anything long term with. When you get a message back from someone who is 32 that's says "I am good wbu wuu2?" then you know its a sewer
It did make me smile, I was on it a few years ago 2012 and It didn't take me long to see old faces with the exact same pictures! I had to chuckle when one overweight woman who was 5'4 said in her headline Only guys 6'2 or over. The entitlement/pickiness is laughable and no way would they dare have the brass neck to act like such a diva off the computer when they would get ignored by 99.99 of the guys
Oh if you do join get ready for a ton of meet me from fake profiles who only want you to click on some dodgy adult site
To sum up
Too many thick women, too many picky women, too many illiterate women, too many women with issues and too many women who are social misfits. Apart from that I higly recommend
This site is used only for one night stands by men who are members for years and decades. Be careful ladies!
Don't fall for this hook, line, and sinker! Yes, it's me again. I'm well known by now as someone who was robbed by one of these sites. The main thing that they all have in common is that your credit card information is what they're after. Most of that is going offshore somewhere, and in many cases, overseas. Mine was going to Cyprus. Once your trial membership times out, they'll auto-upgrade you to a full paid account without you knowing it. Then they register you for other scam sites and start charging your credit card for them. Fake profiles. Fake pictures. Mostly stolen from Facebook, Tumbler, or porn websites. They suspend or keep womens' memberships pending and allow men to try and contact the fakes. Someone from the site then contacts you with a fake message. Before I could stop them, they were charging me for 3 different sites! Over 150$ in registration charges! Had to cancel my credit card and close my checking account to get rid of them and good luck with trying to get a refund from them. All because I didn't do my homework and READ THESE REVIEWS! This is where you, the reader comes in. Always do your homework before joining any of these sites. If you smell scam, it probably is one. Most people won't admit to being robbed by one of these sites because let's face it, it's like robbing a drug dealer. Who's going to admit to being taken while looking for a cheating wife? Read more about the Ashley Madison hack. There were supposedly only a few real women on the site and thousands of men. That should tell you everything you need to know. Is this site a scam? Keep your pants up and both eyes on your wallet. USE CAUTION ON ALL THESE SITES!
Just like Chris I have had 3 of my profile deleted without any explanation. Tried to contact car at pof terrible service. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND POF TO A DOG.
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 it is if it's anything like my phone having the app sometimes shows that you're online all the time
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.
