The overall reputation of Plenty of Fish (POF) is largely negative, with customers expressing significant dissatisfaction regarding the quality of profiles and user interactions. Common concerns include a high prevalence of fake profiles, rudeness, and entitlement among users, particularly women, who are perceived as unrealistic in their dating expectations. Many reviews highlight poor customer service, including issues with account management and a lack of effective support. While some users acknowledge the site's potential for connecting singles, the overwhelming sentiment suggests that POF has declined in quality and user experience, leading many to seek alternatives.

The females all seem to be 2/10 in the looks dept and even worse, 1/10 personality wise. They all seem very angry and bitter, not to mention extremely deluded.
If you can find anyone who has bothered to fill their bio out properly, you're doing well. Most are either very abrupt or just blank.
Sadly, if you think you will find anyone remotely cheerful, even average-looking/ a nice person, you will be extremely disappointed.
I honestly wouldn't waste your time
Once you pay to get access you find that 95of women's profiles are marked "disconnected". Of the remaining if you write to anyof them you find that most never even get read, leading you to assume the're probably bogus ones they made up for show. Of course there are the endless prostitution officers every day which they con't apparently screen.
Years ago it was a good site where you could search to find singles with the same occupations, hobbies, etc. but not any more.
Just wanted to warn Toronto users out there of a plenty of fish account called "Shivelle" also "ShivelleEee", she goes by other names too. She is a scammer and will try to meet you in real life and get you to give cash to her to help buy drinks so she can run away. Report her profile if you see her and don't meet up with her. I have attached pictures and a video of what she looks like
Be careful men on here all liars, they say never married, that's a lie. They say single, that's a lie. I've googled half of my matches and they are liars. Discussed with this site. Be careful ladies. If you can't be honest you shouldn't be allowed to be on this site!
I am so disappointed in pof when did they become so greedy,they want us guys to pay for everything and we can only send one free message every 23 hours, you cant even see who likes your profile unless you pay meanwhile the ladies get to join for free,and the prices are ridicolous,bring back pof the way it was before gees,most women on there just looking for a one nighter anyways they lie on their profile so stop charging us guys these insane prices its just not gonna work
Pof sucks they want you to pay for everything now and if you use credit card they rip you off whats going on here
I used POF on/ off for years, but now its a waste of time. I tried to get back on and it keeps getting hacked & its full of scammers, hookups, and creepy people who look scary and desperate and people who look old enough to be my parent. Im done. If Im not meant to be with someone in my late 50s so be it. Im too old to play games, hookup, and be ghosted. Meet people in person its probably best like church or something... POF is a waste of time
Plenty of Folks sh is loaded with scammers 99% of the ppl on there are fake or scammers the profiles doesn't really explain st I reached out to them on 9/27/23 regarding scammers and the swept it under the rug I screen shot 3 individuals that were totally scammers with fake profiles and they did nothing took my $$$$ for scammers THEY ARE THE REAL SCAMMERS BECAUSE there's no way u can't verify someone there's new technology out to prevent this from happening but it's all about revenue for POF do not sign up with them this is a GARBAGE DATING SITE I HAVE THE PROFF
All of the dating sites I've looked at are cynical businesses profiting from often sad and lonely people. That's the baseline.
Plenty of Fish at least allows unsubscribed members to make limited contact with potential matches and, uniquely, allows these to reply.
Others oblige you to pay to send a personalised message - and pay again to receive a reply!
There is little that I like. Their GPS is pathetic. Despite stating within 50 mile radius, most profiles are at least 100 miles away. There are so many scammers, it is really scarey. They should make validation mandatory. I wish I didn't buy but you have to in order to use it. This will be last time.
I just wanted to let everyone know that this site works great if you give it a chance I met my wife on POF 9 and a half years ago we got married after 3 and a half years after we met and were married for 6 years sadly she passed away July 19th of this year but because of this site i met my soulmate and there was a happy ending for both of us im crushed now but I would not be where i am today if it was not for POF
Low quality people who have no clue how to be nice and couldn't care less about creating a good first impression. They're more concerned with telling you they are really independent/don't need a man and how they can't see likes.
The women that got in touch with me had way too many issues in their private lives and shouldn't have been on a dating site until they had solved their problems out. Lots of ex boyfriends still around or on the rebound
Just chock-a-block full of drama I don't need
I have written their NON- EXISTING customer service. I am angry that they let men 10 yrs older then my preference contact me. But when men who liked me, wrote me and wanted to meet who were younger then me I could not respond...beyond sexist!
And they clearly have no idea that Wenatchee, WA is part of the US...see pic below
One pic is what happened when I tried to text back to a guy who had liked and texted me FIRST, yet they send a message saying he's looking for something different.
HELLO. THEY WANTED TO TALK TO ME
But pof wouldn't let me respond even though I was a freaking paid member,. I highly DO NOT recommend...plus at least half of the attractive men are scammers who I report and they POF does absolutely nothing to get rid of the fakes...worst company ever!
This place a gimmick and for new individuals this place is not like it ude to be.the world of dating and interacting is gone wild...since the covid 19 pof seems to have got the flu also...not for a man like me better off going for a walk
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.
Nothing but scammers and fake profiles. The app is flooded with them. Do not recommend this site. Obviously they're not screening people. If I could read it a zero I would but that's not an option so one it is
I just got back on to try POF I think in my short time on there I turned in two scammers. I never broke any of the protocols and wake up to my account deleted for no reason and there is no reason or what to get my money back im not happy
What was once a decent site is now 60% scammer profiles and just getting worse. Avoid, Avoid its not in any way worth paying for.
This site is a trash dump for all other dating sites. It's a meat market for nasty people and scamers. Pof knows they have this problem but they encourage sxamers because that's the only way they can make money off this garbage site. I looked through the profile and I keep getting the same women that I've already liked or disliked. What a bunch of low lives that run this company.
The standard is very low, which I half expected
What I didn't expect was to find these bottom ten percenters sitting on their phone with an atrociously entitled attitude, wanting the world and giving nothing back. Their entitlement is embarrassing considering what they bring to the table
Can't see likes - Make me laugh - If you want to know ask...
They're some of the repetitive headlines I saw a lot, until I lost interest. MENSA it isn't.
Good luck trying to find someone even half normal. I'll leave it to the simps.
Answer: Oh yes, they want you to upgrade and pay! But when you pay you will see these profiles who you liked or who liked you disappear. They were nothing but bait-and-switch. You gain nothing when you pay, it's the silliest way to spend money. Are you looking for hook up or relationship? I wanted a relationship and I was really frustrated by Pof. Eventually I found what I was looking for on https://j4l.com/402007 But I've lost nearly a year on Pof. Not to mention emotional drain and money!
Answer: I just deactivated my account. This site is a sewer. Do not pay anything for this site or any site. I searched for free on other site( even paid ones you can search for free) and I saw the same guys on most of the other sites as well. I'm gonna grow old alone unless luck steps in and maybe I'll meet my guy IRL.
Answer: Yes its possible
Answer: Delete AND contact the company. If you know who took your pictures be sure to include the name on the profile that your pictures were used on, so they can deal with that person. Once you have deleted your profile, everything is GONE. I have never had anybody use my pictures on any other sites. I'm no great beauty, that could be the reason, Still, once your profile is deleted, everything is gone.
Answer: You cannot do it from the mobile site. You need to use your search, example safari and look up pof desktop version and go to the help in the top left. It will walk you thru it, if I remember correctly. Good luck
Answer: First, write to POF and explain. Now, and I mean NOW call up your credit card company and tell them what happened. I am sure POF will not contact you. Make sure to use the word "unacceptable" when describing the consumer service to the CC company about POF. Keep all emails too. Please keep me posted. Thanks Ann B.
Answer: STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAMMING SITE! Any good you hear from or about it... DUH ITS THE SCAMMERS THAT WORK FOR EM. I been booted so many times due to unpopularity cuz i wont date trash so i get booted they keep your money they are garbage
Answer: Fake doesn't really describe them... more like downright liars!
Answer: Golden rule #1: Do onto others as you would have them do unto you Golden rule #2: Anything that sounds to good to be true, is not. Golden rule #3: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Answer: POF is not free at all, you have to upgrade; become a paying member to be able to do anything interesting.
