If you are expecting to find the woman of your dreams you will have a long wait
Just rammed full of single mums, women who are way past their best yet still want a guy who is way out their league. I just laughed when I saw women in their 40s say they only want someone is is 6'3 tall dark handsome and are willing to wait as they know their worth. Entitlement is off the charts
Even on the headline they are incredibly negative with things like are all men cheats? Either that or they are complaining they cant see likes and dont have meet me, they could pay to see but wont or they could easily find out who clicked like but either cant be bothered or are too dumb. I got so tired of reading cant see likes message me that I gave up
Most profiles are blank and say? Or fill in later, the rest are full of childish demands or toxic negativity just whining about how bad everything is and how all men are really terrible. It hasnt crossed their minds to try and be happy and cheerful in the profile
Almost every person on this site is a liar and is not the profile they say they are they are on your scam and steal your money like they've done mine and so many others one person on this site could be 50 and usually are you do not find love on this app you find either people who steal your money or people that want to sell their body which is all good if they're making their money if they want to sell their body but when you're stealing people's hard-earned money you're a piece of s*** and that's what you find on POF Plenty of Fish it's a joke they've taken people for thousands they're allowed to use Google workspace phone numbers and they will hack your information as soon as you let them in to your private life
I talked to 15 different women all were fake all red but exact same script to me word for word and they also only asked me to send them money in the form of cryptocurrency
About 12 years ago this site was pretty cool. Lots of ladies. I really liked it. Came back recently it's totally changed. Many fake profiles and what's with the "live" crap? It's like they are trying to be Reddit or only fans or twitch. Lost the plot. Oh well there's always tinder I guess. Or I could just hang myself
The women should buy tickets on themselves they believe they are so great. I swear 95% must be single mums who says my children will always come first - what bloke wants to read that?
Its really basic low quality on offer yet they seem to think they are high in demand and hot stuff, it doesnt make sense
I got a lot of meet me requests and they either didnt reply to me when we matched or if you started chatting they had no chat at all and seemed to have an IQ of about 80. There seems to be lot of low intelligence angry ladies on there who seem to think Prince Charming is going to come rescue the,
I looked up the company and it seems that it was bought out by someone in Columbia. I can't believe I fell for this. I tried to sign into the site online to resolve my issue with hackers and they gave me a fake name and password that I have never used. You cannot sign in with this password.
Now it charges to send more than 1 message a day, I would avoid. Full of scam and fake accounts, which when free wasn't too bad, but now don't waste your time or money.
You used to be able to send 25 messages a day. Now for some reason it only lets you send 1 highlighted message a day and the send message has gone and you have to pay to send more. I hope this is the case for everyone
That's good as it'll mean the desperate men wont be able to flood the women with mail and they'll realise how picky they're being when the men only get one message a day they will have to use it wisely
Ps why do they all want to settle down and find a genuine man now they have 4 children in tow? Why didn't they find a good man before they had children?
99% on here are either single mums/overweight or just unattractive. They can't get a date in the real world that's why they're on pof
They all seem to have an atrociously entitled attitude with absolutely no conversational skills yet seem to think can hold out for a mega hot guy with banter,
They say they are all LOOKING FOR A SPARK. Are they in the real world?
Don't they realise a spark has to be reciprocal for it to work and there's no chance judging by the state of them. #Deluded
That leaves 1% that are okay. I spoke to a lady who had received 600 messages in 4 days. That says it all.
That's the only thing I've talked to I'm certain. Scammed, fake profiles, Transvestites, men hitting on me even tho I'm designated strait. It's a pathetic atrocious site.
If you look up dominategoddes from Pa she mentions pegging. Aka where a male takes a strap on anally. It should be noted that this pertains to sex. Check out her profile. It shpu; dnt be allowed
Full of females who are probably 3|10 at the very best, yet somehow act like they are 10|10 models. That's the problem and why this online will never work. If they accepted they are 3s not 10s maybe they would get a date.
They talk about 'refusing to settle' and how they 'know their worth' and other nonsense they've read in a magazine. They also like to say how if they don't reply it's because you're not their type. I found it quite sad to see such hostile attitudes and picky women who really had no right to demand anything. They want too much and offer too little... Sorry not for me
Most of these have a longest relationship of a year which is quite revealing in itself
They all seem to have tons of offspring, smoke, have more tattoos than sailors and are out of shape (or plus size as they say) yet expect the guy to be absolutely perfect! It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone
I guarantee this is an online thing. If the women tried to pull all this entitlement stuff in a bar they'd get laughed out the place.
Remember online isn't the real world
POF is loaded with fake profiles and Nigerian scammers. You're lucky if 5% of the women on POF are real. Use POF at your own risk, because you'll get scammed.
First off, Plenty Of Fish is not everybody's mother. I find that the people that run the website limits who gets to message who by putting a age limit range and I find that you cannot message anybody around 10-15 years older or younger than yourself. Also what bothers is that POF is so easy to listen and believe in the little complaints and hand out easy profile deletion and ban very quickly without giving warnings.
I wouldn't bother evening filling out a profile
All the messages I got couldn't even make an effort with their opening message and then I had to do all the talking as they couldn't or wouldn't keep the conversation going. The ones who said don't just message Hey were the very ones who sent me a message just saying Hi
Most of the females on there you are not blessed with even average looks and one would think they might make it up for it by having a good sense of humour or being nice or having a good personality but no chance. All I saw was negativity and complaints on the profile. Don't message if you lie or cheat said one (as if men reading that would think okay best not message then) and all the others just had negative vibes. They didn't seem to care about what the men might think and obviously never heard of creating a good first impression--We all have baggage but is it really a good idea putting it on your bio for all to see how bitter you are? My children and cats and dogs and friends will always come first was what I saw a lot
Don't get me started on the silly lists, don't message if you like more than 10 miles away, don't message if you are under 6 foot, don't message if you have brown hair etc etc etc. In reality they should be grateful to get any men message them and shows how out of touch they are putting barriers up
You get what you pay for (FREE) although I doubt the women are any better on paid for sites but this POF really is full of the very low class, a terribly low standard of females. You wouldn't take any of these to meet your mum that's for sure. They would spend all their time cussing or showing your mum their tattoos
I was on here messaging a few people having a normal conversation after signing up and now I cannot login again for whatever reason by account got deleted! WOW.
Site is trash garbage.
All of the females have seen better days yet I lost count the number of times they all said they want someone who is tall plays rugby and who will be their prince, so they dont want much? None of them said what they would offer the prince, its all about what they want
If you actually find a decent woman she will have kids and makes it clear that her kids/cats/dogs and everyone else will come before you
They all seem totally obsessed with height, hundreds of profiles when they are just 5'2 tall and say unless you are 6'1 or taller dont contact them. Can you imagine them saying that in a bar?
The time you upgrade if it's not in the same day in couple days they lock your account as fake for you to creat and other one and pay again so never upgrade in this stupid app and if you try to contact them they keep you running in one cercle until you give up so never ever upgrade
Trustpilot have allowed pof to spam their site with fake nonsensical reviews all giving 5*
Pof is rammed full of bots all advertising a scam site
When you finally find real women you'll soon wish you hadn't. Very disappointing standard to say the least. The funniest thing is they all want a male model with whom they have a connection with. Don't they realize a male model wouldn't need to be on here? None of them want normal they all demand absolute perfection. With what they're offering in return they have no chance
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.
