I have a kinda weird experience with online dating because whatever service I face, I am not able to find a good partner for myself. Due to pof, I just understood that I don't need to seek for a partner rather than just for a friend who you can talk to during the whole day. I mean, it's way cooler to have a friend who you can reach out and discuss variety of things and maybe in future I will have relationships with this person. But I ain't wanna make guesses, let it be.
The people on the site are either unwilling or unable to fill out their dating profile without being rude or demanding, so it's hardly surprising they can't make their relationships work and are single? It's pretty evident they're on POF because no one else can deal with them in real life yet they act like God's gift, and they're actually doing you a favor by being on POF. They all seem incredibly angry, unhappy and downright rude. So more for creating a good first impression. Can't see likes, hate liars, and cheats; make me laugh; don't waste my time!. No ugly people! Were just some of the headlines I saw and should give an indication of what kind of people you'll encounter if you sign up to this site

To be honest I didn't find many of the women on the site very attractive at all. Even the ones who were okay seemed to have a terrible attitude or no personality.
All the profiles are blank or just tell you they don't like cheats and how they can't see the likes.
The funniest ones are those which tell you they're the self proclaimed banter queen yet can't even fill the about them section out.
0 stars. It leaves a lot to be desired. This isn't the way to meet your soul mate
It's not the site it is the people that are to blame
How can you take any site seriously when every single woman on there thinks she is a princess who won't settle for anything less than the men of their dreams. It's crazy
I didn't expect much but was still extremely disappointed.
I was only looking for someone okay-looking who was a nice person. No chance. A total waste of time
POF is just full of rude, bitter, angry, aggressive, and unpleasant women who are out of shape and just look really old.
I've never seen such a bunch of misfits and attention seekers.
If, on the off chance, you do find someone half normal, keep in mind you'll be competing with 1000s of other men so it's pointless
POF is definitely not the place to go to meet a nice, well-balanced, happy woman, quite the opposite in fact
80 percent of the females on POF are utterly dreadful. The remaining 20% are just plain Jane standard. Yet they ALL think they're a solid 10/10. Just look at the state of the photos and the aggressive profiles they put up. You're dealing with the reject bin of life.
The only reason they adopt the picky entitled attitude and make no attempt with their profile is because of how pathetic a lot of the men are on there act.
Way too many simp desperate men who are so thirsty for any partner at all that they bombard every single woman with messages telling them how great they are.
Most of the men are to blame and need to get some self respect. The women must laugh at the desperation
It's utterly embarrassing. Online dating is dreadful. It's full of horrible desperate and rude people.
Tip for consumers:
Only online could so many unattractive people act like they're hot property. It's embarrassing

Saw nothing but profile after profile of angry, undateable women.
Decided to give it another go but encountered nothing but rude, tattooed, weird women who spend their whole time complaining they can't see likes (and of course being angry)

PS. POF hilariously has introduced something called Prestige, where you can pay 130 a month extra to have your likes and messages appear at the top of their inbox.
I couldn't believe the 'quality' of women, some shocked me, some revolted me, others made me feel sad for them. Mostly though they're 55 year olds dressed up as if they're 20 again, this one old hag stated on her profile "Nothing bald and short" then I saw HER! You'd think it was princess Diana but more like Countess Dracula, total embarrassment, oh and don't forget the tattoos! Plenty of Tats would be a better title for this hideous spectacle.
If you do see someone you like they're usually 200 miles away, I believe there are some decent people on there but very few, oh and I kept getting messaged by 70 yo's! I'm 52, I'm still getting over it, AVOID guys ffs!
The women on there are 35 years+, all without exception demanding the man of their dreams.
In return, the lucky man will get a woman way past her past who doesn't exercise, has other men's children, multiple tattoos and piercings, and an attitude problem
The worse they are, the more attitude they have. Truly baffling.
I didn't see any kindness or humility on Plenty of Fish. It was really a sewer
It's the bottom 20% of women demanding the top 10% of men. You don't need to be Albert Einstein to realise that's unrealistic, so little wonder it's always the same people you see on there month after month
The messages I received were from people with no social skills. I had women who claimed they were teachers message me and use text talk. They were unable to string a sentence together. The funniest one was a woman who said she was looking for a man who loved Disney. What are the chances of that?
Needless to say, I'm no longer on the site
Tip for consumers:
Zero stars for what's on offer on pof
'Used to be a reasonable site - then ruined after monetization... Now a total waste of time. Unrealistic, rude, self entitled dimwits that appear to be verbally challenged... look anywhere but this site... Do yourself a favour, give POF a big miss...
I'm not exaggerating when I say If you saw the POF women in real life, you wouldn't give them a second glance; in fact, you'd feel sorry for them. That's how low the quality is.
What makes it funny is that they are so damn picky online, all acting like the Queen of Sheeba when, quite frankly, they're terrible. They all look old, are out of shape, unattractive, and have no personality. There's no reason why why man should message them
I have no idea what the men are like but the women are undateable
I've never encountered so many ignorant, stuck-up weird aggressive people on one site. The women are just rude and unpleasant, picky and arrogant. I've never seen so many women with obvious issues demand the man of their dreams as if they really think they deserve it
The more unattractive they are, the more picky they are. Short, unattractive, low-IQ women expect to find someone tall, dark, and handsome.
I've never seen so many foul-mouthed tattooed women in one place. They are just so unfeminine and have no class. They brag that they have no filter and swear a lot, like it's a good thing.
I'll happily never use this site again.
I have been using Plenty of Fish (POF) for some time, and my experience has been overwhelmingly disappointing. My main issue is the high prevalence of fake profiles on the site. Despite my efforts to engage with profiles that initially seem promising, I have found that most are fraudulent.
One of the major concerns is that the people who approach me also appear to be fake. To protect myself, I routinely run image searches on various search engines, and unfortunately, many of the profiles that initially seemed genuine have turned out to be using stolen or misleading images. It's evident that POF does not adequately vet or verify its user base to prevent these types of scams.
As a result, over 95% of the profiles I have interacted with have been fake or misleading in some way. This issue has significantly undermined my confidence in the platform and led me to the decision to cancel my membership.
In summary, my experience with POF has been marred by the presence of numerous fake profiles and a lack of effective moderation to combat these issues. While I cannot recommend this site based on my personal experience, I hope that POF will take steps to improve its user verification process. In the meantime, I am choosing to explore other options.
I tried the 3 month plan and spent a lot of time on the app. Bottom line it was a big waste of time and energy. I discontinued the pay service and deleted the app and they had the balls to bill me again. I am disputing the charge on my card. Be very careful when signing up. I had 0 results and all they want is your $$$. PLUS, I found that they have a lot of fake accounts and ghosting. WORTHLESS CHEATS
Yikes. It's really bad and repetitive
Nobody can see likes on pof but the women all have to tell you they can't see them. Virtually every headline is moaning about it. It's so tedious. They can't comprehend that everyone else says exactly the same thing. They also like to tell you to ask rather than fill the profile out
Women normally want to meet a man and get married, then have children. The ones on POF have children with anyone it seems, then want to meet a man, settle down, and get married. They expect you to bring up another man's children and be happy about it. And it's your loss if you don't.
It's also full of 2's wanting 8's and 3's wanting 10's. If you don't believe me look at the photos of the women demanding Mr Right and see how entitled they are and look at what they offer in return
Most of the women are aggressive, rude, and have no clue how to hold a conversation.
I've deleted the app
Tip for consumers:
Can't see likes. LOL
I've never seen so many nose piercings over-sized glasses and angry people in my life. I think that tells you a lot of the quality on offer
There are lots of 'take me as I am', make me laugh, and 'looking for Mr. Right' headlines. The bio underneath is then blank or just full of complaining. This would be laughable if the women were smoking hot models, but when you see most are out of shape, look very old, and are unattractive, then it's embarrassing. I've no idea if they're lazy, uneducated, or just entitled, but it's insane.
The more unattractive the women are on POF, the less effort they make. Imagine thinking that's a winning move
You need a miracle to find even one normal, half attractive person who isn't bitter with the world. I wouldn't recommend this
Tip for consumers:
Horrible, just truly dreadful people all angry and lacking class
Having used POF a number of times over the past decade, it now appears to be a simple scam to get people to pay for using the services, quite a few of the profiles are fake and when reporting them they still remain on the site, Also since I use a TV monitor and have no webcam and refuse to put the app on my phone they won't allow me access because I don't have a selfie although they were happy enough to accept my payment without one and of course now they refuse to refund funds paid, Best advice is not to use at all since most of it is just as phony as their other site Match.com
Tip for consumers:
Do not pay to play !
I have been a nonpaid member of POF for a long time. I tried the get-more-contacts approach and it did result in anymore responses. At 6 ft tall, weight proportionate I am not perfect but I'm not that bad to look at and do things with either. I prefer the company of females that are near or at my height weight proportionate. I would get these matches either too far away or heavy drinkers or heavy smokers which I don't drink liquor or beer, and I don't smoke anything or take drugs that are not prescribed for me. Granted I'm sure the competition is tough but I think such a narrow response rate makes me glad I didn't waste my money any longer than I did. I did request a refund and was granted one as POF is definitely not worth paying for.
Tip for consumers:
The service has to be free as no one should pay for it.
Instead of using their headline to tell you more about them most women just use it to complain how they can't see likes. It's so unimaginative and boring
I'm tired of reading how their children will always be the #1 in their life. If that's the case why did very few of them ever marry the child's father? What man wants to bring up another man's children?
Why is it they all want to settle down and find Mr Right now they're past their best?
The quality on offer is abysmal. I wouldn't bother
I swear 3/4 of the profiles I come across are fake. Very bad and almost incomprehensible English, stolen pics, random things chosen to fill out a profile. If you get a real man; they're so desperate and not what you're looking for.
It is so hard to find someone decent.
Plenty of Fish (POF) uses premium features that are not advertised on their website. Not until you become a paid subscriber that POF uses pop up messages to inform you that you can Boost your profile; utilize First contact; add Super Likes which all come at a price. I suspect POF throttles down my queries to only a limited search each time I log on. When I added premium features, the flood gates opened and I received profile visits, messages for a limited time. Without premium features, POF is a slow-moving website. Women can sign on for free.
Tip for consumers:
POF is not transparent in their advertising and marketing policies. They hide additional features from the public and these features come at a cost. In order to obtain traffic such as views to your profile, messages and likes - you must use the premium features.
Products used:
POF will not refund your money after 3 days.
You will all love this... Those who are INTERESTED IN ME appear as blurred images... Right click on the blurred photo and tap on search google for image... Or if you use a laptop... Download YANDEX or Search by image extention... Multi platform search (Red and white camera icon) all who liked you will then appear as clear images when you right click on a photo and search the image... One other thing... You will get notifications saying Someone liked you... This is often not true... POF are trying to trick you into paying... The person may have only viewed your profile...Not LIKED YOU... The ones who DID like you will only be in the INTERESTED IN ME page...
Tip for consumers:
Use the info I have given you to spot the Scammers, As when you search for the image you will see what other sites the same photo is on....

The website should be named plenty of single moms who love tattoos and behave in a very unladylike manner.
Or plenty of single moms who love to tell you they can't see likes and expect the man of their dreams, even though they're the stuff of nightmares.
There's no originality, and boy do they love to tell you how they can't see likes. If it's that much of an issue, why don't they pay?
Full of complaints delusion and drama. Not recommended
Tip for consumers:
Good luck finding anyone that isn't angry and bitter
They've never heard the saying you catch more flies with honey than vinegar
If you don't hang out at the bars, casinos or clubs this might be another avenue to look into. Though its not perfect it is better than some of those paying sites. You can filter the ones you are looking for such as type of religion, marital status, age, area, no pictures, ect...
I would recommend this site, but like any website use it wisely.
