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

Low quality
October 2, 2022

The females spend way too much time complaining they can't see likes and not enough time filling the profile out properly. Do they not realize every other woman is saying the same about likes, it's boring. They prefer to spend the vital first impression complaining rather than be funny or friendly. Not a great start.

Even if you get likes and match if you message they'll just ignore you or if they reply they're only capable of one word replies

The vast majority just come across as unattractive, unhappy, unintelligent, unbalanced and undateable with tons of issues. They have all seen better days too
Of course despite all that they all expect the man of their dreams

Don't waste valuable time on this app. O stars

Now I can only message one non-match every twenty-four hours? And they give the same message when I try to message someone who is a match? They're still not as pathetic as okcupid, but they're getting there fast.

Don't waste your time
September 30, 2022

I've been using this site, for years now. I'm 28 and I've been on pof since I was 20 years old. I've had plenty of dates over the years but I have to say the options are horrible. Women are not attractive and want men who are perfect. 80 percent of the women have a few kids and are overweight. Honestly I wish I just spoke to women in real life. Thinking back over the years there were plenty of women who were interested I just didn't realize it. Just try your luck in real life. I know women nowadays can be intimidating but your better off. Best of luck.

Hey POF, what gives you the right to block so many members from one another? You don't ask about income levels. There are way too many people not for you according to POF. NOT COOL!

POF staff is comprised of nothing more that racist, sociopathic, lying sewage water weirdos who sit around all day discriminating against profiles made by people of color. If they put this same amount of focus and energy in monitoring all of the trash on their site, they wouldn't have so many negative comments regarding not just the members but specifically the "handlers" named Markus running it.

Breathtaking bad
September 15, 2022

I can't believe this site is real. It's like the Twilight Zone where everything is back to front

Take all the things in the world that turn men off. Lack of kindness, lack of class, lack of femininity, unpleasantness, entitlement, being obese( plus-sized curvy as they call it) smoking a lot, having a shedload of children and being covered in tattoos as well as having no personality at all or sense of humour yet expecting the man to be perfect

Then see these women say things like I can't believe I'm doing this~ Make me laugh ~ How would you impress me? Like they're doing you a favour

I would love to see these woman try to act like this offline. They would be laughed out the bar, yet online they've actually convinced themselves they are princesses. It's absolutely insane. If you think I'm joking Check it out. It's horrendous x20

Too picky and too bitter
September 12, 2022

The women all want a perfect guy but why would anyone even half perfect want anything to do with them?

99% are unattractive overweight -covered in tattoos and have multiple children out of wedlock, but most importantly of all they're not nice people, there's no happiness or kindness in their profiles they are just bitter. Most are way, way past their best yet act like they're still 23.

Most can't even be bothered to to fill their profile out and tell you to ask. They spend more time telling you they can't see likes than filling out their bio.

It is literally the bottom 5% society has to offer who believe they're entitled to the top 5% of men. Absolutely insane behavior

I recommend you play pof bingo,

Can't see likes
My kids will always come first
Make me laugh
I'm independent and don't need a man
Can't see likes
I know my worth
Not prepared to settle
Photos up only of their round face
Where is my prince charming?
Did i mention they can't see likes?

Let's call it how it is
Full of women who are about 360lb have 5 children all out of wedlock, 8 tattoos and are about a 2/10.
Problem is they all think they're a 9 or 10/10 and have lost touch with reality since they went online. This behavior wouldn't be tolerated offline

They make zero effort to be friendly or kind in their bio and either tell you to ASK them or just list a lot of unrealistic demands in their profile

You have ZERO chance of meeting even a half decent woman. They're all bitter damaged and unpleasant who spend all their time saying they can't see likes. You would think in their late 30s 40s they would know better,, apparently not. They want everything and offer nothing

I recommend you play pof bingo,

Can't see likes
My kids will always come first
Make me laugh
I'm independent and don't need a man
Can't see likes
I know my worth

Scammer's Paradise
August 28, 2022

This site is full of people pretending to be someone they're not. I've been on it for about 6 weeks and most of the people I've communicated with prove not to be who they say they are when take the time to check their photos. I've posted an example but there have been more, this guy was the mist prolific. His photos actually appeared in 3 different places under 3 different names. I certainly would not pay to be on this site.

Full of single mums who love to say 'my children will always come first', why do they feel the need to say this? Not only does it not need saying but just puts men off, who wants to be number 2 in a relationship. And let's be honest if they were really that important to them why aren't they still with the dad?

They are also very large but they use the word curvy instead lol yet expect to find a man who is talk dark and handsome. They need to get real

Oh and at least half of the profiles are fake

What a joke
August 22, 2022

No real men, just a lot of fakes, scammers, catfishers, or just simply lazy men looking for a new home,. And never have I seen so many men using filters on their photos,( and you guys complain about women doing this? Ha Ha) or a refreshed photo that's 20 years old. There has to be something better
