Some of these guys are not willing to meet in a safe public place. One man immediately started asking me for sex, without even knowing my real true first name; & NOT wanting to meet me FIRST in person. Another guy requested that I immediately go to his house>& I have no clue at all what this jerk is truly like in person, & for real or in reality!>to me that is very CREEPY as hell. Another guy posted a pic that was at least 20 to 25 years old minimum. I have been so disappointed by online dating!:-( To me, online dating does seem to be full of "not worth it men" unfortunately for us women.:-(

I tried this site for several months. Not worth the time, money or effort.
Many fake and outdated profiles that keep showing up.
A lot of scammers wanting business.
Too many fat women.
Also too many restrictions. The age restriction was the killer for me.
Much better sites out there.

The site is a joke
May 18, 2021

I just uploaded a new picture and they take it down almost nanoseconds. The picture is me I look different in every pic.

Also months ago u take down my dog pic yet I see so many woman put dog pics up.

It doesn't make sense and u pof workers should be consistent. I don't know what kind of people u hire.

I guess u get what u pay for cause it's free. Do they hire clerks who just click buttons to show there working

Trust me go to a reputable site that costs money you'll get real people who know what there doing

And that doesn't even count the issues trying to get in.

Just no good now.
December 3, 2022

OK let's get this straight right from the start, POF is definitely not a scam site, I have used it for many years and have met some nice people and well.not so nice, it works or at least it did, I rejoined several months ago only to discover they've changed the format. So now it seems you can only send one message every 48 hours?unlike before where you had a decent message quota, I realise they want you to subscribe but It's supposed to be a free site and now it's just unusable and rubbish really
Shame

Stay Away
February 7, 2016

Been on here twice, the first time for about 6 months and it ended with a wife calling me from my number that she found in her husband pocket. So I left the sight. Then after several after that I thought I might give it one more try. Several guys responded to my profile and most were only in meeting and having sex. No Thanks. Please don't waste your time.

Hacked account
March 6, 2016

Was on POF maybe two weeks got my account hacked. Paid for 3 months can't get into account at all. Emailed customer service no resolution no money back. Customer will take even reply back to you. Nome of my email accounts work. Got hacked bad so why would anyone want to be with this horrible site? Read reviews like this to make an educated decision before throwing your money away. Stay away far away from POF.

Plenty of Fish Rots
February 12, 2017

They have seemingly clear terms of service as to what is prohibited, such as posting of nudity. I did not violate any of the terms of service set forth by them but apparently I violated some undocumented parameter - they simply deleted my account without warning or explanation and were not responsive to inquiries. As a result some hours spent there reviewing profiles and sending out messages was completely wasted. Don't waste your time.

Don't waste your time lads. The women on here have elevated themselves so far above what they actually are, they think of themselves as goddesses. Problem is, in the main, they are all so bloody god damn average and not worth the effort they want you to put in. I'm off it for good. Lets find someone in real life that's not up their own a*se xxx

First off I'm a non paying member. I received my fair share of "Meet Up" notifications. Obviously since I haven't paid I can't see who they are. I was able to identify several of the senders on my own. Everyone one I emailed did not email me back. So one of two things is happening. Either they accidentally swiped right as wanting to meet me or the site itself is sending out the notifications. I find that most of my notifications arrive during the wee hours of the morning which I thought was a bit odd. I'm done playing with the fish and have deleted my account.

Plenty of fish review
January 22, 2022

Plenty of fish has been part of my single routine more than one go around Until Feb 15,2020 I received a message from a no pic profile after the worst valentines day ever. Tired of being lonely, tired of dating liars, not wanting to give up. That innocent conversation lead me through the murky waters of the pond of POF I had found my now husband! Married Feb 14 2021!
I love him more than anything in the world! He loves me just the same!

Thank you POF!

After using POF for nine months, I found a vast number of scammers and questionable characters. POF does not do an adequate job of screening the users. Also, their bill practice is deceptive. It is difficult to figure out how to cancel. If you think you have and did not, you will get billed even if you notify them immediately about the oversight. There are plenty of other dating websites out there, use one with a better reputation!

Keeps going downhill
September 21, 2023

There is little that I like. Their GPS is pathetic. Despite stating within 50 mile radius, most profiles are at least 100 miles away. There are so many scammers, it is really scarey. They should make validation mandatory. I wish I didn't buy but you have to in order to use it. This will be last time.

User beware
December 17, 2018

This is a horrible dating site. I find most of the men to be incredibly rude, crude and extremely entitled. They believe they are entitled to a response from any lazy message they send. They believe they are entitled to know information about you that is no one's business. The behavior of a lot of men on the site is completely unacceptable. I have been on and off POF since March of 2017 and I've reached my limit with this site. I feel as though it's scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to dating.

Waste of money
March 19, 2024

I stupidly paid for a month. I'm glad it wasn't longer.

My review
I can honestly say I've never encountered so many people with issues in my life. It's just riddled with ignorant egotistical people full of their own self importance.

There are way too many messed up people on POF; it's terrible. I sent nothing but polite messages and got some of the nastiest replies I've ever seen.

Honestly, please don't waste your time. You'll be dealing with people who lack kindness and social skills. If they act this poorly online, can you imagine what they are like in real life?

I had a lucky escape.

There is a probably a nice woman on there somewhere but I didn't find her in 30 days. GL finding her

WORTHLESS
December 24, 2020

If you are looking to find some dates or relationships etc. It really should not be so hard nor should it cost to boost your profile. F-ing $#*!ed. The only people getting hooked are the customers. I have been on this site for about a month. There is too much BS. You have a site in place, it works, why not give a fair price and leave it at that. Stop F-ing around. People have hearts, some have depression, some are suicidal, some will get homicidal and why? Because A-holes who only a care about every last cent they can rip away from you. Give you a little taste, then slowly devour your soul. People are looking for love, dating, friendship. I am thinking to put something up myself. I dont need money. I am a disabled combat Veteran who is working to better himself and I really dont like wasting more time. I spent time overseas where people where being blown apart, while my wife and children were at home and it sucked bad. For what?

Stop playing for this bull$#*! $#*! site nobody is serious and there's way to many scammers. POF wants to charge to see who viewed you now and it's not worth it considering they'll lock your account with no reason behind it. Go out in public to meet people. Stop wasting your time here

POF continues to go downhill in quality, and at an alarmingly fast rate. They're essentially doing everything in their power to get users to pay for their ridiculous subscription. 99.9% of the users are bogus. The site is a complete and utter scam. Quantity over quality. The absolute worst dating app imaginable. They're desperate because they're no longer making money off of advertisements. Do not become a paying customer. You've been warned.

First off never seen more overweight women in my life on a dating site. Then let's not even talk about their attitudes. OMG I honestly think a lot are just men haters. I guess some of these women never heard the expression of catch more flies with honey than vinegar? The site isn't worth FREE let alone a paid membership. I would never renew for anything.
