Those soulless turds at POF totally suck.! I was a member about 10 years ago, met someone, and deleted my profile. I went back on in 2020,at the end of covid. Wow.! Had it changed.! The search parameters are a complete waste of time. They won't let you narrow the radius to your location, I don't want to date someone 50-60 miles from me, let alone 150-300 miles.! Also, you can only send 1 message a day,since this bunch of losers were bought out by those grave robbing liar/scammers over at Match. Con That's right, Match.con for con artists. They will lie and scam you, by sayimg someone " likes " you, but don't believe it.
From looking at the profiles on there, I surmise most are fakes, and the ones that aren't, are scammers working for POF, or CHEATERS. The bottom line is, save your money, go out and meet someone you can SEE and TALK to in person. It's better than being catfished by these bottom feeders.

OK let's get this straight right from the start, POF is definitely not a scam site, I have used it for many years and have met some nice people and well.not so nice, it works or at least it did, I rejoined several months ago only to discover they've changed the format. So now it seems you can only send one message every 48 hours?unlike before where you had a decent message quota, I realise they want you to subscribe but It's supposed to be a free site and now it's just unusable and rubbish really
Shame

I have been on and off this site for a number of years. I just put a new profile on today. In the past you could write emails for free. Now they want to charge you to send email. The women are the same group of delusional losers that have been on there for years. Some more than 10. And POF expects a person to pay for that garbage. I'm curious. To the person who changed your policy. How much crack did you have to smoke to come up with this absurd, insane police to pay? I deleted my profile around 20 minutes after setting it up. POF should go the way of FTX. The trash bin of history.

POF continues to go downhill in quality, and at an alarmingly fast rate. They're essentially doing everything in their power to get users to pay for their ridiculous subscription. 99.9% of the users are bogus. The site is a complete and utter scam. Quantity over quality. The absolute worst dating app imaginable. They're desperate because they're no longer making money off of advertisements. Do not become a paying customer. You've been warned.

The POF site has a history of hosting fraudulent identities who've asked me personally for money- which I've Never done. However, with the nasty men and nasty comments that I block, they retaliate and I'm removed?! Lol- Classy Site…. Though Women never pay as they Need all of the help that can get…. POF likely needs to look around as they've competition and cannot afford unethical processes.

So rather than YOU get to choose the parameters of what you are looking for, POF's algorithm dictates what they will allow you to see. So let's say you're a man or woman that gets along with people 5-10 years younger than you. Nope. POF won't allow it. So you could be 35 and want a partner that's 26/27 but no. They say nope. So then they show you profiles that are 8-10 years older than you and NOTHING within your search parameters. So what's the point of having search parameters if they're going to dictate what you can or cannot look at? Then add in the fact that there are plenty of accounts using catfish images that have been circulating the dating app sites for years. They're "support" is also rather useless because you you ask "why can't I see profiles in my desired age range" they give you some dog and pony show about how THEY feel that the "best" relationships are within a specified range. This was not disclosed at the time of sign up and I want my $80 back you cheating bastages.

Plenty of fish was created and owned by Marcus friend and it used to be a great dating site 100% free to its members with no limitations. The match.com website purchase plenty of fish for Marcus friend for 1 million in 2017 since then plenty of fish is gone to $#*!. Marcus friend was smart enough to be happy with making $10,000 a day from Google ads. Apparently the $#*!s at match weren't happy with that so now their site is no longer free. Not only does plenty of fish now make $10,000 a day from Google ads but it only allows people to send one or two messages and then prompts or rather harasses to pay to upgrade do not waste your time with this app.

I purchased a 3-month membership there as that was the shortest membership you can get which is a negative. What looked like dozen of pages of women in my area became less than 3 pages when I joined, another negative. But the biggest negative by far - their search function doesn't allow you to search for all women on their site, only the age they regulate. So I can only search women 12 years younger than me or any older then me. I contacted support and they said that the site does that and it can't be overruled, something not mentioned before you join. So don't waste your time on POF.

Complete lack of profile validation. Limits on age range searches.

Pretty much the only good-looking people on the site are fake profiles that are trying to sext with you. There are a few decent-looking guys, if you can ever get through the hordes of fake profiles. By the time you are talking to a real man, you are completely cynical.

Also, you are pigeonholed by age group. So if you are a middle-aged woman (pretty much one of the target demographics), you can only search seven years below your age, but men twenty years older than you can view and like your profile. Meaning, lots of gross old dudes can look at you but you have a very limited inventory of decent men to look at... and most of the good-looking ones are fake profiles wanting to sext with you.

The POF messaging is this: If you are a very attractive, athletic, successful, intelligent middle-aged woman, you are out to pasture with men that can't get out of their Lazy Boy recliners.

Apparently, grown men and women need this company to dictate who they are allowed to be attracted to. Bumble is a million times better for women.

Full of really low class humans

Since when have overweight unattractive women who have tons of children been able to be picky? I've never seen such attitude and entitlement in my life. It's like a parallel universe

I lost count of the times I saw them say they weren't prepared to settle - newsflash they should be grateful for any man
Only online would they get away with this

Pof is full of Hobbits who all want a man who is perfect, great looking, 6foot tall etc despite the fact most of the women are unemployed, short, unattractive, have tons of baggage and brag how their children will always come 1st and how they love tattoos.

App deleted. Absolutely horrific.

I recently joined this site, but I'm glad I decided to delete my account on the same night, I've always enjoyed reading about people and how they explain who they are.
Unfortunately I can't believe how many female profiles look so desperate in finding a man, not to mention there weren't a lot of profiles where they were smiling either.
This site is owned by Match.com now, so no doubt it will be getting expensive..

I understand that you get what you pay forbut my Lord POF is bad. An endless stream of fake profiles is annoying but tolerable. My problem is that my profile was completely unusable. I had to reset my password every day, always reusing the same password, because it wouldn't let me login, I couldn't send emails, my pics kept disappearing are just a few problems. I emailed POF for 9 days and got no response, They really don't give a crap. I laughingly received a notice to stop soliciting even though I couldn't send an email. It may be free but its still not worth it,

Any man on there that has asked for my # this year? Always turned out to be a scammer asking for money. When chatting for a while u wanna meet? Dude has excuses that " leaving town/dog died/pipes burst"? Not to mention, lures u off to try to con u for money. Married men on there posting fake pix it's ok. Some post pix of dolls it's okay. I tell a dude I don't want to give out my #? I get flagged and my account gets deleted. It's gotten worse everyday. I prob got better luck writing to serial rapist in jail stay away!

All the women are either snobs or depressed etc I haven't blocked by these snobs more times than i can count. If you are a shy guy like me its you'll get more bang for your buck (pardon the punt) by seeking social therapy and seeing a psychologist and learn how to be social in public to meet people, or join social groups.
P. S
Get off social media

One message I received told me I was too short, she was 5,4 but only dated men 6 foot plus and I was 5'11, another one said I was a toxic star sign, another wanted men who only had hand tattoos. Imagine being that picky

The website has been jazzed up but doesn't make no odds, its not the site its the class of people it attracts that is the problem

The women love to complain the men is full of pervs, timewasters and oddballs and maybe it is but look at their stuff.
They make no effort, they cant be bothered to fill their page out and tell you to ask, they cant even put what their interests are, the photographs are either upside down, years old or just strange. Why would I want to talk to someone who is too lazy to fill a profile out?
If you actually do find someone to talk to they either have an attitude or they cant even hold a conversation and use emojis or just say LOL all the time

I have never come across such a poor quality of woman in my life

Having recently changed their format I can no longer refine my search by age and distance. This means that I get shown women who live miles away who are about the same age as my children! Wake u[ POF and get it sorted unless of course there are so few members that Half the searches would show that nobody is a match.

They allow 1 message a day. Be careful they also have fake accounts messaging you and sending likes when it's actually accounts set up by the company to scam you to pay and see it. Pof has become one of the worst sites out of them all. Try others don't waste your time on here
