Plenty of Fish

I've absolutely no idea what the men are like but the vast majority of women are out of shape and look at least twenty years older than what they claim to be (and that's being polite).

Underwhelming and depressing were my immediate thoughts of this unfriendly dump.

There are also an incredible amount of fake profiles which seem to overwhelm the people moderating the site.

This site is free but you get what you pay for in life

Pof is just full of single moms who all can't wait to tell you their children will always come first, but they expect you to make them your top priority and be happy to settle down with another man's children. If the children are that important why aren't they still with the father?

There are Lots of people who can't be bothered to say anything, apart from how they can't see likes or how time wasters need to keep away.

I don't want to give it even one star. It's full of dreadfully classless people

App deleted

This site is horrible. Lots of fake accounts and scammers. I have no problem calling it out or reporting. I'm the one who gets penalized because they close my account and don't even say why. So some scammer gets mad at you and reports some stupid lies and they believe it? They need to get their crap in order and do a better job at stopping the fakes. I don't recommend this awful site

Was a nice site when founded in 2003. What most people do not realize is that the site has since be sold to a dating giant -along with its good reputation- who changed the whole setting - and the reputation as well. Looks like present owner knows how to earn money and probably went into data sharing (selling?) business; anyway, there seem to be now a lot of people who have quite other ideas in their heads but dating...

If you sign up be prepared to see 'CAN'T SEE LIKES MESSAGE ME' virtually all the time as an introductory headline

It never enters their tiny mind that everyone else says the same. It never enters their head to pay for the site. Surely if you're that determined to find the man of your dreams you'd be happy to pay a few quid.
Can't see likes is just really lazy and unoriginal.
My take is that It's full of immature time wasters who thrive on gossip drama and narcissism

Avoid

I have noticed that 90% of the men on POF is 50 years old, come on men put your current age you will stand a better chance of finding someone, be honest some looks like great grandfathers but they are 50. This site is very disappointing looking at all those exposed tattoos and shirtless men. Ladies you can do better I came on this site to see what was available but to my surprise there was nothing. This site is like a box of chocolate, you never know what's inside. Good luck ladies.

This site is the bigger Scam ever.
When you sign up, you get 50+ views and Likes within 24 hours…then, as soon as you pay, everything stops.
I see profiles with images from 2008 on here….utter BS!

The point of this site is to keep you clicking and on here to make them money.

SCAM!

Do not use this site! Too many issues to list, the worst of which is their practice of auto renewing.

STAY AWAY!

The females on POF all seem to believe they are princesses. They will only reply if you have the 6/6/6. Six figures in the bank, six feet tall, and a six-pack.
The hilarious thing is that they are the exact opposite of what they demand.They're short, distinctly average,and out of shape.

They'll be on this site forever because their standards are totally unrealistic.

I am so disappointed in pof when did they become so greedy,they want us guys to pay for everything and we can only send one free message every 23 hours, you cant even see who likes your profile unless you pay meanwhile the ladies get to join for free,and the prices are ridicolous,bring back pof the way it was before gees,most women on there just looking for a one nighter anyways they lie on their profile so stop charging us guys these insane prices its just not gonna work

I've never seen so many single mums, fakes and unattractive women in my life.

It's full of 2s who think they are 10s

I've never seen so many overweight women with tattoos and no personality who act like they're a great catch.

If you saw them in a bar you wouldn't go near, yet online they act deluded and childish. Online dating is a waste of time

If you do find a decent woman she'll be sent that many messages by simp thirsty men that she'll be totally overwhelmed you won't get a reply.

There must be at least an 90% ratio of men to women, which means you'll be competing with thirsty, desperate men all the time, and that renders it pointless. Secondly, there's very few decent women on there anyway. Even the very best online would only be classified as middling offline, and the rest are truly mediocre. The one thing they're all extremely good at is being demanding, picky, and immature.

Do they not realise that demanding someone over six foot tall is utterly insane? Especially when they're only five foot three

Ps what's with all the tattoos, large oversized glasses and nose rings?

Pof has changed for the worse now...it sucks...When scanning through profiles it now goes to a white blank page after approximately 8 swipes...Dumb strategy...You will lose more people...This is greed and aggravating aggression to get money in a scammers way...Worst app now...unless you feel like being upset don't even bother...This is the definition of pointless

I've never seen anything like it. I'd rather be single.

The women are not attractive; they are all out of shape, mostly single parents. They all seem to be aged between 35 and 45, yet they look a lot older.

If that's not bad enough, they don't even seem like pleasant people; they all come across as having chips on their shoulders; they're borderline illiterate; and they seem to have no filters.

Total waste of time, and lures from notifications someone likes you start coming in and requests to meet and likes. Once you pay to respond theres crickets as its obviously Bots to trick you into membership.
This is why there is a mandatory 3 month fee for 66.00 as you will find out its worthless. No refunds.

I nearly fell off my chair with laughter at the entitlement in the profiles on that site
Everywhere I looked large women with even larger chips on their shoulders demanding you have to be minimum six feet tall to get a reply and if they don't reply you're just not their type hahahahahaha. I couldn't breathe with laughter

The women are so bad they should be grateful to get any interest, the fact they think they can be picky tells me all I need to know about this site. Not for me. Good for a laugh though

You have to pay or you can't send messages or see likes. It's misleading when the little counter gives the number of people interested in you but just because someone looked at your profile doesn't mean they are interested. You can't control the distance. Most of my choices are from over 100 miles away. I frequently get "likes" from other states but I've never heard from any of those people when I respond. Most likely fake profiles just to make it seem this app had a lot of potential matches.

Wanted M4M matches 33% of them were Female, sent snips of the profiles or':Recommended Matches, no action take and when I canceled the photos and were still there, meaning no room for new and correct matches.I also cancelled to avoid a renewal and the remaining month of access was also cancelled. I feel taken and wonder if there wasn't a homophobic aspect to this. My headline was specific and stated that while I respect everyone's' right to have their life as they need, I only wanted CIS (M4M) matches. Very very disappointing experience and customer service experience.

I just want to find someone to kill time in lockdown, however always meet scammers. That is a good way to make scammers more active.

I was extremely disappointed in Plenty of Fish. I paid for this app yes I was so dumb. The scammers came through by the droves. First they kept asking me to get back on Whatsapp, Google Chat and my email. I quickly learned that is very common for scammers. When I felt comfortable talking we exchanged numbers texting and talking. Now I found that 4 out 5 were false identity and blocked them. The one who put it over the edge was I had texted, talked and eventually met a couple of times. After the last time we saw each other I just knew something was really off so I did my own research. This man not only went by a fake name on POF, he said he has been divorced for 5 years of which was a complete lie. Ladies he pretends to be a real cowboy and yes he is good looking. Don't fall for it! P.S. He lives in the San Bernardino mountains.
Well now I'm off POF and all dating sites. Being a widow just makes me appreciate my late husband more. Ladies be careful!

Fake profiles, mail messaging problems, support problems, delays and glitches in page changes, support does not respond, don't pay them money,,, you will be sorry... they should be class action sued for breach of contract...

I've never seen so many one parent families in my entire life. All telling you how their children will always come first + how you must impress /make them laugh. I didn't see anything of what they would bring to a relationship

Also ridiculous number of narcissists with nose piercings on there.

Add in the fact there's probably 500 men for every woman and you'll see what a total waste of time it is. The people on there are truly horrendous yet seem to think they are deserving of a prince charming.

I stupidly paid for a month. I'm glad it wasn't longer.

My review
I can honestly say I've never encountered so many people with issues in my life. It's just riddled with ignorant egotistical people full of their own self importance.

There are way too many messed up people on POF; it's terrible. I sent nothing but polite messages and got some of the nastiest replies I've ever seen.

Honestly, please don't waste your time. You'll be dealing with people who lack kindness and social skills. If they act this poorly online, can you imagine what they are like in real life?

I had a lucky escape.

There is a probably a nice woman on there somewhere but I didn't find her in 30 days. GL finding her
