None of POF business who I chat to. I have photos meeting guidelines and POF deleted them. Also I am limited to how many gals I say hello to. Many reasons. All of them are too scared to go out do to the scammers they create to get you to pay the premium fees. I know how to talk to the scammers,, POF makes you come up with a email that they only know to communicate. LOL. This is bogus. Dating sites were easier
Cant quite believe how unpleasant the females on POF are
Unpleasant inside and out yet full of quite ridiculous demands
Really is full of women who are right at the bottom of the pile but think they are princesses
Have no idea how they can have such an ego and attitude and demand a perfect man when they are just full of saggy skin and tattoos
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!
Pof will block you if you don't talk to the sexual deviants on their site! Furthermore POF condones child molestation on their site! This website needs to be taken down before someone seriously gets hurt!
Rhey take your money then u can't communicate with other members. I have tried 3 different time to get a person to help me. No help. By far the worst dating site I have been on.
Cast your line elsewhere. You will only catch bottom feeders and low like blood suckers that act like real people that drain the life right out of you with their low life lack if morales integrity...
They are worse the the lowest life scum bags out there. And you know who you are $#*!s oh wait... don't waste the time... they don't have $#*!s...
Cause they $#*! from there mouths and they suck their filthy fingers from sticking them in their asses or your $#*!
Just saying
The site made me laugh
Most of the females seemingly spend all their time complaining that they don't have the "meet me" option or just are going on that they are extremely independent and don't need a man. Either that or they make a big deal that unless you are over 6foot then they will ignore you! I'm clueless how they can be picky. They are usually short and less than desirable. How can they make such requests?
I can only surmise that even the very plain ones must get hundreds of messages. There must be about 500 men for every woman so even the rough ones get a stack of attention and start to get an attitude problem
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!
Do not waste your money. Literally 70% of the female profiles are fake. They respond to you giving you their Snapchat, or other platform, and ask you for money. Absolutely garbage. I'd give negative stars if I could. Ripoff.
The site is fake and does not let you communicate with others at all!
You must pay in order to talk or get anywhere on that site
Not worth your energy to use
Scam site! Beware!
BEWARE FAKE PROFILES, FAKE GUYS WHO SAY ONE THING AND DO ANOTHER! I CANNOT SAY THAT ALL MEN ARE BAD BUT MOST OF THEM ARE AWEFUL AND HURTFUL AND THEY CANNOT MAN UP (GHOSTED TOO MANY TIMES).
BUT POF IS DOING THERE BEST AND IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT!
IT'S THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES THAT ARE CHEATERS, FAKES, USERS AND LIERS!
POF SITE IS GOOD BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE THEY ARE NOT AT ALL BAD.
Females on this site are really rank bad, they are extremely unattractive and yet have huge ego's
Lots of them cant even be bothered to fill the profiles out, those that do are so choosey it's unbelievable. Making demands about height and how you must have a beard etc etc
I honestly don't get how they can have such a dreadful attitude. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand why they are single
I didn't see any friendly or cheerful women on there just deluded demands
A total waste of time even looking
Too many "likes" not enough messages, its so damn difficult! And when you actually chat to anyone its shortlived, why I use this site I really don't know, the app is useless, always something wrong with it! Sometimes I can log in and there's zero messages, why is anyone using it? I'm baffled by this
Preface for clarity- I have been using plenty of fish on and off since 2007 and it used to be extremely good, I met a lot of good and nice women off of there. But it seems that it has been going downhill since around 2008. The plenty of fish that is around now is more like tinder which is a bad model to want to copy, it still is better than tinder but it used to be one of the more top-tier dating sites to use.
I never had a problem with their customer service so I cannot complain about that, I think if they went back to how it used to be then it would be so much better. But of course don't blame the website or the folks that made it for the quality of people on there, still better than most but one of the more recent problems is the l; ive feature just a bunch of thots and wanna be influencers use it.
Never seen so many single parents in my life. Now they are past their best they all want to settle down. Why couldn't they do that when they had children? They expect you to take on another man's children and be fine with it
They all have terrible attitudes and are covered in tattoos and smoke as well. Even though they have nothing to offer they still can't be happy in their profiles. Ridiculously entitled too. All think they are 10s when they are more like 3s
Really is easy to see why they are single
I'm sure there are some sleazy men on there as well but the women are terrible and undateable
I tried this app and canceled my subscription and deleted my profile within a week. I marked that I was a guy seeking another guy, yet it would constantly send me female matches. Some of the male matches were fake profiles. The app is super glitchy, not user friendly and very expensive. Not at all worth the money or time.
I was very nervous trying the whole dating after divorce. I was able to pick and choose what I wanted to find. After a few dates and a screening process I found the one! Still going strong and on the way to marriage. Give it a shot!
The site is $#*!ing pathetic the slags are losers and are demented, they have no idea how to communicate
Ive noticed in the past 7 months that i get a like from a person i recognize the pic because theres only a hand full of women in my area. They profile was there for months but as soon as i see they like me there profile disappears seems there using ex members to make you pay to see likes or making it impossible to find someone for free. I'm willing to pay for a dating site but all seem so shady i can't trust them.
This is one site that is good at faking you out, I subscribed to this site on my computer and I downloaded it on my PHONE (NOT COMPUTER) I received more likes than I can handle, historically I have been told I am very handsome and i am a ex footballer financially well off but I've never been rejected by so many women in my life as I have been on this site but I found out why... when I tried to go to my computer (NOT MY PHONE) to type in the name of the likes 100% of the time it turned out to be a fake profile. These "likes" are meant to get you to subscribe meaning to pay money monthly yearly excetera excetera. This one of many websites faking you out and using profiles of attractive women to get you to subscribe but when you subscribe all of a sudden the likes disappear and so does your money it's a shame but that's the American way, greed and lack of character in business dealings. The creators of this site should read the part in the Bible about the Lake of Fire for liars and deceivers.
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.
