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.

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 tried to leave a review on TP but they're flooding the page with fake 5 star reviews

Must be 500 men for every 1 woman on pof so you have no chance

Pof is awful. I got tired of reading "looking for connection" or "must be a spark" always from a woman who is 3/10 at best overweight and/or unattractive zero self awareness that it works both ways, just totally self indulgent. ME ME ME is all they care about

An average looking female told me she felt like a pop star after being on the site a few days. Tons of messages about 30 a day she was getting, she even told me men message the same day after day even if you don't reply. The just say hello r u OK? Day after Day, talk about desperate.

I have no intention on competing with 100s of desperate men for ordinary or unattractive women
The women must think Christmas has come early. No wonder they have such a deplorable attitude in their profiles if they're getting floods of mail from desperate men. Most either bitter and twisted from being in a long relationship or their longest relationship is under a year at 40 years old. Huge red flag

I'll either meet someone in the real world or stay single

I'm writing this review to not necessarily blame POF because a lot of this might not be under their control but to advise the consumer he has little chance of finding someone there on that site if course if you're a woman and just offering one night stands this is right up your alley! Simply said the amount of fake profiles and scammers there are unbelievable so really all you're left with are stuck up $#*!es or women so unattractive that they're trying to use this site to get ANYONE? Haha again don't waste your time you'll get no where with them!

What a horrible site
August 26, 2021

I paid for a 3 month membership hoping to see out fake profileS. Nope it didn't. So many fake profiles and I've had 2 prostitution solicitations. The site makes it impossible to communicate with anyone to file a complaint with their customer service. They don't know what that words means. Please don't give this site one penny of your hard earned money. Need more proof I've got plenty

Steer clear
August 25, 2021

If you have any self respect at all, stay away from Plenty of Fish.
Nevermind the fact the site is riddled with scammers trying to get your money.
Even if you find a date and think He/She might be a good one, and you'll find some attractive men and women on there.
There's only one major problem, they're all self absorbed, egotistical, narcissistic $#*!s.
Every woman I've ever dated from that site has some sort of serious mental health issue.
Ranging from abusive past relationships, having been raped or like I said, they're just too into themselves to care about anyone else.

Plenty of Fish itself used to be free back when it first started, and wasn't a bad option.
But has since degraded into a hookup site for lonely or cheating men and women.
Not only that, but they now want to charge you to use basic features lsuch as the like feature and view me feature.
All a cash grab and a bad way to go for your mental health if you care about yourself.

Learn how to meet and date men and women the old fashioned way. The internet has become a trove of trolls and miscreants.

Do not sign up
August 24, 2021

When users are not located where they say then application is useless. I would not recommend to anyone seeking a date. Maybe a bogus text.

Worst Ever!
August 23, 2021

I have wasted time and money on here. My advice? Seek out better ones, i. E., Match.com and Harmony.com Don't waste your money, time and self-respect on POF. If it's too good to be true, it's scammer city.

Signed up years ago, went out with one man from the Finger Lakes, NY. Initials: JLK. Stay away from him!
He is a fraud, likes to torture women emotionally, attaches to you like the Covid.
He has been stalking, harrassing, intercepting phone, computer, slanders me with aquaintances, sends people to follow me. Has basically ruined my life and I don't know him! POF, please take his profile down!

Ok so i joined Pof Thinking. Ill find Someone in my Area but if your a Guy Who lives in San Antonio its Gonna Be a Real Hellhole most of the. Nerd/Geek Girls in my Area Just. Will ignore your messages its hard for a Hopless. Romantic Fall Fast guy to find someone for someone to understand and most of the Girls on Here In my Area Dont want anything serious. I waisted my time. And money just for a Girl to Fling with me for one Day. And act like im nouthing the next Day. Im gonna say this now If your a Young adult/Mid its gonna probably Be very Hard to find Someone. Witch i think the Reason behimd it is that most of These Girls are letting the Guy Kind Die off and. They only want to Date other Girls idk how many Times a Girl said. While on a Date do i support lgbt over amd over and over amd everytime a Girl joins my dating groups in my city there looking for anther girl anyways.

The women are REALLY angry on pof

It's full of oddballs and misfits who for some reason think they are great

You have short women saying they will only date tall men and unattractive women wanting good looking men. Lots of them are overweight and have glasses and chubby faces

They don't seem to understand the older you get the less choosy you can be

I saw one woman who didn't drive and didn't work but said you needed to work and have a car to contact her

Absolutely embarrassing the state of the females on this website. How does it get 3 stars?

Horrible app
August 8, 2021

This the one of the dating apps out there, ok if you are a premium paying member the app tells you what age bracket you need to date so if you are a man or a woman and wants to date someone younger they do not allow it seriously what century you guys live on? If a person is 18 years or older is up to the person who they should or not date is an user app all other dating apps get this but POF lives in the 15th century acting as user's parents, is probably one of the glitchiest apps specially the messaging system sometimes does not show when you message someone in the past, app is disorganized messy and not user friendly.

I've been on and off this site for many years and it can be very frustrating. It doesn't always get messages sent, and gives many different reasons the opposite sex person is not receiving messages. Lots of pressure created to get you to become upgraded member, which can't possibly be worth it given quality of site. Site seems to attract the strangest profiles... female that is! Finding someone here would be like finding a diamond in the rough!

I got a message from a female I didn't fancy but I asked her how many messages she gets a day. She said she gets about 50 a day

Seriously? Men seem that desperate that they will message anything with a pulse. No wonder unattractive women have an attitude when needy men are telling them they're great every few minutes

After hearing that about 50 messages I just closed my account.

Online dating has made it so ugly women can be picky. You have to smile when you see women who are 2/10 acting like they're 10/10

Also why are there so many single mums on POF. Why so many women have multiple children out of wedlock is baffling to me. They always say their 3 children will always come first and how they are independent yet can't understand why they can't get a man!

The first profile I came to was from a distinctly average looking lady who was 38 and she said " I won't respond if you ask me how I am" I was a but surprised as she should be grateful to get any messages nevermind being picky but it sums the site up perfectly

I soon discovered this site is full of crackpots, from women who lie about having a degree in their bio to one's that say they love roadtrips yet can't drive

I noticed that every woman regards herself as a princess/diva who only will accept the best looking man ~ who must be over 6foot tall and be handsome too. The fact these women are 2/10 & have no humour, class and have nothing to offer a relationship seems totally lost on them. It's all about what THEY want. They don't consider a man might not find them attractive. They're deluded and common

Give this site a wide berth, you have no chance of finding a balanced happy nice female. 1 star is too high for it. Full of dregs and social misfits

Predatory Scam
July 26, 2021

Plenty of Fish is just like every other dating website these days. This website is purposely built to have stunted design, no real features for new members, and a horrible messaging system. All for the purpose of forcing its user base to purchase its subscription services to unlock basic features like messaging people who've liked your profile, or even just being able to look at their profiles.

I almost considered purchasing there services until I saw the ridiculous fees they charge; $79.92 for a 8 month subscription to talk to complete strangers. Any dating website (that is to say, all of them) that hides it features behind paywalls is a scam. It preys on its userbases loneliness and sexual/romantic unfulfillment to trick them into purchasing services that on any other social media app would be free.

Beyond its par for the course business practices, the website runs terribly. I was kicked out of my account, while setting up my profile, twice. And each time, I had to enter in all the information I'd entered previously from scratch. I'd specified I was interested in women looking for long term relationships, but kept getting recommended profiles that said they weren't looking for commitment or who were already in a relationship. Add to that the garish, bear bones layout design, omnipresent advertisements for equally scummy dating sites and apps, and unpleasant bright blue and pink color scheme, and you'll be sick of this place long before you start having those stilted, go nowhere conversations that dominant this market.
