Plenty of FishReviews 2,006

Everytime I browse on POF its the same tired old women with the same photos, month after month, year after year. So you know their photos are out of date. They love to bleat "where are all the decent genuine men?" but that's just bs
They will have received plenty of mail from genuine decent men but they want someone who is ridiculously good looking but they darent put that. They want someone who is stunning on the eye regardless of the fact they are extremely ordinary or even worse

Online dating sends women deluded. A women who is 2/10 becomes adamant they won't settle for anything less than a 9/10 male. And they wonder why they can't get a man. It's totally irrational

And don't get me started on some of the bios they are just rants normally a 20 point checklist that you must adhere to. Must love dogs, must love roadtrips despite the fact they don't drive, must be over 6 foot. Give me a break

This really is the site of the desperate and unpleasant.

The 1st thing I noticed is ALL the women on POF regard themselves as princesses regardless of how old, overweight and rude they are.

I'm 30 and it kept showing me women in their 40s with leather skin, tattoos and more blubber than a whale but the thing that stood out most was how demanding and rude they were in their profile bio. They didnt realise they ain't 20 anymore and they can't be picky and choosy at their age.

So you have unattractive overweight rude women with no social skills and a real attitude problem

I think I'll give this a miss

I took advantage of their 3 month package deal and only used it for 3 weeks. It was not even worth my time. As you use the site day after day you will notice how different women will message you the same exact responses. You then began to notice something is wrong and you are being jerked off by the company. If you're bored and don't mind scammer / robot love then feel free and spend your cash. Otherwise if you are serious and seeking real love, by pass this site. I give this site
-3 stars

You can tell straight away from the profile of the women that they get inundated with messages from men
They complain they're sick of men sending them 10 messages and not getting the message they're not interested and they also seem to whine alot about d1ck pics they get.
First I have no idea why a man would want to send 10 messages to a woman if she didn't reply to the 1st one and secondly what kind of man sends those d1ck pics? But then you look at their profiles and they call themselves hotbabe69 etc or have photos half naked so really what you expect to get?

Without wishing to be rude the women should be grateful they are getting any messages judging by the attitude they have on the profile. Rude aggressive and unpleasant, why would I even want to message them? Then you have the ones that can't even be bothered to fill the the section about me out and put just ask. Lazy. You ain't going to find the sort of woman you would take home to your parents on here

I was online dating about 10 years ago and was actually okay as not many people were on it but now its useless for men. Every woman wants a white knight to rescue her regardless how old or out of shape she is and it seems to me there must be 300 men for every woman and that's probably being conservative. So if you're a decent guy you'll get ignored anyway due to the sheer numbers of messages the women get

Lots of the profiles I viewed had the woman longest relationship at under a year. That's hardly inspiring confidence either when they're in their late 30s. Do they have issues making them undateable or have they been riding the c*ck carousel for years and finally want to settle down now their looks are going?

From what I've seen the women are not attractive pleasant or sociable enough to demand what they are looking for. They will be still be on here in 20 years. They are getting hundreds of messages and still being uber picky crying 'where are all the decent men?" Its obvious that unless you are a Male model who is 6'5 tall and drives a Porsche then you will be ignored by the women. That would be understandable if they looked like they were cheerleaders of the Dallas cowboys but most look more like the cows

Update from last reveiw, I really find pof.com to be a rip off. I have improved my profile repeatedly to no avail. And the woman that reach out to me are very average looking, a few scary bad AND the one that look good are FWB types. Besides the ones that are even remotely attractive are in japip, usa, so far that to imagine a chance is as remote as jumping to moon. Truly a total joke from my two month experience. Don't bother maybe other websites are better -match? I bet not. I already upped for eharmony and now this pretty dissapointing.

As a paid upgraded member

As a paid upgraded member, the benefits POF claims I get don't exist. The only thing it empowers me to do is monitor or stalk other members. Support is non existant. I have not received a response to 3 general inquires I requested 4 weeks ago... Site is full of average, mediocre to less than average people, attitude and diva's. Fake profiles and scammers. The popularity meter in itself is a scam provided by POF to generate revenue for themselves. The matching algorithms are laughable: my matches are WAY out of my criteria.

I was going to join But after reading the pathetic accounts from folk I cannot afford to waste money!
Its all the same bogus men and women. People who have seemingly been around for ages. So they are not getting my monies after all.
Yes i am lonely and an older lady wanting to find a soul mate!
Why are there not decent sites offering decent rates plus real people?
Its all hinges on your feelings and if you believe. I dot think it happens its a sham..

Totally ridiculous website if you're a man. These women ought to date themselves as no man on POF is good enough for them

Sent a dozen messages to women I actally found attractive. I asked how they were etc etc. All looked and ignored me.

So then thought I'd see how bad this was. So found 2 dozen average looking females sent them the same pleasant message
Again all of them looked at my profile and ignored me again. What a joke

WALOFS. Even the dogs on here are picky. As if I'll be ignored by this lot. Talk about freaking deluded ignorant woman
In the outside world these women wouldn't dare have the cheek to ignore me yet online they think they are amazing

They should be grateful I sent them a message. This shows me 2 things. There's too many desperate men on here chasing after too few women and 2/ the women on the site are ignorant and out of touch with reality. Absolutely rancid women all wanting Channing Tatum. I hope the internet breaks

To any guys reading this don't waste your time messaging on here. Much better looking nicer people and less ignorant women to be met offline

Plain and in most cases unattractive women with issues and baggage can't get a guy in real world. There is a reason they are on a dating site, normally have issues, anger issues, attitude problems, lack of intelligence, looks and class etc etc. Most however dont seem to be lacking for food looking at their photos

So they join POF, suddenly think they are stunning babes and develop a complex. Expect to be messaged by male models. Get angry when said male models don't materialize but still refuse to compromise on standards so turn down every guy who messages them as they aren't Mr Perfect. Years pass no man can meet the criteria and they get old and have to buy a cat for company

Doesn't enter the head that if they were so great in first place they wouldn't need to be online to get a guy

I sent a message to 1 women, she replied I am not interested you fat b*stard. Not only I am not fat I am 76kg! But how can you speak to another person like that? You wouldnt say that to someone in real life
The next profile said no mingers, which is slang for ugly. This was from a women in late 30s who was very average at best. How can she expect any decent men when that is her headline?
It probably gets even worse but I had had enough and deleted my account

C

This should be called plenty of attitude not plenty of fish as every female profile I looked at they had entitlement attitude and ridiculous demands

Let's be honest there's some reason they're single, they have issues or their job ruled their life and now they're panicking they'll be single forever or they have commitment problems or they are too independent or they lack the social skills to talk in the real world, or they're overweight or just not attractive
If they were a decent catch a decent woman they wouldn't be on pof in the first place they'd had been snapped up years ago. I laugh when I see some 38 year old not realizing she doesn't have the same market value as when she was 23 but still acts like she's a great catch. She peaked in 2003 but hasnt realized it she's still demanding like she's a hottie

This is basically full of women who are misfits, unwanted and damaged. The idea they can be so demanding when it comes to their ideal man is truly hilarious

Agree with all that's said below

The standard on this site is shocking. I did speak to one women and she told me she literally gets hundreds of messages a day from men begging for dates and sending things like poetry. It was like getting blood out of a stone. They all seem to lack social skills. If they are unable to converse on mail how bad would they be in real life?

Another one said she was tired of getting messages from ugly men. When I told her she was no oil painting herself she blocked me and I'm guessing reported me as my account got closed. Happy days!

Full of entitled divas and desperate men pandering to them. AVOID

This has to be the WORST place for men to find someone
2 reasons
The women on there are dreadfully ordinary yet think they are amazing and 2)
There must be 5000 men for every 1 woman

It took me a week to realise this but then straight away closed my account. I'm not chasing after substandard women who judging by their profiles are unattractive inside and out. As if you can be plain as hell yet have the cheek to make the demands they do

I agree with other posters on here. If It wasn't for the internet nobody would go near these women. They might think they are supermodels but trust me they are bottom of the barrel

If you are an unattractive picky independent female with tattoos and a huge chip on your shoulder you will love this site lol

POF is loaded with low quality women. I would not give any of these women the time of day if I were to meet them on the street. Yet in spite of their poor condition and quality, due to their extreme numbers advantage, they expect you to be Prince Charming. Guys, it's high time we get off the couch and ditch these types of sites! If you're coming up empty handed it's not your fault.
I can not count how many times I've been stood up at the last hour before we were supposed to meet... and those who send the cancellation text are the ones who have a small shred of decency. Many don't even show up, or bother to let you know anything.
Then you hear the same stuff from the women. They say men only want one thing, sex! What they don't realize is that if they do catch someone out of their league, that catch is temporary and unrealistic. A great looking guy does not want to be seen in public with some fat out of shape nasty woman. If a guy does go out with an average looking woman who lured him with a fake picture like pof is famous for, then he will try to have sex with her. The girl thinks the guy likes her so she puts out. The guy ditches her. The cycle continues.
Online dating is a waste but pof is the bottom of the barrel and the worst of the worst!

Basically this is full of ordinary women who would struggle to get a date in the real world so they join this pof lark and boom they start to think they are a diva with all the attention they get.
I think it must like a kid at Christmas for them and they revel in the attention they've never had and start believing they're an actual catch

You only have to see how many of them in their late 30s have put their longest relationship is under a year that's a huge red flag. They either got issues or nobody offline wants them. A lot of them brag how independent they are. That too says A lot why they are single. There's a reason no man wants them

Definitely much better females in the real world. Ain't worth the aggravation of signing up to chase after women you wouldn't give a 2nd glance at if you saw in a bar

Guys, don't waste your time with these mostly ugly "princesses" who think they are Goddesses. They are looking for a superman offering 200 lbs of fat and IQ about 60-70 in return. If you want to find a true lady, try sites with Eastern European girls -
You will see that these girls are hot, smart, feminine. They are excelent wives and mothes. They come from different culture, more family-oriented. And yet, they are educated and not spoiled. I think this is the kind of ladies that most of our men deserve!

I sent about a dozen messages. They all got looked at and ignored me. I asked they were and what they were upto. Not one had the decency to reply. I'm not freaking Shrek. No point wasting my time

I did see this profile before I logged out which made me laugh
She was below 5 foot so basically a midget and had a menial job in a care home and and she couldn't spell

The best bit of the profile

Looking for my genuine guy
Blue eyes are my 100% dream but if your (sic) personality is 10/10 then eye colour doesn't matter ( how gracious of her)
Personalty (sic)
Tanned
Must have hair
A few tats
Nice teeth
Looks after themselves

This from a 4 foot munchkin who has the brain capacity of a turnip and is quite happy to toss a guy aside if his eyes aren't the right colour.

Can you imagine this behavior in the real world? No I'm sorry I'm not interested as you don't have the right colour eyes.

Huge disparity on plenty of fish between perception and reality
Reality is the women on there are either low grade 2s/3s or way past the best too old
They however perceive they are amazing and a great catch and therefore have unrealistic expectations and demands. Online dating has created a whole generation of women who offer very little but think they deserve a stunning looking fella. Absolutely insane

I will add One woman on her headline said she is tired of men offering to pay her bills. If that is true the desperate men should hang the heads in shame
