Signed up years ago, went out with one man from the Finger Lakes, NY. Initials: JLK. Stay away from him!
He is a fraud, likes to torture women emotionally, attaches to you like the Covid.
He has been stalking, harrassing, intercepting phone, computer, slanders me with aquaintances, sends people to follow me. Has basically ruined my life and I don't know him! POF, please take his profile down!

There is a lot of negative advertising about the type of people a free site would attract. The fact is, they are the same people. There is absolutely no difference between the functional use or type of people between Matchmaker, Match, and POF except POF is free. While its true, there is an odd search/result on POF, I do not see the results any different between the sites.

A Bit Fishy
September 1, 2016

I upgraded with PoF because it stated that I had 17 meet me's and that a lot of members found me attractive, which I also found attractive.
I put in my credit card details and became a member, Low and behold I found that the 17 meet me's vanished, and the members that were supposed to be mutually attracted to had never read my profile (it says so in the persons profile)
I logged out as usual, when I logged in later I was back as a free member again? Is this a scam? No replies have been received from my messages to POF about this matter, the money has been taken from my account.
It does all seem to be a big bit FISHY

The worst I've seen
November 1, 2022

I understand that you get what you pay forbut my Lord POF is bad. An endless stream of fake profiles is annoying but tolerable. My problem is that my profile was completely unusable. I had to reset my password every day, always reusing the same password, because it wouldn't let me login, I couldn't send emails, my pics kept disappearing are just a few problems. I emailed POF for 9 days and got no response, They really don't give a crap. I laughingly received a notice to stop soliciting even though I couldn't send an email. It may be free but its still not worth it,

It looks like the dregs of society have assembled on POF. Most are broken women, overweight, single mums, unemployed or lowly paid jobs and with huge psychological issues thinking they are superior to you and with some utopian view of themselves. Narcissisim, abruptness and rudeness is on another level. They seem to demand a tall, mega-rich Brad Pitt lookalike on a dating site. As if a guy like that would need a dating site. In return they offer unflattering silly poutish pictures of themselves covered in tatoos like you're watching the Rocky Horror show with a description (if they've bothered) littered with typos.

You'll find very few well educated, professional women on there.

Met a girl on there.
September 5, 2015

Original post-
Thangs are goin alright like her alot she comes over every night. Good site.

*EDIT*

One year and 2 months later...

It didn't work out with me and the girl. But that's because I went to jail and she just wanted to be negative while i was in there and couldn't deal with it. The site is still really good, I've met a few other people on there. Never any real Creepers or Weirdos. But I am a Male so I am not sure how great it is for females. Haha.

Just like many reviews on here state, it's not a real dating site. Most men put that they're looking for a relationship but in reality they are looking for hookups. Some men have even lied about having children. What kind of person lies about their own children?! Disgusting. Even found out one user not only has a pof account claiming to be looking for a relationship but he also has a bunch of profiles on sex sites. Gross! Ladies beware of Misterme812. Keep a look out for these as well, MistermeOR, Misterme81, and Misterme8123. All the same person with multiple accounts.

Update
September 29, 2019
Updated review

Update from last reveiw, I really find pof.com to be a rip off. I have improved my profile repeatedly to no avail. And the woman that reach out to me are very average looking, a few scary bad AND the one that look good are FWB types. Besides the ones that are even remotely attractive are in japip, usa, so far that to imagine a chance is as remote as jumping to moon. Truly a total joke from my two month experience. Don't bother maybe other websites are better -match? I bet not. I already upped for eharmony and now this pretty dissapointing.

Really really really average

Previous review

Where to begin? This is my second attempt at meeting/dating for a long term relationship. I have efforted to make my profile true and attractive to the women therein. I wrote and rewrote it to make it readable and expressing my hops for a true relationship.
WELL, truly I know from discussions with women there on dates that the men are a challenge on POF as well. Hence it must be the algorithm and the seeker not delivering the goods they want.
MY experinence has been worse than average, the women unsightly who do not present themselves well at all, and then do not fill out the form to any, any effect. The dates 5 have been so so with the women showing themselves as not really interested in a LT relationship or seem to be incapable of being open honest and available.
I have another review on E/Harmony and it is by and large the same.

Beware of the men on PODF who advertise as being single and looking for a long term relationship when they are not. I recently dates a man for a few weeks Huskyboy15 on his profile who I today found out has a long term girlfriend and is also on other dating sites proclaiming to be single. Compulsive liar who spent every waking hour of the day on WhatsApp... a clear warning sign to steer clear. Even with all the friends I have I could not be on WhatsApp from 6am to 10pm onwards 7 days a week. This happens quite a lot. I'm sure women do it to. If you are serious about finding a relationship I would suggest a reputable site which you would need to pay a subscription for. These 'free' dating sites are the worst for serial liars and guys who just want a quick rumble and dirty pics.

Wacko Central
May 13, 2017

Some really freaky people on here. Talking to one person who seemed nice. Then sent her another photo and she said it wasn't recent and told me not to insult her intelligence and not to lie to her

Then she called and asked about me and how long had been single and told her. After few minutes she told me I needed to get a life apparently I'd been talking about my ex for 20 minutes like it was War And Peace. She then told me to get a life and go and have fun. Get a life she said and stop going on about my ex lol Ranting on how I need to go **** girls. I thought she might be drunk or mentally unstable. Like one minute okay then next going crazy at me on the ever 1st call. Then she said sorry she'd like to get to know me. Woah no thanks. Scary just talking to her nevermind meeting

Catfishing aside. I find that 80%+ of the woman that contact me are not real. If I get a "meet me" and like them back and weeks go by as an unread message or better yet not even viewed me to see if Im brad pitt I say fake. POF is bull$#*!. I paid for 3 months and will not renew. There isnt even an option to only view upgraded users. The site is full of tgirls and preops too calling themselves female utter bull$#*!. Screw you POF

Awful Experience
December 11, 2020

Being a Single woman and trying to navigate through COVID-19 and loneliness, I thought let me try it. Why not? I'll tell you why not, a lot of creeps. One man asked if I was Trans! Not only is that rude to me, it is rude to The Transgender Community. I did not enjoy one conversation or man that I interacted with. I'm not giving up, I'm told E. Harmony is a good bet.

Waste of time
November 7, 2018

This is just full of women that are not rights. They're either past their best or they never had a best to pass
They all have attitude problems as well. Tons of women in their 30s who must have slept with 100s of men and now want Mr right now their looks are going.
Even the fatties and plain women on here of which there are many have chips on their shoulders. They all have unrealistic expectations of the man they want. Total waste of time even signing up.

They are all revolting and undateable

I can pick up women in public places without any trouble but you never get any replies from women on POF so they must be dormant accounts or shills. Even elderly MILFS dont reply and they have saggy wrinkly funbags so should be up for it but theyre not.
Its a waste of time and trashed my account as theres no way to delete it

Its packed with transexuals women visible tattoos waiting for a cash cow. Have a feeling Albuquerque is not a place for attractive guys just looking for nsa sex and not looking to raise another persons baggage.

Adult friend finder has less than ten people for a place with almost a million people looks like im going to be hard time in a free society. Goodnluck make sure to put on pr8file seeking serios relationship and make over 30 to 40 k a few guys i knew that where models tried it and it works like a charm i promise

The person who runs this site is a complete man hater. They allow women to say ANYTHING on this site, pose half nude, etc... but if you're a guy, they monitor your e-mails and will delete your account on a whim. I'm a pro fighter, and my pictures are mostly of me in the cage fighting. My pics were deleted because MY SHIRT WAS OFF... but, there are women on there in bathing suits, thongs, I even saw one showing their pubes, and when I reported them, POF did NOTHING. Terrible, terrible site.

Beyond bad
June 15, 2018

I don't think I've seen so many average looking woman on one website. Average is doing them a favour tbh as most arent even that good yet they seem to think they're a catch and havea list of what you boxes you must tick if you want them to reply LOL.

They all babble on how great they are but if they're that great why are they single and why are they mostly in their 30s with longest relationship of only a year?
Majority are ignorant picky rude and are suffering from delusions of grandeur

Ps how did it get rated 3 stars on here?

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.
