Too picky and too bitter
September 12, 2022

The women all want a perfect guy but why would anyone even half perfect want anything to do with them?

99% are unattractive overweight -covered in tattoos and have multiple children out of wedlock, but most importantly of all they're not nice people, there's no happiness or kindness in their profiles they are just bitter. Most are way, way past their best yet act like they're still 23.

Most can't even be bothered to to fill their profile out and tell you to ask. They spend more time telling you they can't see likes than filling out their bio.

It is literally the bottom 5% society has to offer who believe they're entitled to the top 5% of men. Absolutely insane behavior

I recommend you play pof bingo,

Can't see likes
My kids will always come first
Make me laugh
I'm independent and don't need a man
Can't see likes
I know my worth
Not prepared to settle
Photos up only of their round face
Where is my prince charming?
Did i mention they can't see likes?
Photos from 2017
Lying about their age to get a younger man

POF Dating (Free Version)
September 4, 2022

Looking for a date on POF is like sawing off your big toe with a rusty dull knife. Terrible. I have tried repeatedly on the site to no avail. DONT WASTE YOUR time. One guys message to me was one word: S@#T. It is very disturbibg on the site Like you are communicating with one human who is the biggest idiot in the world.

Let's call it how it is
Full of women who are about 360lb have 5 children all out of wedlock, 8 tattoos and are about a 2/10.
Problem is they all think they're a 9 or 10/10 and have lost touch with reality since they went online. This behavior wouldn't be tolerated offline

They make zero effort to be friendly or kind in their bio and either tell you to ASK them or just list a lot of unrealistic demands in their profile

You have ZERO chance of meeting even a half decent woman. They're all bitter damaged and unpleasant who spend all their time saying they can't see likes. You would think in their late 30s 40s they would know better,, apparently not. They want everything and offer nothing

I recommend you play pof bingo,

Can't see likes
My kids will always come first
Make me laugh
I'm independent and don't need a man
Can't see likes
I know my worth

Scammer's Paradise
August 28, 2022

This site is full of people pretending to be someone they're not. I've been on it for about 6 weeks and most of the people I've communicated with prove not to be who they say they are when take the time to check their photos. I've posted an example but there have been more, this guy was the mist prolific. His photos actually appeared in 3 different places under 3 different names. I certainly would not pay to be on this site.

Full of single mums who love to say 'my children will always come first', why do they feel the need to say this? Not only does it not need saying but just puts men off, who wants to be number 2 in a relationship. And let's be honest if they were really that important to them why aren't they still with the dad?

They are also very large but they use the word curvy instead lol yet expect to find a man who is talk dark and handsome. They need to get real

Oh and at least half of the profiles are fake

What a joke
August 22, 2022

No real men, just a lot of fakes, scammers, catfishers, or just simply lazy men looking for a new home,. And never have I seen so many men using filters on their photos,( and you guys complain about women doing this? Ha Ha) or a refreshed photo that's 20 years old. There has to be something better

Most of the profile headlines are incredibly negative such as "Cant see likes" or "Why Do I bother?" or demanding such as "Make me Laugh!" "Cheats Liars Fakes keep away! That's the quality of women you dealing with on POF

The about me bio section isn't much better, most just say? Or put |"Ask". Imagine thinking that's appropriate. I don't know if its because they are lazy or dumb or just because they know men will message them regardless but its a terrible look if you cant be bothered to put anything. The ones that filled it in either complained or just said they like going out and staying in

One profile summed it up, she was late 40's and very average looking indeed, she said that there has to be s~~ual attraction when she looked at your pics and if there wasn't any she wouldn't reply. Imagine thinking that's an appropriate thing to put. The irony being was I doubt many men would have found her attractive, the delusion and entitlement factor is ridiculous

Without the internet these woman couldn't be so rude and picky

No women without kids
August 20, 2022
Updated review

I have no kids and no family. Found women who have 9 grandkids were interested in me, but found in my age bracket there were only 53 women without kids or grandkids. Even had one not attractive woman in my age bracket tell me I was limiting myself by asking for a woman with no kids and no grands as they are called on their. Gee, I am the one who paid for the membership? After 2 months of getting matched up with smokers as I quit in 83 and having young women in their 20's saying they were 50-60's I deleted it today. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Waste of time and money
June 16, 2022
Previous review

I have been on this site when it was owned by Markus? Now that Match owns its a waste of money and time. I thought one last time and got a 1 year membership for $120. I found the same people with the same pics from 7 years ago. Most have their messaging disabled meaning you have to like them or can't send a message at all. I have also found a ton of young women posting their ages 30-40 years older than what you can see in their profile. It might be OK for younger people, but its scary how many women my age or younger have more wrinkles than a bad pair of pants.

Oooh, and why can't you read other ppl's reviews?! POF are a bunch of F-ING LIARS! You click on Live Customer Support, and it asks the questions for you. You have list to choose from. I HARDLY consider that "LIVE" Customer Support. Nothing pisses me off more than a FAKE-$#*! Company! I went to log into my account, that has had the EXACT SAME Password that it's had since I made the acct, and POF Stupid f-ing Stundos are TELLIING ME. The owner of the acct, that my password is WRONG! UMM, NO! It isn't. Your website just has soooo many f-king glitches in it. It's probably not recognizing it b/c #1 I haven't logged in in a while, and #2 ur admins are as stupid as the site itself! If I would have ACTUALLY been ABLE to chat with a LIVE AGENT. Like POF SAYS YOU CAN. This issue would've been resolved in about 3-minutes! BUT NO. Those fk-ing BONEHEADS want u to send them a "message" where they pick out the fk-ing questions and answers FOR YOU. Like you're too $#*!ED to type what you want to say in the empty, but blocked-greyed out box PROVIDED, but can't fk-ing TYPE ANY LETTERS IN IT! STUPID FKS!

So I tried Plenty of Fish after several of years being off of this site. I was so disappointed to see so many fake profiles. Pictures included of some of these. It's funny that a site says they have so many members just to gain ranking but in all reality if they took away 50% of the fake profiles the site would be a total flop on ratings.

Absolutely rotten
August 13, 2022

Spoke to a woman who messaged me using text talk and who said my sport I liked was boring, absolutely no chat or concept of creating a decent first impression. After that I deleted the app

The standard is low, really really low. I think it's the bottom 10% of women all searching for only the top 10% of men. The women seem to lack intelligence, beauty and kindness. They do however posses plenty of baggage, weight and attitude

Oh and there's about 500 men chasing after every woman and half the profiles are blatantly fake. Good luck you'll need it fellas

I would sooner be single than go online dating again

They took my money but when I went to unhide my profile it won't let me. I called POF and the lady on the phone was ghetto, nasty and told me she would delete my profile. I had to call apple for a refund- hope it goes through because I will fight these creeps! Don't sign up for this one- or try and co tact them before you do- smoke in mirrors!

There must be 500 men for every woman so they get totally overrun with messages from desperate guys.

The problem is that the women are all of an absolutely dreadful standard. The real undateables, But they get so many messages they think they are a catch and develop an attitude. They are all 2s yet with all the attention they start thinking they are 10s and want a 10 themselves. It really is pitiful tbh.

Never seen anything so pathetic in my life

Neither Good Nor Bad
August 2, 2022

I am 70, male, have a degree, widowed, physically fit and financially secure (I put this in my profile). I have been on and off POF about 5ish years. I work and my work takes me out of town thus I don't have the phone app nor do I want it so I use my home laptop... anyhoo, I have met/dated appx. 10+ women on POF. I have never had a bad experience, never met a woman that did not look similar to her photos (maybe a few pounds more or a little older) however fortunately no horror stories to tell. It normally is chatting on the site followed by exchanging text numbers, then texting, then talking then meeting. By then you should have a gut feeling if all is on the up and up.

SCAM
July 29, 2022

POF is filled with fake pics, fake profiles, bots, and scammers.
In fact, I feel certain that POF employees make the fake profiles and then chat with
People to try to get us to spend more money. The reason I say this is because it was IMPOSSIBLE to get anyone to meet in person... they always had a million excuses as to why they couldn't meet.
What a horrible waste of time and money.
