Massive bait and switch
September 4, 2020

Don't know what else to call it but they have a couple of things that are really frustrating.

One is that they have this thing where they won't let you contact somebody that is more than about 15 ish years older or younger than you. That's not based on a user's preferences, that's just their own judgement on what's ok. So if two people would love to meet up, have their preferences set right... still not gonna happen.

If they want to be prudes fine, I'm sure many younger women probably like being able to avoid us older pervs... But here's the thing, they don't hold back on showing those other profiles. See somebody you like, click on it, and "sorry they only accept emails from certain people" Why the $&#% do you show me profiles you won't let me contact? HUGE time waster. Over time it gets even worse, their algorithms learn your preferences by what you click so if you like younger or older you will start to see more and more of them... eventually you hardly see anybody you actually can contact.

Another smaller thing is if you Google something like "can I search for people in the Philippines on pof.com, their add pops up saying yes, come see all the people we have in the Philippians... But go to the search function and they don't even have the country listed.

I just got married
September 4, 2020

I used this app back in August 2016, I was just thinking because I'm watching what to watch in Netflix and I saw a movie about a girl who wants to sue a dating app, and I forgot to ever thank you this app, who made me meet my husband, was the only person I met and date with the app, I met him in person an August 28, and 4 years later we got married an August 28, we quickly deleted the app, because we knew we didn't want to keep talking to other people, so I barely used it, I didn't pay for a premium membership, I know he used it a little longer than me, and he dated other girls, and he did even pay a premium membership, but from my side I just want to thank this app, to lead me to him, I'm happily married, IDK if it was luck or the app, but I really want to thank for lead me to this wonderful man, I want to let people know that no love is easy, there has been many hard times, many times we were about to break up, but we work through it, and here we are today, everything is about boundaries and the willingness to make things work, and If you are in this app, just trying to find someone to screw just talk straight, so not play with peoples fellings.

Plenty of BS
August 31, 2020

This app is very misleading. Too many Catfish and fake profiles to the fact that celebrity pics and for some reason they don't care to investigate these frauds. If I said I want to have kids then why am Im being matched with women who doesn't want kids? If don't want to date older women why in the hell are they matching me with older women? If I'm into fitness why the $#*! am I being matched with out of shape woman? Do you see the insanity here?. Overall I wanna see this joke of a dating site shut down. All the nice looking women on here seem bitter. They don't want men, but when a gentleman sends you a message they act like they're too good respond. Do us all a favor and shut this $#*! down.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
August 30, 2020

I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT A SPECIFIC PERSON ON HERE WHO GOES BY TAZZ. HE APPEARS ON HERE IN A UNIFORM
THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN IN A VERY WELL-KNOWN HOSPITAL. AND WHAT'S BAD ABOUT IT IS THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN WITH MY CAMERA. SO I DEFINITELY REMEMBER WHERE THOSE PICTURES WERE TAKEN. HE IS SAYING THAT HE WANTS TO GET MARRIED AND HE'S ALREADY MARRIED. A COPY OF THE SITE WAS SENT TO ME BYE A FEMALE THAT I FOUND OUT HE MET ON-LINE. WHICH IS ANOTHER SCARY STORY IN ITSELF. PLEASE KNOW THAT HE IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR HE SEEKS WOMEN WHO GO TO CHURCH AND WE'LL TELL YOU WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO HEAR IN ORDER TO GET WHAT HE WANTS. HIS MOTHER JUST RECENTLY PASSED SO HE MAY PLAY THAT SYMPATHY ROLE. HE SAYS HE'S ALL ALONE HE'S THE VICTIM BUT WATCH OUT BECAUSE VERDELL WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE WINGS. AND BE CAREFUL HE IS STILL PAYING CHILD SUPPORT FOR SEVERAL CHILDREN. AND IT IS SAID THAT HE JUST RECENTLY GOT ONE FROM SOMEONE AT THIS VERY POPULAR HOSPITAL. ALWAYS THE VICTIM. I GIVE THIS REVIEW IN ORDER FOR THE LADIES TO BEWARE OF THE POSSIBILITIES THAT NOT EVERYONE ON HERE IS LOOKING FOR WHAT THEY SAY. AND PLENTY OF FISH JEFF ONLY HAS ONE ON THERE WHO IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR AND DOES NOT CARE WHO HE HURTS OR USES JUST AS LONG AS HE'S ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF HIS BASEBALL TEAM OF CHILDREN AND WHATEVER FEMALES HE PICKS UP. HE WILL ALWAYS ASK IF YOU HAVE EXTRA DOLLARS OR HE MAY HAVE TO OVERDRAFT IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF SOME THINGS. SO LADIES BEWARE OF

I haven't used this site in a decade. At first I figured the notifications were from people who were able to see my hidden profile. Then the msg started blowing up in my email inbox. Now as I try to purge the suspious activity and close the account completely it wants to do a 2 step verification with a number that's even not mine! Customer service is only by email and they are slow getting back to you.

I found the love of my life on here, after 2+ years of being on this site with many, many dates that turned out to be duds. I was about to give up, however, it was so worth it! The funny thing is my boyfriend and I both lived in the same city and never knew about it, but thanks to POF, we found each other :)

This site doesn't work
August 20, 2020

I tried this site, used interesting pictures and a detailed profile and got no dates in an entire year. It's hard to even get responses and the few times I did they were very mean out of nowhere or they are scammers trying to take advantage of you. Only male models will get any sort of response on here. Dating sites are all about looks and not about personality at all. Sites like this discriminate against ugly men. If you have a weak jaw, are prematurely balding, aren't tall enough, bad eye area, etc. then forget about using this site. You won't get anywhere with it and it will hurt your self esteem. This site promotes discrimination and lookism as only certain men with attractive physical features will get any dates regardless of profile or personality.

Horrendous
August 19, 2020

Full of women who are maybe 3 out of 10 but the problem is they all think they are 10/10 and that is what causes their downfall. They all have huge chips on their shoulders too
You have short fat unattractive women with kids demanding a tall dark and handsome guy. Normally they demand more things such as you must live within a certain area and be over 6foot 2 too
It just made me laugh, can you imagine these women going out in a bar being this picky? They would be quite rightly ridiculed yet for some reason they think it's acceptable online

Most aren't even nice people either. Most of their profiles are full of whining, complaining and making demands I didn't see any nice friendly women telling you what they'd bring to a relationship. Just what they want and what they don't want
No wonder no men will go near them. Tid have to have rocks in your heads to mail. These

Website filled with fakes from stuck up fake princesses to prostitution, scammers seeking your personal information to take advantage of the weak minded and desperate individuals. Stray far from this miserable pit.

Too many fakes.
August 1, 2020

This site has A LOT of fakes. And when reported(a mechanism on the app allows you to report fakes and abusive content), POF DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. They also do nothing about the abusive users. Not worth the time. Stay away.

RACISTS WEB SITE
July 31, 2020

If you arent white and nude on there they allow the trolls to report you then the site blocks you, guys send sexual rape fantasy's in first messages but thats ok, right? Even when sent screen shots they dont care. I have screen shots of everything i violated nothing, yet my account is restricted? Because i refuse to reply to sexual first messages? These pigs falsely report you? And this is a tame first message, the ones about rape they wont even let me post and these are first messages from users, the same jobless losers that report you for not answering

Scammer site
July 27, 2020

Well so far most of the guys here have been just looking for sex. The one guy I decided to actually meet after great phone conversations for a couple weeks turned out was just looking for a submissive. WYH. And his pictures were from years ago, lets just say he had aged not that well. The second guy I met seemed to good to be true as well. After many conversations we finally met, had a nice night (he made me dinner). When I said well I should get going it's late, he got upset and said "hey we're both adults here stay the night" again figured I was just on this site to find a sex toy. I said not who I am, we just met I'll talk to you Tomorrow, thank you for a lovely evening. Never heard from him again. The others have just been scammers using phony pictures and profiles. Their messages that you can barely read as illiteracy runs rampid on here are broken and off the wall. Fake. It's just sad site
