I am already in a dispute with this company. I canceled my membership months ago and have not used this site since. Yet they charged my credit card for another year and refuse to refund it stating that they have a "no refund" policy. Why should I be forced to pay for something that I am not using? This is BAD BUSINESS. I am filing a dispute with my credit card company.

They suck!
October 19, 2016

I subscribed to POF. I lost my phone like 2 weeks later. I tried to call and email them. No response I didn't want a refund be just to which to a new profile. What a joke! All they care about is money. I don't even have the profile anymore and they still took money out my account! They need to be investigated and shut down! I'm going to make sure I call my bank and red flag them for scamming

Waste of time
May 25, 2017

All the men on here want just sex. They claim they want a relationship but none of them do. This is just a waste of time! Most of the guys don't even know how to talk about anything other than sex and if you mention wanting to know more about the guys personality instead the convo usually stops.

I don't know what the hell happened, and how they get my credit card number. I get this msg from a POF user (POF_billing) which says I am being charged with $43.67. I am *******% sure that I never upgraded POF service... This is wired. I am still wondering how they get my credit card number. I email POF for refund now Let's see what happens next

POF Dating Scam
June 21, 2016

Beware profile *******@gmail as well as pof address, Haggard Antonio Gardner are names used on the pof site. This profile user stated he was US Military and wanted items sent to him. Pulled his profile as soon as he could after contact. When asked about his military email and proof of who he was, he began saying he wasn't forcing anyone and stopped contact. Customer service at this site has been reviewed as useless, so I chose this way to inform those Interested in the type of activity on the site. The FBI and FTC can also be contacted if you are aware of scams.

I am a female & was bombarded with disgusting & disrespectful men who treated me like I was a desperate whore who had to sleep with them because I was on the site. Mind you, the men were rude & yet my account was blocked I guess. It's gone & the last thing I did was report a man for using bogus pics so he could view women who require men yo have pics. I have emailed them to avail so now I am joining in on trying to bring them down. If you want to be disrespected then go for it but don't rebuttal anyone's rude messages or you'll be deleted for it no matter what the original response was. Markus wants the fake profiles not real women because the fake profules are the ones that make these men think they're going to get luck when in reality they don't have a chance with most women.

Not worth the effort
December 16, 2016

POF may be better for a younger audience, if you are in your 40`s it is useless or at least in Calgary area it sure is.
Shallow people constantly waiting for that better profile that may be around the corner.

A prime example of the worst of the worst.

How to do POF...
August 26, 2015

I'm not sure why are you all so disappointed and toxic. You get what you seek. When making your profile, you need to define your core values. You need to be able to express yourself. Also, when it comes to choosing a life partner you can't be clueless about what you really want and need. You shouldn't post explicit photos of yourself and expect to be treated respectfully (unfortunately, that's how life is), or try to get match with the people who are not compatible to you or your lifestyle.

The best thing you can do is to be yourself. Only then you have a chance to find a true mach... and love...

Just my two cents... :)

The site really is probably a scam site but some of the ladies are local to me in Rugby Uk & genuine but the site is crap. They make it so difficult to search and send details of women well outside of my search criteria. However they left the back door wide open, & 'several bright fit ladies have got my contact details via this review site. Ian. Tantric at gmail. Com So if you are 25 -35 & fit & fun. You too could meet me via the back door."Multiple Orgasms G'teed!"... in tecnicolour if you are lucky
0 7 tripple 9,76 & four 4's if you wanna text or chat.

I find it disgusting when women claim this site to be disgusting. Maybe you lot aren't finding anyone worthwhile because you aren't even responding to the ones that are in fact worthwhile. I was on it for a serious relationship but hardly got any responses. The entire experience consisted of messaging women who seemed to have profiles with some substance who claimed to be looking for a 'serious relationship', only to never hear back from them. The guys on here may be sleezy but the women on here are like women on any other site really: two-faced, hypocritical, shallow, and ignorant. So why did I give the site a 5-star rating? Well it's not the site's fault that humans are a f****d up species.

Corporate fat fuks of the 21st century. Money grubbing 2 year old reetards behind the wheel. Used to be able to message anyone you want and were able to see if your messages were read. Now it's only limited to once per day to message somebody. Who the fuk was drunk to come up with this hazardous idea?

Hideous
April 6, 2024

If you're a three out of ten you should go for the same in a partner or maybe a bit higher at the most

The problem is on the pof the women who are 3s and 4s all expect to get a man who is a nine or a ten. It's absolutely insanity. They don't want a good man like they claim. They demand the perfect man of the dreams

Most don't seem to have a personality either and are either unemployed or are dog walkers yet want a man with a great job and who makes them laugh.

What a fukn joke
December 31, 2015

1/100 messages sent say hi to women were completely ignored, the one girl started talking but then stopped when I got serious about asking what her main goal/hobby is, fuk that pissed me off badly I almost broke my phone then pissed my dad off about how women don't have a clue what a real man is ect. He did agree btw a real man want love not a quick std, I hate being ignored especially 99 times with sluts I mean girls that don't reply to a happy new year message or how are you, I did have two women that approached me first but they were larger then life so I messaged them back saying thank you for noticing me but I don't think we are matched good luck x, the way I was raised was to be polite and friendly, what a bunch of no life sluts on there, I'm glad no one responded as Im way to big of a catch for them to handle. Pof kiss my $#*!

They warn you on their sites to be aware of scammers. But they are the ones doing most of the scamming. My friend used to work for them that I talked to in another country. She told me that they have large offices set up with 100 computers or more and higher poor people for starving and have no money and need money to feed their children to send up the computers and scam people on POF they tricked them and get money from them they claim they're a good dating site but they're not

Horrible App
January 11, 2022

I tried this app and canceled my subscription and deleted my profile within a week. I marked that I was a guy seeking another guy, yet it would constantly send me female matches. Some of the male matches were fake profiles. The app is super glitchy, not user friendly and very expensive. Not at all worth the money or time.

This site sucks
September 21, 2016

I put my profile on pof with no picture. I got hits even went out on one date and met on terrific guy. The one that i went out on a date with wanted sex afterwards, told him to hit the road. The second guy was real nice, we hit it off and are friends. I started to talking to a guy close to me. We emailed, facebook, and viber for 4 days then out of the blue he wantef a 100 dollar itunes card. I told him no and to go somewhere i wont mention on site. This dating site has rude men and when they see me its either sex or they see me as a bank. Not worth your time. To many ugly men on this site.

Freaky bad
November 18, 2019

As others have said it's pointless

Just a website full of out of shape or old or average looking females all determined to get the prince charming. The females on this site have lost touch with reality and actually think they're princesses

The men have to shoulder some of the blame as well. If they weren't so thirsty messaging anything female with a pulse they wouldn't be so out touch.

I haven't seen anywhere in my life with such uninspiring women. How some of the women have the nerve to be picky is to me hilarious

You're 41 divorced, overweight and unattractive but you think you can have a list of traits your Prince charming must have. Cuckoo!

Hilarious website. A shrink would have a field day

Plenty of fish was created and owned by Marcus friend and it used to be a great dating site 100% free to its members with no limitations. The match.com website purchase plenty of fish for Marcus friend for 1 million in 2017 since then plenty of fish is gone to $#*!. Marcus friend was smart enough to be happy with making $10,000 a day from Google ads. Apparently the $#*!s at match weren't happy with that so now their site is no longer free. Not only does plenty of fish now make $10,000 a day from Google ads but it only allows people to send one or two messages and then prompts or rather harasses to pay to upgrade do not waste your time with this app.
