Plenty of Losers
October 28, 2021

There's a bunch of douche bags on this site that can't handle rejection. Most of them seem accustomed to paying for sex and when one isn't responsive to their advances they report your profile and try to have you banned from the site. Most of the men are unattractive druggies or have little to no self esteem so if you think they look bad wait until you open up their messages. Their definitely socially awkward to say the least. Don't waist your time with Plenty of Fish; this used to be a site where you could meet a decent guy, go on an actual date, and if it didn't work out that was fine you both could go your separate ways. Now the sites filled with a bunch of little boys who feel like they're entitled to have access to a woman's body. It's weird. You're better off trying a paid site if online dating is the direction that you're looking to go in.

Same guys on every site
October 25, 2021
Updated review

POF has the same people as on Tinder Match eHarmony Bumble. I bought the subscription, the selection did not change. I thought buying the subscription would show me. Different guys that were interested, but when I could see them they were guys I was already talking to.

Do NOT PURCHASE
October 23, 2021
Previous review

It is a waste of time to purchase a subscription. The same people are on the FREE version. Also it is NOT a monthly subscription even though it says that, they charge you the total amount and YOU CANNOT get your money back if you are not happy. The guys on their suck. They are not there to seriously date it is a. Hookup site.

Worse than Hell
October 24, 2021

An online sewer with disgusting inhabitants is my take

I was amazed looking at the state of the women that so many have children. It just shows that men really will sleep with absolutely anything. I love how they seem to think having numerous children shouldn't put a man off. My children will always come first... Run for the hills

No way any of these would get a date offline as other people have said they're too overweight/unattractive/picky/nasty/immature with tons of emotional baggage

I got bored of reading how they were all still waiting for Prince Charming. You would have thought they'd have realised he's not coming by now!

My question is who the heck is actually messaging these beasts to give them such an ego in the first place? They must be receiving lots of messages to be so picky

Amazed how many don't the difference between your and you're, and since when have tattoos been classed as a hobby?

I've never seen anything like it in my life

POF= Plenty Of Fakes
October 21, 2021

POF sucks. Tons of bots/fake profiles/scammers/streamers... Send hundreds of messages maybe you get 5 replies (if you're lucky). If you do get a reply, chances are they'll ghost you. Women will block you for no reason. They'll view your profile (after you've messaged them), but will never respond. It doesn't matter if you pull something from their profile and ask them about it. Most of the women on there suck. Plain & simple. They say they're tired of the same jerks, blah blah blah, but come across as genuine and it makes no difference. I get that the even halfway decent women on there get tons of messages and aren't obligated to reply to any of them, but it's still very deflating to never get a response.

Here's the overall theme of POF. You'll see this combo in 95% of profiles:

1) Fat/ugly/overweight/unattractive women
2) Shorter women who want a tall man
3) Kids (usually at least 2-3) & don't want more (or any at all)
4) No job and/or car (but want you to have both)
5) Tons of tattoos and/or piercings
6) If they are working, it says "Ask" or something along those lines
7) 420 friendly
8) Incredibly negative profile and come off as $#*!y
9) Work multiple jobs and don't have time

Yet they want perfection from you.

Again, if you have more than 2-3 conversations in a month or so, you're a casanova.

Really bad standard of females as you'd probably expect...
Most carrying too much weight yet call themselves curvy, have tons of kids and have absolutely no chat and have a terrible attitude

As if that wasn't bad enough they are just totally deluded. You have women who are 350lbs demanding men that must be talk dark and handsome. I mean come on, can we have some realism here?

Most of the profiles either are blank as they're too lazy/dumb to fill in out or they have a huge list of requirements and a long list of complaints about life

Most either don't realise or don't care that their profile comes across as picky and unpleasant

I didn't see any happy women on here. All of them have some sort of baggage and were more than willing to tell you all about it in their headline or bio. Why would any man be interested in misery?

The only laugh I got was reading from some woman who said (in capital letters) only message her if you have blue or green eyes. At this point I nearly fell off the chair laughing at such utter stupidity

GL if you join up, you'll need it. I've never seen so many women who actually believe they are princesses

Por customer service
October 17, 2021

I down loaded their app
I was having trouble with two features keep writing to customer support about issues which they could not or would not fix. In one of my emails I said what am I paying for if your searches and matches feature were not working probably
The next day I get an email your account is being closed and your refund may take up to ten days to process. Really you took my money out of my account as soo. As I downloaded app
What bull if you take my money put right away give it back right away
I did not say I wanted my account closed. I wanted issues handled

They discriminate, if you don't date the way they want you to you will get banned. They don't like interracial dating and if you don't follow their rules to the letter they ban you and don't give you the opportunity to fix the problem first. They will approve your profile at first but if they don't like the type of dating you are doing they will ban you. Terrible site I would stay away.

I dont understand how the women on this site can have such big egos considering they have nothing to offer a decent man
'Dont message me if you are are going to ask how I am' was a common rude headline, another one was 'Dont have meet me so only message' and 'If you're under 5 foot 10 dont bother' I dont get how they can be some damn rude to prospective partners?

Most of them cant even be bothered to fill the profile section out and tell you to 'ask' or they have a huge list of what you must be to just to even send them a message!

I got a message from a woman who ignored the questions I had asked her and just said 'you have anymore pics?'

They act like they are some kind of princess when really they are the women no man wants to date. You have more chance of platting fog than finding a decent happy friendly female on there. They are all rude immature and nasty. The crazy thing is they all seem to think they are amazing. Most should be in the loony bin

I uninstalled the app

It's not the site that's the problem it's the people on it. Everything on POF is inside out. It's like an episode of The Twilight Zone

The standard of females is extremely low yet bizarrely their standards are ridiculously high

It's rammed full of single mums/ females that are unattractive & extremely overweight (who have truly dreadful attitudes) and genuinely seem baffled that they are single and haven't been snapped up. Most of them don't seem very intelligent to be honest either.

The problem is despite all their faults/baggage they refuse to settle and demand nothing but the top 1% of guys.

I mean, seriously? Why would a top 1% guy be interested in the bottom 1% of women out there? Short obese single mums with chips on their shoulders demanding tall dark and handsome. It's absolutely hilarious

Nazi's
October 5, 2021

I did nothing to break their terms.and conditions, I put on my profile, that I am anti vax.and anti mask. Explained why. I then got attacked by Liberal's.and called derogatory names. I reported them and I got kicked. Just another her social media controlled Nazi site. Also, there are very few attractive women, they are all fake profiles, prostitutes, fat, etc. Keep away from this trash site.

99% fake profiles
October 3, 2021

POF is an interesting model because it's a free application in many ways. Obviously, having a subscription to it gives you more features but when you consider that 99% of the people on there are scammers, using other people's images and profile information, well, it's a bust.

When someone's profile has coherent grammar but then they talk to you as though they know little English, it's pretty clear their info is stolen. Plus, most of the women's images are stolen straight from Instagram models. If you do a reverse image search of their pictures, 9 out of 10 times you find the same image on someone else's account or just 30 different places on the internet.

Until POF starts requiring people to verify their images and identity, you might be safer staying single or buying a Fleshlight.

Tremendous site if you're looking for an out of shape female with lots of attitude and plenty of children. Also plenty of tattoos, dog kissing in photos and lack of intelligence and decorum

I got so tired of reading from females well past their best "looking for that elusive spark " and "looking for a partner in crime"

I can only think simp men must flood them with messages because it's basically females that are 2 out of 10 acting like they are Victoria Secret models. Let's be honest if they internet didn't exist they'd be single forever

It's like getting to the market late, all the best fruit and veg have been snapped up and all that's left are the mouldy old and out of shape stuff nobody wants, well that's the females on pof

It's a rip off
September 23, 2021

POF is all scam preying on people who just want a legitimate date. I would bet a huge percentage of the profiles are AI Bots because when you strike up conversations the messages that are sent back are consistently irrelevant to the conversation. Some of the more complex questions you might ask are met with confusion and mindless blather that makes no sense. I believe they take photos from actual people and write up generic profiles to get you interested and hooked. Do you can keep payments going to them! These people are bastards! Keep your money! Do things the old fashioned way and go talk to women in public face to face.

Talk about entitlement and ridiculously high opinion of themselves. I've never seen anything so crazy in my life

I've never seen so many single mums and unattractive women in my life.
Vast majority are ugly inside and out yet sit on their laptops thinking they are the bee's knees.
The two I found to chat with that seemed okay had absolutely no chat and it was like pulling teeth so I gave up

The final straw was when I saw a profile from a woman in her mid forties which said she wasn't prepared to settle even if it meant waiting as she knew what she was worth. I mean seriously how deluded can you be?
She smoked and had children.

No way I was sticking around. It's full of really low class females who can't get a man in the real world yet go online and in their own minds become a princess

Worst 3 weeks of my life
September 9, 2021

Spent a few weeks on here, time i will never get back

Some thoughts
1-you are competing with literally hundreds of other men
2- the women you competing for are literally rejects and undateables
3- Most women were overweight
4- Most women were very ordinary looking at best
5- Most women demanded someone way out of their league
6- Most had some kind of issue such as baggage or mental health issues
7- You will not find anyone decent on here if you are a man
8- Most women were so picky it made me laugh
9-Most women were short yet wanted a tall guy
10- There is a reason they are single and it isnt because of Covid like they claim
11- Most of the women have a truly appalling attitude on their profile

I would not recommend this website and their Facebook page to My worst enemy looking for a date.
The supposed women on this site are usually from China, Africa, the Middle East or Eastern Europe. I have read texts with the same question " Could You send Me a 50 Dollar Stream Gift Card?" If not question I usually have gotten requests for Money, sometimes I would get messages from women or better yet so called women asking for My Address claiming to be in My local area, but when I look at their profile they have a bunch of friends from Africa, India or the middle east and no mutual friends of mine and not a single picture on their timeline of anything local, nothing but posing in skimpy bikinis or of a group of people in a foreign country.

Full of dregs
September 6, 2021

I genuinely don't understand how women who are overweight*unattractive*with multiple children can have such a picky and stuck up attitude in the profile they put up on the site

It is full of silly unrealistic people who expect to find the man of the dreams yet have absolutely nothing to give back. All you would get from these women would be earache

Just full of obnoxious drama queens who think they are princesses.
