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.

I have experienced several men that lie and womanize Roccotheitalian…. He used me he lied numerous times he has he wants marriage HE DOES NOT it's all a way to manipulate women I have told you what these men have done they still have an account that is open and doing it to others …. How dare POF not believe the female getting ready to notify someone from ME TOO! Do something about these men
The guy that runs this site... and there are so many fake profiles. I've just asked for my money back, yet again. I think he's 38, and bought this site from the other guy that now owns a wine production factory in Canada. I get nowhere on this site, and I'm totally honest about everything I write... I've been told to post a photo of myself next to a corvette, that lots of young women would write me... but I can't do that. Women can post photos of themselves in bikini's, but men can't have their shirts off and they can't have anything but there face showing... I'm good looking, I've been told that, I'm also quite bright, not a good thing.
This guy is fundamentally a whore monger! LOL!
Ive been using this site since 2010. Its 100% free to use unless u pay for the optional extra features.
Never been scammed on there.
They even have a section on their for members to organise parties u can sign up to and go for free. But that function isnt working right now due to the covid restrictions.
I went to a few of the meetups. My local 1 was at a bowling ally and all we had to pay for was drinks from the bar or if we wanted to bowl which was at a discount due to being a group booking. But entry to the bowling ally was free.
Also went to a pub in a city not far from me as 1 member was holding a birthday party for himself and it was my birthday the same day. As a group of us were going from the same city we hired a mini bus to take us their and bring as back again. And split the cost between us.
Ive never met anyone on there except at the group meets. But thats cause im too shy to send msgs to the women i like or my matches and wait for them to msg me 1st. But ive never met anyone from any of the dating sites im on.
If u use a pay dating site be prepared to get scammed as only the paid for sites scam u the free ones dont.
Yes u might get members on the sites try to scam u but the free sites do watch out for that and kick them off once reported which the pay to use sites dont.
No decent woman is going to come on PoF so all you find are the ones who are not very good quality (and thats being polite).
Its the lowest 10% of women searching for the top 10% of men, ridiculous scenario
The weird thing is despite the fact they are all not very pretty, chubby and have tons of children and other baggage they somehow think they are a great catch and demand only the finest men available. You couldnt make it up
Just check out the attitude on the profiles they put up if you dont believe me.
An absolute pitiful depressing experience, full of the uncouth rejects of society
It is now Feb 2022. I have been on and off POF since 2015. Mostly off as I work full time (professional career field). I have seen numerous women, (60%) with the same pictures today as in 2015. Wow, that's eight (8) years! Plus how long have those pictures been on since I first saw them. That concerns me regarding "reaching out" to them. Apparently they do not care about their profile as they show no concern about updating it. And yes, they show "on line" so it's not like they have left the site years ago. I have met several women on POF. I am not looking for marriage and NO, I am not a serial dater. I have never been scammed nor had a woman ask for money. The majority of women I have met (85%) look like their pictures. I have read some frightening, negative reviews and believe each one is true. I consider myself lucky thus far and do my "homework" before meeting. Best of luck in all your online dating endeavors.
The site would get 10 Stars if you are in to only obese women. It's not a horrible site I did have one good experience in the 5 years I've been affiliated with the site. Like I said it's not a horrible site, just not enough women of my type 2 entice me to pay for the site.
Waste of time if you are a man. Its not the site its the people on it, You are competing with 100s of other men and the pickings are poor
I eventually found a couple of profiles that seemed reasonable and messaged them. The first went berserk at me simply because I missed a letter from her name and then second one just blocked me after I sent her a pleasant message. What the heck is wrong with them? Talk about attitude problem
Rest of them were not very good-looking, had too much baggage and seemed very bitter and vengeful towards men. I guess they can have an attitude because they know they'll get messages from needy men
There will be good women about still just not online dating. They all seem messed up or just plain nasty online
Can someone explain to me how the females on POF can act like they do with such an unpleasant attitude? They are incapable of being nice
They all look like extras from Hills Have Eyes and lack basic intelligence. They have 10 tattoos, 5 children, 4 chins and a chip on each shoulder yet act like they are deserving of a David Beckham lookalike.
They all complain that they don't have the meet me option (God forbid they might pay) and love to tell you how wonderfully independent they are and how you must be nigh on perfect to contact them.
It's a shocking calibre of women. It's the bottom 5% of women who all seem to be holding out for the top 5% of men
If they tried that offline they'd be laughed at. The rejects in society wanting a male model-Yeah good luck with that one
What's all this refusing to settle I keep reading? The women saying this have multiple kids out of wedlock and are way past their best. Yet they're not prepared to settle. Deluded much?
Seems that the women all want men way out their League. Lots of 2s wanting a man who is a perfect 10. They demand everything but have nothing to give apart from tattoos and attitude
Lots of the profiles are depressing and reek of bitterness and entitlement
Got so tired of reading no liars or cheats need apply.
Got tired of reading list after list of demands
Even the chubby ones think they can be choosy.
Just full of drama queens. 0 stars
I blame feminism and the media for giving them the fake narrative telling them they all deserve a 10-10 man
Refuse to settle LOL
98% do not respond to " hi, liked your- whatever you read in their profile" they delete it some read, and then delete. After being on this site for 60 days 2021-22. I can honestly say it is not worth the money. If you do not become a full paying member, you will never know who you are writing to has been on the site. Until you check your sent box and for me out of 40 sent messages the longest on was not on this site for 198 days, the shortest one 16 days not read. Why would you want to send a message to some that have not been active on the site for 45-198 days. Why? Cause POF is only interested in your $$$$$. Don't join OkCupid either-big waste your $$$$$- take yourself out for a nice dinner. I am done with an American woman who is online and since I am a nice guy I say how I really feel about them. There are no pictures to show.
None of POF business who I chat to. I have photos meeting guidelines and POF deleted them. Also I am limited to how many gals I say hello to. Many reasons. All of them are too scared to go out do to the scammers they create to get you to pay the premium fees. I know how to talk to the scammers,, POF makes you come up with a email that they only know to communicate. LOL. This is bogus. Dating sites were easier
Cant quite believe how unpleasant the females on POF are
Unpleasant inside and out yet full of quite ridiculous demands
Really is full of women who are right at the bottom of the pile but think they are princesses
Have no idea how they can have such an ego and attitude and demand a perfect man when they are just full of saggy skin and tattoos
After using POF for nine months, I found a vast number of scammers and questionable characters. POF does not do an adequate job of screening the users. Also, their bill practice is deceptive. It is difficult to figure out how to cancel. If you think you have and did not, you will get billed even if you notify them immediately about the oversight. There are plenty of other dating websites out there, use one with a better reputation!
Pof will block you if you don't talk to the sexual deviants on their site! Furthermore POF condones child molestation on their site! This website needs to be taken down before someone seriously gets hurt!
Rhey take your money then u can't communicate with other members. I have tried 3 different time to get a person to help me. No help. By far the worst dating site I have been on.
Cast your line elsewhere. You will only catch bottom feeders and low like blood suckers that act like real people that drain the life right out of you with their low life lack if morales integrity...
They are worse the the lowest life scum bags out there. And you know who you are $#*!s oh wait... don't waste the time... they don't have $#*!s...
Cause they $#*! from there mouths and they suck their filthy fingers from sticking them in their asses or your $#*!
Just saying
The site made me laugh
Most of the females seemingly spend all their time complaining that they don't have the "meet me" option or just are going on that they are extremely independent and don't need a man. Either that or they make a big deal that unless you are over 6foot then they will ignore you! I'm clueless how they can be picky. They are usually short and less than desirable. How can they make such requests?
I can only surmise that even the very plain ones must get hundreds of messages. There must be about 500 men for every woman so even the rough ones get a stack of attention and start to get an attitude problem
Plenty of fish has been part of my single routine more than one go around Until Feb 15,2020 I received a message from a no pic profile after the worst valentines day ever. Tired of being lonely, tired of dating liars, not wanting to give up. That innocent conversation lead me through the murky waters of the pond of POF I had found my now husband! Married Feb 14 2021!
I love him more than anything in the world! He loves me just the same!
Thank you POF!
Do not waste your money. Literally 70% of the female profiles are fake. They respond to you giving you their Snapchat, or other platform, and ask you for money. Absolutely garbage. I'd give negative stars if I could. Ripoff.
The site is fake and does not let you communicate with others at all!
You must pay in order to talk or get anywhere on that site
Not worth your energy to use
Scam site! Beware!
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.
