Ladies, women, beware and STAY FAR AWAY from a man with the username flairjess, 25 years old on POF. He put his place of location as n/a, Illinois. He uses women for sex. He PRETENDS to be a nice guy until he uses people enough times for sex. Afterwards, he wants his space, he becomes hard to reach by phone and will start becoming extremely emotionally abusive and verbally abusive. Eventually, he will get to a point where he doesn't want to be bothered anymore. Something is terribly wrong with him! He devalues women he uses for sex. He DOESN'T want a relationship. Furthermore, he enjoys making fun of women. Women, DON'T give flairjess, 25 years old, any of your time. AVOID HIM. HE IS EVIL.
My name is Mick=*******@gmail.com. Please get in touch. I am Retired. Am looking to get married soon.
POF was the first dating site I ever tried just a week ago, got my account deleted because got tired of scammers trying to con me so I got upset and I told them how it was so I got blocked from being able to sign in, nothing but scammers prostitutes and fakes on this site, it totally blows just like the creator Markus frind Who truly is a living breathing anus
I've been on this site for couple weeks now and it's not free. Once you have started a chat with someone they all start the same, Hey there, then it's automatic. They give you the link to another site and want to to go there. If you don't, then that's it. Chat is finished. Seems to me that the due only promotes a variety of other sites. And when you are really interested in someone you get blocked by the company until you pay. It's bogus if you ask me.
This sums pof up
Saw a profile from an average looking woman with a huge nose
It said only contact me if you're decent looking
I asked her why she had put that & she said she was tired of being messaged all time by mingers (slang for ugly)
It didn't occur to her that she herself was no oil painting.
Women 3/10 thinking they can get guys who are 10/10. Absolutely ridiculous
The women on here must get hundreds of messages from desperate men. That's the only explanation I can think for so many unattractive overweight women having such an attitude problem chip on their shoulders. 99% of the ones I saw you wouldn't go near yet act like they're princesses
All the females who for years have been ignored suddenly thanks to online dating think they're a great catch. Lol. Talk about deluded.
Either try the real world or stay single but don't give these women the satisfaction of a message
It has turned into nothing more than a total scam site. Within my zip codes that I have a home there are no less than 18 and sometimes as high as 32 total foreign scams as well as locals offering their services. POF has the ability to block all of these before hand, but chooses not too. $$$$$ Involved?
Compulsive liar and cheat. Not a manager and certainly doesn't have a degree. Just want to scam rich women and looking for loads of f. Buddies to compete with friends and family. Still has a Mrs in his life.
The women can say they want a good man or honest one but unless you look like a male model you'll be ignored.
It doesn't matter that the women on here are all ridiculously below average looking and offer nothing back it's all about what they want. They all think they're princesses and won't settle for anything less than some perfect stunning man yet can't understand why they're single. I laugh when their profile says they enjoy going out but also enjoy staying in. Such insight into their lives
I deliberately messaged a woman just to see, she was 32, overweight, smoked and had a job as a carer which means she's not very intelligent and her longest relationship was 1 year. I said hello how are you AND SHE BLOCKED ME. Seriously a woman no man would want was seriously picky. It just made me laugh that some whale could be so choosy.
I did get 1 message. It was from a 49 year old divorcee who said hi. I asked how she was and she said **** & proceeded to say how she can't find a man who is honest and can't trust anyone anymore. What kind of first impression is that? Moaning and cursing? Terrible standard of woman on here
They're all deluded and not worth the hassle usually photos from 2013 too
Ps how does the review below get through just shilling for another site?
I had been on pof for about 8 months. Had quite a few disaster dates. I decided I would close my account as there were a lot of players, time wasters and liars. I had one more try with a guy I had noticed who lived in the same town as me. I sent a flirt. Within an hour I received a reply, we chatted for hours then decided we would meet 2 days later. On 20. 6. 2018 we met in the local pub, chatted for hours and set another date. We are still together and spend most of our free time together. We have now set and booked our wedding day for 20. 6. 2020. I would like to thank pof. There are genuine people on the site, just a shame the idiots spoil it. I had to kiss a few frogs before I met my Prince, the most amazing man I could ever meet. Be patient he/ she is out there for u
Was on here about 18months ago and was bad, thought I would give it a try again. Huge mistake its even worse now!
Loads of same familiar faces from 18 months ago still asking where are all the good men? With the same photos they had in 2017, how can you not find a decent man in 18 months unless you are uber picky?
I saw one profile and a 36 year old woman put that her dog will always come first in the relationship, I thought she was joking so messaged and asked and she replied she was deadly serious. This is the type of person you are dealing with, who puts a dog before a man?
Another profile had a list of about 10 things you must adhere to in order to message her, not to meet and have dates, just to message! Must have brown hair, blue eyes and be over 185 cm tall etc, Its just silly, you look at them and they are 160cm and no oil painting
Not meaning to be rude but most of the women on here have issues, they either socially awkward and find it difficult to send more than one word replies or they are all extremely picky and all holding out for some super hero Channing tatum guy to come along and rescue them. Totally unrealistic. Then there are the men haters, loads of them seem to be women scorned and just nasty unpleasant for the sake of it. There is no way they would dare say in real world what they say online, or maybe they do and thats why theyre single
I notice as well the women love to put photos that are not of them, but of landscapes, their pets and silly memes with sayings on, or cakes they have baked
Online dating has turned all women into thinking they are princesses
Finally the scam fake profiles are ridiculous, its like the person owning the website has given up and just lets fakes post without doing anything.
I swear every person i click on, that i find attractive is just a fake account, they want your phone number right away, clearly to scam you somehow
The "men" on here are stupid and picky narcissistic trash that only want a woman to worship that sweaty turd of STDs between their legs. They are poor fatasses with no personality or anything else, short and weigh 300-400lbs. With full titties, stinky $#*!ty neckbeards, mid-20s and never had a girlfriend, and stay at home with their parents and no job with their weird lameass friends. They think deserve a supermodel to drag around the other bastards like a $#*!ing trophy. They don't. They don't deserve $#*!. If you find a "man" from here, they will trick you for a while, and soon enough, their true side will show. They will be abusive and treat you like worthless disposable $#*!ing trash to be used for their own mischievous purposes, when you only want to treat them kindly and lovingly. Run away from this $#*!show while you still can!
Of quixotic901. He uses his ex poliman and military and owner of properties and say he produces documentary. He say all this to get women. He will love bomb you until his had enough and then ghost you with no conscious. He has at least 5 women on the go at the same time and he is very good at keeping them all secret.
Be aware of Jones6181 he's a cheater says he wants to be exclusive but will come right back on pof to find more dates eww how many women is he sleeping with
It's free. I never get responses. Most of the women are not attractive. The world is supposed to be plentiful of fish looking for a mate yet I have never found one here. Most of us will never find love in any form we try and the electronic world is no different. But I least I don't have to pay. You get what you pay for. You see what I mean?
Not a great site
The women are all looking for the perfect man regardless of how they look themselves. I've seen profiles that say you must be between 29 and 31 must have brown hair and be between 6 foot and 6^3 tall. Can you imagine that happening in the real world in a bar? A women saying no I'm not interested as you have the wrong colour hair? It shows how silly these females are on here
Most of the women are past the best or are really bitter and have seen better days yet they on here demanding the perfect man. A lot can't even put the photo on the right way up. They put childish things for the profession too.
I've just read one profile which said answer 20+15 in your reply so i know you've read this hahaha you couldn't write about how demanding this lot are.
My view is if you're over 30 then your best days are gone so you have no right being so damn picky you get what you're given. I have also noticed females love showing their tattoos and kissing the pets in photos. Not very appealing in the slightest
There are way tons of fake profiles on here. Easy to spot but literally hundreds of them pretending to be real people
You might find some easy lay on here but the women of your dreams. Forgetaboutit
I'll Leave you with this. If these women are as amazing as they think they are how come no guy snapped them up years ago and put a ring on it?
Now I've been on several dating apps and I can tell you this is kind of basic. I mean you can still message people or see who like you, but it still has those upgrades that you don't really have to pay for. So then why am I giving it four stars well I'll tell you why. This site is the most real dating site. You don't have to wait to message someone, you don't have to be 100% compatible with someone, you just talk and get to know someone. I should know because I've found someone on here and we've really hit it off. We both really like each other and I can't wait to see where it goes. So if you think this isn't the right dating site for you just remember, I found someone on there... think about it.
I would give it a zero if i could. The search function is hidden. You enter, for example, an age range, and POF ignores it completely! It's a feature they claim! I asked where this was documented! Nowhere! And when i complained a few days after paying they said "Too bad." The worst ever!
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.
