Plenty of Fish

After been though every dating website possible and 2 serious yet badly failed relationships I though love and decent men I think anything was real any more... i went on POF just out of interest and found my very own price charming we didn't start talking straight away but when we did straight away my past didn't seem to matter any more I'm now very happily engaged and moved in with him and have a bright further ahead of us it's funny I'm sure I'v found my twin my other said that disappeared with all the hurt I couldn't love him anymore. My advie don't look don't even care if your too tired of trying to get mr or ms right and there gonna fall straight into your lap... I was there
Now I'm planning a wedding
Thank you plenty of fish you are my hero

I went out on a date with my future fiancé after meeting him on here. I had talked to a few other men on here, but had not gone on a date with any yet. It was nice to be able to weed through what I was looking for in a person before talking to them/him. I met my current fiancé in October 2010. We hit it off immediately. We moved in together a year later, had a baby in 2014, and got engaged May 2015! I wanted to try pentyoffish first because it was free and was skeptical about paid dating sites. I'm glad I did!

The downside: At first, I was bombarded with e-mails from men. Most probably wanted a hook up and others were not at all what I was looking for. A lot of them wanted to meet up immediately when I wanted to take my time getting to know and trusting a person before meeting them off of the internet.

Note** I used the free membership and didn't pay a penny.

If you read their website literature they tout that they are one of the top sites, if they consider spamming people with profiles of people that don't match your desires, then they are correct. They may even be the tops. They kept sending me the same people over and over. I contacted one of them that the site said was interested in meeting me. She said that she never indicated she wanted to meet me. Don't waste your time or money, I took my profile down in less than a week and asked if they would refund the unused part of what I paid for. They said no we don't do refunds, well of course you don't because you are scamming people, then why have an area to request a refund if you don't give them? Again save your time and money. Go else where and look for a match.

Just signed up today and I get 1 first contact message free in 24 hours. They have to have some mental issues if they think thats ok. NOBODY should have to pay for a dating website with how many fake accounts are active on these platforms and its hard for me to believe that POF, whos been around for about 15 years now, hasnt been making money and HAS to do these drastic things to their free users to push them into premium memberships, which are absolutely worthless because most of the accounts you will interact with are fake. I havent checked recently but their restrictions for men and women were different a few years ago when I made an account of each. Women had the ability to send more messages and see if their messages were read but men didnt. I imagine theyre still imposing these sorts of sexist rules as well as men are more likely to pay for dating sites.

As a non-paying member, this is the site that gives the least free features out of all the dating sites. They'll show you photos of members, and you can indicate if you're interested. But, lol, they will send you a notification saying, "(This member) wants to meet you. All excited, you click on the link, and there's a blurred out photo. You can somewhat make out where they are from, so you do a search. But you will never find a profile with their name. They will never show up in your matches. So, are they real? Or you're playing a hard hardball, POF? "Oh, you both want to meet? No, we will only allow you to connect if you give us $$. POF." Have ya ever gone fishin? Ya sit there ALL day, catch nothin', and think "Well, that was a waste of time?". Get ready for a lot of thinkin'.

Stay away from this site.I signed up for a year and a few hours later I called and said it wasn't for me (a Senior) and requested a Refund after only a few hours. I was told No, 3 times. Than about 3 days later I received a credit and they asked me to review the? So I give them a Great review. A few days after that they Blocked me from having any level account? These people are Evil.

Basically this is full of ordinary women who would struggle to get a date in the real world so they join this pof lark and boom they start to think they are a diva with all the attention they get.
I think it must like a kid at Christmas for them and they revel in the attention they've never had and start believing they're an actual catch

You only have to see how many of them in their late 30s have put their longest relationship is under a year that's a huge red flag. They either got issues or nobody offline wants them. A lot of them brag how independent they are. That too says A lot why they are single. There's a reason no man wants them

Definitely much better females in the real world. Ain't worth the aggravation of signing up to chase after women you wouldn't give a 2nd glance at if you saw in a bar

Everytime I browse on POF its the same tired old women with the same photos, month after month, year after year. So you know their photos are out of date. They love to bleat "where are all the decent genuine men?" but that's just bs
They will have received plenty of mail from genuine decent men but they want someone who is ridiculously good looking but they darent put that. They want someone who is stunning on the eye regardless of the fact they are extremely ordinary or even worse

Online dating sends women deluded. A women who is 2/10 becomes adamant they won't settle for anything less than a 9/10 male. And they wonder why they can't get a man. It's totally irrational

And don't get me started on some of the bios they are just rants normally a 20 point checklist that you must adhere to. Must love dogs, must love roadtrips despite the fact they don't drive, must be over 6 foot. Give me a break

I am 70, male, have a degree, widowed, physically fit and financially secure (I put this in my profile). I have been on and off POF about 5ish years. I work and my work takes me out of town thus I don't have the phone app nor do I want it so I use my home laptop... anyhoo, I have met/dated appx. 10+ women on POF. I have never had a bad experience, never met a woman that did not look similar to her photos (maybe a few pounds more or a little older) however fortunately no horror stories to tell. It normally is chatting on the site followed by exchanging text numbers, then texting, then talking then meeting. By then you should have a gut feeling if all is on the up and up.

This should be called plenty of attitude not plenty of fish as every female profile I looked at they had entitlement attitude and ridiculous demands

Let's be honest there's some reason they're single, they have issues or their job ruled their life and now they're panicking they'll be single forever or they have commitment problems or they are too independent or they lack the social skills to talk in the real world, or they're overweight or just not attractive
If they were a decent catch a decent woman they wouldn't be on pof in the first place they'd had been snapped up years ago. I laugh when I see some 38 year old not realizing she doesn't have the same market value as when she was 23 but still acts like she's a great catch. She peaked in 2003 but hasnt realized it she's still demanding like she's a hottie

This is basically full of women who are misfits, unwanted and damaged. The idea they can be so demanding when it comes to their ideal man is truly hilarious

I had luck meeting a man from Pof in 2009. Relationship last for yrs until it recently ended. I thought try again in 2018 finding luck on Pof. Now Pof is becoming plenty of trash. Some of the member quality is slipping. Too many men uses lazy meet me, instead of writing a message. Meet me is useless, unless you pay to view meet me. Men are after sex or want women to give them money. Some of the good men left.

Half the men have a nothing on profile or writing "just ask." Half the men lie about their age. Some men are actually in late 40s-50s lying about their age from photos. There are same members with same photos. Even members uses cut and copy messages of tired lines.

The same day I created an account, Pof deletes the account hours later. You cannot sign in, because PoF block email -- no one couldn't re-create another account. Good part is that I'm glad that I didn't paid to upgrade my account.

Seemed like a fake site. The site would try to convince me that certain women were a match. When I'd message them, I wouldn't even get responses back. And if I did, it was it they were high on something. I couldn't even understand the response. And despite telling the site I wasn't interested in some women, they would keep putting them back into my yes/no folder. I wrote POF about this and got nothing but a staged answer back. Not will administered at all.

It is a free site, you can contact users and chat with them, there are no restriction on giving e-mail or phone number, you can block users that you find abusive or otherwise unacceptable, there are plenty of users, much more than on Oasis, so I have found someone locally and we hit it straight away. I met several other man before for a first date or a couple of dates, but it wasn't what I was looking for (or him), so of course it is not a magic site, all depends on you. But beware of sites that take moneys and then you are bombarded by automated messages from fake profiles! Esp local singles.com, mature singles.com, over40 singles.com, widowed singles.com, etc...
