My account at POF was either hacked, migrated or sync with another account and POF wont respond to the constant help requests. The person who now owns my account, a woman, made a token purchase from my account, since my account has my bank information on it but since I am a man looking for a woman she is a hot female the whole male POF membership after her. WTH, how can they not be accountable for this. I have had to cancel my bank cards to avoid this crap from continuing.

Well, it's free to join. After you join, you can post photos, have a minimal profile or spill your life's story. Right off the bat, you can send messages. You can search by age group, ethnicity and location. Most of the profiles have photos. I usually don't even bother with profiles that don't have photos. Plenty of Fish does have a few gimmicks to get you to upgrade. Let's face it, you don't need a dating site to do the filtering for you. Plenty of Fish has plenty of members and in a medium-large city, there will be pickins. You have to realize one important thing. You may not like the majority of the members based on their looks from photos. Those viewing you may not like what they see either. So it's hit and miss all the way. If you send a message, lower your expectations for a response. And be at least courteous to those who message you and you have no interest. It's free. No stupid credits, tokens, likes, kisses, interested etc. to suck up your money.

Full of women who are 3 out of 10 on the looks scale yet all wanting a guy who is a perfect 10
The women I saw were all demanding rude aggressive and very very picky
This despite the fact the were either overweight unattractive or past their best.

The funniest one I saw was a 44 year old 5 foot tall female saying she only dates attractive men over 6 foot and if you didn't fit the bill she'd block you

They should be grateful if anyone messages them nevermind making demands. You don't need to be a genius to work out this won't end up well. They'll be on there for years with their unrealistic nonsense. Not one profile showed any kindness or happiness radiating from it all it was what they wanted not what they could offer

#!... the pof staff that have access to the profiles changes mine, sends emails to people that are not even close to a match.
# 2 POF locks me out and demands my cell number to unlock my account. My cell is private personal information and no way in hell am I giving POF my cell number.
# 3 the women on pof are out to be wined and dined by everyone, in 5 years on pof i have not found one potential match. Very poor pool of people on pof. Im sure it is the same for the women that can t find a decent guy.
#4 if you have tons of free time and are easily amused. Then pof is for you, other than that pof is a waste of time.

I've had POF for 4 years, if the length of time doesn't tell you something's wrong with the site then I don't know what will. After my last round of dealing with a player, so to speak, I just went online and my account has been deleted. Now, my account was adhering to all the guidelines that POF set forth. I was not a fake, phony, scammer, bot, anybody looking for a handout or money and my account got blocked. Maybe it was the last person when I talked to who didn't like the fact that I said no thank you as opposed to ghosting them. And yet there are people, or scammers bots, on there that do exactly the opposite of what I have done. I NEVER once asked anybody for money, to pay my bills, to feed my kids, nothing. YET, there are still "people" on there doing these acts and I had got kicked off. So if anyone decides to read this from the POF team, just know that your site sucks and you have a bunch of POS's on there. Maybe plenty of fish should consider doing a little bit better of a job screening people so that the average person doesn't get screwed over. And to all you fakers that use POF to manipulate and deceive the average person, karma does come back and will get you one of these days. I guess in a way part of me is relieved I don't have to rely on some lame website to try and find a real person.

I've made tons of friends from this site. I been on it for over 13 years with the breaks when I had a boyfriend but as soon as my relationship ended there I was on pof again. I feel for the guys cause I heard some horrorstories but I speak for myself and say it has been and continues to be amazing for me. I love how you can scroll through who checks you out plus it seems like a limitless sea of guys wanting to talk or meet I am honest af on my profile and that is the key with any dating site in my opinion.

If you write an honest review based on your own personal experience with "Pof " unless it's a review that praises the site your review will be removed (by trust pilot) because "Pof" have seen fit to report it as "breaching guidelines " blah blah blah... pof has and always will have issues regarding scammers, hackers, accounts suddenly being deleted by pof, subscriptions being rolled over (as pof have made cancellation a minefield for users) zero effort made by pof to address legitimate complaints etc etc. the site is appalling and has been for years. Don't waste your hard earned money look for a more reputable site folks. Pof only wants your cash and to hold onto your profile so it appears to other new subscriber's there's zillions of members when in reality there isn't half the profiles are old members that were locked out of their accounts so unable to delete their active profiles...

This site is nothing more then craigslist in disguise. I signed up got my profile done, people load the mailbox of course. Then if you don't answer them asap they report you as a fake account or simply as 3rd grade revenge? 2 times I had my account shut down, im mixed Asian, I had a dozen first messages ask for sexual things, of course I did not reply I had a well filled out bio and recent pics meaning not ones from 1992 like most of the make users. I am a video gamer nerd so that's what I was looking for, it seems like there is nothing but ex jocks most married that cant deal with rejection, while there are some good guys on there far to many scumbags with woman issues, mental issues like abusers, control freaks, married and plan old cheater completely detour any chance of finding the decent people on there. I tried 2 times to the same effect I got reported and suspended? I messaged pof and absolutely played the race card? I in no way violated their rules even keeping a snap shot of my photos and bio, profile? I work so much I don't get time to date I work 3-3 at a bakery so I rarely have time to socialize, needless to say no response from POF. I told POF no where does it state you have to reply to sexual messages, which violate your rules you claim yet when I reported them they are still on? A complete disaster for decent men and woman--- the trolls own POF, there are definitely good men and woman very few on there that are being sidelined by these abusive users

SHAME on POF!

I recently created an account on POF with paying options and very quickly, very clearly, my account got hacked, i could no longer sign in. I was frustrated to not being able to call someone in emergency so i used the couple of emails found on their web site to tell them to cancel my account... No freaking response. Someone is still using my account to cause some harm out there with my pictures and profile and i feel horrible for not being able to do anything. I sent countless emails to POF, I received no response... So i have a lawyer look into that matter and i am hopefull to do something very quickly against their parent company...

Anyone has any legal experience going against them?

Where to start lol this new update they did is so broken. First of the search is not working at all type in a city just to get nothing but wide search if wanted that I would go on smartphone cause that app is a problem on its own anyways clicking on profile and clicking back send you to the first page of the search so makes it pointless and why give the option to disable chat? It's a dating site! Just a few problems among many this site is more time consuming now than before I'm actually thinking of deleting and not coming back. You would think that all the money they are charging to get premium they would hire a programmer that knows how to fix thing's and testes before applying the fix but in today's world everything is fast and done crappy... should have left thing's along and not change it this site now looks like a crappy version of Badoo haha

I wish I could leave 0 stars on this
I wish I could leave 0 stars on this site. If you're a female looking to be sexually harassed by men, join this. If you want your account deleted or deemed "fake" because you didn't respond to the sad, pathetic men who report you because of it, join this site. If you want zero assistance or answers from customer service, join it. This is the type of website that human traffickers probably use and get away with it but normal humans get deleted because they are too hot to be on the site so they think you're fake. Do yourself a favor and stay far far away from this trailer park trash dating site.

So many reasons why I dislike POF so much that I'm only going on when bored to send silly, pointless messages. Tried every type of message in the book but no women ever reply. I did however get a few replies but that was when I removed my picture. It makes me feel like I'm a monster. The women on there are so dam hard to get. They hate just simple hi messages, if I send them a longer message saying how nice they look or their clothes are they instantly block me (even one woman on reddit a member admitted she'd do the same thing if I sent her messages like that too) although my post was aimed at men so what the hell do I say? All the women there are mainly single moms that show off their bodies by showing their tattoos all while their kids are with their fathers plus others even showing their children in photo. Some think their dogs, cats or rabbits as they use some mobile phone app to give themselves animal ears and whiskers. Then there's other women who are already taken who put photographs on with their boyfriends. Finally not forgetting those fake scammers linking you onto porn websites.

Three years ago I was on this site on a free account. Was matched (mutually liked) my a fairly attractive 45-year old woman from my area. Sent a couple of messages to her, never received a reply...
I reopened my account the other day. Guess what, same woman, same picture, same age, mutual like...
I am thinking this is too much of a coincidence.
Other than that, the user base of real members in my area (Belgium) is extremely limited, and the site is quite badly designed from the UX point of view. If you are in an area with a reasonable critical mass of existing users, and if you can tolerate the weird UI, then by all means make your free account...
