Plenty of Fish or POF is not that bad, yes the layout and the script is not as fancy as other websites but still works. I've managed to meet a few ladies from there, just regular ladies, not Miss Universes or something like that. Real people for real times. Yes, there are the picky ones and also the mean ones, like any other website but its free and you can get almost all the benefits without paying (there are a couple of profiles when you are told you have to upgrade to chat with these which I consider somewhat of a scam but these are only a few) therefore you can get something done for you.
POF has potential if you give it a try.
