Not good!
February 14, 2018

POF sent me on dates with serial-dating women that were only interested in a free meal... furthermore... they sent me on a date with a catholic school teacher that was only interested in my finances and worth... I have been on several dates from match and they are not the "miracle" dating service that they portray themselves to be.

This is a web sight for men to just use women for sex while pretending to want something real. Even the profiles that say looking for long term are really not. I have never been ghosted in my entire life and these people will say and do anything for sex and then disappear like a magic trick. This sight should be shut down. It is likely the reason for more break ups and divorces then relationships. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME REALLY! ALL USERS AND ABUSERS SPREADING DISEASES!

Useless
February 5, 2018

Sent out quite a few messages and they all looked at my profile. Have a good job and work out. Not one reply. 4 of them actually blocked me for sending them a polite message. Who do they think they are? No thanks but no thanks just ignore or block, what lovely people. They all seem to be waiting for some hot model to message them. Half of them can't be bothered to fill the profile out and a lot can't work out how to put their photo the right way up... let's be honest if they're that ignorant and rude then it's no great loss. Women need to change their stuck. Up attitude or nobody will want them

Only messages I got were ridiculous scammers with links wanted you to sign up for their site. Oh and the meet me were just fake profiles you could spot a mile off

Plenty of low grade trash

The rant/review below from the woman sums their attitude up.

Pof SUCKS
February 4, 2018

THE GUYS on POF are the biggest LOSERS on the planet. They are either looking for a woman that will wipe their a**e* or want a puppet on a string to be available 24/7 for when ever they are not going out with their jock jerk friends. POF DOES NOT have the number of men and woman it claims as there are many fake profiles and MANY MORE DUPLICATES. I have watch ultra match. It starts with 70 prospective mates and after deleting the majority of dog, cat or smokers I may luck out with 2 out of 10. Of the 2 1 is definitely good looking but has no interest in anything but hitting the sheets and are masaganist at heart, the other 1 out of two are lushes and half the time would probably use a sheep or what ever else they can get their penises into. LOSERS! For the few real guys that are legit, woman are so worn out they have probably given up on finding some one real and would make good marriage or even dating material. I think that both sexes with any real potential have probably burned out and have given up. TRULY A WASTE OF YOUR TIME.

Its a bizarre cyber universe where a handful of women lord it over a mass of guys competing for dates. If you aren't a GQ guy you'll be lucky to date fat ugly women who expect you do give them the world. Plenty of fake phishing messages though.

Nasty horrible women
January 28, 2018

You can't blame the site it's the content but with so many blatant fake profiles appearing it surely can't last much longer. Although I'm sure Markus has made enough money

Basically the girls on this site are the leftovers on society. They are the ones you see in a bar at closing time still on the own
They are fat (but say plus sized). They are unintelligent lack class and are just common trash
You wouldn't take any of these to meet your mum
But strangely they don't see how bad they are they actually think they're a catch LOL. Check out the usernames HOTPROPERTY. SEXIBABE4U. SMARTANDSEXY. Hahaha you have to admire the optimism of these unattractive whales.

Decent women don't need POF to find a guy.

A sewer
January 26, 2018

An online sewer all with unrealistic women thinking they are some sort of catch despite their best years behind them. 'Here I am ' or 'You've found me ' are popular headlines... really? Maybe 15 years ago

Full of Soulless materialistic types who think S*x And the City is how to live your life. Spend all their time on social media and their photos are all skimpy selfies despite being 37 sticking their tongues out drunk

They say they have great family friends and their life is in order and they love going on holidays. But they're reaching the end of time for child bearing. They so great yet no man has ever asked them them to marry them. The good ones get snapped up quickly and the fact they're on here bragging how great everything is but they've never had a relationship longer than a year tells me all i need to know. They've never been able to hang onto a man and that's a huge sign something is wrong with them

Mind boggles how many partners they've slept with and been out partying every night having fun and now they want to settle down with a decent guy. No thanks I'm worth more than these skanks on on here. So stop posting thinking you're a catch when you should have settled down years ago.

About three quarters of all the responses I get on POF are obviously attempts to rip me off or upgrade me. Women will contact me, always asking for my email account. Giving me some piss poor reason like 'I can't upload images on POF. I'm new here!' when it is just as easy to upload a photo on POF as any email. Then, coincidentally, their profiles are removed after I question their statements. All in all, POF is populated by scammers and not in my opinion a legit dating site.

Worse than dreadful
January 21, 2018

How on earth does this site get 3.5 stars?

It must be all the people from wejustfit or whatever it is coming on here giving it great marks but also using it to promote their site

This site is full of women who think they're brand new Lamborghinis when in fact they're 30 year old Chevvys with rust and due for the scrap yard

The women constantly complain about men only wanting one thing but don't seem to get dressing your main photo as a pouting bikini shot isn't going to get any decent men messaging them

They're all stuck up and seem to think they are way better than they actually are. I hope the internet breaks and then they have to put the hard yards in the real world. No men would waste their time chatting them up in a bar but on the internet they lose touch with reality hence the Lamborghini/Chevvy comparison

POF has a lot of unintelligent people. Way too many netspeak-users and cliche-ridden profiles.

They also have some heavy-handed "autoblock" policy where you can't message someone more than 10 years younger than you. Even if POF shows their profile when you're surfing.

So that beautiful blonde in an American flag bikini? Sorry, she turned 21 after you turned 31. No dice.

The worst part is the one girl I sort of "met" was creepy. I never saw her in person but she saw me twice when I was eating at the McDonald's in her WalMart. She never talked to me but would text me saying she saw me there and it was... creepy.

Wish it was that hot girl that saw me, not this unattractive creeper.

Site could work if you put effort in, but not if you're a "guy like me".

When POF frist started, it was interesting. Some nice ladies and interesting as well. Now, they all try to impress you with their "great bodies" online. It seems POF should enforce their decency code. I'm not interested in seeing a 60 year old woman in a bikini, not that there is anythng wrong that that (apparently). In reality, it seems POF has gone the way of many of the international sites in trying to squeeze money out of you in any way possible.

I was last on this site in 2011 and although wasn't great then it wasn't that bad and the women seemed ok and replied. Fast forward to 2018 and wow it's truly horrible. The whole universe seems to be on here and the women seem determined to punch above their weight.
I signed up and didn't take me long to see a photo from the past. A woman in a black bikini next to a swimming pool I remembered. So unless she's Peter Pan she's using the same photo from 6 years ago. Some guy is going to be in for a shock if they meet. I guess it must be all an ego trip.

Saw a few other faces from the past just with different hair etc and couldn't help but think if you are on a dating site for 6 years surely you'd think I'm being too picky or it's not working. How is it possible to be on pof that long and not find a decent man? Yes sure there are sleazy men but must be some good ones.

From what I remember at least back in 2011 the woman were somewhat polite. This 2018 mob are just rude picky and crazy. Page after page of profiles all the same. All like holidays and socialising. Alot of them don't have photos, have photos kissing their pets or photos I'd class as inappropriate for a open source 'dating' site. I'm not a prude but half your body naked for all to see?

I think most on here for attention and no intention of dating or they're looking for a man that doesn't exist. There's a lot of low quality women on here with high demands Which really doesn't make sense as I said before quite a lot seem to want to punch above their weight. They all want a 10/10 but if they were out a night they would do well to get a 4/10 guy. The internet sends them all crazy I think
And if there's one thing that is going to make me ignore a profile it's READ PROFILE BEFORE MESSAGING
Havent these women heard of being polite?

Definitely gone downhill in last 6 years and judging from the toxic woman on here I've not missed a great deal. Used to be dating now looks like a hook up place for unpleasant pouting brats. I'll leave it another 6 years before I bother again

As a transgender woman with or without surgery, it is hard for me to find a man who is willing to accept me for who I am. I have been using online dating sites for four years and I still have not accomplished my biggest dream. The reason why I am giving this site such a low rating is because once each guy sends me a like, I end up being blocked by many of them on this site every time I begin to text them. Maybe because they think it's funny to joke around with trans girls or because they enjoy hurting them. It is either legit or a scam, but in whichever way, I would not recommend it to transgender ladies. I even reported a few guys for doing that and even though it is a free website, I don't think this site is worth it.

The profiles are either fake or belong to THE MOST DELUSIONAL women on the planet! One woman said she wanted to be spoiled. Jokingly I asked her how so? She literally responded "Babe send me money. " Really b#tch.!? LMAO! Don't waste your time or money here. Totally not worth it.

Worthless
December 28, 2017

I'm sure this site might have been okay 10 years ago but now it's rancid chock a block and no chance finding anybody decent
Half the profiles are fake and make no attempt to hide the fact they are screenshots to get people to sign up for an adult site. I'm guessing it must be 95% men and 5% women after browsing the profiles and seeing how nasty and demanding the women are. Must be saturated with guys so much that the women all start thinking they're hot when they're anything but

It must be an attention fix as nobody wants to date. One profile had an average looking women saying if you message just and said hi/hello you would be blocked and then another rambling list of what you had to do just to get a reply from her. They must have tons of desperate guys messaging if they can get away with talking to strangers like that. I thought the idea of this was to get men to like you not scare them away.

30 minutes of my life I'll never get back
