Yikes. It's really bad and repetitive

Nobody can see likes on pof but the women all have to tell you they can't see them. Virtually every headline is moaning about it. It's so tedious. They can't comprehend that everyone else says exactly the same thing. They also like to tell you to ask rather than fill the profile out

Women normally want to meet a man and get married, then have children. The ones on POF have children with anyone it seems, then want to meet a man, settle down, and get married. They expect you to bring up another man's children and be happy about it. And it's your loss if you don't.

It's also full of 2's wanting 8's and 3's wanting 10's. If you don't believe me look at the photos of the women demanding Mr Right and see how entitled they are and look at what they offer in return

Most of the women are aggressive, rude, and have no clue how to hold a conversation.

I've deleted the app

WORTHLESS
July 10, 2024

I tried the 3 month plan and spent a lot of time on the app. Bottom line it was a big waste of time and energy. I discontinued the pay service and deleted the app and they had the balls to bill me again. I am disputing the charge on my card. Be very careful when signing up. I had 0 results and all they want is your $$$. PLUS, I found that they have a lot of fake accounts and ghosting. WORTHLESS CHEATS

I have been a nonpaid member of POF for a long time. I tried the get-more-contacts approach and it did result in anymore responses. At 6 ft tall, weight proportionate I am not perfect but I'm not that bad to look at and do things with either. I prefer the company of females that are near or at my height weight proportionate. I would get these matches either too far away or heavy drinkers or heavy smokers which I don't drink liquor or beer, and I don't smoke anything or take drugs that are not prescribed for me. Granted I'm sure the competition is tough but I think such a narrow response rate makes me glad I didn't waste my money any longer than I did. I did request a refund and was granted one as POF is definitely not worth paying for.

Instead of using their headline to tell you more about them most women just use it to complain how they can't see likes. It's so unimaginative and boring

I'm tired of reading how their children will always be the #1 in their life. If that's the case why did very few of them ever marry the child's father? What man wants to bring up another man's children?

Why is it they all want to settle down and find Mr Right now they're past their best?

The quality on offer is abysmal. I wouldn't bother

There are way too many desperate men, and because of this women who would be lucky to get any kind of interest at all start to become really picky. There must be 500 men for each woman and because of that the women make no effort at all

If you want to see unattractive, unmarried moms demanding a bronzed Adonis way out of her league, then Pof is the site for you. Out-of-shape women talking about how they know their worth and how they won't settle really is hilarious.

The worse they are they more picky they are. Make it make sense

Having used POF a number of times over the past decade, it now appears to be a simple scam to get people to pay for using the services, quite a few of the profiles are fake and when reporting them they still remain on the site, Also since I use a TV monitor and have no webcam and refuse to put the app on my phone they won't allow me access because I don't have a selfie although they were happy enough to accept my payment without one and of course now they refuse to refund funds paid, Best advice is not to use at all since most of it is just as phony as their other site Match.com

All the females on POF are looking for their prince to spend their life with. That would be fine apart from the fact they offer very little and want it all.

Let's be honest. If you're short, unfit, not very aesthetically pleasing, and lacking basic social skills, can you really demand a man who is very good-looking, funny, and tall? It's not going to happen, is it?

Most of them also had a really bad attitude problem and didn't seem to like men.

Safe to say this you won't find your dream partner on this site. Probably 5000-1 odds

Scammer haven
June 13, 2024

I swear 3/4 of the profiles I come across are fake. Very bad and almost incomprehensible English, stolen pics, random things chosen to fill out a profile. If you get a real man; they're so desperate and not what you're looking for.

It is so hard to find someone decent.

DON'T BOTHER
July 12, 2024

I've never encountered so many ignorant, stuck-up weird aggressive people on one site. The women are just rude and unpleasant, picky and arrogant. I've never seen so many women with obvious issues demand the man of their dreams as if they really think they deserve it

The more unattractive they are, the more picky they are. Short, unattractive, low-IQ women expect to find someone tall, dark, and handsome.

I've never seen so many foul-mouthed tattooed women in one place. They are just so unfeminine and have no class. They brag that they have no filter and swear a lot, like it's a good thing.

I'll happily never use this site again.

Full of terrible people
September 18, 2024

I didn't expect much but was still extremely disappointed.
I was only looking for someone okay-looking who was a nice person. No chance. A total waste of time

POF is just full of rude, bitter, angry, aggressive, and unpleasant women who are out of shape and just look really old.

I've never seen such a bunch of misfits and attention seekers.

If, on the off chance, you do find someone half normal, keep in mind you'll be competing with 1000s of other men so it's pointless

POF is definitely not the place to go to meet a nice, well-balanced, happy woman, quite the opposite in fact

Plenty of Fish
June 17, 2024

Plenty of Fish (POF) uses premium features that are not advertised on their website. Not until you become a paid subscriber that POF uses pop up messages to inform you that you can Boost your profile; utilize First contact; add Super Likes which all come at a price. I suspect POF throttles down my queries to only a limited search each time I log on. When I added premium features, the flood gates opened and I received profile visits, messages for a limited time. Without premium features, POF is a slow-moving website. Women can sign on for free.

I'm not exaggerating when I say If you saw the POF women in real life, you wouldn't give them a second glance; in fact, you'd feel sorry for them. That's how low the quality is.

What makes it funny is that they are so damn picky online, all acting like the Queen of Sheeba when, quite frankly, they're terrible. They all look old, are out of shape, unattractive, and have no personality. There's no reason why why man should message them

I have no idea what the men are like but the women are undateable

I've never seen so many nose piercings over-sized glasses and angry people in my life. I think that tells you a lot of the quality on offer

There are lots of 'take me as I am', make me laugh, and 'looking for Mr. Right' headlines. The bio underneath is then blank or just full of complaining. This would be laughable if the women were smoking hot models, but when you see most are out of shape, look very old, and are unattractive, then it's embarrassing. I've no idea if they're lazy, uneducated, or just entitled, but it's insane.

The more unattractive the women are on POF, the less effort they make. Imagine thinking that's a winning move

You need a miracle to find even one normal, half attractive person who isn't bitter with the world. I wouldn't recommend this

**Don't waste your time**

The women don't even try to be nice. They go out of their way to be rude and unpleasant making lots of demands. This would be bad enough if they were good looking but they're all unattractive and unpleasant which makes it embarrassing. Why would I want to message anyone like that?
Laugh at loud at them all saying how there must be a spark or they won't reply. No self awareness at all

Also lots of profiles haven't even been filled out, why would I message someone if I don't know anything about them? Imagine thinking that putting "just ask" in every box is a good thing

My fellow men have ruined this site with their desperation and neediness to find a woman. Messaging every woman they see has rendered it a waste of time. They're so desperate for any woman that they bombard all the women no matter how hideous they are. That's why the women make no effort to be nice or ever message first.

That's why you see these below average women being really picky. They're mostly weird misfits with baggage. They're overweight yet use 'curvy' or 'plus size'. They're messed up yet use the phrase 'hard work ' yet expect someone tall dark and handsome.

Only good if you want to meet a woman that is truly hideous inside and out

The women on there are 35 years+, all without exception demanding the man of their dreams.

In return, the lucky man will get a woman way past her past who doesn't exercise, has other men's children, multiple tattoos and piercings, and an attitude problem
The worse they are, the more attitude they have. Truly baffling.
I didn't see any kindness or humility on Plenty of Fish. It was really a sewer

POF is horrible
May 21, 2024

I had tried the Plenty Of Fish dating site, and it is a very poorly run site. They have alleged standards for what people are allowed to post on their website. As a member you are allowed to report profiles that violate the pof rules. For example, you are not allowed to post pictures of you in your underwear. Numerous people had posted such pictures, and so I used the reporting feature to let pof know of those violations. There were also couples with profiles on pof seeking adult themed things such as threesomes, and sex with guys with a large male organ while being watched. There were also members who put links in their profile for guys to go to sex websites. So I let pof know of those kinds of profiles. POF decided to delete my profile. My profile contained no offensive pictures, or offensive language. I never sent offensive emails either. Whoever is in charge of POF's quality control does a very poor job. POF is a terrible site, and would not classify it as a dating site.

Plenty Of Rotten Fish
September 3, 2024

I couldn't believe the 'quality' of women, some shocked me, some revolted me, others made me feel sad for them. Mostly though they're 55 year olds dressed up as if they're 20 again, this one old hag stated on her profile "Nothing bald and short" then I saw HER! You'd think it was princess Diana but more like Countess Dracula, total embarrassment, oh and don't forget the tattoos! Plenty of Tats would be a better title for this hideous spectacle.
If you do see someone you like they're usually 200 miles away, I believe there are some decent people on there but very few, oh and I kept getting messaged by 70 yo's! I'm 52, I'm still getting over it, AVOID guys ffs!

Barrel scraping
May 23, 2024

The website should be named plenty of single moms who love tattoos and behave in a very unladylike manner.
Or plenty of single moms who love to tell you they can't see likes and expect the man of their dreams, even though they're the stuff of nightmares.

There's no originality, and boy do they love to tell you how they can't see likes. If it's that much of an issue, why don't they pay?

Full of complaints delusion and drama. Not recommended

Unrealistic
July 26, 2024

It's the bottom 20% of women demanding the top 10% of men. You don't need to be Albert Einstein to realise that's unrealistic, so little wonder it's always the same people you see on there month after month

The messages I received were from people with no social skills. I had women who claimed they were teachers message me and use text talk. They were unable to string a sentence together. The funniest one was a woman who said she was looking for a man who loved Disney. What are the chances of that?

Needless to say, I'm no longer on the site

It's a just conveyor belt of unmarried mother's who want to settle down now they've got multiple children with another man. They all say they can't see likes and their children will always come first. There's no originality on show, all the profiles are exactly alike. What a sad state of affairs

They are mostly out of shape, unattractive and unpleasant yet have ridiculously high standards when it comes to finding the man they want. They all want Mr Right /a spark/connection/Someone tall and good looking
It never occurs to them that Mr Right wouldn't want to date someone who has nothing to offer but baggage and attitude.

POF is toxic, you'd be better looking offline to find a decent woman. They don't exist online
