Plenty of Fish

Was a nice site when founded in 2003. What most people do not realize is that the site has since be sold to a dating giant -along with its good reputation- who changed the whole setting - and the reputation as well. Looks like present owner knows how to earn money and probably went into data sharing (selling?) business; anyway, there seem to be now a lot of people who have quite other ideas in their heads but dating...

Waste of money! Wish I would have read the reviews before signing up!
This site is horrible! It's filled with catfish and fake profiles. Not only that if you try and block someone Plenty of Fish doesn't block them and continues to show up in your feed!

POF keeps deleting my profile for no reason just minutes after I spend sufficient time creating it!
Men wonder why there's no attractive women on it but the moment there is, they all accuse you of being fake!
POF verifies you at the beginning of creating things, but then just deletes your account with no explanation, just logs you out! Then you can't get a hold of anyone in their office to ask anything!
Done with this stupid site!

The females on POF all seem to believe they are princesses. They will only reply if you have the 6/6/6. Six figures in the bank, six feet tall, and a six-pack.
The hilarious thing is that they are the exact opposite of what they demand.They're short, distinctly average,and out of shape.

They'll be on this site forever because their standards are totally unrealistic.

98% do not respond to " hi, liked your- whatever you read in their profile" they delete it some read, and then delete. After being on this site for 60 days 2021-22. I can honestly say it is not worth the money. If you do not become a full paying member, you will never know who you are writing to has been on the site. Until you check your sent box and for me out of 40 sent messages the longest on was not on this site for 198 days, the shortest one 16 days not read. Why would you want to send a message to some that have not been active on the site for 45-198 days. Why? Cause POF is only interested in your $$$$$. Don't join OkCupid either-big waste your $$$$$- take yourself out for a nice dinner. I am done with an American woman who is online and since I am a nice guy I say how I really feel about them. There are no pictures to show.

All the women are either snobs or depressed etc I haven't blocked by these snobs more times than i can count. If you are a shy guy like me its you'll get more bang for your buck (pardon the punt) by seeking social therapy and seeing a psychologist and learn how to be social in public to meet people, or join social groups.
P. S
Get off social media

POF is a great example of the quality of person you get on a free dating site.

Most of who can't even be bothered to fill out their profile properly and just whine that they can't see likes. Why on earth would I be interested in someone who is too lazy too fill a bio out?
I would say 90% of the site's users are unmarried mothers

Other traits include being unhealthy, covered in tattoos, having bad teeth, a lack of humour, and a lack of class. You are dealing with terrible people who bizarrely act like they're Cindy Crawford in her prime! The entitlement and delusion is hilarious

If that's not bad enough, they all expect to find someone 6 feet tall and with no baggage!

Pof is just full of single moms who all can't wait to tell you their children will always come first, but they expect you to make them your top priority and be happy to settle down with another man's children. If the children are that important why aren't they still with the father?

There are Lots of people who can't be bothered to say anything, apart from how they can't see likes or how time wasters need to keep away.

I don't want to give it even one star. It's full of dreadfully classless people

App deleted

I started using POF as a 45 y/o white male looking for a woman to date between the ages of 32 and 50. I designated myself as a non-smoker in an Atlanta Metro area of the country and elected that I do not date smokers. POF consistently sent match options for Lexington KY, Columbia SC, Panama City FL etc. Note, these are all about 5 hours or more from my location, and they do not have a way to limit the mileage of who is presented. POF also has no options for filtering out smokers. Their security scans are abysmal as about 75% of the options presented as a match are scammers, bots or some other fake account. Long story short, do not waste your money. Also, don't recommend eharmony. None of these sites offer a partial (buyers remorse) refund of any kind. By definition, the POF site is a scam.

I met Bruno 3 years ago. He has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and narcissistic tendencies. He mentally and physically abused me and was charged with 5 counts of assault. He also verbally and sexually abused me and treated me with complete disrespect. This man is very sick and dangerous. He appears to be charming and friendly but he is not. Please ladies do not engage or get involved with this man He will hurt you and destroy you.
I added his profile picture from POF.

I took advantage of their 3 month package deal and only used it for 3 weeks. It was not even worth my time. As you use the site day after day you will notice how different women will message you the same exact responses. You then began to notice something is wrong and you are being jerked off by the company. If you're bored and don't mind scammer / robot love then feel free and spend your cash. Otherwise if you are serious and seeking real love, by pass this site. I give this site
-3 stars

This site is full of people pretending to be someone they're not. I've been on it for about 6 weeks and most of the people I've communicated with prove not to be who they say they are when take the time to check their photos. I've posted an example but there have been more, this guy was the mist prolific. His photos actually appeared in 3 different places under 3 different names. I certainly would not pay to be on this site.

I have noticed that 90% of the men on POF is 50 years old, come on men put your current age you will stand a better chance of finding someone, be honest some looks like great grandfathers but they are 50. This site is very disappointing looking at all those exposed tattoos and shirtless men. Ladies you can do better I came on this site to see what was available but to my surprise there was nothing. This site is like a box of chocolate, you never know what's inside. Good luck ladies.

There must be at least an 90% ratio of men to women, which means you'll be competing with thirsty, desperate men all the time, and that renders it pointless. Secondly, there's very few decent women on there anyway. Even the very best online would only be classified as middling offline, and the rest are truly mediocre. The one thing they're all extremely good at is being demanding, picky, and immature.

Do they not realise that demanding someone over six foot tall is utterly insane? Especially when they're only five foot three

Ps what's with all the tattoos, large oversized glasses and nose rings?

Total waste of time, and lures from notifications someone likes you start coming in and requests to meet and likes. Once you pay to respond theres crickets as its obviously Bots to trick you into membership.
This is why there is a mandatory 3 month fee for 66.00 as you will find out its worthless. No refunds.

Pof has changed for the worse now...it sucks...When scanning through profiles it now goes to a white blank page after approximately 8 swipes...Dumb strategy...You will lose more people...This is greed and aggravating aggression to get money in a scammers way...Worst app now...unless you feel like being upset don't even bother...This is the definition of pointless

Too many fake profiles and bots that are on the Plenty of fish dating site. Also it seems half the women are friends with benefits or bring their drama to a new relationship. I will just stay single for awhile.

Don't waste your money or time. All the profiles are inactive or spam. There are no actual people on this site interested in dating. I am considering contacting a lawyer and initiating a class action law suite since POF is charging you to browse fake profiles & not providing an opportunity to interact with other members.

I HAVE paid, zoosk, mingle, Christian ( sex pool) Our Time which I filled out for another but they kept putting me with the over 50, and a few others. I paid and looked... Nobody in 10 miles, 25 50 75? Come on! Think about this. You finally find somebody somewhat compatible, then arrange schedules, pick a spot half way in between. Do either of you really know a good place to meet? A local place to eat? The parking lot at Wally World? NO! Neither one wants to drive all the way there and back. So in retrospect the dating sites are contributing to each failed long distance relationship just to make more money.
