The overall reputation of Plenty of Fish (POF) is largely negative, with customers expressing significant dissatisfaction regarding the quality of profiles and user interactions. Common concerns include a high prevalence of fake profiles, rudeness, and entitlement among users, particularly women, who are perceived as unrealistic in their dating expectations. Many reviews highlight poor customer service, including issues with account management and a lack of effective support. While some users acknowledge the site's potential for connecting singles, the overwhelming sentiment suggests that POF has declined in quality and user experience, leading many to seek alternatives.

If you look up dominategoddes from Pa she mentions pegging. Aka where a male takes a strap on anally. It should be noted that this pertains to sex. Check out her profile. It shpu; dnt be allowed
Full of females who are probably 3|10 at the very best, yet somehow act like they are 10|10 models. That's the problem and why this online will never work. If they accepted they are 3s not 10s maybe they would get a date.
They talk about 'refusing to settle' and how they 'know their worth' and other nonsense they've read in a magazine. They also like to say how if they don't reply it's because you're not their type. I found it quite sad to see such hostile attitudes and picky women who really had no right to demand anything. They want too much and offer too little... Sorry not for me
Most of these have a longest relationship of a year which is quite revealing in itself
They all seem to have tons of offspring, smoke, have more tattoos than sailors and are out of shape (or plus size as they say) yet expect the guy to be absolutely perfect! It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone
I guarantee this is an online thing. If the women tried to pull all this entitlement stuff in a bar they'd get laughed out the place.
Remember online isn't the real world
POF is loaded with fake profiles and Nigerian scammers. You're lucky if 5% of the women on POF are real. Use POF at your own risk, because you'll get scammed.
First off, Plenty Of Fish is not everybody's mother. I find that the people that run the website limits who gets to message who by putting a age limit range and I find that you cannot message anybody around 10-15 years older or younger than yourself. Also what bothers is that POF is so easy to listen and believe in the little complaints and hand out easy profile deletion and ban very quickly without giving warnings.
I wouldn't bother evening filling out a profile
All the messages I got couldn't even make an effort with their opening message and then I had to do all the talking as they couldn't or wouldn't keep the conversation going. The ones who said don't just message Hey were the very ones who sent me a message just saying Hi
Most of the females on there you are not blessed with even average looks and one would think they might make it up for it by having a good sense of humour or being nice or having a good personality but no chance. All I saw was negativity and complaints on the profile. Don't message if you lie or cheat said one (as if men reading that would think okay best not message then) and all the others just had negative vibes. They didn't seem to care about what the men might think and obviously never heard of creating a good first impression--We all have baggage but is it really a good idea putting it on your bio for all to see how bitter you are? My children and cats and dogs and friends will always come first was what I saw a lot
Don't get me started on the silly lists, don't message if you like more than 10 miles away, don't message if you are under 6 foot, don't message if you have brown hair etc etc etc. In reality they should be grateful to get any men message them and shows how out of touch they are putting barriers up
You get what you pay for (FREE) although I doubt the women are any better on paid for sites but this POF really is full of the very low class, a terribly low standard of females. You wouldn't take any of these to meet your mum that's for sure. They would spend all their time cussing or showing your mum their tattoos
I was on here messaging a few people having a normal conversation after signing up and now I cannot login again for whatever reason by account got deleted! WOW.
Site is trash garbage.
All of the females have seen better days yet I lost count the number of times they all said they want someone who is tall plays rugby and who will be their prince, so they dont want much? None of them said what they would offer the prince, its all about what they want
If you actually find a decent woman she will have kids and makes it clear that her kids/cats/dogs and everyone else will come before you
They all seem totally obsessed with height, hundreds of profiles when they are just 5'2 tall and say unless you are 6'1 or taller dont contact them. Can you imagine them saying that in a bar?
The time you upgrade if it's not in the same day in couple days they lock your account as fake for you to creat and other one and pay again so never upgrade in this stupid app and if you try to contact them they keep you running in one cercle until you give up so never ever upgrade
Trustpilot have allowed pof to spam their site with fake nonsensical reviews all giving 5*
Pof is rammed full of bots all advertising a scam site
When you finally find real women you'll soon wish you hadn't. Very disappointing standard to say the least. The funniest thing is they all want a male model with whom they have a connection with. Don't they realize a male model wouldn't need to be on here? None of them want normal they all demand absolute perfection. With what they're offering in return they have no chance
I have experienced several men that lie and womanize Roccotheitalian…. He used me he lied numerous times he has he wants marriage HE DOES NOT it's all a way to manipulate women I have told you what these men have done they still have an account that is open and doing it to others …. How dare POF not believe the female getting ready to notify someone from ME TOO! Do something about these men
The guy that runs this site... and there are so many fake profiles. I've just asked for my money back, yet again. I think he's 38, and bought this site from the other guy that now owns a wine production factory in Canada. I get nowhere on this site, and I'm totally honest about everything I write... I've been told to post a photo of myself next to a corvette, that lots of young women would write me... but I can't do that. Women can post photos of themselves in bikini's, but men can't have their shirts off and they can't have anything but there face showing... I'm good looking, I've been told that, I'm also quite bright, not a good thing.
This guy is fundamentally a whore monger! LOL!
Ive been using this site since 2010. Its 100% free to use unless u pay for the optional extra features.
Never been scammed on there.
They even have a section on their for members to organise parties u can sign up to and go for free. But that function isnt working right now due to the covid restrictions.
I went to a few of the meetups. My local 1 was at a bowling ally and all we had to pay for was drinks from the bar or if we wanted to bowl which was at a discount due to being a group booking. But entry to the bowling ally was free.
Also went to a pub in a city not far from me as 1 member was holding a birthday party for himself and it was my birthday the same day. As a group of us were going from the same city we hired a mini bus to take us their and bring as back again. And split the cost between us.
Ive never met anyone on there except at the group meets. But thats cause im too shy to send msgs to the women i like or my matches and wait for them to msg me 1st. But ive never met anyone from any of the dating sites im on.
If u use a pay dating site be prepared to get scammed as only the paid for sites scam u the free ones dont.
Yes u might get members on the sites try to scam u but the free sites do watch out for that and kick them off once reported which the pay to use sites dont.
No decent woman is going to come on PoF so all you find are the ones who are not very good quality (and thats being polite).
Its the lowest 10% of women searching for the top 10% of men, ridiculous scenario
The weird thing is despite the fact they are all not very pretty, chubby and have tons of children and other baggage they somehow think they are a great catch and demand only the finest men available. You couldnt make it up
Just check out the attitude on the profiles they put up if you dont believe me.
An absolute pitiful depressing experience, full of the uncouth rejects of society
It is now Feb 2022. I have been on and off POF since 2015. Mostly off as I work full time (professional career field). I have seen numerous women, (60%) with the same pictures today as in 2015. Wow, that's eight (8) years! Plus how long have those pictures been on since I first saw them. That concerns me regarding "reaching out" to them. Apparently they do not care about their profile as they show no concern about updating it. And yes, they show "on line" so it's not like they have left the site years ago. I have met several women on POF. I am not looking for marriage and NO, I am not a serial dater. I have never been scammed nor had a woman ask for money. The majority of women I have met (85%) look like their pictures. I have read some frightening, negative reviews and believe each one is true. I consider myself lucky thus far and do my "homework" before meeting. Best of luck in all your online dating endeavors.
The site would get 10 Stars if you are in to only obese women. It's not a horrible site I did have one good experience in the 5 years I've been affiliated with the site. Like I said it's not a horrible site, just not enough women of my type 2 entice me to pay for the site.
Waste of time if you are a man. Its not the site its the people on it, You are competing with 100s of other men and the pickings are poor
I eventually found a couple of profiles that seemed reasonable and messaged them. The first went berserk at me simply because I missed a letter from her name and then second one just blocked me after I sent her a pleasant message. What the heck is wrong with them? Talk about attitude problem
Rest of them were not very good-looking, had too much baggage and seemed very bitter and vengeful towards men. I guess they can have an attitude because they know they'll get messages from needy men
There will be good women about still just not online dating. They all seem messed up or just plain nasty online
Can someone explain to me how the females on POF can act like they do with such an unpleasant attitude? They are incapable of being nice
They all look like extras from Hills Have Eyes and lack basic intelligence. They have 10 tattoos, 5 children, 4 chins and a chip on each shoulder yet act like they are deserving of a David Beckham lookalike.
They all complain that they don't have the meet me option (God forbid they might pay) and love to tell you how wonderfully independent they are and how you must be nigh on perfect to contact them.
It's a shocking calibre of women. It's the bottom 5% of women who all seem to be holding out for the top 5% of men
If they tried that offline they'd be laughed at. The rejects in society wanting a male model-Yeah good luck with that one
What's all this refusing to settle I keep reading? The women saying this have multiple kids out of wedlock and are way past their best. Yet they're not prepared to settle. Deluded much?
Seems that the women all want men way out their League. Lots of 2s wanting a man who is a perfect 10. They demand everything but have nothing to give apart from tattoos and attitude
Lots of the profiles are depressing and reek of bitterness and entitlement
Got so tired of reading no liars or cheats need apply.
Got tired of reading list after list of demands
Even the chubby ones think they can be choosy.
Just full of drama queens. 0 stars
I blame feminism and the media for giving them the fake narrative telling them they all deserve a 10-10 man
Refuse to settle LOL
98% do not respond to " hi, liked your- whatever you read in their profile" they delete it some read, and then delete. After being on this site for 60 days 2021-22. I can honestly say it is not worth the money. If you do not become a full paying member, you will never know who you are writing to has been on the site. Until you check your sent box and for me out of 40 sent messages the longest on was not on this site for 198 days, the shortest one 16 days not read. Why would you want to send a message to some that have not been active on the site for 45-198 days. Why? Cause POF is only interested in your $$$$$. Don't join OkCupid either-big waste your $$$$$- take yourself out for a nice dinner. I am done with an American woman who is online and since I am a nice guy I say how I really feel about them. There are no pictures to show.
Answer: Oh yes, they want you to upgrade and pay! But when you pay you will see these profiles who you liked or who liked you disappear. They were nothing but bait-and-switch. You gain nothing when you pay, it's the silliest way to spend money. Are you looking for hook up or relationship? I wanted a relationship and I was really frustrated by Pof. Eventually I found what I was looking for on https://j4l.com/402007 But I've lost nearly a year on Pof. Not to mention emotional drain and money!
Answer: I just deactivated my account. This site is a sewer. Do not pay anything for this site or any site. I searched for free on other site( even paid ones you can search for free) and I saw the same guys on most of the other sites as well. I'm gonna grow old alone unless luck steps in and maybe I'll meet my guy IRL.
Answer: Yes its possible
Answer: Delete AND contact the company. If you know who took your pictures be sure to include the name on the profile that your pictures were used on, so they can deal with that person. Once you have deleted your profile, everything is GONE. I have never had anybody use my pictures on any other sites. I'm no great beauty, that could be the reason, Still, once your profile is deleted, everything is gone.
Answer: You cannot do it from the mobile site. You need to use your search, example safari and look up pof desktop version and go to the help in the top left. It will walk you thru it, if I remember correctly. Good luck
Answer: First, write to POF and explain. Now, and I mean NOW call up your credit card company and tell them what happened. I am sure POF will not contact you. Make sure to use the word "unacceptable" when describing the consumer service to the CC company about POF. Keep all emails too. Please keep me posted. Thanks Ann B.
Answer: STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAMMING SITE! Any good you hear from or about it... DUH ITS THE SCAMMERS THAT WORK FOR EM. I been booted so many times due to unpopularity cuz i wont date trash so i get booted they keep your money they are garbage
Answer: Fake doesn't really describe them... more like downright liars!
Answer: Golden rule #1: Do onto others as you would have them do unto you Golden rule #2: Anything that sounds to good to be true, is not. Golden rule #3: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Answer: POF is not free at all, you have to upgrade; become a paying member to be able to do anything interesting.
