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.

Want your pic but will not let u make contact unless u pay. Total bull$#*!. What more do u idiots want to know?
I met the love of my life on pof on here in 2018 we are happy together now for over 3 years happy amd married
They warn you on their sites to be aware of scammers. But they are the ones doing most of the scamming. My friend used to work for them that I talked to in another country. She told me that they have large offices set up with 100 computers or more and higher poor people for starving and have no money and need money to feed their children to send up the computers and scam people on POF they tricked them and get money from them they claim they're a good dating site but they're not
The females want you to ignore the fact they are past their best and have numerous children, they want you to ignore the fact they aren't very nice people and can't string a sentence together and want only the top 5 % of men to contact them. You must be good looking, 6 foot tall and be rich to get a reply. Do they really think a top 5% man is going to be on here and why would he message them?
Why is it they all want to settle down and find a good man now they're all carrying extra weight, have children and are in their 40s? Why didn't they want a good man 20 years ago when they were attractive and had no children? Why didn't they want Mr right then,?
It's the only site where unattractive unpleasant females can be choosy.
Uninstalled the app, the standard of women is horrendous
I live in Bergen County NJ, was on pof several years ago, met nice ladies. And free subscription. Can't see why anyone would ever need to pay. Had as many meet & greets as I could handle; calling & meeting was never an issue.
I've been on 4 months. For past 2 months, the site has been worthless. Endless fake profiles, and endless profiles with same photos I recall seeing over 5 years ago. Suspicious that many profiles with attractive photos of women are pof operatives, in other words, fake profiles designed to lure you. However. I've never paid for a pof subscription. But my free account is no longer active. I deleted my profile.
I joined POF because I was hoping to possibly meet the "One" from the hundreds of local profiles on the Site. Unfortunately as soon as I signed up I began conversing with what I thought was a attractive lady from Chesapeake who matched quite a few of the qualities I was looking for in a potential GF. Shortly after we began texting the individual on the other end of the computer requested I talk with them thru Google Chat... but once we began chatting on Google it was very apparent that the person I was conversations with was lying and was not who the profile said they were. To make this short... I Spoke with 3 more people on the site who also turned out to be Fake.
I finally deleted my profile because I have no desire to Cast my Pole into a pond of Scammers. I fault the People who run POF for not making it more difficult for these fake profiles to be created and operate on their site.
I hate to give anybody a bad review but, I was on plenty of fish probably 10 or 12 years ago and it was pretty good. Now it's all this live stuff for you talk to people and send them gifts(monetary), And roses and things and the really bad part is anytime you find somebody you think is interesting and write them they automatically block you. This tells me they work for plenty of fish and they're just trying to keep you interested to re-sign up every six months. It really sucks, total rip off
I've been quite active on POF for 4 years now & I always kept 3k credits on my profile to gift streamers on versus & barely used the credits & one day I woke up to 400 credits left remaining on my account... I never gifted anyone 2600 credits & would never gift anyone that much but I cannot seem to figure out why my credits have disappeared; I just know that I WASN'T HACKED... THIS A POF ISSUE!... PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS PLENTY OF FISH APP PEOPLE
Today is 9 October 2022. My last POF review was in June 2022. The site has drastically changed in those 4 months. I noticed that appx. 85% of women have "disabled their chat feature" i. E. you can not send them a message of any type. Also, once you attempt to contact a woman who has not disabled her chat feature, a screen pops up and in order to send a message, you must now pay. Big Change! Guess I'm finished with POF. Please see attached photo's delineating my above comments.
This app is a piece of crap. There is so many fake profiles on this site. Its not worth it. & on top of it you can only send one message per 24hrs... $#*! off POF! You suck big fat extra long hairy dirty $#*! FY!
Stop playing for this bull$#*! $#*! site nobody is serious and there's way to many scammers. POF wants to charge to see who viewed you now and it's not worth it considering they'll lock your account with no reason behind it. Go out in public to meet people. Stop wasting your time here
Unfortunately took my $ and received emaiL
The text conversations within POF were fraudulent. Scammers And no one from POF had a Customer service number or security number… What a joke don't let them take your money
Charges start at $29.99 per month. Ok. God bless. But OH HELL! I'm having issues with preferred distance of where to meet guys. No technical help yet. I have reported and blocked over 35 so called men for scams, catfish, fake accounts! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY THERE! BEING THERE, I HAVE LOST THE REST OF MY TRUST IN MEN!
I'm happy Plenty of Fish gave me my refund back 100% like they said guaranteed if you're not happy it's not their fault it's the women LOL
The females spend way too much time complaining they can't see likes and not enough time filling the profile out properly. Do they not realize every other woman is saying the same about likes, it's boring. They prefer to spend the vital first impression complaining rather than be funny or friendly. Not a great start.
Even if you get likes and match if you message they'll just ignore you or if they reply they're only capable of one word replies
The vast majority just come across as unattractive, unhappy, unintelligent, unbalanced and undateable with tons of issues. They have all seen better days too
Of course despite all that they all expect the man of their dreams
Don't waste valuable time on this app. O stars
Now I can only message one non-match every twenty-four hours? And they give the same message when I try to message someone who is a match? They're still not as pathetic as okcupid, but they're getting there fast.
I've been using this site, for years now. I'm 28 and I've been on pof since I was 20 years old. I've had plenty of dates over the years but I have to say the options are horrible. Women are not attractive and want men who are perfect. 80 percent of the women have a few kids and are overweight. Honestly I wish I just spoke to women in real life. Thinking back over the years there were plenty of women who were interested I just didn't realize it. Just try your luck in real life. I know women nowadays can be intimidating but your better off. Best of luck.
Hey POF, what gives you the right to block so many members from one another? You don't ask about income levels. There are way too many people not for you according to POF. NOT COOL!
POF staff is comprised of nothing more that racist, sociopathic, lying sewage water weirdos who sit around all day discriminating against profiles made by people of color. If they put this same amount of focus and energy in monitoring all of the trash on their site, they wouldn't have so many negative comments regarding not just the members but specifically the "handlers" named Markus running it.
I can't believe this site is real. It's like the Twilight Zone where everything is back to front
Take all the things in the world that turn men off. Lack of kindness, lack of class, lack of femininity, unpleasantness, entitlement, being obese( plus-sized curvy as they call it) smoking a lot, having a shedload of children and being covered in tattoos as well as having no personality at all or sense of humour yet expecting the man to be perfect
Then see these women say things like I can't believe I'm doing this~ Make me laugh ~ How would you impress me? Like they're doing you a favour
I would love to see these woman try to act like this offline. They would be laughed out the bar, yet online they've actually convinced themselves they are princesses. It's absolutely insane. If you think I'm joking Check it out. It's horrendous x20
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.
