The women on this site are so funny
They put they're looking for a serious relationship but in all their photos they have their boobs hanging out. What kind of first impression does that give? You think she is an easy lay not the settling down type. No woman with any class would put pics like those up
Lots of overweight women too, lots of nasty women. Lots of women who think they're a solid 9 when they're a 4 with make up on. They very picky and demanding which will make any decent man run a mile.
There is no way women would talk to men in real life like they do on here. The men would laugh and walk away
Only good thing is the log out button
This is a horrible dating site. I find most of the men to be incredibly rude, crude and extremely entitled. They believe they are entitled to a response from any lazy message they send. They believe they are entitled to know information about you that is no one's business. The behavior of a lot of men on the site is completely unacceptable. I have been on and off POF since March of 2017 and I've reached my limit with this site. I feel as though it's scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to dating.
After being on POF for about 6 months my eyes have been opened. I consider myself a decent guy. Good job ad own my own home. I don't do drugs or drink. It seems that the only women looking for someone like me are these 300 pound trailer park bimbos who think a fish sandwhich and going to walmart is fine dining and travel. I've expanded y search field and it only became worse. Any decent looking woman has a laundry list of don't, can'ts and must nots. I can't imagine being in anykind of a relationship with a controlling woman like that. My best advice is to stay away from this site. Run as fast as you can.
Actively cultivates and maintains fake profiles = bye bye. It's strange because they used to promptly remove fake profiles when reported, then they started to get a bit slow and picky with it for a brief time before recently stopping it altogether, whereupon the site was infested by an even more disproportionately high amount of particularly obvious and repetitive copy+paste fake profiles than usual, leaving the only assumption to be that they are created by pof themselves or purposefully allowed to be created for the same obvious reasons as most other dating sites/apps.
You can now report an obviously fake profile with an obviously 10-year old photo with an obviously different race, age, hair colour than it's photographs, with links to porn websites and account names for bogus messaging/social media accounts in it's description, and provide reverse image search links that prove it's images have been taken from one of the hundreds of places they are uploaded to on the internet, and they now leave them up on purpose... despite still having the report function at the bottom of the page to make it look like they still have a legitimate website...
POF is full of scammers, as well as rude men out for a roll in the sack only and their billing is just as bad. They make it so you have a hard time trusting anyone just sayin'.
This is just full of women that are not rights. They're either past their best or they never had a best to pass
They all have attitude problems as well. Tons of women in their 30s who must have slept with 100s of men and now want Mr right now their looks are going.
Even the fatties and plain women on here of which there are many have chips on their shoulders. They all have unrealistic expectations of the man they want. Total waste of time even signing up.
They are all revolting and undateable
My ex husband is on Plenty of Fish in the Knoxville, Tn.and Dandridge, Tn area claiming to pamper and be good to his woman when in reality, He emotionally abused me. His id number on Plenty of Fish is ******* and his name is Tim. Ladies, please be aware.
Pof is a joke an I say this cause no one seems sincere also most people are to far away to travel also there's profiles with no pic and very little about themselves
Ladies beware of a flairjess, 25 years old in Flossmoor on POF. He is on there preying on women for sex. He pretends to be a nice guy just to earn a person's trust. Then he uses them for sex. Once he gets sex enough times, he starts playing the hot and cold game, and eventually he doesn't want to be bothered. He doesn't want a relationship. He also degrades women. He disrespects women on social media also.
I started having problems on POF getting and sending messages. I contacted POF three times about my issues and they did nothing to resolve them. As far as the site goes, not bad but, the tech support is horrible! Don't expect help if you have issues. They don't care unless you are a paying member!
This dating site is disgusting is full of perverts and racist people guys are looking to have sex they are very disrespectful and a lot of white people treat Spanish girls like garbage
Was on here about 6 year ago and it wasn't good then. Now it's horrific, x30 worse
I sent a few messages and got ignored, 2 of them blocked me simply for asking how they were doing... That's not normal behaviour. Thing seems to be they're all thinking they're entitled to a model kind of guy when they should be happy if anyone sends them mail
Some real funny headlines
Don't message me if you voted Brexit, don't message if you're under 5,11 tall. Don't message if you don't have green eyes
They have a ruddy cheek
I'm in the UK and wondering is it just the women here that are stupidly deluded or are they the same all around the world?
As I said I was on here back around 2012 and didn't take long to see familiar faces. If they've been on POF for 6 years you think they Would realise they're overvaluing themselves but no they're so stupid they'll be on here in another 6 years still single. If Mr male model didn't want you when you were 31 he's not going to turn up when you're 40 is he?
Men should boycott this site
I will keep this short and sweet
Must be 200 men for every woman so all the women who would get zero attention in the real world become stuck up divas online, I have never seen so many women with chips on their shoulders.
They all claim to be independent as well yet cant see why no man wants them.
Online dating is useless for men and its only going to get worse. There is zero chance you will find a decent woman on here, all the best ones are taken, the rest are on here.
Plenty of fish, well not really, especially for older generation, yet in saying that younger ones as well.
SHOULD BE PLENTY OF WHALES
Sad sad story, not sure whether reality is truly part of this site.
Male point of view some of the ladies are from RSVP and there photos are like 3 years ago and probably same age as 3 years ago. Then there is the favourite lady sayings
No one night stands
Must be honest
Integrity
Photos should be current
No friends with benefits
Really not sure but I think it must be run by?

If you are a male or female with their life together, meaning job, car, no baby mama drama stay clear of POF. I swear its nothing but people with mental health issues, no social skills, control issues, abusive, insecure, desperate stalkers, the list goes on, i met one guy a total psycho, after one date come to find out he had multiple dui-s and claimed he did nothing wrong the police had it out for him? And had a wife? There are very few decent people on this site anymore as there used to be. Its not for decent people its for creeps, psychos and abusive types. Not to mention the people that use photos from college and high school claiming thats how they look now---SMH, true denial of the insane over there. To anyone reading this, you are better then POF
Any decent woman shouldn't need to be on a dating site & from what I've seen there's very few decent woman on POF
There's something wrong with them all. Either the job rules their life, they're fat, they're rude, they're unpleasant, they're unintelligent, they have kids, they have poor jobs, they have no class, no morals & extremely picky. They're all looking for Mr Right but Mr Right wouldn't look twice at this loss
How can you be 38 years old and longest relationship be under 1 year long? It's full of this kind of females and this tells you there's something wrong with them if they can't keep a man?
The women on this site want men for a meal ticket although I did meet one who was very nice and insisted on buying me lunch. Admittedly I had some bad experiences which I brought as baggage but "a few pounds" isn't 50 or 60 so I met a lot of overweight women if they were willing to meet at all. If you piss a couple off they are going to give you bad press and get your profile deleted.
Arrogant women, fat women who lie about their ages and post old pictures. I had one contacting me when I accused her of being fake my account was deleted
I've been a free member for quite some time. This website has become a porn, prostitute website and I am totally turned off by this. Fake men, women with their body parts hanging out! Over the years it has only gotten worse, men who post several fake accounts, turns out to be the same person. No credibility whatsoever. Run away from this website.
I recently when back onto the piece of $#*! dating website and it quite surprising and how Bull$#*! there is on the site. Like I don't date black men or you got 6ft tall for me to date seriously this how picky these women are and if you don't meet their tick list they just don't want to know. Another nearly all women on there always jump the gun when they put i'm not looking for one night stand or friends with benefits and not all men are like that.
I love to send all these bad reviews to Markus Frind to tell him how $#*!ing $#*! this site actually is
I have had nothing but bad experiences on this site and to tell you the truth this site is a waste of time and very depressing I haven't got any confidence what so ever but when a girl tells you "you're their type" it really knock you back for me it has gotten to the point where I tell the person to Bollocks or go screw themselves or telling them to stick it etc this site isn't that great because woman on there are too fucking picky and so are high maintenance and looking guy with no brains or on drugs good looking with big dicks they don't seem to know you do etc whoever create this site needs to shut it down for good
Very poor customer service. They don't vet the profiles and they allow criminals, wife beaters and abusers to become members. The men posing as single and successful are actually married and financially broke.
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.
