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.

I'm 18 saying and it's pretty gross how the guys act even if ur friendly, the amount of men who desperately wanted me to be 13/14 so they could use me like a s*x doll cus that's how they acted and I blocked them! It made me feel disgusted with myself and who I am because i would never ever date someone into children this app has a lot of them and the amount of guys who wanted me to be honest and say my real age and i did but when I did they'd write 'oh that's hot if u sneak out to come see me or baby u don't gotta lie if ur younger it's all good :) haha' I'm 18! Who tf preys on kids? POF men of all ages from 18-55 hmu on some big weird energy I ended up getting deleted for suspected minor and thats nottt rite i had over 100+ msgs and I didn't act rude or be shallow my photos was aesthetically pleasing so why? Also no one that msg me seemed to care about what i needed it felt really one sided and lusty and I remember when i was a silly 16 year old on dating app just for jokes I met amazing men
Just to turn 18 finally and think I'll be able to fall in love, a lot of them didn't care about what i wanted in a relationship
It was just "im not looking for a relationship rn but i do need to get laid" and I'm not anyone's side never the day! I'm very pretty my face is just childish a bit small and cute so everything they said they liked about me it just became sexual real fast and I didn't understand why they couldn't even talk but they speak in actions and that's not for me, forever alone im done with apps, i wanna meet some irl frfr

I get it, you're slim just like real fish, thanks for living up to your fake standards, real people looking for real relationships and you continually fail to deliver. My first experience online dating and I get this pile of scales. You have truly proven yourselves as a top notch crap show.

Useless
February 26, 2023

Full of single mums who can't wait to tell you that their children will always come first. If that's really the case then why are none of them still with the original father of the child(ren)? They expect you to be happy coming #2 in a relationship but want you to give your all.

You'll also be competing with hundreds of men for the attention of a woman who if you saw in the real world you wouldn't give a second glance to, yet on POF they act like they're some supermodel

Oh, and there's ton of fakes on there as well.

I'll stick to the real world

FULL OF SCAMMERS
February 25, 2023

Used to be a good website to chat up fat women. There aren`t even ugly girls on there now, only bots and fake profiles. The few real profiles are women with inflated egos who think they are a $25 whopper at the airport.

VERY POOR, LOW QUALITY
February 18, 2023

Women are all in their 30s and 40s all saying they want to find 'the one'. Yet they refuse to upgrade to see likes (which they ALL say they can't see btw) surely If you were serious about finding 'the one' you'd make an effort?

The few profiles that are filled in say the exact same thing. Family friends and children will always come first and they're all very independent. They all like going out and staying in. *YAWN*

Lots of them have been on POF that long waiting for 'the one' they should be charged rent.

Quite frankly It's full of women that are just not very pleasant people, inside or out. - that's why they're single

These scammers ask for my number in there very first message. Pof is full of scammers. There's more scammers on the site, then their is real people. Why can't you do a better job moderating. The app has gone to complete $#*!. 8 out of 10 profiles are fake, people trying to get your number or direct you to another site so they can scam you. I literally have went through about 25 fake scammer profiles in the last 30 minutes on here. WHAT A JOKE! I counted 19 fake profiles in a row back to back, while browsing, before i found 1 that i believe was real. I found 2 that i think might have been legit so far. Pof used to, years ago be good and there was actually real people on it that you could meet an not get scammed, but now because you can't do your job correctly, the app is 99% scammers, all trying to scam you. How did you let your app be taken over by scammers? These scammers post there headline on there profile saying blowjob.com or some other sexual induendo trying to take you to another sex site where they can scam you. Plenty of fish doesn't care about there people or their safety at all. Should be called ( PLENTY OF SCAMMERS) I'm leaving and going to match.com or E harmony. I will gladly pay for a quality and legit app with real people then use this app for free. Nothing but scammers and fake profiles.
I can't imagine your making any money off the app because who would pay to talk to fake people and willingly offer themselves up to be scammed, proboly from some foreign people from Bangladesh or something. Definitely going to leave this review for plenty of fish online, in the hopes that it will help people in the future who ever think about using the site.

What a waste! I've met lots of 'matches', but I'd say 3 out of 5 are fake profiles. Additionally it apparently doesn't matter what parameters you put in, you're going to get a grab bag of suggestions who aren't in your area, are too old or too young or plain fakes. Save your $$$

POF only allows you 3 messages per day unless you want to pay $12 per month.

That's all you need to know. It's complete garbage compared to pretty much anything.

Nothing but catfish

I tried this app for 2 months and the only people that messaged me wanted money, when I called them out, they reported me and had my account deleted! I think the whole system is a scam!

Waste of time
February 12, 2023

There is no reason for any male to be on POF. Over 80% of the female profiles have disabled messaging. It is a stupid concept for a dating site. People get on them to meet not just look at pictures and not be able to actually talk. And there are the many scammers and dead profiles..

I've been on the site for many months. I made a mistake at ever going on this site. Black men create profiles and pose as white men in the pictures. They create a white mans face and list them under African American.

I'm not opposed to dating outside my race but not on that website. They are dishonest and it quite obvious, POF doesn't staff enough people on their own to stop this. You end up doing the work for POF should do in removing fake profiles. They are 16th on the list of dating sites for a reason. You couldn't pay me to use this site.

They should be called Catfish not Plenty of Fish
February 4, 2023

Waste of money! Wish I would have read the reviews before signing up!
This site is horrible! It's filled with catfish and fake profiles. Not only that if you try and block someone Plenty of Fish doesn't block them and continues to show up in your feed!

Get ready to see "can't see likes " as headline for virtually every female profile on there. It's just really unoriginal & a terrible first impression but they don't seem to care about that

Large numbers of truly undesirable and unpleasant females lacking social skills on their phones demanding that only the hottest guys message them.

Profiles are either full of ridiculous demands or blank and say "ask" or in "fill in later".

The only good thing was the log out button.

Dating App Scam
January 29, 2023

Just finishing up a 3 month subscription with POF. This one has been the worst out of the 5 or 6 top ones out there.
8 out of 10 profiles are fake. It's over run with the intent to scam the match for money.
They also show too many profiles of customers that haven't logged on to their accounts in years. They don't honor your preferences for age or distance. There's not any quality in the images they post.
I was able to get the trust out of many of the clients, to only be told with voice, and with looking at pictures they texted me, that they were in the UK, and are very young black boys. Scammers!
