Ugly women inside and out
December 27, 2018

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

User beware
December 17, 2018

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.

Stay away!
December 8, 2018

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.

PlentyOfFakes
November 17, 2018

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...

Don't waste your time

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'.

Waste of time
November 7, 2018

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

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.

No technical support
October 9, 2018

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!

Deluded and rude females
September 24, 2018

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

Most unpleasant women ever
September 23, 2018

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.

POF NO SHOULD BE POW
September 20, 2018

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?

JUST SAY NO!
September 19, 2018

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

Rank bad women
September 9, 2018

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.

Worst dating site ever
September 1, 2018

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

The worst dating site
August 28, 2018

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.
