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.

This site is a disgrace, i have been thrown off twice because the same woman who pestered me with messages after i ignored her and said no politely to her she has reported me and therefore POF have not reviewed the messages sent to me from her after she continued to harass me, i get thrown off because i am a male. I took note of her username and see she still on there. I wouldn't use this site due to how males are treated differently to women. I asked POF to review the messages between us and they refuse to comment. Shows you what a poor website it really is. I wouldn't recommend this site at all.
This is one of the worst dating websites of all time. There is no logic or reason on what happens in here. Your profile can be created, entered, and then it disappears. I have no idea what goes on. I do know the creator makes tons of money from this "free site", but it never worked for me. Others who have used it told me they got terrible responses, or had their profile deleted for no reason. Overall it is a huge gamble. Go somewhere else and save yourself lots of aggravation and time.
I had an account for two days. Was speaking with 3 women regularily, no inappropriate messages, not married, no inappropriate photos, but my profile was deleted with no explanation and I could not create a new account. $#*! 'em I guess. Glad I decided to wait on a plan.
$#*!nk joke of a website,,, requested 22 times plus to drop my name... they never did... requested that that remove me,,, someone set me up... but do they listen... NO...
Yes it's a free site and you get what you get for free these guys say what they want to say to wheel you in so to speak,, there's certain kind of ladies on this site looking for a broke $#*! sugar daddy or
Pretending to be a sugar daddy and guys who only still want to play the field there are so many disease don't have time for these games so beware of all the sweet words about being a gentleman looking for good ladies blah blah blah its all about lie not saying there's any decent guys on the site but the bad make the good look bad
Most people on the site Women are nice, but who or whom adminsters the site is less than desirable, aragant, non-resposive, will boot you after 3 or so conversations, whether plesant or not. I have couple friends converse with, have them on facebook, have conversation with them they boot you 3 days. If find better one let me know, match pretty good. Administraors on POF needs be more pleasant and/or cooperative. Hope they heard me.
This site is full of desperate men, men looking for something they'll never get. Its like a dog chasing a car, if the dog ever caught the car he wouldnt know what the hell to do with it! Come down off your throan and look for normal.
Im an independent single mother, i have a full time job, a 2017 car and pay my own bills! You self centered men are so wrapped up in yourselves you dont see the good women because we are real, you pigs want big boobs, tall and skinny, long blonde hair, flawless skin, but dumbasses thats a hooker on your street corner...
This is why women hate men, your all so judgmental and SO needy... come back to reality and check yourseld maybe, just maybe you will have more than your hand as a girlfriend.
This site will put you off women for life
There's no marriage material on here in fact I struggled to find any that were gf material
Lots of thick people working menial jobs who can't even be bothered to fill their profile in and put ask.
They're all deluded and all think they're amazing even when they're below average looking. Rude, unpleasant nasty picky women with pouting photos demanding that you READ MY PROFILE BEFORE EVEN THINK OF MESSAGING ME. Absolutely toxic the lot of them.
If you do find anyone decent be prepared to be ignored. I spent 7 days on here and got tired of women wanting someone with tattoos who is tall dark and handsome. What they offering in return?
Am attitude average looks and horrible personality and a shopping list of demands. I'll pass thanks
Lots of these women claim to be 30 but look way way older photos from 2012 aren't exactly a good sign. They seem to like to put pics of cakes animals and other such things too which makes no sense. Lots of desperate women in their 30s being Uber picky not realising their best days behind them yet refusing to change their poisonous attitude which caused them to be single in the first place. Most are very bitter and seem not to like men much. Not a good start for going on a dating site
Huge sense of entitlement on this site by bang average women. They've watched too many TV shows. Only difference is on the TV shows the women are good looking. It's like POF have arranged for all the weirdo oddballs with pouting faces to meet in one site and demand a guy that's out their league. Look how many 35 year old women on here longest relationship is 1 year and ask yourself why?
Drama queens, game players, immature, the stupid,. The lazy, and the entitled reside here.
Don't give them the satisfaction of ignoring you. Don't message them in the first place. The female dregs of society on here
I only had POF for two weeks. Got messages from guys but kept myself alert for weirdos. Not going to lie I was real hesitant making a POF because you never know who your meeting online. One dude demanded me to meet him at the park and said I never meet a $#*! like him smh avoided him like the plague and blocked him.
But surpringly after that talked to a guy for two months beforeing meeting him and he was who he said he was. We instainly fell in love which is super rare. 7 months later were together and going strong. I never thought I meet such a great guy especially online. Love you Jellybean and 7 months to us many more to come. When I gave up on love you appeared in my life extremely blessed.
POF is what you make it
I got on it a year ago when I went thru a break up. Thought I found a nice guy, not. It was a scammer trying to get money. Delete my profile, get back with my partner who had made a profile when he found out I had and told me he had deleted his profile when we got back together... This was not the case, We broke up again "because of my trust issues" while looking recently I found his updated profile, along with many other married ppl I know claiming to be single or divorced. It seems my issues had foundation... Never using this site!
Every time I sign up I get kicked out what a crock of s*** this is I highly recommend not joining this date site it's the worst nightmare I've ever been through I've only actually been on it maybe a month before it kicks me off most of the time within 10 minutes of signing on boom I'm kicked off immediately what a piece of s*** this site is
Hi guys dont be fooled like I did. There's a chick on here stay away her names jeralee Scott from mandurah her user names his with some numbers. She used my profile agents me. All see wants is money it took 7 mouths too figure her out so don't believe anything she tells you its bull $#*!. Once she knows your broke she is back on here cleaning you out
Stay clear of all dating sites, I mean like its not hard enough, plus they steal your chance for the 1st nice awkward meets
I never posted nude pictures of myself or risque pictures of myself yet every man that contacted me stating that they wanted a relationship or they were looking for something permanent we exchanged numbers and all they can talk about is how big is your $#*! what do you look like with no clothes on send me pictures it floors me that the men that I have given my number to send so many $#*! pictures would you show your $#*! to someone in a public place no you wouldn't why do you think that it's okay to send somebody a picture of your ill-equipped penis on someone's phone. This website has been a waste of time I have not met one decent man on this site not one I would tell women that if you're looking for trash look on POF it's perfect for trash but if you're looking for something to hold on to as far as a future you're looking in the wrong spot. You're better off bumping into somebody on the street Aura Club or better yet a bar
This site is full of time wasters, who let you down and lie to you. What do you expect on a free site? People just looking to waste your time or guys just looking for sex! If your looking for a more genuine site, I would personally try a pay site like match. You pay peanuts... you get monkeys! Avoid!
Only on POF will you find overweight, unemployed, broke, unsuccessful, low life females who usually have a bunch of kids by various men, no car, no job, always living with someone or off someone, and has a long list of demands. POF is a JOKE. If you're looking for "wife material" then don't get your hopes up on POF. Nothing but ran through females who been smashed & passed all their life looking for a SIMP to "save" them and commit to them. Then you got the females who are looking for a date and free meal, yet can't cook to save their life. Or how about the escorts who post naked or half naked pics of themselves, yet talk about how they're "tired of guys just wanting sex"... yet don't have ANYTHING else to offer BESIDES sex. And let's not forget about the airhead females on POF who say they want a man to "get to know" them, yet can't even fill out a dating profile, and says "ask" on every line. Last but not least, the infamous low life females who are simply looking for a man to take care of them and pay their bills, raise another man's kids, and put up with their stubborn, difficult attitudes and smart mouths. I refuse to take any female seriously on POF. If you're looking for a hit and quit, go for it. But trying to find a trustworthy woman who isn't a cum dumpster or attention whore on there? Forget about it.
From what I can tell anyone can report your account for any reason. After a certain number of reports your account is deleted. It doesn't take long for a MTF transgender to accumulate a lot of hate / anti-trans traffic (I see enough of it every time I walk out in public), and my account was deleted in roughly two weeks.
The most frustrating part is the site keeps your profile to "count towards" it's total number of users that it boosts about, and can't actually be deleted because you can't log back into it. I've got an associates in programming, and while most of this is hunch based I don't think I'll be returning to their site any time soon despite having 3-4 people that were interested in me for me (whom I now cannot reply to).
I had made contacts on here, but had to delete and recreate my profile numerous times because of being unable to send messages. When you delete it assumes its because f the matches not the glitch in the site. Very frustrating I think they do it to force you to pay. NO THANKS and no such thing as contacting the site for trouble shooting.
MY ACCOUNT KEEPS GETTING DELETED AND I DEMAND TO KNOW WHY! These are real people here and I made real connections that are all gone now. There needs to be a better system in place as to what profiles can be deleted. This is not fair! I spend so much time making my profile just right to reflex the person that I am, and I have made connections with people that I couldn't get back. It was so upsetting and incredibly disheartening but I decided I'll dust it off and create another account. Then things were going great, I met someone I really liked. We had a real spark between us and spoke for ages. Then this account also got deleted and I lost him. This is not fair at all. This isn't right. It was an honest account. I didn't use any nudity or profanities. I had done nothing wrong at all. Yet it got deleted. Why?
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.
