Plenty of Fish Reviews Summary

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

Big time rip off
October 12, 2023

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!

Waste of Time!
October 7, 2023

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

Very cynical businesses
September 24, 2023

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!

Keeps going downhill
September 21, 2023

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.

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

Sexist algorythym
September 15, 2023

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!

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

What a trash dump pof is.
September 2, 2023

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.

Unspeakably bad
August 31, 2023

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.
