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.

The site made me laugh. The women are so nasty and picky it's actually funny
They all want their dream man but have nothing to offer except attitude & tattoos and they all love to stick their tongue out in photos. Very classy

No way could they get away with this level of entitlement and pickiness offline in the real world. If the internet didn't exist these women would get no interest

It's basically overweight and unattractive females demanding you must be perfect while they have nothing to offer. Most are really bitter and jaded with the world and you can tell straight away. They make no effort to be nice.

They are single because no man wants them. Take the hint!

My experience on POF was a little better than some of the other sites but mostly fake profiles. People would like my picture than ask me to sign up for some other webcam site with clickbait. I did get one person's number but from the almost 100 plus people I reached out to I received very few results and maybe 1 phone number which didn't lead anywhere. At least it wasn't that expensive like Ashley Madison.

After a lengthy investigation I was able to determine that POF shares your profile information and pictures with various other sites. Some of the things was found that they use your information to place dummy profiles on other sites to boost their member numbers. What was staggering to find is that although match you with your criteria they also screen messages and filter out whom they choose you to be able to reach. Be cautious with the information you share and be weary of this site.

My first POF account started out of the blue and for no valid reason being locked out one day. After months of back and forth communications (most responses from pof were generic) I had found that my email address had been changed on the account by someone other than me. This still did not explain the months prior where I kept getting locked out of using messaging service. After pof did nothing to correct this I deleted the account thinking if I opened a new account the problem would resolve. So I deleted the old and started a new account. Within the first day of opening the new account I was o EC again locked out of the services for messaging that I had provided my personal I go and images to use. So this makes me question what my I go and images are being collected for if I am not being provided the service I signed up for? With this account being a few weeks old now I have had less than a day of not being locked out. Again multiple emails to customer service and generic responses telling me my account is fixed and shouldn't happen again but this allows less than an hour access and it locks out again. So is the site secure? Is my information being gathered for other purposes as I am surely not getting the access I should for the reason this info was provided in the first place? And of course no one to contact or escalate a complaint. For a tech based company this is seriously not acceptable.

When I looked there was only about 1 decent female for every 200 profiles. All the rest were low class and high drama. Every profile says the same they have great friends, independent, like music and holidays. They make no effort because they know they'll get messages

Its rammed with unattractive females with more baggage than LAX and they must think Christmas has come early getting bombarded with messages from desperate men.

These women in the outside world wouldn't get a glance yet because there's so few females and too many men on pof they start getting attention they could never dream of without online dating existing and start thinking they are a catch

Men will truly sleep with anything and this site is proof. I'd sooner be single and wait to meet someone offline

POS
July 6, 2021

Very disappointing site. I unfortunately was an upgraded member which means I to paid for a few months. What I learned very quick was that the majority of the profiles were fake. It's very easy to tell the fake ones very quickly but once in a while one will get past you, then what usually happens is your maybe messaging someone for a few days, then just like that they stop answering messages then their profile is gone. Like I said one slipped past. To bad Nigerians and attention seekers have to wreck everything they touch! What happened to the old school way of getting a date? The search they have imbedded into the app is primarily useless your unable to narrow your search to one particular location. You see someone you like and click on message to send them an ice breaker, a window pops up and says that you aren't compatible. On the search screen there is a group of prospectives called "matches", low and behold you see the prospect you tried to email earlier but the program said you weren't a match but now it appears you are! So once again you click the message tab. Window once again pops up and says so and so is looking for a different type of person. So werent a match, now we are, then we aren't again, you should be able to message ANYONE. As of recently it's showing everyone last online time as Jan 02, I can't count how much time I wasted sending messages to people that haven't even been on for 6-8 months, I guess it's pof's way of making it look like there is a wider variety of singles out there. To sum it up, that site is a joke! Do yourself a favor and save your money!

POF is free but if my sent messages aren't being delivered what good is it? I sent out quite a few messages to various women on POF but received no replies. So as a test, I wrote them again this time asking them as a favor to just write back "YES" if they actually received my message. Well guess what? I still received no replies back! POF is a joke!

My subscription was scheduled to end on July 1. I put a note on my calendar to cancel it on July 1. When I woke up that morning, I was already billed $38.40 for a service I WILL NEVER USE. POF has ripped me off and won't refund my money. NEVER, EVER deal with this company. These people will steal your money then claim that they NEVER GIVE MONEY BACK!

Men are always asking for you to login to the What's Up app. This guy wanted my personal data - every word was I love you.

After I joined my inbox was exploding within hours... 99% fake profiles. At first I deleted them. Then I started doing a reverse image search & reported them to POF. I let them know that the profiles were fake, even told them who the images were really of & when taken. Initially they would delete the photos (but not the profiles). Within 2 hours the profiles were back up with new or sometimes even the same pics. I reported the same profiles repeatedly & pof still took no action to delete the profiles. One of their key guiding principles is be real. They claim to have zero tolerance but yet take no action when scammers are identified and reported to them. Quit after just a few days. How could I possibly feel safe on a site that has zero regard for my personal safety. Extremely disappointed in their lack of concern & complete dismissal of my reports of known scammers.

Had an account for over 10 years and then found my account was deleted for no reason with no warning. Did some research and read that for some reason they deleted thousands of men's accounts(not women's) and never gave any indication why. I made a new account and emailed them asking why my account of 10 years was deleted, and they responded by deleting that new account. I did that three times before giving up. They suck. EDIT: Just saw this here: "I contacted customer service via email and received a reply: my email address was no longer associated with my account." Yes, because they deleted your account rather than respond to your question. That's how lazy and useless they are.

The females on pof are a joke. They're all bored sociopaths looking for a fresh game to play, nothing more. They are fat, smell bad, are hideously ugly, and have the I. Q. of a lawn weed.

Full of Scammers
June 12, 2021

The site is full of scammers. No matter how often you come back, the same people are there. If the site were so great, they'd be long gone. Then there are the soldiers and missionaries coming home soon. Scammers. Don't waste your time and emotional energy.

Look out
June 8, 2021

Hello ladies, be on the lookout for Steve Sumner from Muncie, In. He will try to ruin your life. He acts like he is nice and he is not. He says he is lonely and only wants one lady, then before you know it he flings with over weight women. I seen more than 3 at his house in a month. He keeps a Facebook with FWB that have him with 3 or 4 others on one profile and their main Facebook. He thinks he is sneaky. Not trustworthy. If you like a man that likes to swop and call him Daddy, then he is the one for you. A lot of fakes on there. I am not going back.

If you do join dont ever send bad feedback or get a little upset cause customer service will screw your account up on purpose and i was a premium member. Once they get your money they do not care anymore. A lot of the profiles are Bots. They keep pushing you to live stream, its a joke.

I had been chatting for a long time with 6 women on PoF. My User Name was GreyWolff, I planned to come to Kiev to meet at least some of them. As a result, one week prior to my trip 2 of them made their profiles inactive on the site (hiding from me, I guess), 2 of them fell in love with the other men, one of them had family issues all of a sudden and the last one had to work on New year's night. Can you call it a coincidence? No, you can't. Now I see that it was all scam. Money drain! Don`t give your phone number and credit card details

Customer service is not existant!

I was on there in the pass. So this is what happened. I was talking to a lady on there. So I know so people have old pics. So I asked for a pic that was not on her profile. I asked her sent it from her phone. The pic didn't look like her at all. I abruptly stop talking to her. She contacted pof and bad mouth me and I was banned without due process. They didn't want to hear my side. So pof need to clean up there policing. They really need to do something with people with fake profiles.

Not allowing your users to delete the account they created from the app is pure evil and greed. This app is full of spam and bots it seems like the company itself is creating and promoting. These apps will do and always will abuse your data.
