So many guys just sent abused messages. Some guys use another person pictures. They use another country actors pic for their profile. I knew because we can find them on Instagram. When guys report you, pof will stand beside you and agains women right.

POF (Plenty of Fish) is the most free dating site that I have found. Unfortunately it is also one of the most abused site for scammers. I have met ladies that showed an interest in me. Nearly 100% of them eventually asked me for money/gift cards, for a variety of reasons. Having some experience with dating sites, I have found a number of pirated photos that are being used. I have also read the exact same paragraphs on a number of topics from many different women, suggesting that these accounts have a centralized business model. Be aware of the grammar or sentence structure oddities. Take the time to research photos on various scammer identifications sites. And never send money or gift cards to someone you have never met.

I am a big fan of the show Catfish and thanks to it I don't go to this dating website. The show shows a lot of problems that POF has.

The main problem is the women all seem to be 3/10 at best yet think they're all 10s and they want a 10
Add in the fact most are overweight, have tattoos, multiple children, aggressive profiles, no decorum, no class and no happiness in their profile then it's no surprise they're single

They don't seem to grasp the concept of creating a good first impression and complain in their bio about how all men are cheats druggies liars etc.

They all seem to lack social skills too, if they're that emotionally and intellectually stunted on a message imagine how bad they are in real life

You have zero chance of meeting a decent woman on here. They have more attitude and baggage than I've ever seen. Yet they think they're princesses, obese princesses with plenty of tattoos, that is

This site is garbage. I tried to log into my POF account this morning coming to realize that POF deleted my account for no reason. Following all the rules and guidelines thinking I'm not a REAL PERSON when I am. I have professional modeling photos. For your information I am NOT A FAKE PROFILE. Therefore my account should NOT have been deleted..

I would not recommend this site, especially if you're using it to stream. I was supposed to receive money from streaming and earning diamonds and I have yet to see the money. Countless, pointless e-mails were sent back and forth and when they couldn't handle what was requested then they stopped trying to fix the issue and ignored my requests for the money that I supposedly earned. DO NOT use pof, I will be deleting my account

I wore a BLM shirt in one of my pictures. On the first day, I was verbally attacked by three different members (one who called me an 'inbred' and an 'ape lover', one who told me I "must love black people" because I "work with addicts" and another who told me that white women only like black men for the "primal sex". Of course I bit back (I have biracial children) before reporting the users, but then I got flagged for rude behavior. My account was then reported for saying, "All the racists are ugly." (HATE SPEECH) "I prefer black men, but I will date white men, as long as you don't think the election was rigged." (DISCRIMINATION) I also said I will not date men who voted for Trump. (DISCRIMINATION) Despite how you feel, that is an important part of mutual attraction. What liberal is going to date a MAGA Hat? I put in my interests "Liberalism" and that was removed for discrimination. I put in my conversation starter, "If you come at me with racism, I will screen shot it and put it on social media." (BULLYING)Please avoid this platform if you are a POC or someone who believes in social justice and equality. Women, this is not a safe site for you. My account is probably going to get deleted after this, but I don't care. Living in West Virginia, my life's work is outing racists.

I have been a customer of POF on and off for many years. After it was purchased by Match.com, which owns almost all on line dating sites, its service deteriorated as there was no need to compete with other dating sites.
Now, POF, though still advertising as having millions of customers, is offering minimum value.
You cannot see who "likes you", or "wants to meet you", unless you pay for premium service.
It ignores customer's preferences as to location, and sends potential matches that live far away, while blocking (intentionally or not, I cannot say) matches that live close by.
In a way it is understandable, because if it was easy to find a good match, two people would couple up and leave the site, thereby POF would lose two customers. It is not in their best interest.
Unfortunately this is true for almost all on-line dating sites.

I just uploaded a new picture and they take it down almost nanoseconds. The picture is me I look different in every pic.

Also months ago u take down my dog pic yet I see so many woman put dog pics up.

It doesn't make sense and u pof workers should be consistent. I don't know what kind of people u hire.

I guess u get what u pay for cause it's free. Do they hire clerks who just click buttons to show there working

Trust me go to a reputable site that costs money you'll get real people who know what there doing

And that doesn't even count the issues trying to get in.

Separated a few years back. Decided to try POF. Spent money and tried messaging different ladies only to be told that they had their messaging turned off. But in their profiles it actually says to message them. Some of these women I knew previously. When I ran into these ladies later I asked them why they had their messages turned off. They said they never had it turned off. POF scam. Also, POF said they would notify me to renew my subscription but they just put through my bank card # without consent.

Nobody communicates with anyone else. You can send out as many likes as you want, but nobody will like you back and of course nobody will talk to you on the phone if you do get a response. I get likes, I like them back and I never hear back from them again. Typical so called dating website. If you are a man good luck to you. I got a like from somebody and she replied back "who are you?. They sent out a false like to me from her and she was not even interested. Just a waste of money. Then there are the scammers trying to get my debit card info by sayng they want to video chat, but my debit card info is needed to do it. They are so stupid and can't spell either. Just plain $#*!ed idiots.

This site is a joke and you should stay far far away from it. I am sure that some of the people on it are real but most are not. I had one profile hijacked by some woman in Australia and I got more messages in two minutes then I had gotten in all the years I was on that site. My phone was blowing up and then I saw that they were all men and I knew I got hacked. It took weeks for them to figure out how to help and they concluded I should set up a new profile, yeah the help department is weak over there. No phone number for customer service and I swear the emails I got from them were bots.
So a couple of weeks before my upgraded status ran out I changed my profile, and said the site was full of fake profiles and I give up. I didn't a single view for my last two weeks on the site. Now that I am a standard member I see they changed the site so you can't see who viewed you at all now the last time they changed you could only see the last three people that viewed you. So now the money grab is complete. Correction you can still send a message for free.
Now lets talk about the meet me feature. I live in Ashburn, Va which is Northern Va and when I click the meet me option 90 percent are more than three hours away easy. I sent them emails but they came back with there is no way to change the distance Sorry.
So what about the Search option, well it's just as bad and maybe even worse. You can select 5 miles and then click search, yeah the site changes it to 50 miles on it's own. I mean why even have the option if you are just going to change it to what ever you want. I mean come on why do I want to see the profiles of women three states away from me?

I have registered with POF 3 times in the past and I always wondered why there were so few replies when my messages were respectful and positive. Occasionally I would get a message from a member that had just closed their account so I began to piece the vague evidence together.
I think the vast majority of profiles are fake. I think POF is behind this because all of the scammers use Google text accounts that look like phone numbers. Many of these so-called members just start asking personal questions just like a hacker trying to collect information. They come on real strong if that doesn't work they magically disappear the next day. This makes sense only if there is a scam going on.
As far as the real profiles. They are the bottom of the barrel types of people. Women in their mid 30's to 50's who have listed their longest relationship as being 2 or 3 years. What does that tell you? That should be a red flag for any man seeking a long term relationship and not thinking with his $#*! all the time. In other words for you who are slow on the uptake. It implies that the woman sleeps around a lot, has commitment phobia, or both!
I don't think POF gives a damn about the integrity of their dating site because they merely sell their lists of millions of free members to advertisers, and that's where their revenue is generated besides conning guys with fake profile replies that get them excited enough to upgrade their account. READ THE REVIEWS EVEN ON THEIR OWN SITE THERE ARE NEGATIVE REVIEWS BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN POLICE COMMENTS MUCH LESS THE SCAMMERS, RECRUITERS OF PORNO HOOKUP SITES, OR PROSTITUTES. They booted me for 2 reasons. 1) Because I reported all the scammers I came across. 2) Because I called out all the women who had fake profiles full of contradictory verbiage that did not make sense. For instance 90% of all profiles say, " Casual dating but nothing serious" or "Want to date but nothing serious". What conclusion would you draw? Then some of the women actually said, "Am in a serious relationship but just want to date someone on the side. Don't judge me or you'll be deleted!" What dating site that had any integrity would allow such BS?

I am an attractive in shape man who gets along very well with women. Here though it is different. Mostly overweight women, the attractive ones are few and far between and most likely 90% of them are fakes. The very few real women on there have the whole websites men throwing themselves at their feet and therefore pretty much nonresponsive unless you are a 25 year old millionaire male model. Most of the time you are speaking with a chat bot or POF operator. It is a trick. A trick that exploits lonely and isolated people by playing on their emotional weakness. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS SITE IN ANY WAY IS MY RECOMMENDATION!

This site should be called Plenty of Fakes and they don't take actions when I report the fake profiles/scammers

Stay away from this website there are a lot of guys out there that wants money from you, especially the ladies that are looking for true love. These guys prey on the lonely, I know because it happened to me. The man I met on here took me for everything I had and left me in utter debt. If you see the name Joseph Durmus BEWARE! He will take you for everything you have. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SITE FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR TRUE LOVE.

No point leaving a review on Trustpilot as since covid POF has gone from a rating of 1 (which is bad) to adding 25,000 reviews from either bots or people with very bad English and their rating is now 4.2 ( great) Which is absolutely untrue. Its tantamount to deception at the very least

If you manage to find a woman who fills their profile bio in (most claim to be looking for a relationship yet can't be bothered to put anything about themselves and say ASK) it'll be full of generic stuff such as they like going out and meeting friends and holidays, the same as everybody, absolutely zero creativity

The women I saw on the site were very average or even below average looks but more importantly the were demanding, rude, aggressive and very very picky. Lots were 5 foot tall yet had the nerve to say if you were under 6 foot and you messaged them you would be blocked. Such a polite happy cheerful attitude. Not only unattractive but also have a huge chip on their shoulders and no class. Not a winning combination
I have never seen so many single mums on here too, it's like they churn out children without thinking or caring, yet in their bio they too are ridiculously demanding
I've yet to meet a man who doesn't see this as baggage.

I got a message from someone who I didn't find attractive and she told me she gets 15-20 messages a day and on the first day alone she got 19 pictures from men with photos of their genitals. Seriously, it's bad enough the desperate men messaging these women but sending those kind of pics? There is no chance at all any decent woman would stay on the site getting that

It did make me smile when a lot of the headlines say 'Covid made me do it' Yes I'm sure when there's no pandemic they must get inundated in the real world by men (sarcasm) wanting an overweight nasty women to date

Total waste of time. Its full of dreadful women with desperate men giving them attention which makes them think they're great. Most seem only on there for an ego boost

I used Plenty of Fish for a couple of months - back in 2018 - my view is that its actually pretty good -
I got a few dates on it, and although there are a few doubters - I did well -
I recommend NOT paying for it ( you don't need to) and just give pleasant replies / messages -
And see what happens - frankly there are far worse out there!

I'm a decent looking guy with a lot to offer and every girl on here even the ones below average have a huge entitlement syndrome even the ones who are not great looking but said hello to me,, don't waste your time these girls are both nasty in looks and nasty in character. They are on here because they flat out suck and no good guy would date them,, most smoke are jobless but require you to be perfect. Forget this site don't waste your time and the other girls on here are just nasty trash
