Dreadful
January 21, 2021

I'll write a review on here as the big named review site is full of fake reviews being pumped out every few minutes which has seen its rating go from poor to great in a few months and can't be trusted

I love how the women are saying Covid made them join the site as though in real life they get loads of offers from men. You look at them and they are overweight with numerous children and lack the ability to even fill out their profile "just ask" and can't even talk in normal sentences

If on the rare chance you find someone who appears decent it will soon fail as they lack basic conversational skills to chat properly even though they say " must have great banter "

The whole world is in lockdown and I can only imagine how many desperate men are messaging these creatures giving them validation into thinking they're all great catches when in fact you wouldn't look at any of them twice in the real world

I decided after a few years of being single to venture into the Cyber Dating World. I joined POF to "dip my toe into the pool" (wastewater is a better adjective). I actually JOINED- as in PAID subscription for 30 days. I live in the 8th largest city in the United States. I selected a 75 mile radius of men in my OWN age group without attention to income and average build within a 20 year range of my age. The site boasts millions of users and they can't come up with 100 or even 50 men that match my LOW expectations. The site also suggested for me to meet BOTH men AND women. POF kept changing my searches to 400 miles, because they lacked enough matches for me. Really? How does this site stay in business? I want a refund!

POF Dating (Free Version)
September 4, 2022

Looking for a date on POF is like sawing off your big toe with a rusty dull knife. Terrible. I have tried repeatedly on the site to no avail. DONT WASTE YOUR time. One guys message to me was one word: S@#T. It is very disturbibg on the site Like you are communicating with one human who is the biggest idiot in the world.

Yesterday I was chatting to somebody and we were getting on really well. She is 31 and I was 45.

Today I am a day older than yesterday but it was my 46th birthday and because of the POF Police's age restrictions I can no longer contact her as she is too young for me apparently. What a difference a day makes.

After her wishing me a happy birthday I can no longer thank her or even contact her. Now she thinks I am ignoring her and we didn't exchange contact details so, as far as I'm concerned I could have lost the girl of my dreams but all they care about is that I am no longer young enough to contact her! Surely that is illegal?!

This site is an absolute joke and the owner Markus Frind is an absolute joke and control freak!

MY ACCOUNT KEEPS GETTING DELETED AND I DEMAND TO KNOW WHY! These are real people here and I made real connections that are all gone now. There needs to be a better system in place as to what profiles can be deleted. This is not fair! I spend so much time making my profile just right to reflex the person that I am, and I have made connections with people that I couldn't get back. It was so upsetting and incredibly disheartening but I decided I'll dust it off and create another account. Then things were going great, I met someone I really liked. We had a real spark between us and spoke for ages. Then this account also got deleted and I lost him. This is not fair at all. This isn't right. It was an honest account. I didn't use any nudity or profanities. I had done nothing wrong at all. Yet it got deleted. Why?

Where do i start pof is horrible women never reply to messages they block you if you message them they are they most pickiest,shallow women ever and if by some miracle they do reply to your messages it's the always your not my type or you have too many red flags.But wait the women on there want to except there red flags they have of ton kids they smoke,drunk or do drugs extremely overweight one thing i find is funny there ridiculous profiles they say they are not looking for sex but they have there breasts and nipples poking out of there shirts and they always point out and say my kids come first before you hello another red flag by them they also say that they don't like sent messages that saids hi but if you look like a male model that's what kind of messages they send to guys.So if you don't look like Brad Pitt and have a ton of money you don't have a chance with these women not even ugliest women will get with you.

This website is utter garbage and a waste of time. The people on this site, for the most part, are incredibly trashy and the pickings are slim. Even the below average looking people don't respond to your messages and expect supermodel type of dates; if you aren't a 10/10, you can forget getting anyone on here. I was on this site for probably about 4 months and I think I only got a total of 3 messages back out of the mere 30-40 I sent out. Also, no one on here seems to want to DATE, they only want casual sex.

I went on OkCupid and had more luck in my first day than I ever had in the 4 months I was on POF. I finally deleted my profile and I'll NEVER go back.

Wanted M4M matches 33% of them were Female, sent snips of the profiles or':Recommended Matches, no action take and when I canceled the photos and were still there, meaning no room for new and correct matches.I also cancelled to avoid a renewal and the remaining month of access was also cancelled. I feel taken and wonder if there wasn't a homophobic aspect to this. My headline was specific and stated that while I respect everyone's' right to have their life as they need, I only wanted CIS (M4M) matches. Very very disappointing experience and customer service experience.

Horrible
March 24, 2023

This is the worst site ever. I wish I could give it 0 stars. Some guy wanted me to meet him at his house but I said no since I have never met him. He goes on and lies about me and I get my account taken down when I did nothing, which I don't care because this is the fakest dating sight alive with the weirdest people and I wish this whole site would go away. It's pathetic. People are trying to find love and this site is such a joke. WORST DATING SITE EVER.

Good
February 28, 2017

I had a few creeps on POF but you can also meet nice peopl. IMO one of the best dating sites and sure worth trying. The app needs improvement and can't compete with Tinder though. Conlusion: Good! IMO POF is of the top three sites/apps to use (tinder and mingle2day are also worth trying)

This site is full of desperate men, men looking for something they'll never get. Its like a dog chasing a car, if the dog ever caught the car he wouldnt know what the hell to do with it! Come down off your throan and look for normal.
Im an independent single mother, i have a full time job, a 2017 car and pay my own bills! You self centered men are so wrapped up in yourselves you dont see the good women because we are real, you pigs want big boobs, tall and skinny, long blonde hair, flawless skin, but dumbasses thats a hooker on your street corner...
This is why women hate men, your all so judgmental and SO needy... come back to reality and check yourseld maybe, just maybe you will have more than your hand as a girlfriend.

Those soulless turds at POF totally suck.! I was a member about 10 years ago, met someone, and deleted my profile. I went back on in 2020,at the end of covid. Wow.! Had it changed.! The search parameters are a complete waste of time. They won't let you narrow the radius to your location, I don't want to date someone 50-60 miles from me, let alone 150-300 miles.! Also, you can only send 1 message a day,since this bunch of losers were bought out by those grave robbing liar/scammers over at Match. Con That's right, Match.con for con artists. They will lie and scam you, by sayimg someone " likes " you, but don't believe it.
From looking at the profiles on there, I surmise most are fakes, and the ones that aren't, are scammers working for POF, or CHEATERS. The bottom line is, save your money, go out and meet someone you can SEE and TALK to in person. It's better than being catfished by these bottom feeders.

No use
April 29, 2017

There has to be a better way to find a woman than this, the women arent even that nice although they think they are. Most of them just pout or pull daft faces. Show tats and look very unfeminine. Most cuss in their profile too. A lot use txt speak which is an instant turn off. You wouldnt take any of these to meet your mom

I read a profile today that said dislikes ~ bad breath + body odor. What a ridiculous thing to put. As if anyone likes those things
I am thinking even the most average looking woman gets 100 of messages which is why they all act like princesses.
Can you imagine if you ever found anyone nice and pleasant enough to go on a date with? She would have another 80 dates lined up
Would love to see men stopping dating these women and see them make an effort instead of sitting on their laptops being rude and diva like

This site must be be great if you are a woman, it must be like everyday is Christmas getting tons of mail from men desperate to date you regardless how unattractive you are

I lost count of the profiles with average *at best* looking women saying in their bio " If i dont message you back the first time I am not going to message you back the 3rd and 4th time)
That tells me there are way too many desperate men on there. No wonder they get a diva like complex if they are plain looking and still getting men constantly messaging them numerous times. Honestly if not for internet dating these women wouldnt get a date now they are being picky! So as bad as the women are for being so rude picky and demanding you have to blame the men as well. I have no idea why they would message a plain looking woman 4 times, and this wasnt on just one profile but alot.

Would love to know the ratio of men to women on the site must be 300:1 men to women at least

I sent about a dozen messages. They all got looked at and ignored me. I asked they were and what they were upto. Not one had the decency to reply. I'm not freaking Shrek. No point wasting my time

I did see this profile before I logged out which made me laugh
She was below 5 foot so basically a midget and had a menial job in a care home and and she couldn't spell

The best bit of the profile

Looking for my genuine guy
Blue eyes are my 100% dream but if your (sic) personality is 10/10 then eye colour doesn't matter ( how gracious of her)
Personalty (sic)
Tanned
Must have hair
A few tats
Nice teeth
Looks after themselves

This from a 4 foot munchkin who has the brain capacity of a turnip and is quite happy to toss a guy aside if his eyes aren't the right colour.

Can you imagine this behavior in the real world? No I'm sorry I'm not interested as you don't have the right colour eyes.
