Hilariously poor
November 18, 2025

I can't believe how people act online.

Since when could unattractive middle aged women be so rude and picky? I've never seen a thing like it. It's a like an episode of the Twilight Zone where everything is back to front.

Needless to say I'm not on there any more

This site gets worse
November 9, 2025

Back after a year break and it's even worse then ever.
The same people keep clicking the like button on me and then not messaging even though women get unlimited first messages. Its really strange and sums this site up perfectly.

Very few women bother to take care of themselves and most are terrible both inside and out.

Making no effort yet still wanting the man of their dreams always makes me laugh.

Full of middle aged women who are no longer attractive. They all have lots of baggage, children, pets and tattoos...

The hilarious thing is that despite all the baggage they have, they are still very picky about what they want...

I did laugh when POF offered my 50% off a premium membership. No chance I'll be joining that...

Maybe the ones under 30 might be better but I don't know as it won't let me see them.

Men are only allowed to send one message every 24 hours unless they pay more. They're also not allowed to have no photo or their profile will be hidden... Women can message as many as they want and they still moan they can't see likes relentlessly. They're also allowed to have no photo on their profile. The females seem to have too many children, too many tattoos or too many cats.

The profile headline is first place you use to catch someone's eye. Sadly the fact most use it to complain tells you what quality of person you'll likely find on there. "Can't see likes." - I saw this A LOT, about 90% of headlines have this gem in. Of course they can see likes if they wish, what they mean is they don't want to pay to find the man of their dreams... If you do find a headline that doesn't say this then you'll find most of them are out of shape, unattractive or just really unpleasant people. You really will need a miracle to find someone half normal on there. I can't imagine any decent women would stay on there for long

The best analogy I can give is this If you go to fruit n veg store and you get there late then all the decent stuff will have gone, all that's left is the stuff nobody wants because it's past it's best and it's damaged goods. It's been prodded and poked and its quality is awful... That's what the people on POF are like... You'll need to be extremely fortunate to find a female you even find close to being attractive.

Twice now POF has some how lost my email address and confused past email as the real one. Then I am forced to suffer the loss. As they hide behind a computer sending form letters.Gaslight city from a bunch of low lifes. Not to mention your photos get screwed up and look wierd.The girls all wear sunglass's.No doubt fake profiles. Lots of scammers if you like emails from fake pictures of goodlooking woman..

If I don't reply it's because I don't find you attractive -hahahaha. I saw this A LOT on profiles and it was always from unattractive or overweight women. I couldn't get off the site fast enough... First time on there since 2016 and straight away you see the same familiar faces with the old pics and they're all still wanting a dream man and demanding heaven and earth with their blank profiles

After a few days i realised it's dreadful... 50% are women who spend all their time complaining they can't see likes and the other half are ones who put their children' as conversation starters. Yes let's talk about another man's kids to break the ice... I've never seen a dating site that is rammed with single mums everywhere you look... They all want a spark from the guy despite the fact most are unattractive and 'plus sized' or 'curvy'... I chuckled at the numerous times I saw average women put 'if I don't reply it's because I don't find you attractive 'in their profile... I've never seen so many rude entitled toxic people...

AWFUL SITE
August 16, 2025

What is wrong with people on this site? They're incredibly picky and all seem to spend their time demanding or complaining... The older they are they more they expect and the less they offer. If they're as great as they think why are they single? Why do they all have to keep telling you they can't see the likes? What they mean is they don't want to pay... If you do contact them they just go on about awful life is and how bad men are. Why on earth would I want to hear such negativity from strangers?...
Most don't seem to want to date so why are they even on the site? It really is scrapping the barrel stuff.

A gruesome experience
August 2, 2025

After three months on there this is my review. Most of the women are messed up in some way or other. They have severe issues.
Even the normal ones don't think twice about ghosting you. One woman was talking to me fine then next morning she had blocked me for no reason. That's hardly normal behavior is it?. I had women message me first and then didn't replying to my response. Why bother in the first place then?. They claim to want a funny and good guy but what they really they want someone who is incredibly good looking. It was funny to see average looking ones say things like "I can't believe it's come to this?" as if they're far too good for online dating.
They all think they deserve a really hot guy and if you don't like it it's your loss' because they know their worth LOL... Most haven't aged well at all and look at least ten years older than their photos yet still expect a male model to email them. I won't be rushing back that's for sure

Garbage site
July 30, 2025

Double standards galore. Women can contact you with no photos yet when a man removes his photos his profile gets hidden.
Women can send as many messages as they like. Men get only one a day unless they pay... Its basically a site of women in their 40's who have decided they finally want to find their 'last first date' now they're past their best and had their fun. They all still think they deserve a really hot guy and if you don't like it it's your loss' LOL... The phrase beggars can't be choosers springs to mind. I'd feel sorry for them if they didn't seem like such awful people

If the photos don't put you off, then the headlines and profile rants certainly should. I love how they all want to find the one and have a fairytale ending despite their legion of baggage,,,,, They make it perfectly clear their children will always be the most important thing in their life. They then state, If you're not willing to accept their children, it's your loss,' lol,,,,, By the time you filter out the single moms and the overweight ones, there's no one left to message.,,,,,, I should have guessed it would be bad when you see them putting tattoos as a hobby.,

I can't believe I was stupid enough to join premium
I thought I'd be able to send unlimited messages to people but apparently I need to upgrade again to prestige to do that...
What's the point of having a premium option when it still only let's you message one person every 24 hours? They even want more money to boost your photo. It's never enough with them. Always wanting more money off you. Premium is a waste of time. You can only see who has liked you with that. Still only 1 message a day

Nothing good can come from joining POF if you're a guy... Lots of women in their forties looking for a connection {which I guess you must be attractive} I chuckled at how they expect guy to take care of himself yet you've got to accept them for how they are. The guy must be in must be in perfect shape and good looking but you've got to ignore the fact they're aren't. {How many fit men do you know who would be happy dating someone overweight?}... The funniest ones are the women who tell you that you have to make them laugh and make an effort... Hahahaha Nah that definitely won't be happening. Not with what's on offer in return

Talk about having tickets on yourself. POF is the bottom 30% of women all demanding someone way out their league. They all want someone tall dark handsome + funny. In other words they expect to date the top 5 % of men in the world. Theres no hope of it happening and just sums up how little actual common sense there is on there. Isn't it amazing how once they reach a certain age they ALL want to settle down and find the one.?

Gave me a headache
May 10, 2025

Lot of crazy people in the world and most seem to have ended up on POF
This typifies what one can expect...
A woman has one pic up and she says it's the worst one of her she has (it's half blurred and you can't see her eyes) and if you want to see better ones you'll have to get to know her. The profile was blank so nothing to gauge from that. That's the mentality you can you expect to find on there... Another one was the man must be over 6 feet 3 tall, not drink alcohol, love cats and Disney, be funny, take good care of himself and work out. How many grown men who are 6'3+do you know who like Disney and cats?... I can't deal with the amount of stupidity and nonsense on show... All I got off POF was a headache... FWIW Any half attractive woman will be snowed under with messages that'll she won't be able to respond to them all

I spoke to a few women who are no longer on there. They all told me the same: lots of men messaging them, love-bombing them straight away, asking for feet pics or other inappropriate things, as well as sending aubergine emojis all the time. The men who can't control their urges have ruined the site for the normal guys. It's pathetic behavior tbh. Ask yourself this? If you're a nice woman, why would you stay on a site like POF? You wouldn't, so
Unless you meet a decent woman real quick before she leaves, then all that are left are the ones that are not acceptable From what I've seen, the ones who stay on there are not very nice while at the same time managing to be extremely stuck-up (hardly a winning combination, but they don't seem to care). I lost count of the times I saw "just ask" where the About Me section was.

This isn't a good site. The motto should be why make an effort to create a good impression when you can just complain instead" The women have out of control ego's and are full of their own self importance None of them seem good natured and prefer to complain, acting unfriendly and spend their time telling you they can't see likes rather than make any kind of effort to attract men. Imagine thinking it's a good idea joining a dating site with that attitude. I can honestly say I've never seen so many single mums, weirdos and unattractive misfits in my life.

As soon as you browse the profiles the negativity is apparent. The females make no effort yet complain how bad the site is. They don't seem to realize they're not helping the situation The profiles are all depressingly similar and just scream high maintenance, high drama, and low quality. Instead of complaining that they can't see likes why not either pay to access them or change the headline to something friendlier? God forbid they might make an effort to be nice for a first impression instead Reading "can't see likes" as a headline is a lazy, instant put-off. There are many selfies in bathrooms showing tattoos and flipping the bird, along with numerous pictures of messy rooms. That alone should give you an idea of the quality of person you can expect to meet there. You'll need to be extremely lucky to find a good catch there.
