I found the love of my life right here on POF. He had just recently started on POF himself when I got on. We both had been single for years. I pretty much just gave up there for a while and so did he. We both had bad relationships in the past in just kinda figured that everyone we would ever meet would just be out to hurt us. But there comes a time when you need to try again no matter what you might get. I was talking to a few other guys on here but he was the only one I felt comfortable enough to give my number to. A couple months later, I realized that my brother in law new him. And that's a big part in why I gave him a chance. It was pretty much love at first sight. We have been together for over a year now and unbelievably giddy the majority of the time. I love him so much that it makes me wonder if I actually loved anyone in my past relationships. I have never cared for anyone so much. And he says he feels the same. I can tell that that is true because I can feel it. I can feel the love that he has for me just radiating out of him. It almost makes me cry because im 36 and he's 42 and I wish that we could have met sooner but better late than never. Also, if you are in or have been a bad relationship it only makes you appreciate the right one more. Im not saying that everyone on here is going to find the right person on here but, its very possible. I believe I did. POF introduced us, the fact the he knew someone I knew brought us together, and God made it all possible. Good luck to you all.

My experience on Pof has been just as bad as a lot of the men in there most wemen are on there to get money, and you get banded for no good reason you try to be respectful and nice to people and follow all the rules but u get banded like I did for no reason. Marcus your nothing but a complete $#*! hole and I would not care to say that to your face, you don't band people for no apparent reason, and say you got a really good site, and trust me I would not care one bit to tell you my users name that was on there you friggen twit, Guys don't spend on money on this site because ur just wasting your time and money

Messed up women
September 15, 2019

I sent a message to 1 women, she replied I am not interested you fat b*stard. Not only I am not fat I am 76kg! But how can you speak to another person like that? You wouldnt say that to someone in real life
The next profile said no mingers, which is slang for ugly. This was from a women in late 30s who was very average at best. How can she expect any decent men when that is her headline?
It probably gets even worse but I had had enough and deleted my account

Thanks to this FREE APP I found the love of my life was only on it on and off for about 2 weeks. From the moment we met at our blind date (my house) I knew he was the one we both smiled at eachother like if we've known eachother for a while I love this person from the bottom of my heart and I'm glad I finally found him he's the sweetest cutest most lovable boyfriend I've ever had

Worked out great
March 12, 2015

I can say when I first started this site I meant a couple guys through here, half of them only wanting a hookup. First date I went on, the guy looked handsome in the pictures only to find out after one date, he only wanted me to be his. Ugh. And he did not look like his pics. The second date I went on, the guy was 12 years older than me, very handsome and had two girls who were closer to my age. After the couple dates and waiting it out (if you know what I mean) it did not work out because his daughters did not like my age. Who knows what his real intentions were. Finally, the last guy I went on a date was very charming, an incredible smile that caught my attention from the POF site. Soon after, we were going on multiple dates including Clipper games, dinners, hikes and even going to the gym. After about a month and half, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I can say we are so happy and in love, he has evolved into my best friend and we have such a bond that I can not compare with anyone else I ever been with. Six months to the day.

BOGUS SITE
September 25, 2017

There is no way people meet each other on there for love, in first messages I got nothing but sexual harassment, I had one member threaten sexual assault, sent pof screen shots and I got my account shut down? They not only discriminate, but allow the repeated sexual harassment of members and do NOTHING

I have been visiting POF for about six years. In the early years I dated and met a lot of women. Let me say I am NOT good looking. Just an average guy. Even some people might be cruel and say I am ugly. But no matter. In the early years women DID respond to messages. They DID read the profiles and they DID message first. At one time I had 38 unread messages in my inbox. This was about 2011. However, over the years the interest women have shown has declined. That said, even back as 2014, I was still receiving messages (different profile). Not as many as in 2011, but I was going on dates. But all this good stuff has now ended. In 2016 I have had six new profiles. No messages. No replies. And obviously no dates. With each new profile I felt I was invisible. And I probably am. No disrespect to the women on there, but I have even messaged the fat ugly ones and still no replies. Only 9 profile views over six profiles, over 11 months. It's not just POF. Oasis, OKCupid are also DEAD. I put this down to there being far too many scammers, fake men's profiles and of course the women are far too picky. Arrogant and won't even look at the profiles never mind message back. POF, RIP.

OK
February 7, 2017

Most reviews sound like people taking their rejections out on POF. The site is ok. I personally prefer OKC and Mingle2day but POF is a nice add on. Many members, easy to use, clean interface.

POF.com is pretty good for being a free dating site, however it is kind of hard though to find a decent date on there. So for those reasons, I would rate it 3 stars.

This site is so overrun by scammers. PoF will delete a REAL profile for calling them out. Check out this email's grammar. This profile was supposed to have been written by a man holding a Bachelors degree:

"please reply me with your email address so that we can talk better because i am not always on this site" EWWWWW

It's bad enough having to wade through the sex addicts and men with mental, physical, and hygienic challenges, and pretty certain hot looking guys are on their way out of life from STDs, but if you're not really blessed with a lot of free time and want to at least -sort of- screen possible mates, at least it's free.

Match.com is no better for quality potentials, tbh. Paying creeps are still creeps. $20/mo for a website full of emotionally starving, intellectually inept individuals is like shooting- or scooping out- fish in a barrel. Today's sexual predator is a wolf in sheep's clothing on these sites.

They could be good sites, but for the crappy people. Much like the world, huh?

Maybe it's time for a class action lawsuit?

SIGN ME UP for THAT!

No thanks
June 30, 2019

The real women
-Average at best, at worst unattractive
-Offer very little but expect the world
-Overweight but only put a few extra pounds
-Tons of baggage but demand men have none
-Love to go on road trips to coast despite no car and 500km from nearest beach
-Photos from 1998
-Live in a fantasy world expecting some guy on white knight to save them

The fake
-Add you as a favourite
-Send you messages saying hey there:)
-Pof seem either unwilling or unable to cope with it. Maybe the other has made his money and doesn't care

Sexist algorythym
September 15, 2023

I have written their NON- EXISTING customer service. I am angry that they let men 10 yrs older then my preference contact me. But when men who liked me, wrote me and wanted to meet who were younger then me I could not respond...beyond sexist!
And they clearly have no idea that Wenatchee, WA is part of the US...see pic below
One pic is what happened when I tried to text back to a guy who had liked and texted me FIRST, yet they send a message saying he's looking for something different.
HELLO. THEY WANTED TO TALK TO ME
But pof wouldn't let me respond even though I was a freaking paid member,. I highly DO NOT recommend...plus at least half of the attractive men are scammers who I report and they POF does absolutely nothing to get rid of the fakes...worst company ever!
