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.

My experience with plenty of fish has been almost completely negative. You have to be very careful about what you say in their sight because if they don't like what you say they will cancel your account even if you just paid yesterday. Which is what happened to me. I was talking with another user and expressing my point of view to them in conversation. And they turned around and complained in my account was terminated. I did not use any bad language or sexual language, was just simply expressing a political point of view. In a private conversation, right after I had paid them a little over $100 for a 6-month. I think they're a bunch of self-righteous Crooks! And it's literally almost impossible to get a hold of anyone that understands anything. They're all foreigners and other countries. Keep your money find another place to find love. Once they ban you you're done.

"Cant see likes, cant see likes, cant see likes message me". That's what at least 90% of the headlines from women say
Don't they realise nearly every other woman has pout the same or don't they care? Why cant they make an effort or tell me more about themselves? It just comes across and lazy and unoriginal to put "cant see likes", when I see that I have no interest, if they were serious they would pay or at least fill their bio out with something positive. Who wants to see negativity?

Also "I know my worth and not prepared to settle" might look good in a magazine but when you are 45 and have a lot of baggage it just looks absolutely ridiculous.

I've no idea what the men are like and I don't really care. It's full of women that are ridiculously below average looking who can't even make up for that by being a nice person.

The most staggering thing is how picky they all are. They want a good looking guy who is tall and cute. It's full of 2s who can't even be bothered filling the profile section out, all they do is stick their tongue out in the pics.

Any decent woman will have their messaging disabled. So all that's left are the ones with attitude and baggage, yet still demanding a hot guy. Can you imagine them pulling that trick in a bar?

Obviously way too many thirsty men on there giving them attention

Utterly pointless

After you're on the site awhile and have had several First Contacts, a 24 hour clock kicks in and you can't have another First Contact until then. Your stuck chatting with the multitude of Scammers and Prostitutes who wasted all your initial efforts at finding someone compatible. You have to pay the Subscription Price to life the ban. Not fair!

Full of scammers
May 31, 2023

I connected with a few men who quickly told me how much they liked me and would do anything possible to keep a relationship. They both told me they didn't have family near by, and that their job made them travel frequently. But we would meet in person as soon as everything was settled and would take me to meet there family out of state. Then both tried to trick me into getting a hold of my money. One gave me a sad story, and how I was the only one he could turn to for help and it was urgent. The other one told me he wanted to add me to his sock market and needed my personal information. (Social security number, driver's license bank password etc) Yet when I both to sign a Notery document of proof of my financial assistance, they both acted offended and heart broken. And how my distrust was getting in the way of a good relationship.

Pof is horrible
May 30, 2023

They lie to you
They show preferential treatment to girls... they deny it But I proved it.
They show you recommended matches and the matches aren't taking messages... so is this a ploy to get you to fork out money for the same treatment? YES it is...
And if you complain... they remove your profile

Fake

Full of fake profiles. It looks like they are no longer free. When you try and send a message it provides option to become a paying member. Use another site. It is obvious they are just like other paying site but with more fake profiles.

I didn't realize there were so many single mums in the world and every one of them seemed to be on POF

They love saying they're 'ready to find the one and settle down now' but their children will always come first. I said no single mums or smokers in preference, yet both were able to contact me.

The vast majority are also old, unattractive and overweight as well, not to mention barely literate. They love to say they're independent,strong and don't need a man. They really know how to sell themselves.

Despite that, they have the audacity to be extremely picky.

Oh and at least half of them can't be bothered to come up with a decent headline and just tell you they 'can't see likes'. That sums up the standard you're dealing with.

Total scam
May 20, 2023

POF will delete your profile and keep your money with no explanation whatsoever. The site blocked and deleted my profile with no explanation because once they delete your profile you can not contact customer service to obtain a reason and they don't give refunds for paying for the service. I joined for 6 months and within hours the email notification me that I was deleted. No explanation. Out of the 26 women who supposedly were interested in meeting, none were the type you would want to meet. The software is a scam! The site doesn't deserve a star.

You look for people around your age, and grandma starts sending you likes. The people that I did talk to never ever wanted to meet thinking there bots. Would never recommend this dating site, the worst one out there. Well at least i met someone on Tinder WITH HEAD LICE!

Don't expect to see many MENSA candidates. It's full of women complaining and demanding men way out their league

Considering they expect to find the man of their dreams most of the females cant even be bothered to fill their bio out and just tell you to ask.

They all love to tell you they can't see likes. Virtually every other profile headline tells you this. They don't seem to realise everyone is saying it and it's really tedious and unimaginative.

It sums up the low quality on offer to be honest. Any decent women wouldn't be on this site. So all you have are the leftovers who cant find a man. The ones with lots of baggage and really bad attitudes

Fraud
May 14, 2023

Was curious about the site and out of pure curiosity purchased the 12 month 10 dollar a month subscription. To my surprise these A holes charged my card the full amount…Immediately started to ask for a refund. Stay tuned to see if I get the run around…

I've never seen so many dreadful people in my life on one site

The very few decent profiles all have messaging disabled

All that's left are the illiterate and angry ones who are covered in tattoos and still believe they can meet Prince Charming

If you're a man this site is a total waste of time

I am a Veteran widow. I was harassed and stalked by scammers on this site and then I was blocked from the site by POF. I am insulted and disgusted by the way I have been treated. Not only by all the scammers but by the way I was treated by whoever manages this site.

What a joke! You can't use features until you pay to unlock them, and once you sign up and cancel, there's nothing they will do about returning your money, even though I used the features for less than 24 HOURS. Do not sign up for premium. It's not worth it, and you won't get a refund if you don't like it. No free trial, just "pay a lot of money to try something but no refunds if you don't like it right away"?! BS. Paying for anything on this app isn't worth it. I didn't like anything about the "upgrade" - don't waste your money!

The women have all the attitude of Jennifer Lopez but all the looks of H1lary Clinton and that's the problem. Dreadful women having an attitude is completely ridiculous and this site is full of them

Very few can even be bothered to fill the biography section out. If they do, it's just complaints or demands.

The most depressing website I've ever seen in my life
