Fake
May 28, 2023

Full of fake profiles. It looks like they are no longer free. When you try and send a message it provides option to become a paying member. Use another site. It is obvious they are just like other paying site but with more fake profiles.

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.

Total scam
May 20, 2023

POF will delete your profile and keep your money with no explanation whatsoever. The site blocked and deleted my profile with no explanation because once they delete your profile you can not contact customer service to obtain a reason and they don't give refunds for paying for the service. I joined for 6 months and within hours the email notification me that I was deleted. No explanation. Out of the 26 women who supposedly were interested in meeting, none were the type you would want to meet. The software is a scam! The site doesn't deserve a star.

You look for people around your age, and grandma starts sending you likes. The people that I did talk to never ever wanted to meet thinking there bots. Would never recommend this dating site, the worst one out there. Well at least i met someone on Tinder WITH HEAD LICE!

Don't expect to see many MENSA candidates. It's full of women complaining and demanding men way out their league

Considering they expect to find the man of their dreams most of the females cant even be bothered to fill their bio out and just tell you to ask.

They all love to tell you they can't see likes. Virtually every other profile headline tells you this. They don't seem to realise everyone is saying it and it's really tedious and unimaginative.

It sums up the low quality on offer to be honest. Any decent women wouldn't be on this site. So all you have are the leftovers who cant find a man. The ones with lots of baggage and really bad attitudes

Fraud
May 14, 2023

Was curious about the site and out of pure curiosity purchased the 12 month 10 dollar a month subscription. To my surprise these A holes charged my card the full amount…Immediately started to ask for a refund. Stay tuned to see if I get the run around…

I've never seen so many dreadful people in my life on one site

The very few decent profiles all have messaging disabled

All that's left are the illiterate and angry ones who are covered in tattoos and still believe they can meet Prince Charming

If you're a man this site is a total waste of time

Zero!
May 12, 2023

I am a Veteran widow. I was harassed and stalked by scammers on this site and then I was blocked from the site by POF. I am insulted and disgusted by the way I have been treated. Not only by all the scammers but by the way I was treated by whoever manages this site.

What a joke! You can't use features until you pay to unlock them, and once you sign up and cancel, there's nothing they will do about returning your money, even though I used the features for less than 24 HOURS. Do not sign up for premium. It's not worth it, and you won't get a refund if you don't like it. No free trial, just "pay a lot of money to try something but no refunds if you don't like it right away"?! BS. Paying for anything on this app isn't worth it. I didn't like anything about the "upgrade" - don't waste your money!

The women have all the attitude of Jennifer Lopez but all the looks of H1lary Clinton and that's the problem. Dreadful women having an attitude is completely ridiculous and this site is full of them

Very few can even be bothered to fill the biography section out. If they do, it's just complaints or demands.

The most depressing website I've ever seen in my life

I set my profile so that nobody who over 40, no one who has children or is overweight or smokes could contact me. For some reason these undesirables were still able to message, what's the point if they ignore your preferences?

I don't recommend as it's full of undesirables, the worst thing though is they act like they are all deserving of a great man. Their attitudes are simply appalling, you only have to see their profiles to see they've watched too many films where the princess gets the prince and believe that's what they can get.

Trust me there are no princesses on POF, not even close

Ps get ready to constantly see "can't see likes" ad nauseam, they all want to find Mr Right on the cheap

It's fair to say 25 years ago the people on POF now would have been lucky to get a date at all in the real world. They're not very ladylike

Now thanks to the explosion of online dating you have women that are should just be grateful to get any attention actually being picky and making demands as to what kind of guy they want. Well done to the simps messaging them.

I have no interest in messaging anyone on POF. You can just tell by their profiles that they revel in drama and constant arguments. Having 20 tattoos isn't very feminine either

You definitely wouldn't take any of them to meet your mom that's for sure.

If you need a refund, read my review
April 25, 2023

I felt slightly scammed like they are baiting you by hiding your matches, then charge quite a bit if you purchase a plan - and will not offer refunds if the site doesn't meet your needs. They rejected my request for a refund. Get the Chargeback app and they provide a form letter for POF - I got a refund confirmation within 24 hours.

I really like this app. It's one of the few that lets you see who is online, and it's quite easy to use. I've been using it for years and have met some great people through it.

Down hill
April 24, 2023

Just signed up today and I get 1 first contact message free in 24 hours. They have to have some mental issues if they think thats ok. NOBODY should have to pay for a dating website with how many fake accounts are active on these platforms and its hard for me to believe that POF, whos been around for about 15 years now, hasnt been making money and HAS to do these drastic things to their free users to push them into premium memberships, which are absolutely worthless because most of the accounts you will interact with are fake. I havent checked recently but their restrictions for men and women were different a few years ago when I made an account of each. Women had the ability to send more messages and see if their messages were read but men didnt. I imagine theyre still imposing these sorts of sexist rules as well as men are more likely to pay for dating sites.
