Plenty of Fish

LIke all sites structured to compel expending money, always on part of men. Huge percentage of scam/fake profiles (quickly obvious once you spot the pattern of pictures that don't match age accompanied by generic profile text - suspect large number of prostitutes)... remainder are mostly highly unsuitable persons (appearance, age, circumstances). And beware - unlike other sites, this one has real customer service, forces you to pay for three months up front for the "premium" account (which is all but required in order to even try to use the site), and there are no refunds. Jordan Peterson and others have advised single men not to use these sites - now I know why.

Do not waste your money. Literally 70% of the female profiles are fake. They respond to you giving you their Snapchat, or other platform, and ask you for money. Absolutely garbage. I'd give negative stars if I could. Ripoff.

Full of women who are 3 out of 10 on the looks scale yet all wanting a guy who is a perfect 10
The women I saw were all demanding rude aggressive and very very picky
This despite the fact the were either overweight unattractive or past their best.

The funniest one I saw was a 44 year old 5 foot tall female saying she only dates attractive men over 6 foot and if you didn't fit the bill she'd block you

They should be grateful if anyone messages them nevermind making demands. You don't need to be a genius to work out this won't end up well. They'll be on there for years with their unrealistic nonsense. Not one profile showed any kindness or happiness radiating from it all it was what they wanted not what they could offer

I was on and off POF for several years. I met and dated several fun people. No problem, ever. No shirtless pics, no profanity, ever. Good POF user as fat as I'm concerned.

Then I briefly corresponded with a woman who apparently had a chip on her shoulders. After several friendly messages, there came a lot of hostility about my not responding in a timely manner. Said she was going to clock me. My fatal retort? I quoted Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide and wrote back, "So long and thanks for all the fish." That was it.

My account was deleted, though I was never officially informed of the fact. Forget about the other correspondences. There is no possible appeal, no recourse. Period. The end.

So, my advice to prospective users is to ask themselves if they want to enable this abusive wielding of power. My answer: No, never again.

Do not use POF. They will delete your profile after you've paid for no reason. I contacted a lawyer to pursue a class action suit. This has happened to me over 2 years and many more people. If this is the case, please contact me. *******@gmail.com

Pof was a very good site until recently they are now overrun with profiles
Promoting porn web sites with very raunchy pictures of old ladies and old men. Before just usual fake scammers from Ghana Albania etc. Pictures of 25-30 yr olds claiming to be 55-65 yr olds. It seems they want there users to report these profiles. Most of porn site profiles are disgusting looking old women, in very compromising positions. Not a turn on at all! Since Match.COM bought it has had a steady decline. Actually had my profile deleted "by accident" for reporting scammers.
"I'm not in Mass or CT right now I'm overseas send me your email or text me BS.
Too much BS on the site now. If your 50 you get profiles of 30 yr olds online like that's gonna happen.

The women are rude and when you're rude back you get banned. I'm sick of reading saying "make me laugh" "Where's my Prince Charming?" or other stupid demands/requests

Don't worry there are that many fake profiles on here that soon pof will be rendered useless and no men will go near it
Then all the ludicrously picky bitter women with the tattoos and attitude problem will find themselves single in the real world not online fantasy and no man will go near them

Also it'll happen to all the deluded diva types who only reply if you are a 10 on the looks scale. When they're offline and no man wants them they'll realise how stupidly picky they were but will be too late by then.

Same applies to the women who have been on pof for years and years constantly turning down men because they're not perfect

Still they'll have their dogs, the ones you must love or they won't reply lol

T

Many fake profiles using profile pictures they've stolen off real peoples LinkedIn, facebook, Twitter accounts but also the more obvious ones use American football players, actors, models etc... when you report them to pof nothing appears to happen as the accounts remain active.
Keep yourself safer by searching profile pictures on an image search engine like Google Image or tineye, it's better than relying on pof to weed out the fakes!

At first thought great. Then dug below the surface after being ignored and quickly came to the conclusion that full of 30-40 year old women who either because they've let work rule their life or because they're useless in relationships find themselves on here. Not just looking for a date it has to be a date with Mr Perfect or Mr White Knight

They are ridiculously picky and ignore messages. They'll turn down someone really good because they're not amazing and perfect. Yet what have they got to offer? Most never been in longer relationship than a year what does that say about how great they are? Is it really that hard to say thanks for contacting me but no thanks. Are women that ignorant nowadays? Seems it

Don't feed their ego's.

Men on this site want you to be perfect (and i'm not too shabby) but they look like trolls, don't have ten words to say about themselves other than, Hello, how's your day. If you ask for any more, you won't get it. Instead, you get a phone number. But you know nothing about them except they're just average Joe's, no goals or ambitions, seemingly picking a fight, calling you names or misjudging you b/c you're attractive. It is the worst experience I have ever had. I'm now just taking notes, not looking for a guy who is honest, respectful or even nice. It's a very demeaning dating site. Guys are so overly-confident, they don't think they need to sell themselves or even talk about themselves. They're better than another senior-people dating site, because on that one, they all wanted to send inappropriate photos. (These do and will do so once you phone them). What's a decent, attractive, all-American girl to do--go to sluts school?

Spoke to a woman who messaged me using text talk and who said my sport I liked was boring, absolutely no chat or concept of creating a decent first impression. After that I deleted the app

The standard is low, really really low. I think it's the bottom 10% of women all searching for only the top 10% of men. The women seem to lack intelligence, beauty and kindness. They do however posses plenty of baggage, weight and attitude

Oh and there's about 500 men chasing after every woman and half the profiles are blatantly fake. Good luck you'll need it fellas

I would sooner be single than go online dating again

I knew this was going to be a bad site when the first profile it showed me was an average looking 44 year old female who's headline said "Please don't be offended if i don't reply" and then went on how you had you to be over 5'8 tall, she was only 5,5. Also must have wit, brilliant sense of humor, positive outlook on life, be well groomed take pride in your appearance and be confident not arrogant... Not wanting much. Went on about how intelligent she is.

Without wishing to be rude she was no stunner & no way could be picky so i immediately thought it this woman is getting overrun with messages then how many are the attractive ones getting? What is it, like 1000 men chasing after 1 woman ratio?

Deleted profile & logged off

I have about 32 complaints about POF. The most recent is below and carry's over to 7 other problems regarding ease of use. They recently gave their site ANOTHER face lift to confuse users. I now wonder if I have been blocking free users from making first contact due to the use of double negatives in their questions. Note in the screen shot there are also two places to answer regarding whether you only want to allow upgraded users to be able to make first contact. Pure confusion!

This is only one of sooo many dumb things with this site. I'm still very leery that at least half of the members are fake or haven't logged in for years!

I will never pay for a site if it doesn't work or works poorly as a free member!

I did nothing to break their terms.and conditions, I put on my profile, that I am anti vax.and anti mask. Explained why. I then got attacked by Liberal's.and called derogatory names. I reported them and I got kicked. Just another her social media controlled Nazi site. Also, there are very few attractive women, they are all fake profiles, prostitutes, fat, etc. Keep away from this trash site.

I didn't realize there were so many single mums in the world and every one of them seemed to be on POF

They love saying they're 'ready to find the one and settle down now' but their children will always come first. I said no single mums or smokers in preference, yet both were able to contact me.

The vast majority are also old, unattractive and overweight as well, not to mention barely literate. They love to say they're independent,strong and don't need a man. They really know how to sell themselves.

Despite that, they have the audacity to be extremely picky.

Oh and at least half of them can't be bothered to come up with a decent headline and just tell you they 'can't see likes'. That sums up the standard you're dealing with.
