No one talks
February 15, 2025

}Good luck trying to have a conversation with anyone on the site.

They view and like your profile then message but all I ever got is hi, hello or u ok?

If you message first and get a reply you'll just get hi or hello regardless of what you ask in the initial message

Either the site is full of people with low IQs or they just get so many messages that they don't care about having a conversation with you. It doesn't bode well if giving more than one word answers is too much effort for them

A site full of dross
March 11, 2025

Most of the women are not attractive yet act as if they're Margot robbie. As if that's not bad enough they're incredibly stuck up, rude, have no s.o.h and are full of their own self importance acting like the men should be grateful they're on there. I've never seen so many red flags in my life Before I paid I was getting likes I couldn't see every day. Since I paid all the likes have dried up. What a coincidence! Don't bother.

I was dumb enough to sign up for a month on POF. Thankfully I managed to cancel it after 30 days so no real damage done

The standard is really bad, most need therapy and lessons in etiquette. Most of full of themselves despite looking like Rosie O'Donnell yet expect a guy who looks like Chris Hemsworth.

To say I was disappointed would be a mega understatement.

It's like trying to find a diamond in the rough. You've more chance of winning the lotto

Lots of women use old photos and quite happily knock 10 years off their real age to try and get a younger man Most profiles only say fill in later or contain that many demands that no man would be interested It's full of both angry and dumb people. Most have multiple issues and red flags galore. Lots are timewasters or just plain weird POF = Low quality and a dreadful standard. I've deleted my account and won't be back

Typical POF.

Headline says No Timewasters!

Profile underneath is blank

It's not surprising they can't find a man is it? Why would I want to message them when thats all they say?

I think because the site is free people don't care. But why would anyone message someone if they're not capable of telling more about themselves?

I also don't want to know they can't see likes and how they don't want a one night stand or how they hate liars and cheats. It's just lazy and generic guaranteed to put people off

Nobody is interested in reading complaints and unhappiness. Until people are happier on the site it'll remain useless.

Genie in a Bottle
February 1, 2025

Pof just made me laugh

The women all act like theyre peak Christina Aguilera 1999 when in reality they look more like Christina Aguilera in 2025.

The women range from below average to distinctly average and that's totally fine
Where it all starts to go wrong however is that every single woman on there is determined to find a man who is miles and miles out her league.

They don't seem to care they have little chance of meeting a drop dead gorgeous looking guy on there, they're all too busy demanding on the profile you must be tall dark and handsome to get a reply. I mean what could possibly go wrong?

I'm not sure if every dating site is the same as this is the only one I've been on but the women are very unrealistic with their demands

>The females on POF all want the hottest guy imaginable while doing the least amount possible to attract him... The women spend way too much time moaning how they can't the likes. (What that really mean is they don't want to pay the extra to see them)... Pof profiles are a hotbed of negativity, nobody seems to give a damn about creating a good first impression at all... It's all about what they want and the spark they demand... Why would their perfect man be interested in such drama and negativity?... It beggars belief how they act...
I lost count of the times I read how much they dote on their pets or children and how you must be fine with both coming before you... A lot even want a man who doesn't enjoy the pub LOL... TLDR; It's full of short mediocre looking women all demanding the spark + the man of their dreams.

In the six months I was on POF I spoke to two women both who ghosted me after a week. Not having the common decency to tell me they'd found someone else sums up the kind of person you can expect to find if you join up The rest just ignore you or are so bad that you wouldn't want to message them regardless Lots of 40-50 old women trying to recapture their youth still thinking they're 21 is quite embarrassing. Their sense of reality seems to have gone out the window and some of the demands they make are really quite sad

I didn't realize there were so many single mum's and misfits in the world and they all have seem to have gravitated towards Pof.
Add in drama queens, immature attention seekers and ne'er do wells & you have the perfect storm for staying single. The worse they are the more demands they make on the site. It's a real head scratcher.

I've got a week left on my paid subscription, and I definitely won't be renewing it. You live and learn. The major problem is that the women on there all want the perfect man and refuse to compromise even slightly. Their profiles might say they want a funny guy with a good personality, but unless you're very good-looking, you won't get a reply. The second thing is the women have all the traits that aren't good. Unattractive, don't take care of their bodies, tattoos, other mens children. The standard is very poor yet they all want the perfect man. They won't even settle for okay the man has to be gorgeous The other major problem is there's too many men on there so even if you find a good woman she'll be snowed under with messages from other guys I definitely won't be rushing back to POF. There has to be better than this.
