I took my profile off the site late last year, only to find the EXACT ad running on sites I never joined. Three months later, my profile re-appears on POF! I tried to take it off, only for the system to reject it. After hours upon hours to track down POF, I got through. Pay a fee and they will take it off. No problem, I sued!

Deluded females
April 20, 2019

Would love to know how many messages these females get

They talk about how there must be a spark but theyre totally missing the point
If you are a 4-10 in the looks department as all of them seem to be you cant really talk about demanding a spark can you? If you are a 10-10 then you can say this. But the females on here arent anywhere close. Thats the problem, i have no issue with average or plain looking females but dont come on POF and start talking how you must find a man you have a spark with and have a daft OTT checklist of what a partner must have - when you are average looking or carrying extra weight.

Its basically average looking females demanding ridiculously good looking men. Not gonna happen is it? Am i the only one who can see why they are all bitter man haters? The word deluded springs to mind

Useless
April 20, 2019

The women all seem to have a chip on their shoulder. They all seem to be unpleasant... That's the ones that are real and not fake

Majority of them are not particularly good looking and don't have much personality
It doesn't take much imagination to see why they are on Pof
Silly thing is they think they are a top catch and act like a diva. Looking at the profiles they plainer they are the more demands they make what they are looking for
They should just be grateful that anyone sends them messages

Definitely the leftovers no men want
There is a reason they are on a dating site like this.

It only took me 2 days to realize this website is an effing joke.

It does NOTHING of what it claims it does.
Every useful feature is hidden behind a $#*!ing ridiculous pay wall and hidden engineered back end mechanics.

Don't waste your time and god damn it don't you dare waste a dime on this dumb $#*! waste of time. Holy $#*!. People actually fall for these little scams hidden in these dating sites. Unreal.

Deleted By POF
April 17, 2019

Since I have complained so many times about the fake accounts on this site, they blocked me from signing in. I guess that it's easier to block me than fix the problems.

Fake profiles

This site is a joke and I can't log on and not get flooded with fake profiles. You have to be a moron to be a paying member.

Over run by fakes
April 14, 2019

Don't waste your time. 1 in 5 profiles is fake and it a scam. 20 something women scantly clad in bikinis or less claiming to be 40-50+ average women. Some blatantly asking for sex in their profile. POF doesn't review a thing when profiles are created because they are way to easy to spot. Usually a single picture and mumbling broken English comments in their profiles. All claim to be Caucasian even when obviously not. When they message you it's alway "Hey there :)" . Every time. Wasted site as it's been overtaken by bots and fakes

First there's not a real customer service number, there's no way to contact someone for assistance. Next in order to use the service you have to answer the very limited options even if they doubt apply, meaning a person would have to lie in order to use the service. My parents background, income and job title are none of their business! Then when I wasn't happy about these questions and not interested in their service I was not allowed to cancel and delete my account, advised I have to wait at least 24 hours, enough time for them to extract my information. I am extremely uncomfortable with this.

Amazingly bad
April 6, 2019

The men obviously outnumber the women so badly that fat, old, ugly women think they are a 10. The women even get snotty in their profiles, demanding certain qualities and coming straight out with man hating statements that make you wonder why they are even on the site. A previous poster hit the nail on the head, most of the women complain that men only want sex but if you go on a date and are a gentleman they dismiss you as "too nice." I went on a date and after dinner the woman even came out and told me she was confused that I was not trying to get in her pants the minute we sat down. I guess I should have proposed meeting her in the toilet for a quickie between the appetizer and meal. Another woman told me she wanted a "real man" with a motorcycle and tattoos. It must not have occurred to her the corner bar is full of them. Many women seem to prefer "Harley rides at midnight" and their profiles suggest years of practice in bar games like pool and darts. Some won't even fill out the profile fully, saying "ask me" and then when you ask you never hear back. A typical woman will maybe respond once and that's it. But you can see they are still on the site and still "fishing" making you think they want attention but have no intention of meeting in real life. The fake profiles and women that appear to be hookers round out a miserable experience to those seeking a date that does not involve a man hating woman that thinks they are a catch after being chewed up by ex husbands and putting on pounds from keg stands.

Signed up saw a load of fake profiles & profiles with obese unattractive or very plain females
A profile I read said "CALL ME BABE + UR BLOCKED" as the headline
This was from an obese women who had a real attitude problem. She should have been grateful to be called babe looking at the state of her.

Looked around some more & just saw desperately picky unattractive women saying how they weren't prepared to settle for 2nd best. Frankly they should be grateful men are even sending them messages in the 1st place. ALL of them seemed to have a chip on their shoulders

I logged out never to return

Let's not beat about the bush. It's much easier for women to meet a man than the other way round so the fact the women have to resort online dating says it all
They're ugly or fat. Sometimes both. They call themselves princess as the username but I've never seen a princess that looked so rough.
They have issues otherwise they wouldn't be single. They are damaged screwed up and are undateable
Most are a 2/10 but stupidly believe they are a 10 and won't settle for anything less than a CK model.
It's quite pathetic really. Online dating is for women that can't get a man in the real world

Lots of hookers
March 31, 2019

Seems that this site is for hookers. Can't tell you how many times I get someone who looks 25, claims she is 55 and says nothing but "hi there." followed by a web link.

I have never been able to log into my account using the login and password I have set, moreover the option to recover my password has never worked for me, I tried a few times, just never received their email, I have only received an email on the account's creation. Now I have an online profile that I can't delete because you can't contact customer service either... In short: Avoid, it sucks.

Not a dating site
March 16, 2019

The only kind of conversation
I've had so far is women who do sex videos and have posted their profile to send you the webbangocams.com or some other kind of sex site where they will be starring and so will others.
This is sad because I haven't had
One real response yet.
Anyhow... why would a man view someone touching themselves on a website when he can invite one over and touch her in person.
That is not the most Christian sounding thing I've ever said.
But that is the reality of what it is
When someone redirects you to a porn site.
It is so sad that there is no real dating and interaction sites where someone can meet another person or even find new friendships with females.
I'm a pretty all right looking
Slender tall man
And I desire to have
More female friends
And maybe a relationship, too.
This site (POF) is owned by match.com
I will probably do better without a dating site- on my own.

Terrible
March 11, 2019

In order for this site to have 3 stars they must be from 2003 when you had a chance at meeting someone not today

When you finally finish wading through the TONS and TONS of fake profiles and ones trying to sell you nudes which must be 70 percent of the site you'll come to the real women and wish you hadn't bothered

To say they are rude aggressive and unpleasant is an understatement. I immediately thought nobody wants these women and they're bitter now. Misandry is rife

If I'm being polite I'd say they were all very average looking
If I was being honest id say they were either
Overweight,
Past their best,
Tattooed all over and proud!
Unintelligent
Utterly Deluded
An entire picky mob who all think they will get a male model and won't reply to anyone who doesn't look like one regardless of how they look. Online dating is for women not men that much I realised

If you're below average looking and mid 30s early 40s how can you have a checklist of 12 things a guy must say yes to? It's ridiculous the women act like that and they seriously wonder why they are single
They need to realise the difference between being realistic and being totally deluded. The older you get the more your worth goes down. It's like a car. Why would I would an old banger when I can get a decent model. I would wager the same women will be on here in 10 years time no doubt still nasty bitter and with the same photos up

I did chuckle when they put they enjoy road trips. You live in Wolverhampton ffs not near route 66 plus you don't drive!
They also like the beach when there's not one near for 300 miles. Also hobbies sleeping, snoozing and gaming aren't going to endear yourself to me

Ps what's with all the photos of women kissing their dogs? I like dogs but don't wanna kiss them. Love me love my dogs is a well worn headline they use.

You have bad encounters site, POF is worse than that, this is a bad site ruled by dishonest stupid people.

I made an account in France it was not so many people, but i see there were plenty in UK, so i made 2 accounts
In the french side, i was contacted daily by scammers, which had always the same name (like Mary*******), the same city (St Denis) the same occupation, the same dialog. Every day you start to get angry with them but with moderation too, because they are unable to block a stupid scammer doing the same fakes and visiting me with 50 new profiles everyday.
How surpised i was to see POF blocked ME, and blocked my 2 accounts just with the IP adress i guess.

SO how the hell they are not able to block scammers if they can block every account in a IP adress?
This show this site goes further in dumbness, it looks like they do 50/50 with the online frauds, cause they prefer to remove users to cover them.
This site is a shame it is not only the worst encounter site but maybe the worse in every category. This one should be closed and $#*! Markus should be in jail.
I hope this is a question of time, sites like this one should not exist

This site is so overrun by scammers. PoF will delete a REAL profile for calling them out. Check out this email's grammar. This profile was supposed to have been written by a man holding a Bachelors degree:

"please reply me with your email address so that we can talk better because i am not always on this site" EWWWWW

It's bad enough having to wade through the sex addicts and men with mental, physical, and hygienic challenges, and pretty certain hot looking guys are on their way out of life from STDs, but if you're not really blessed with a lot of free time and want to at least -sort of- screen possible mates, at least it's free.

Match.com is no better for quality potentials, tbh. Paying creeps are still creeps. $20/mo for a website full of emotionally starving, intellectually inept individuals is like shooting- or scooping out- fish in a barrel. Today's sexual predator is a wolf in sheep's clothing on these sites.

They could be good sites, but for the crappy people. Much like the world, huh?

Maybe it's time for a class action lawsuit?

SIGN ME UP for THAT!

I was mislead.
March 4, 2019

POF excells in the art of. B. S. Today I met a man on there who was a total a**s wipe. I am a middle aged overweight woman
I do know the odds of rejection are high. But did the guy have to call me hideous? Like I had a half a face? Bad enough I was abused most of my life! Doesn't this site know how to match people?!? I believed the viewed me column in that site meant that the guys who did see me liked me not HATED me! Then I get these messages that this so and so wants to meet me but in reality does not. I HATE DATING! I now wish I could be spayed like a dog so that I never have to deal with the opposite sex ever again!
