99% fake profiles
October 3, 2021

POF is an interesting model because it's a free application in many ways. Obviously, having a subscription to it gives you more features but when you consider that 99% of the people on there are scammers, using other people's images and profile information, well, it's a bust.

When someone's profile has coherent grammar but then they talk to you as though they know little English, it's pretty clear their info is stolen. Plus, most of the women's images are stolen straight from Instagram models. If you do a reverse image search of their pictures, 9 out of 10 times you find the same image on someone else's account or just 30 different places on the internet.

Until POF starts requiring people to verify their images and identity, you might be safer staying single or buying a Fleshlight.

Tremendous site if you're looking for an out of shape female with lots of attitude and plenty of children. Also plenty of tattoos, dog kissing in photos and lack of intelligence and decorum

I got so tired of reading from females well past their best "looking for that elusive spark " and "looking for a partner in crime"

I can only think simp men must flood them with messages because it's basically females that are 2 out of 10 acting like they are Victoria Secret models. Let's be honest if they internet didn't exist they'd be single forever

It's like getting to the market late, all the best fruit and veg have been snapped up and all that's left are the mouldy old and out of shape stuff nobody wants, well that's the females on pof

It's a rip off
September 23, 2021

POF is all scam preying on people who just want a legitimate date. I would bet a huge percentage of the profiles are AI Bots because when you strike up conversations the messages that are sent back are consistently irrelevant to the conversation. Some of the more complex questions you might ask are met with confusion and mindless blather that makes no sense. I believe they take photos from actual people and write up generic profiles to get you interested and hooked. Do you can keep payments going to them! These people are bastards! Keep your money! Do things the old fashioned way and go talk to women in public face to face.

Talk about entitlement and ridiculously high opinion of themselves. I've never seen anything so crazy in my life

I've never seen so many single mums and unattractive women in my life.
Vast majority are ugly inside and out yet sit on their laptops thinking they are the bee's knees.
The two I found to chat with that seemed okay had absolutely no chat and it was like pulling teeth so I gave up

The final straw was when I saw a profile from a woman in her mid forties which said she wasn't prepared to settle even if it meant waiting as she knew what she was worth. I mean seriously how deluded can you be?
She smoked and had children.

No way I was sticking around. It's full of really low class females who can't get a man in the real world yet go online and in their own minds become a princess

Worst 3 weeks of my life
September 9, 2021

Spent a few weeks on here, time i will never get back

Some thoughts
1-you are competing with literally hundreds of other men
2- the women you competing for are literally rejects and undateables
3- Most women were overweight
4- Most women were very ordinary looking at best
5- Most women demanded someone way out of their league
6- Most had some kind of issue such as baggage or mental health issues
7- You will not find anyone decent on here if you are a man
8- Most women were so picky it made me laugh
9-Most women were short yet wanted a tall guy
10- There is a reason they are single and it isnt because of Covid like they claim
11- Most of the women have a truly appalling attitude on their profile

I would not recommend this website and their Facebook page to My worst enemy looking for a date.
The supposed women on this site are usually from China, Africa, the Middle East or Eastern Europe. I have read texts with the same question " Could You send Me a 50 Dollar Stream Gift Card?" If not question I usually have gotten requests for Money, sometimes I would get messages from women or better yet so called women asking for My Address claiming to be in My local area, but when I look at their profile they have a bunch of friends from Africa, India or the middle east and no mutual friends of mine and not a single picture on their timeline of anything local, nothing but posing in skimpy bikinis or of a group of people in a foreign country.

Full of dregs
September 6, 2021

I genuinely don't understand how women who are overweight*unattractive*with multiple children can have such a picky and stuck up attitude in the profile they put up on the site

It is full of silly unrealistic people who expect to find the man of the dreams yet have absolutely nothing to give back. All you would get from these women would be earache

Just full of obnoxious drama queens who think they are princesses.

I tried to leave a review on TP but they're flooding the page with fake 5 star reviews

Must be 500 men for every 1 woman on pof so you have no chance

Pof is awful. I got tired of reading "looking for connection" or "must be a spark" always from a woman who is 3/10 at best overweight and/or unattractive zero self awareness that it works both ways, just totally self indulgent. ME ME ME is all they care about

An average looking female told me she felt like a pop star after being on the site a few days. Tons of messages about 30 a day she was getting, she even told me men message the same day after day even if you don't reply. The just say hello r u OK? Day after Day, talk about desperate.

I have no intention on competing with 100s of desperate men for ordinary or unattractive women
The women must think Christmas has come early. No wonder they have such a deplorable attitude in their profiles if they're getting floods of mail from desperate men. Most either bitter and twisted from being in a long relationship or their longest relationship is under a year at 40 years old. Huge red flag

I'll either meet someone in the real world or stay single

I'm writing this review to not necessarily blame POF because a lot of this might not be under their control but to advise the consumer he has little chance of finding someone there on that site if course if you're a woman and just offering one night stands this is right up your alley! Simply said the amount of fake profiles and scammers there are unbelievable so really all you're left with are stuck up $#*!es or women so unattractive that they're trying to use this site to get ANYONE? Haha again don't waste your time you'll get no where with them!

What a horrible site
August 26, 2021

I paid for a 3 month membership hoping to see out fake profileS. Nope it didn't. So many fake profiles and I've had 2 prostitution solicitations. The site makes it impossible to communicate with anyone to file a complaint with their customer service. They don't know what that words means. Please don't give this site one penny of your hard earned money. Need more proof I've got plenty

Steer clear
August 25, 2021

If you have any self respect at all, stay away from Plenty of Fish.
Nevermind the fact the site is riddled with scammers trying to get your money.
Even if you find a date and think He/She might be a good one, and you'll find some attractive men and women on there.
There's only one major problem, they're all self absorbed, egotistical, narcissistic $#*!s.
Every woman I've ever dated from that site has some sort of serious mental health issue.
Ranging from abusive past relationships, having been raped or like I said, they're just too into themselves to care about anyone else.

Plenty of Fish itself used to be free back when it first started, and wasn't a bad option.
But has since degraded into a hookup site for lonely or cheating men and women.
Not only that, but they now want to charge you to use basic features lsuch as the like feature and view me feature.
All a cash grab and a bad way to go for your mental health if you care about yourself.

Learn how to meet and date men and women the old fashioned way. The internet has become a trove of trolls and miscreants.

I have wasted time and money on here. My advice? Seek out better ones, i. E., Match.com and Harmony.com Don't waste your money, time and self-respect on POF. If it's too good to be true, it's scammer city.

Signed up years ago, went out with one man from the Finger Lakes, NY. Initials: JLK. Stay away from him!
He is a fraud, likes to torture women emotionally, attaches to you like the Covid.
He has been stalking, harrassing, intercepting phone, computer, slanders me with aquaintances, sends people to follow me. Has basically ruined my life and I don't know him! POF, please take his profile down!

Ok so i joined Pof Thinking. Ill find Someone in my Area but if your a Guy Who lives in San Antonio its Gonna Be a Real Hellhole most of the. Nerd/Geek Girls in my Area Just. Will ignore your messages its hard for a Hopless. Romantic Fall Fast guy to find someone for someone to understand and most of the Girls on Here In my Area Dont want anything serious. I waisted my time. And money just for a Girl to Fling with me for one Day. And act like im nouthing the next Day. Im gonna say this now If your a Young adult/Mid its gonna probably Be very Hard to find Someone. Witch i think the Reason behimd it is that most of These Girls are letting the Guy Kind Die off and. They only want to Date other Girls idk how many Times a Girl said. While on a Date do i support lgbt over amd over and over amd everytime a Girl joins my dating groups in my city there looking for anther girl anyways.
