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.

You get one message a day and every time you message someone they want money for prostitution or drugs they give you that one message and if you message a fake profile your screwed for 24 hours till you can message again this app is a scam just like Joe biden
I set my profile so that nobody who over 40, no one who has children or is overweight or smokes could contact me. For some reason these undesirables were still able to message, what's the point if they ignore your preferences?
I don't recommend as it's full of undesirables, the worst thing though is they act like they are all deserving of a great man. Their attitudes are simply appalling, you only have to see their profiles to see they've watched too many films where the princess gets the prince and believe that's what they can get.
Trust me there are no princesses on POF, not even close
Ps get ready to constantly see "can't see likes" ad nauseam, they all want to find Mr Right on the cheap
It's fair to say 25 years ago the people on POF now would have been lucky to get a date at all in the real world. They're not very ladylike
Now thanks to the explosion of online dating you have women that are should just be grateful to get any attention actually being picky and making demands as to what kind of guy they want. Well done to the simps messaging them.
I have no interest in messaging anyone on POF. You can just tell by their profiles that they revel in drama and constant arguments. Having 20 tattoos isn't very feminine either
You definitely wouldn't take any of them to meet your mom that's for sure.
I felt slightly scammed like they are baiting you by hiding your matches, then charge quite a bit if you purchase a plan - and will not offer refunds if the site doesn't meet your needs. They rejected my request for a refund. Get the Chargeback app and they provide a form letter for POF - I got a refund confirmation within 24 hours.
I really like this app. It's one of the few that lets you see who is online, and it's quite easy to use. I've been using it for years and have met some great people through it.
Just signed up today and I get 1 first contact message free in 24 hours. They have to have some mental issues if they think thats ok. NOBODY should have to pay for a dating website with how many fake accounts are active on these platforms and its hard for me to believe that POF, whos been around for about 15 years now, hasnt been making money and HAS to do these drastic things to their free users to push them into premium memberships, which are absolutely worthless because most of the accounts you will interact with are fake. I havent checked recently but their restrictions for men and women were different a few years ago when I made an account of each. Women had the ability to send more messages and see if their messages were read but men didnt. I imagine theyre still imposing these sorts of sexist rules as well as men are more likely to pay for dating sites.
You can not advertise free websit than demand subscription payments for features it free that's what you advertise the fbi have been contacted for faster advertising and black mail you must shout down the website this is mandatory for all 52 states us it federal law so $#*! you $#*!
They ban people for no reason. It's a joke. Everyone lies. I don't even know why they kicked me out.
WELL THIS SITE MADE ME SEE IM GAY LOL. LOL IF U LOOKINN FOR CHICKS NOT YOUR PLACE. LOL. GO OUT MEET SOMEONE
Full of awful females with awful attitudes. All of them act like they're movie stars and will accept nothing less than someone tall dark and handsome even though they're the exact opposite!
Its about a million to one of you finding a decent nornal woman on POF.
Everyone so hairy,shabby,dirty-looking,ratty,raggedy with nasty things to say,living outside or in a trailer.One has a photo that's at least 10 yes old.They don't read what YOU WANT...they only see a pretty face and what they want.They put words in your mouth.They ASSume.The majority are just super ugmo.
I wish I could give it zero stars. Too many bots and average looking women think they're models. POF also wants you to pay for a membership before you even get a chance to test the waters, until then you're dead in said waters.
When I just got into this app I was able to send up to 20 first contact messages per day and I made the huge mistake of upgrading my account for 1 month because I liked the additional benefits, but those benefits lasted for one, but at day 2 it limited me to 1 message every 24 hours and prevented me to message when someone else like me back. I contact the "help" team by email interacting with a different rep every day and having to explain myself over and over again and all of them gave me the same answer suggested me to upgrade. They never read or pay attention to my issue and never got resolved. Is not about the 19.99 I paid, is the horrible experience I had and how frustrating is when there is no effort from pof to resolve the issue. Suggestion. DO NOT UPGRADE
This site is a total scam you pay and if you get likes you have to pay more they have no phone contact no don't waste your money or time
Don't waste your money or time. All the profiles are inactive or spam. There are no actual people on this site interested in dating. I am considering contacting a lawyer and initiating a class action law suite since POF is charging you to browse fake profiles & not providing an opportunity to interact with other members.
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.
This site should be called Plenty of Catfish! There are more scammers and catfish on this site then actual people. It's a complete waste of money. Additionally there's no where to put the type of preferences you want in a mate. There is also no customer service to call everything is done via email.
Save yourself some time and money and steer clear of this site.
TNY TIME I SIGN IN THEY HACK MY COMPUTER. THE PROFILE ON THIS SITE ARE ALL FAKE AND THE ONES THAT ARE NOT FAKE ARE NOT WORTH LOOKING AT.
THEY ARE PLAYING GAMES NOT LETTING YOU SIGN IN WITHOUT A LOT OF VERSIFICATION AS IF THEY WERE YOUR BANK. A WASTE OF YOUR TIME. THE WORST HACKERS AND SCUM BAGS
There site is to hard to navigate for most people. Canceling or getting your money back. Not happing. Scam yes they give you the run a round. At the end nothing. They are into screwing yes people who sign up. Meeting someone not here. Keep away from this site. If you want to get screwed sine up.
The "dating" site is full of the worst possible humans imaginable. Full of independent "curvy" one parent families all with tattoos and a truly horrible cynical outlook on both life and men. It's little wonder they are single.
If you do find anyone attractive/down to earth and normal you can guarantee their messaging will be disabled so you can't contact them.
The other 99.99% of them are truly the worst the gene pool has to offer. If you think I'm exaggerating then go take a look. You won't stay on there long. Full of time wasters fakes and attention seeking drama queens
You get what you pay for in life. Pof is free.
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.
