I've been locked out of my account 2 times by Plenty of Fish-1st they let my account be hacked and closed me down with zero notice, now with a 2nd account I don't receive mail! This POF company is not even in the USA (somewhere in Europe) and has no customer service telephone number, the one listed are Pakastani's who laugh at you because they hacked your account-Don't waste your time!

POF or Piece Of $#*!?
April 25, 2015

I created a profile a week ago and my account was deleted with no explanation two days ago. I've tried to contact their PR department (the only contact listed under "Contact Us") as well as "*******@pof.com" (after an online search) and have not heard back. I never violated any of the terms, no nudity, no inappropriate behavior, nothing rude or inflammatory, nothing. In fact, I was emailed something sexually inappropriate and never responded, but that person was able to keep their profile, AND I was emailed something bizarre that only said "U are bad :(" from someone I hadn't messaged prior...

I wonder if whoever that was didn't like my profile for some unknown reason and hit "block user" so POF just deleted my account. It doesn't make sense either way.

I'd give half a star if I could.

This site's PR department is full of $#*!. POF seriously can't be the leading dating site with all these problems. If they spent more time fixing their problems rather than their image, it would be a better site. I can't stress enough how frustrated I am with them.

Steer clear
August 25, 2021

If you have any self respect at all, stay away from Plenty of Fish.
Nevermind the fact the site is riddled with scammers trying to get your money.
Even if you find a date and think He/She might be a good one, and you'll find some attractive men and women on there.
There's only one major problem, they're all self absorbed, egotistical, narcissistic $#*!s.
Every woman I've ever dated from that site has some sort of serious mental health issue.
Ranging from abusive past relationships, having been raped or like I said, they're just too into themselves to care about anyone else.

Plenty of Fish itself used to be free back when it first started, and wasn't a bad option.
But has since degraded into a hookup site for lonely or cheating men and women.
Not only that, but they now want to charge you to use basic features lsuch as the like feature and view me feature.
All a cash grab and a bad way to go for your mental health if you care about yourself.

Learn how to meet and date men and women the old fashioned way. The internet has become a trove of trolls and miscreants.

The "trashy" sites are getting to be more upfront and honest with issues like complaints about "members IM" and canceling account... you would not believe the obfuscation and the runaround! I don't think their "customer service" really exists. Just try to get something other than a robotic response that tells you nothing... keep away! If you get too mad or frustrated they will purposely send you a window that asks if you wan't to DELETE ACCOUNT AS OPPOSSED TO CANCEL SO THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU AT ALL.(as stated by them). If you delete... we wil not let you back in EVER!

Rippoff bull$#*!
March 16, 2016

I was sick of getting old ladies and l am 56 but I date women in the 30s all I got was grandma 60 70 the settings I put in changed back to 60 70 I was corespondng with a 32 year old and I get lectures about l was too old for this one yet I will probably take her out soon, just because I can get on with younger woman who is this site to tell me I can't then to make it worse I had no access to the site and they charged me for the up grade when I was off the site and could not get back on to stop it blatant thieves. If they were in this country they would have been blown up by now utter bull $#*! where do they get the old ladies pictures from the death notices in the newspaper I t recon. Dont touch it with a 20 ft pole.

My subscription was scheduled to end on July 1. I put a note on my calendar to cancel it on July 1. When I woke up that morning, I was already billed $38.40 for a service I WILL NEVER USE. POF has ripped me off and won't refund my money. NEVER, EVER deal with this company. These people will steal your money then claim that they NEVER GIVE MONEY BACK!

I am a great dad, I have a daughter. I am very Kind, loving, caring, romantic, hard working, Have a good sense of Humor, Easy Outgoing, Passionate, Honest, Responsible, down to earth, full of life, free spirited. I Love To Smile and never get Angry. I am creative and I never Play Mind Games. I love romantic nights but missing that part for quite some time now, food, pretty much in that order. Being able to laugh is one of the best ways to cope with life's rough patches, and it doesn't hurt during the good times either! An adventurous spirit motivates me to meet the challenges of being what and who I am today which drives me to seek out new experiences through travel, sight seeing and generally having fun. I Love cooking and think am good at it. Traveling, swimming, candlelight dinners, movies, walking on the beach, watching sunsets, Camping, reading and meeting New People, Dancing and listening to all kinds of Music... I love sports, the outdoors and dinning at great restuarants. I can be your best friend with family values and a cheerful outlook on life with a positive attitude. Content with my work. I live a healthy lifestyle, just ask around. I usually let you decide which it will be... I'm a good friend, listener, loyal, hard worker, brutally honest. Expressing my true feelings and I don't judge the action of people.

Equal Opportunity Digust
November 20, 2019

So here is a review from a woman: there are some decent men on the site. But too many are looking for a FWB. Too many expect women to get in a relationship with them instantly, without even seeing if a friendship is possible. And the audacity of separated or partnered men to be on a dating site saying they want a relationship is laughable. There are men on the site, who can't even write a simple sentence, but think that they will have something wonderful and intelligent to say to women with college and university degrees. And as far as looks, again, there are some decent, attractive ones. However, there are a whole lot of men on the site, who need some serious help in presenting themselves attractively. These men are not groomed. Some look like they are related to Santa Claus. Some have not bought any new clothes in a decade. Some wear tee shirts and/or shorts in every picture (I hate the sleeveless tee shirts). Some don't wear any shirts. Nasty things! Some dress like pimps. Some are just down right, low down, trashy looking. A woman interacting with some of these men will experience doubled standards and sexism.

The females on pof are a joke. They're all bored sociopaths looking for a fresh game to play, nothing more. They are fat, smell bad, are hideously ugly, and have the I. Q. of a lawn weed.

Yea... NO.
April 2, 2016

I dated a few guys on this website, including my ex-boyfriend. Some of the guys were okay, others not so much. I wanted a guy with at least a college degree and some ambition, but only one guy I dated from the site had a degree. And the one who did have a college degree was creepy, and clearly had no social skills. Another guy got drunk on our first date, so I put him in a cab and sent him home. My ex-boyfriend had no education and zero ambition, and we broke up after dating for quite awhile. (It was my fault, I thought he would change but he never did, despite his family pushing him to better himself.) He wasn't a bad guy, but he was just wrong for me in every way.

This past year, after having been single for awhile, I decided to give this another shot. I think the website is actually worse than it was several years ago. I set up my filters so that only men who live in my area could message me- well, I'm getting messages from men in other states and even other countries? WTF! The guys who message me are pretty much all the same type of guy you would find on any website- lots of clearly fake profiles that vanish after one or two messages. Also, guys trolling for their next hook-up. One guy that I wasn't attracted to actually cursed me out for not messaging him back. Nice, right? Like they say, you get what you pay for. Will be deleting soon.
