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.

I found that woman I actually met and dated on POF the first one turned out to be crazy with some kind of mental illness? The second one I was embarrassed to be with the thrid one turned out she was homeless. POF is mostly full of scammers and crazy woman!
I tried this site, used interesting pictures and a detailed profile and got no dates in an entire year. It's hard to even get responses and the few times I did they were very mean out of nowhere or they are scammers trying to take advantage of you. Only male models will get any sort of response on here. Dating sites are all about looks and not about personality at all. Sites like this discriminate against ugly men. If you have a weak jaw, are prematurely balding, aren't tall enough, bad eye area, etc. then forget about using this site. You won't get anywhere with it and it will hurt your self esteem. This site promotes discrimination and lookism as only certain men with attractive physical features will get any dates regardless of profile or personality.
Complete rip off fake pics til u pay then pics change and u can't get to the women. No customer service no feedback if a complaint
Full of women who are maybe 3 out of 10 but the problem is they all think they are 10/10 and that is what causes their downfall. They all have huge chips on their shoulders too
You have short fat unattractive women with kids demanding a tall dark and handsome guy. Normally they demand more things such as you must live within a certain area and be over 6foot 2 too
It just made me laugh, can you imagine these women going out in a bar being this picky? They would be quite rightly ridiculed yet for some reason they think it's acceptable online
Most aren't even nice people either. Most of their profiles are full of whining, complaining and making demands I didn't see any nice friendly women telling you what they'd bring to a relationship. Just what they want and what they don't want
No wonder no men will go near them. Tid have to have rocks in your heads to mail. These
Ladies, be on the look out for Daniel Vine. He's not single. He's engaged to Jill McCoy. Meth heads!
Website filled with fakes from stuck up fake princesses to prostitution, scammers seeking your personal information to take advantage of the weak minded and desperate individuals. Stray far from this miserable pit.
This site has A LOT of fakes. And when reported(a mechanism on the app allows you to report fakes and abusive content), POF DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. They also do nothing about the abusive users. Not worth the time. Stay away.
If you arent white and nude on there they allow the trolls to report you then the site blocks you, guys send sexual rape fantasy's in first messages but thats ok, right? Even when sent screen shots they dont care. I have screen shots of everything i violated nothing, yet my account is restricted? Because i refuse to reply to sexual first messages? These pigs falsely report you? And this is a tame first message, the ones about rape they wont even let me post and these are first messages from users, the same jobless losers that report you for not answering
Receiving profiles of persons in other states, different parts of my state. Old platform would mostly show profiles within 50-75 miles of my zip code. Service sucks even if paying member. Too many dumb things. Live is full of hookers and scammers it is a bull$#*! site
Well so far most of the guys here have been just looking for sex. The one guy I decided to actually meet after great phone conversations for a couple weeks turned out was just looking for a submissive. WYH. And his pictures were from years ago, lets just say he had aged not that well. The second guy I met seemed to good to be true as well. After many conversations we finally met, had a nice night (he made me dinner). When I said well I should get going it's late, he got upset and said "hey we're both adults here stay the night" again figured I was just on this site to find a sex toy. I said not who I am, we just met I'll talk to you Tomorrow, thank you for a lovely evening. Never heard from him again. The others have just been scammers using phony pictures and profiles. Their messages that you can barely read as illiteracy runs rampid on here are broken and off the wall. Fake. It's just sad site
They will delete your account after hundreds of dollars invested. For no reason at all. Even people are fans that invest in you there money is gone too when the company randomly deletes ur account
This site is extremely strange its block my mess to guys I like and to prove it we set up a few profiles I sent mess and not one person got my mess I don't why the do that but it's unfair why keep fake profiles and please people stay away from it its rubbish once I I delete my account I won't be going back they are conning people that they are giving you a service once they get to know you they start interfering with your matches and so on it set up. I use to love pof it was a good site but now it's just become a nasty place to be on.
At first I refuse to get in the app, but a friend convinced me, the first guy I chat was a scam (David033) he has a profile but he change the pictures, hey ladies be careful with this guy
We all know the majority of Brits are average to Damn right ugly. But if anyone refuses you, so what. It's free have a laugh.
If your political views aren't far leftist liberal your profile will be deleted even if you are a paid member. Even if you've only had your full paid membership for a day you will be deleted. This site is extremely sexist against men. It's mostly run by women who are staunch liberals.
I was hoping to find some one to love. Instead i got nothing but scams. I never join dating site before. In 3 weeks i have 4 ladies ask for money. And POF want money. Please stay away from this site. Thanks God i only join for one month, but managed to get one more payment out of me. I didn't want to use my credit card so i use paypal and paypal let them steal from me. The only thing you going to get from this site is heart. Stay away.
Pof used to be atleast half decent tho you were more likely to get dirty pics then anything tells but atleast they were real people. Pof is now over run with scammers claiming they are military and then speaking in broken English. Pof is not where you go to meet anyone other then scammers. Such a waste of time and energy.
U went through several days of the "meet me" list and at least 60% of the profiles I clicked on were inactive more than a year. Not real good at matching you up with people who live nearby.
You can't change your birthday or your desired distance of referrals with POF First of all they don't have a phone number for customer service. When I sent a request in for the above corrections they sent me back an answer to a totally different question. Since then they have never responded to my second request for the same information
So basically customer service does not exist at Plenty of fish
I got booted before I ever got a chance to use the site! Booted permanently. They said I violated the Terms of Service. I have no idea how. I asked them. They wouldn't say. Nothing disrespectful, no nudity, nothing wrong with what I put up.
Don't waste your time. Can I give a rating below,, zero?
Hey pof... I deleted your app. PERMANENTLY.
Answer: Oh yes, they want you to upgrade and pay! But when you pay you will see these profiles who you liked or who liked you disappear. They were nothing but bait-and-switch. You gain nothing when you pay, it's the silliest way to spend money. Are you looking for hook up or relationship? I wanted a relationship and I was really frustrated by Pof. Eventually I found what I was looking for on https://j4l.com/402007 But I've lost nearly a year on Pof. Not to mention emotional drain and money!
Answer: I just deactivated my account. This site is a sewer. Do not pay anything for this site or any site. I searched for free on other site( even paid ones you can search for free) and I saw the same guys on most of the other sites as well. I'm gonna grow old alone unless luck steps in and maybe I'll meet my guy IRL.
Answer: Yes its possible
Answer: Delete AND contact the company. If you know who took your pictures be sure to include the name on the profile that your pictures were used on, so they can deal with that person. Once you have deleted your profile, everything is GONE. I have never had anybody use my pictures on any other sites. I'm no great beauty, that could be the reason, Still, once your profile is deleted, everything is gone.
Answer: You cannot do it from the mobile site. You need to use your search, example safari and look up pof desktop version and go to the help in the top left. It will walk you thru it, if I remember correctly. Good luck
Answer: First, write to POF and explain. Now, and I mean NOW call up your credit card company and tell them what happened. I am sure POF will not contact you. Make sure to use the word "unacceptable" when describing the consumer service to the CC company about POF. Keep all emails too. Please keep me posted. Thanks Ann B.
Answer: STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAMMING SITE! Any good you hear from or about it... DUH ITS THE SCAMMERS THAT WORK FOR EM. I been booted so many times due to unpopularity cuz i wont date trash so i get booted they keep your money they are garbage
Answer: Fake doesn't really describe them... more like downright liars!
Answer: Golden rule #1: Do onto others as you would have them do unto you Golden rule #2: Anything that sounds to good to be true, is not. Golden rule #3: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Answer: POF is not free at all, you have to upgrade; become a paying member to be able to do anything interesting.
Plenty of Fish is an online dating site.
