I'll write a review on here as the big named review site is full of fake reviews being pumped out every few minutes which has seen its rating go from poor to great in a few months and can't be trusted

I love how the women are saying Covid made them join the site as though in real life they get loads of offers from men. You look at them and they are overweight with numerous children and lack the ability to even fill out their profile "just ask" and can't even talk in normal sentences

If on the rare chance you find someone who appears decent it will soon fail as they lack basic conversational skills to chat properly even though they say " must have great banter "

The whole world is in lockdown and I can only imagine how many desperate men are messaging these creatures giving them validation into thinking they're all great catches when in fact you wouldn't look at any of them twice in the real world

This is absolutely worse then craigslist i have never seen so many abusive men in one area. They send first messages of threats, sex acts nude pics, then if you dont reply the persistent harassment with message after message after message begins being verbally abused, or being completely ripped apart on your looks, this site should be shut down, anyone male or female with your life together this site is not for you, unless you are a jobless, car less person with 6 kids by different people with no life this site is not for you. Its all the same people with the same vintage photos and same old pick up lines. I have never seen so many people with no jobs are licenses? How do you get to work or date?> these reviews have to be padded noway in hell there are legit good experiences on there no way. I gave it a go twice now lasted less then a day, its utter garbage

Very dangerous site i checked it out for a month and ended it never met anyone and I didn't want to after being threatened.

How sick can you get when someone assumes a dead mans profile and even goes as far as to tell you its his birthday on the actual dead persons date of birth. This poor man had three children imagine how upset they will be if they ever find out., I cried for his family and felt sick to my stomach. I have been talking to this guy and I feel tainted. Thus is a sick world.

I am going to relate a 71 year old guy's point of view based upon my use of the site for about a year. The majority of the women are not very appealing yet they are very demanding. Many are looking for men 10 years younger than they are. The site ignores distance preferences so I was bombarded with profiles of women living all over the world but won't let me contact women more than 15 years younger. There are catfishes looking to take advantage of men but they are easy to spot. Their favorite line is that age differences do not matter and distance is not an issue since they are willing to relocate. I always check pictures of attractive women to see if the photos they post were taken off the Internet to create a phony profile. The major issue is not catfish but women who have no commitment to meeting someone. In other words they are not willing to put in any effort because they could not care less if they meet someone to date. They sit back and peruse POF when Bingo and Mahjong have been canceled. Since there are more men than women even the homely overweight ones who lack education and sophistication can be assured of a steady stream of messages and "likes." Men are there, in their opinions, to amuse and serve.
You can get a free membership or an upgraded membership for a fee. It does not pay to upgrade. You are fishing in polluted waters regardless.
The site is run by people who are mostly honest except for one ploy. When an upgraded membership is about to end I believe the site itself generates tons of phony messages and phony "likes" in order to keep you hooked. I tried contacting the members who messaged me and "liked" me to confirm they were real and none responded. OurTime, another dating site does the same thing. You get more contacts (all phony) at the end of your paid membership in one day than you received in a month. Very deceitful.
One last comment directed to all the women looking for a man who makes them laugh. Please consider contacting Bozo the clown.

If you are looking to find some dates or relationships etc. It really should not be so hard nor should it cost to boost your profile. F-ing $#*!ed. The only people getting hooked are the customers. I have been on this site for about a month. There is too much BS. You have a site in place, it works, why not give a fair price and leave it at that. Stop F-ing around. People have hearts, some have depression, some are suicidal, some will get homicidal and why? Because A-holes who only a care about every last cent they can rip away from you. Give you a little taste, then slowly devour your soul. People are looking for love, dating, friendship. I am thinking to put something up myself. I dont need money. I am a disabled combat Veteran who is working to better himself and I really dont like wasting more time. I spent time overseas where people where being blown apart, while my wife and children were at home and it sucked bad. For what?

Went on here for first time, I dont think they realy want you to meet some one, i sent polite messages to people and when i looked on their profile they had messaged me back ( a ticking their) profile but i had no message in my inbox, I also had a lot of people like me, then sent a message to to them,( no replies) I think these people purposely block the message, then they want you to buy tokens to boost your message to the top of their message list, its just a money making scam, wont ever use again!

This app used to be free now it's only free to sign up which makes it harder to meet people because now you have to pay to meet someone that's not cool at all they should have left it like it was everybody is greedy it's all about the dollar even doing these hard times of covid-19 some people can't afford to pay to meet someone because they may be out of a job or something to the people who owns Plenty of Fish shame on you especially during these hard times

Lots of people on here are scam from Nigeria. To save your heart and time. Ask to chat with them on the phone directly to find out if they are real people who say they are. Lots of them have phone number that doesn't work when trying to call them. This site has the worst scam.It's really a waste of time. Some of them here are real people of course. It's upsetting that this app has no control over who has fake account and not let them be on. Pay attention to their broken language too, You then have an idea they are scammers.

Been using POF for years with little success. In my area, not many female singles in my age bracket. Just saw a gal I dated and POF used her pic with different name and location. Have caught them many times a this and some pics have been up for years and the gals are probably dead by now. Why do I get matches that are not what I checked off in searching for? Because there are so few women available and they can only match me up with what few they have and some are states away. Really? They show who is "online" but they may be in Canada or Europe, not within my local range. Do a search and it shows them online, but do the "online" search and they are not - so nothing but games from POF if you go the free route. And of course, scammers. Totally disgusted.

Someone who shall remain nameless thought I was ready to meet Someone on line. And someone who shall remain nameless decided to fill me in when 2 well known dating sites turned out to be highly overrated and disappointing said I should try plenty of fish. The word plenty was understated. I thought I'll make a very honest not Facebook friendly fake and I'd just be me. I thought it sounded kind of $#*!y instead of the bad $#*! good Christian mom vibe I was going for but oh well here goes. Men 53-61 apparently dig that or at least act like they do. I've been dabbling with this for 7 days with the significance of that and the certainty with which I say it stems from I signed up on my 53rd birthday
Well here 7 days later I have talked to about 20 people 15 did not get blocked. Hey those are good odds
Well here 7 days later I have talked to about 20 people 15 did not get blocked. Hey those are good odds
By this evening I was actively talking to 4 at one time. And they is what started the text stream I posted earlier.
Hold on people the training wheels are off. I am terrified and alive!

I joined plenty of fish for one month. It wasn't until I checked my bank account online and found they'd stolen a second month of me a month later. They didn't tell me they was going to steel a second months payment a month later. By joining for one month that should be the end of it. I can't find anywhere in the listing they take another month later. I've emailed them twice with no reply so I'm going to have to delete the account to hopefully stop pof from steeling more money from me for a 3rd month. Beware don't sign up to join they will take your money as they wish. They don't care about you they only want your money.

This site is for the most part 98 percent losers. Mental issues, sexual issues, criminal records, drug addicts, jobless losers, people with, 4,5 kids by different people. If you are male or female with your life in order this site is not for you. There are people who send filthy messages and if you do not respond repeatedly report your profile and or your pics. People who have been on there for years with pics form when they were 19 or 20, the site should be shut down, its nothing but craigslist mostly bottom of the barrel people on there

I had been on POF for years, both as a paying customer and free member. I met several very nice ladies and a few losers. But over all I found the site worked good for me. (And I am in the very senior catagory) Of all the dating sites on the internet I felt it was the best. And actually free for the most part. A lady I met through this site initiated a complaint against me and I was banished for life. No information or appeal process. And it's permenent. Later the lady contacted me and apologized, but it was too little too late. Shame, because I was within a few minutes of becoming a paying customer again. Oh well, stuff happens. Try it, you will like it. I was listed on their site as "Ross_Sl"...

I was a long time member on pof and over the last couple of years it has fallen in accuracy and worth. Recently they allowed my banking info and email address to be compromised. Whoever hacked my account changed my email address so now I cannot provide their support with data to delete my account! So they refuse to further investigate or reimburse me after 19 ridiculous charges were made through their app. Their pathetic Support now has me Trapped in an endless email cycle saying there they need more information to further investigate. When I tell them a response how my info was changed and now I can not provide data except for my user name, and I supply that, They just follow up with the same email a couple of days later. I'm telling you they are desperate they and will lock you into repeated subscription payments every month where you can not log in and change your preferences to non subscribe. So all in all I used to enjoy this website but now after this experience I have to say The Site is full of fake profiles and bots. There are many way better dating options out there.

The problem with POF is that it discriminates men unfairly, because as a MAN you are constantly at risk of getting banned if and when a female user reports you, for any reason.

This is due to the fact that POF has a very low number of active women users, and it feels it should favour them to keep the website alive.

However, it is frustrating when you are unfairly reported for wearing a political t-shirt or when someone is stating that they prefer not to date a certain group of people for example. There is no sense of freedom on their website.

Also because of this, your data is at risk because POF bans you without warning, and often just block you from accessing the site when your profile is still visible to other users.

I have had this happen twice, and they customer service ignored my emails for any explanation, as well as tried to remove any negative review I had wriiten about this issue.
