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!

Great site
March 7, 2022

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.

Dreadful, woeful, lousy
February 25, 2022

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.

Depends on the person.
February 17, 2022

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.

Low standard on show
February 17, 2022

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

Pitiful
February 10, 2022

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!

Must be 6 foot hahahaha
January 22, 2022

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 review
January 22, 2022

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.
