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.

Unfortunately, it looks like this company has some political views, and discriminates accordingly. After about 8 years of my on-and-off relationship with POF, my account was canceled w/out any explanation.
Dont waste your money.
The disappointments are boundless, they start with the devious way the site steals money and refuses to refund, then it just gets worse with fake profile after fake profile.
Go to a reputable site, stay away from POF.COM.
Don't do it they are not worth the time. I warned you. They want too much info. They are rubbish don't do it.!
I wish PoF would stop sending me msgs saying someone liked me. The individual hadn't even seen my profile!
It doesn't give you the opportunity to pay monthly Another thing is the limitations that are placed when we sign up... you really can not utilize the site. A person could feel bullied with those constant flags to subscribe. That turns me off before I get the chance to give my opinion. Why don't you offer 15 days of service then give people an option to subscribe or cancel.
I am a single male and have used POF on and of with out a photo of myself, I have had issues signing on over the years, asking for my phone number to verify it all the time.
Lately I have been asked for a photo to respond to females, I have noticed a lot of profiles male and especially the female ones do not have photos so why me a male, is it because there are more males on there $$$. Any how every time I have had a problem I have had to explain to POF staff over and over, they take to long to answer emails always saying a lot of people asking for help( why would that be?, the BS we as clients have to put up with while they line their pockets with cash).
Anyhow enough is enough I have cancelled my membership after many years their reaction to this? Could not give a stuff and asked if they wanted to do it for me, I asked them to cancel it and am still waiting for it to happen and still getting matches which I have going into my deleted box now. Never go back to POF again, there are other free dating sites out there as I have discovered.
Dont even deserve a 1 star minimum rating.
LIke all sites structured to compel expending money, always on part of men. Huge percentage of scam/fake profiles (quickly obvious once you spot the pattern of pictures that don't match age accompanied by generic profile text - suspect large number of prostitutes)... remainder are mostly highly unsuitable persons (appearance, age, circumstances). And beware - unlike other sites, this one has real customer service, forces you to pay for three months up front for the "premium" account (which is all but required in order to even try to use the site), and there are no refunds. Jordan Peterson and others have advised single men not to use these sites - now I know why.
Lots of females lie about their age. For example They say they're 32 but then you see them admit they're really 45 and don't want to date anyone their own age. Photos from 2016 as well aren't much use either
Its just a conveyor belt of single mums with tats who say " my children always come first" and women who are still waiting for prince charming and demanding men well out their League. Tbh they should be happy to get any man with the way they look
They aren't the brightest either. They still cant work out why they can only send one message a day and every single profile says the same thing "can't see likes". Change the record or pay to see them, I don't want to read your complaining about it
What Bull$#*!, I used this site a couple of years ago, And did not need a cell phone in order to have a account on there site, Now when i tried to signup, All at once after i had most of my info put in, It shows to put in a phone number, It was not showing that, It had to be a cell phone number, After i put in my phone number, iI click on to next, It shows a message, They will send you a text, To me this is Dissemination, Agrainst people who are low income earners, And can, t afford to have a cell phone, No other dating site that i have signup to, Has that policy that you need a cell phone in order to have a account on there site, They should be reported to Human Rights, And charged for dissemination, I am going to be reporting, Them to Human rights,
It's basically a site for men to just hook up for sex, I'm very disappointed Never would recommend POF
It advertises as a "free" site. Then all they want is money and more money so you can see al their fake profiles.
There are more strippers, porn stars, and whores on POF than there are normal women honestly looking for a date. It is a complete waste of money to become a paying member. And their free service is useless.
Cant believe how full of it the women are on POF
Demands left right and center from them yet some of the worst specimens i have ever seen in my entire life
If you are a guy you are wasting your time on there, nothing but the dregs that other men wont touch with a bargepole
You have women in their late 40s demanding you must be over 6foot to message them. In return you get a 5'3 single mum with tattoos who has an attitude and has seen much better days
Not a chance
Same bunch of zero's in 2022 as 2020, major waste of time. You have a better chance winning the lotto for millions of dollars or maybe a nice two week vacation on the moon before you meet anyone on this trash app.
It's handled by it's administrators like it's the last thing they wanna do in life. This is because in it's early stages it achieved an enormous success and so it's custodians didn't bother to maintain its integrity and took the following members lightly.
Online dating the only place where unattractive women can be picky
The women really are full of it but I'm guessing that is because of simps messaging them all the time.
It seems the more unattractive they are the bigger the ego they have. How does that make sense?
Its pretty obvious every woman regardless of how fugly she is will be snowed with messages under from desperate men
No way I'm trying to compete with other guys for women especially when they're only 2/10 at best.
What a dreadful standard of women. Zero class, all overweight and unattractive but worst of all they are nasty rude and entitled. The strangest thing is they act like they are all hot stuff despite having more tattoos than teeth
This site is too controlling of what pics I can post of MYSELF, but allows Fakes and scammers to post. I was shocked when the search button would NOT allow me to search at a SLIGHTLY younger age group, thereby limiting a broader group of women to search.
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.
