Plenty of brats
February 14, 2018

Hahaha who gave this site 3**?

Been on the site twice & won't be going back for number 3 That's for sure

Seems very small pool of women and a huge pool of men which obv makes the females very picky with a huge chip on the shoulders. It's like they think ooh I can reject all these decent men as they will be hundreds more coming. They tell you to message them and then ignore you
They all searching for some one from the movies who can take care of them financially. They don't even come across as nice people. First impressions count and majority of these lot come across badly. Their profiles all full of negativity and no positivity

Lots of them have long lists of what they like & dislike. Their attitude stinks & they need taking taking a peg or two. Would be great if men stopped messaging them & they had to do the chasing instead
Im sure there are some sleazy guys on here but they can't all be bad but the women on here stay on here for years it seems holding out for #1 hot model. Holding out for the 10* star guy. It ain't happening but they are too dumb to realise it. These women aren't even close to the playboy bunnies they think they are. If 95% of them walked past you in the street you wouldn't give them a 2nd look

I wish I could rate this site a zero. Please be warned that Plenty of Fish dating website has 57% Scammers, rapists, murderers and extremely mentally disturbed people on the site. This is research that was done using police records. And this percentage is really a low number because some police agencies did not allowed the researchers access to their records. I have recently put up a profile on Plenty of Fish and the only response I have gotten so far is Scammers trying to fish my personal information out of me or trying immediately to get my private email and phone number to communicate with them. I did my research on the " The romance scams ". So I was knowledgeable as to what to look for. I also made the mistake last year when I was on a Christian dating site, and gave out my personal phone number. The Scammer to this day still text me trying to establish communication with me. I simply never reply or answer my phone from a questionable number.

The warning signs to look for is when there is a big age gap. Or the profile is of white male in the United States but if you can actually talk to the Scammer he has a heavy African accent and the voice don't match the picture. Also some of these scammers can't write English well. Also they will profess love to you right away. The Scammers target older lonely people. But younger people have been scam too.

Don't believe the pictures you see on the fake profiles because chances are innocent people pictures have been hijacked and used in the fake profiles.

Please do your research for online dating scams and armed yourself with knowledge.
Or else you might be headed for plenty of trouble.

POF has the fakest people on it's site ever! I was on there eight days and never met a single person, not sure I'd want to with the sleazebags on there, there were exactly three people on there I was maybe interested in meeting, the rest were horrible, but none had any intention of meeting, just phishing and trolling, (not why I joined), the men on there were not anyone you'd want to meet; sooo gross! The people on there also like to get your phone number: IMMEDIATELY, also for phishing.

Be careful ladies
January 12, 2015

Be careful ladies. 1/3 of the men on that site are scam artists. They post these fake nice looking photos and write you all the things that they think you want to hear. Half of them say they travel the world for a living, are engineers, trade in gold, widowers ( to get your sympathy), profess to be honest and want you as their last and only love. They don't call and only text. Usually they only have Google Voice. IF they write you a letter, it sound very different from the way we write but they lie and say they are European etc. You see few photos posted and they are posed. (EXAMPLE of error in writing) Instead of saying" because I like that", they use a small I and say " cause i like that". They are full of crap and try to get you to side line email or chat on IM yahoo. IF your close to meeting, they want money for some fake emergency and want it sent to Nigeria. NEVER GIVE ANYONE MONEY, ACCOUNT INFORMATION OR PERSONAL DATA. THEY ARE SNEAKY AND ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ROMANCE. WHEN YOU TELL EVOW ABOUT IT, THEY NEVER THROW THEM OFF THE SITE. ALSO EVOW WILL ALSO ALOW MEN TO SEND FILTHY MESSAGES AND NEVER TAKE THEIR PROFILES DOWN. EVow could care less and only wants money. I have been so lucky to never have given them a dime.

Let's call it how it is
Full of women who are about 360lb have 5 children all out of wedlock, 8 tattoos and are about a 2/10.
Problem is they all think they're a 9 or 10/10 and have lost touch with reality since they went online. This behavior wouldn't be tolerated offline

They make zero effort to be friendly or kind in their bio and either tell you to ASK them or just list a lot of unrealistic demands in their profile

You have ZERO chance of meeting even a half decent woman. They're all bitter damaged and unpleasant who spend all their time saying they can't see likes. You would think in their late 30s 40s they would know better,, apparently not. They want everything and offer nothing

I recommend you play pof bingo,

Can't see likes
My kids will always come first
Make me laugh
I'm independent and don't need a man
Can't see likes
I know my worth
Not prepared to settle
Photos up only of their round face
Where is my prince charming?
Did i mention they can't see likes?
Photos from 2017
Lying about their age to get a younger man

Nasty horrible women
January 28, 2018

You can't blame the site it's the content but with so many blatant fake profiles appearing it surely can't last much longer. Although I'm sure Markus has made enough money

Basically the girls on this site are the leftovers on society. They are the ones you see in a bar at closing time still on the own
They are fat (but say plus sized). They are unintelligent lack class and are just common trash
You wouldn't take any of these to meet your mum
But strangely they don't see how bad they are they actually think they're a catch LOL. Check out the usernames HOTPROPERTY. SEXIBABE4U. SMARTANDSEXY. Hahaha you have to admire the optimism of these unattractive whales.

Decent women don't need POF to find a guy.

POF requires only mobile phone verification of identity during registration. Email is NEVER verified during set up, however, when recovering an account, POF will ONLY allow email verification from an email that was NEVER verified by POF to begin with. WHAT? POF refuses to verify identity by mobile text even though that is the ONLY method that was used to verify identity at set up... They would not verify by other details either including every other detail on the account and verified photos. So essentially, because I typed my email incorrectly (A TYPO) at registration, and it was never caught because it was NEVER verified, POF refused to use any number of legitimate identity verification methods including the mobile text that was originally used. POF also refused to delete the profile stating if I gave them my username and date of last login, they could delete the profile but not verify for me that it was deleted. WHAT? "So, you will delete a profile that you supposedly cannot verify is mine, but you won't allow me to recover it?" THIS IS THE MOST ILLOGICAL SET OF POLICIES EVER! So apparently my profile is still out there forever, without my permission by the way. This has to be one of the worst companies in existence.

Do not sign up
August 24, 2021

When users are not located where they say then application is useless. I would not recommend to anyone seeking a date. Maybe a bogus text.

Ugly
March 24, 2018

Nice they ask soooo many privat questions. How many siblings i have? WHAT FOR POF? Obligatory

The search: i tryed to put my range of age, no not possible. The app doesn't allow, and the support does not answer. POF KNOWS WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU!

Messages: i got a visit and wanted to reply, but system says, you are not allowed, wrong sex or wrong age. HEY POF, WHY HAVE I TO SEE SOMETHING I AM NOT ALLOWED TO ANSWER?

Most of the profiles look like scam or at least fake. HELLO POF, CHECK THE PROFILES, IS BORING!

And the interface of the app is so bad, so ugly, so oldfashioned... POF, A BLUE FISH?
