Plenty of Fish Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of Plenty of Fish (POF) is largely negative, with customers expressing significant dissatisfaction regarding the quality of profiles and user interactions. Common concerns include a high prevalence of fake profiles, rudeness, and entitlement among users, particularly women, who are perceived as unrealistic in their dating expectations. Many reviews highlight poor customer service, including issues with account management and a lack of effective support. While some users acknowledge the site's potential for connecting singles, the overwhelming sentiment suggests that POF has declined in quality and user experience, leading many to seek alternatives.

Very Bad
December 8, 2017

This site leads to an overload of SPAM and junk that you will never get rid of. I am signed up for sites I have never heard of. There are some nice people on it that I am sure are getting as SPAMMED as I am.

Horrible & scammers
December 2, 2017

POF is a dating site you should stay away from. Nine out of 10 of the profiles of men are bogus.! See for yourself by reading the profile. Their pictures are all fake. There is no customer service phone number to call. Even the phone number on your credit card bill is bogus. Scarey. They have your credit card number. The only way to cancel your membership is to go thru your creditor. And do some homework before you give a guy your phone number or email.
Someone is getting rich on a major scam dating site.

POF a mess
November 27, 2017

My first problem is the fact that POF has different standards of what can be posted by males vs what can be posted by females. For instance, men must have their income on their profiles and women don't.

The site also seems to dictate for users who they may contact and who they may not contact. I've written to women who supposedly blocked men of my age and distance while in other cases women I was talking to for weeks suddenly stopped getting my messages and couldn't send messages to me.

Personally I think users should consider legal action.

Have no customer service - no phone, no email. Account says I am using wrong user name, password (which I'm not) but request for reset gets no response. How can a business based on internet traffic have no way of customers getting tech support. Get what you pay for - don't sign up for the upgrade!

I'm struggling to see how this site gets 3.5 stars
If this was a shop it would be Poundland is awful

Firstly there are a ridiculous number of fake female proflies you can tell easily. They click on meet you or tell you must email them as it's not safe on POF. Why anyone would waste their time with fake profiles is beyond me

The real women are mostly unattractive or/and obese yet call themselves sexy or babe in their username. They seem to think they are alot hotter than they are. I guess behind the laptop they avoid reality and dream they're some hot diva

Also beware the fake headlines "are there any genuine guys left". That's just code for wanting a hot guy but not dare say it

Tons of women from 30-40 looking for a prince it's beyond silly. If you're 38 then you not going to find a hot guy when your past your best are you? Especially when you have a huge list of demands even David Beckham would struggle to match

I wasted a week on POF and won't be rushing back

Lastly what's with being horrible and moody on your profile. Men won't message you if your moaning before they've even spoke to you. Way loads of bitter women all wanting a prince to rescue them from their crap life... aye ok
Enjoy the next 5 years on here looking for him

Had very upsetting experience on pof when et a man who was just a complete liar and also homeless, looking for someone to shack up with and a job. When I refused he spread nasty gossip about me.
Will never use plenty of fish again, its for seedy, broke men who want to prey on nice girls. I was lucky to get away from that hook!

Plenty of Problems
November 19, 2017

I had posted some risque photos on my profile (not of me and not X-Rated). PoF removed them. Fine. Then soon after they removed all of my (perfectly presentable and clothed face shots) photos. I have not been able to upload any photos since (about two weeks ago). I paid for a three-month membership ($51) and essentially have been ripped off since the site is basically useless to me unless women can see my face photos.

I sent several emails to their "Help" department with no reply whatsoever. Now I am posting as many negative reviews as possible and taking this up with the suitable consumer fraud government agencies.

STAY AWAY FROM PLENTY OF FISH!

Loser guys
November 16, 2017

POF is a creep magnet. As soon as I made it clear via text that I wasn't into booty calls, guys would disappear. If I gave out my number, conversations got more graphic. One guy kept asking for (naked) pictures, so I sent him one of my Uncle in drag. If you're a woman looking for a reasonable relationship, go to another site.

Pof was great for a long time. I actually met a couple nice girls on there. Then someone hacked my account and I could not message anyone because pof deleted any messages I would send. Then they deleted my account. I tried to contact them via email 3 times and got no response from anyone. So I started another account and they deleted that one also. Again I tried contacting them and no response once again. I started a 3rd account and same story. Ive heard this has happen to many others as well. I'm finished with this site. It should not be a site unless u can get help from someone if theres an issue... they r not very professional. They don't seem to really care. They totally suck $#*!...

Pic is the worst. The men are low class and broke. They all expect sex right away. It must be because It is free. Way too many bottom feeders and throwbacks.

Okay
November 8, 2017

Met both of my ex-girlsfriends on online dating sites (one on mingle2day, and last one on match) so I know how online dating works, I guess. Also tried pof but I ws a little disppointed. In my opinion not easy at all to meet real people. Site is ok though.

I've been locked out of my account 2 times by Plenty of Fish-1st they let my account be hacked and closed me down with zero notice, now with a 2nd account I don't receive mail! This POF company is not even in the USA (somewhere in Europe) and has no customer service telephone number, the one listed are Pakastani's who laugh at you because they hacked your account-Don't waste your time!

This. Site. Sucks. I recreated my account after three deletions. I received countless spam from fake users, and when I do connect with someone, my account magically disappears like a $#*!ing Houdini act. This site has poor screening and dating algorithms, it charges money for some features that should be basic and offers poor monthly plans for what they would provide. I spent money once on it, and wont make that mistake again. Evens craigslist is better than this, and I have never even used it.

In 2012 I met my husband on POF
We have been married since 2015
I made my profile clear about wanting to meet a Christian man who valued his family more than anything.
Of COURSE your going to have to filter through the buttheads with silly rude sexist messages, but I took a chance on a man 1.5 hours away (at the time was very far to me in my head) but we made it work and we are so very happily married and I couldnt thank POF more for helping me find such an incredicle man!

POF is not a site to meet anyone worth while. IT IS NOT A DATING SITE. Maybe its purpose is but it is mainly for hook-ups. GAY MEN ARE THE WORST!.

I have chatted with a couple of nice guys, but then you get bombarded with weirdos usually with no or little profile information and no photo. This is a clear indication they're going to ask you if you're on KIK. They usually say they're interested in an exclusive relationship Master Sub lover. Having been married for 15 years it has been a real eye opener for me. I wasn't even what sure what sub lover. Then you get desperate men thinking they''re in a relationship with you after one or two chats. Think I've signed up for a membership and either have close it down membership finishes or block weirdos. Doesn't leave many to chat to.
