I would not recommend POF to anyone for online dating. The interface is very slow. I don't understand what kind of software engineers they have hired. Lot of bugs. I am myself a software guy and can tell this site sucks big time. I can make such site or app in 2-3 days myself.
Try skout, datehookup. They are much better.
One issue me and my friend faced is that when we try to approach a girl, if she is not interested and would just block you. If u get any 2-3 suck blocks against you your account is deleted. I mean what the f. They got completely stupid policies. Too much female oriented. I think they should rather make it a homosexual (actually lesbian)dating site, only for women so that nobody would mind from anyone. And atleast guys ego and respect can be saved. I faced this problem two times when I got my account deleted. I never misbehaved, abused anyone. Still they deleted the account then I think the creators themselves have never ever dated. There algorithm is itself incorrect which finds your matches exactly opposite to what you are looking for. I mean c'mon guys are you some school students trying some hands on project and playing with people. I wish I could give it a 0 star. People, there are much better sites out there, please don't stuck yourself into this foolish site.
Thanks,
Rahul
