Plenty of Fish Reviews Summary

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.

BEWARE FAKE PROFILES, FAKE GUYS WHO SAY ONE THING AND DO ANOTHER! I CANNOT SAY THAT ALL MEN ARE BAD BUT MOST OF THEM ARE AWEFUL AND HURTFUL AND THEY CANNOT MAN UP (GHOSTED TOO MANY TIMES).
BUT POF IS DOING THERE BEST AND IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT!
IT'S THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES THAT ARE CHEATERS, FAKES, USERS AND LIERS!
POF SITE IS GOOD BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE THEY ARE NOT AT ALL BAD.

Plenty of Attitude
January 14, 2022

Females on this site are really rank bad, they are extremely unattractive and yet have huge ego's

Lots of them cant even be bothered to fill the profiles out, those that do are so choosey it's unbelievable. Making demands about height and how you must have a beard etc etc

I honestly don't get how they can have such a dreadful attitude. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand why they are single

I didn't see any friendly or cheerful women on there just deluded demands

A total waste of time even looking

Not the best site!
January 13, 2022

Too many "likes" not enough messages, its so damn difficult! And when you actually chat to anyone its shortlived, why I use this site I really don't know, the app is useless, always something wrong with it! Sometimes I can log in and there's zero messages, why is anyone using it? I'm baffled by this

Preface for clarity- I have been using plenty of fish on and off since 2007 and it used to be extremely good, I met a lot of good and nice women off of there. But it seems that it has been going downhill since around 2008. The plenty of fish that is around now is more like tinder which is a bad model to want to copy, it still is better than tinder but it used to be one of the more top-tier dating sites to use.

I never had a problem with their customer service so I cannot complain about that, I think if they went back to how it used to be then it would be so much better. But of course don't blame the website or the folks that made it for the quality of people on there, still better than most but one of the more recent problems is the l; ive feature just a bunch of thots and wanna be influencers use it.

Plenty of misfits
January 11, 2022

Never seen so many single parents in my life. Now they are past their best they all want to settle down. Why couldn't they do that when they had children? They expect you to take on another man's children and be fine with it

They all have terrible attitudes and are covered in tattoos and smoke as well. Even though they have nothing to offer they still can't be happy in their profiles. Ridiculously entitled too. All think they are 10s when they are more like 3s

Really is easy to see why they are single

I'm sure there are some sleazy men on there as well but the women are terrible and undateable

Horrible App
January 11, 2022

I tried this app and canceled my subscription and deleted my profile within a week. I marked that I was a guy seeking another guy, yet it would constantly send me female matches. Some of the male matches were fake profiles. The app is super glitchy, not user friendly and very expensive. Not at all worth the money or time.

I was very nervous trying the whole dating after divorce. I was able to pick and choose what I wanted to find. After a few dates and a screening process I found the one! Still going strong and on the way to marriage. Give it a shot!

Fake for the most part
January 3, 2022

Ive noticed in the past 7 months that i get a like from a person i recognize the pic because theres only a hand full of women in my area. They profile was there for months but as soon as i see they like me there profile disappears seems there using ex members to make you pay to see likes or making it impossible to find someone for free. I'm willing to pay for a dating site but all seem so shady i can't trust them.

Happy April Fool's Day
December 29, 2021

This is one site that is good at faking you out, I subscribed to this site on my computer and I downloaded it on my PHONE (NOT COMPUTER) I received more likes than I can handle, historically I have been told I am very handsome and i am a ex footballer financially well off but I've never been rejected by so many women in my life as I have been on this site but I found out why... when I tried to go to my computer (NOT MY PHONE) to type in the name of the likes 100% of the time it turned out to be a fake profile. These "likes" are meant to get you to subscribe meaning to pay money monthly yearly excetera excetera. This one of many websites faking you out and using profiles of attractive women to get you to subscribe but when you subscribe all of a sudden the likes disappear and so does your money it's a shame but that's the American way, greed and lack of character in business dealings. The creators of this site should read the part in the Bible about the Lake of Fire for liars and deceivers.

I cannot believe the massive amount of scammers n POF. From foreign nationals to outright fakes who want your phone number or email at hello. It's always the same BS.

They work on an oil rig on the ocean. Or, their widows working as doctors without borders (and with only a Bachelor's degree), Poor English, in a city near you but they are (surprise) working out of the country at the moment. Engineers and doctors with no college or little college but no English skills. LOTS of dead wives lol.

And always a very slow responses to serious and direct questions. That is the first clue that I should just block them. Which I do.

It isn't an accident that POF will not give refunds. If they did we'd all be gone in two weeks and they would have to close the website.

NEVER give out your information at hello and never trust anyone who claims to be working seriously for a relationship but logs off in the middle of a conversation. Or claims they are seldom on the site and want your phone number. They are cheating on someone or working up to rip you off.

I've been on a lot of dating sites over the years, and yes all do get scammers, but this site is the worst I've ever been on. There is even a phone number for them online which is itself a scam. If you can't log on easily they ask for remote access to your computer and magically find a virus (or plant one) and need money from you immediately to fix it. I reported this to POF when I tried to call and they know about it, but of course, are doing nothing about it.

For all the scammers associated with this site, I fear the biggest one is POF itself who takes your money and gives you nothing in the way of support in return.

I will be sure no one I know trusts this site for any reason at all. You shouldn't either.

Lots of Fake Profiles
December 27, 2021

You have to pay or you can't send messages or see likes. It's misleading when the little counter gives the number of people interested in you but just because someone looked at your profile doesn't mean they are interested. You can't control the distance. Most of my choices are from over 100 miles away. I frequently get "likes" from other states but I've never heard from any of those people when I respond. Most likely fake profiles just to make it seem this app had a lot of potential matches.

PLENTY OF FISH
December 23, 2021

This site is a piece of junk fake profiles, scammers, catfishing and prostitution. They kick you off for no reason. It's trash. I wish I could give it zero but the review rating will not allowed it. Don't waste your time on this garbage.

Would select zero but that's not an option. Signed up for a year. Why I don't know should have known better. After a few hours, I had several messages. All from scammers with fake profiles. Answered one just to make sure. After talking back and forth several minutes. He asked the classic scam question. So how long have been on the site and what are you looking for? I didn't answer directly. After several more messages, he asked me to go to Google Hangouts. I said no thank you. That was that. No more messages. I reported him. So sick of this kind of scamming. You can't select a distance parameters either. Just the USA. So annoying. No thanks! I'm over it

This site is awful and I've complained countless times and provided proof of the scams and I've seen several and POF does absolutely nothing about it! It's all about the money with them. I never receive a response back to my documented complaints with all the details they need to clearly see the potential scam and never once has anyone reached out to me and provided any feedback of what they have done about it. I think it just goes into a black hole!

Plenty of time wasters
December 22, 2021

Most of the women can't even be bothered to fill their profile out correctly.

Those that do are either
Really really Overweight
Really really Unattractive
Will Swear like a sailor
Have multiple children
Have mental issues/nutjob crazies
Have a real attitude problem
Think they're God's Gift
Think they're a princess

Demand everything and offer nothing

IMO it's full of leftovers that can't get a date in the real world. There's a reason they're single

If you find what you think is someone decent beware, odds on they'll turn out to be an oddball in some way

Plenty of Fakes
December 21, 2021

It is really surprising how many fake ads there are on this site. Lots and lots! They have only 1 or 2 pictures, use improper English and say nothing of substance in their self description. And the 56 year old woman always looks 35. They use words like "pionate". WTF? And in the education section they write "some college ". Why do this over and over? It makes for an awful experience. Save your money and stay away from this scam.

Virtually all of the profiles are full of negativity and demanding you make an effort to impress them MAKE ME LAUGH etc, this is despite the fact you could go out the house and see 100 women in the street and 99 would be better than what you see on POF. They act like they are doing you a favour if they deign to reply to you

I eventually found one who didn't have a bad attitude, didn't have a shopping list of demands and was somewhat attractive (and believe me that was tough going)

But It turns out she wasn't 35 like she said, she was actually 45 and doesn't have the degree she claimed, oh and her photos are 4 years out of date.

Someone who's profile demanded NO TIME WASTERS asked me what I was looking for. I jokingly said an end to poverty and a trip from Santa. She blocked me. Absolutely zero concept of humour. Talk about a bitter and twisted bunch

No wonder it's free. App now deleted
