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.

The bad site pof only the have to much woman lie in hoe I don't recommend this for anyone serious about the relationship
Was expecting more from such a big brand, to be honest. In my opinion it is okay but nothing special. I personally prefer Mingle2day or Tinder. But trust me, I have seen worse than POF. At least this site is not scamming the sh## out of you.
I registered with this website and it was user friendly but you have to pay if you want to know whether they viewed your profile or message you sent. There is more to life than WOMEN. So dont waste your time.
Beware of the men on PODF who advertise as being single and looking for a long term relationship when they are not. I recently dates a man for a few weeks Huskyboy15 on his profile who I today found out has a long term girlfriend and is also on other dating sites proclaiming to be single. Compulsive liar who spent every waking hour of the day on WhatsApp... a clear warning sign to steer clear. Even with all the friends I have I could not be on WhatsApp from 6am to 10pm onwards 7 days a week. This happens quite a lot. I'm sure women do it to. If you are serious about finding a relationship I would suggest a reputable site which you would need to pay a subscription for. These 'free' dating sites are the worst for serial liars and guys who just want a quick rumble and dirty pics.
Within 10 mins of signing up to this site i was contacted by 2 scammers. Do not give your email to anyone even if they seem genuine.
Lots of people unwilling to write a profile or even have the decency to reply to messaging... that or you have people pretending they are looking for something real but not mature enough to admit they just want sex or a 10/10 in attractiveness...
I found my first boyfriend on this site! There are some creeps, but the more nice and cool people to chat with out-weight the weirdos and I was able to find so many people in my area. Even if your just playing or browsing, the sites worth a look.
Pof advertise free dating site but if you don't upgrade to pay for it then you are blocked from logging in. Pof forces a person to upgrade or you can't use the site.
I have never been on a dating site before I was actually quite nervous about it all, I am pleased to say that I have met the most amazing girl ever and recommend others to use pof! I have never been happier
Some really freaky people on here. Talking to one person who seemed nice. Then sent her another photo and she said it wasn't recent and told me not to insult her intelligence and not to lie to her
Then she called and asked about me and how long had been single and told her. After few minutes she told me I needed to get a life apparently I'd been talking about my ex for 20 minutes like it was War And Peace. She then told me to get a life and go and have fun. Get a life she said and stop going on about my ex lol Ranting on how I need to go **** girls. I thought she might be drunk or mentally unstable. Like one minute okay then next going crazy at me on the ever 1st call. Then she said sorry she'd like to get to know me. Woah no thanks. Scary just talking to her nevermind meeting
They DON'T allow you to choose the age range you are interested in when searching. They have their own minimum age, based on your own age, and won't allow you to search for anyone younger than that. Stupid site, I hope they will close down soon.
I have been using it for a few weeks and interacted with several members. In my opinion there is a better chance of meeting someone on Mingle2day or Twoo but I think compared to most other dating sites it is a good option to find someone real.
Maybe less than 1% of the women on here are truly attractive. The other 99% think they are and that's what causes the problem. You got females that if you saw in public you wouldn't go chat them up yet on POF they turn into thinking they're a hot commodity and start with an attitude. Below average women with profile headlines such as "You've found me" show the delusion they're suffering. Totally worthless cos if you're a man you're going to have to date down because the women on here think they're so hot they won't date someone the same as them. A woman who is a 3/10 on POF demands a 9/10 man. But take into account the unpleasant attitude and the demands the 3/10 becomes a 1/10 but men still message her.
Why does my sight not allow me to sign in. Was fine until last saturday night. I rejoin another site as though may be my computer playing up. It allowed me on there for approx 8 hours and then removed me.
Made to feel awful as they decided I was a man! Thanks! I feel great now, off to pastures new hopefully wont be wrong sex there
The females on here not only ignore you but block you often for some reason
Full of chavvy looking females or women so far up themselves it's unreal
I've seen friendlier Rottweilers than the so called single women on this site
Putrid bunch of Singletons. Easy to see why they can't get a man
Listen, when you have a site for free you can't be choosy. They are like craigslist in that they have not changed their user interface in year. Or even ever. But it works for them. Easy to search. Only issue is that you can only search +/- 14 years from your age. But again it's free! C'mon guys.
POF works but it takes some time. Look, is it great? If you send out lots of chat requests a few women will respond. I have been off and on this site for a few years and I have meet two women in person. Is the site great? In my opinion it is not, but I have seen worse. My advise: POF is okay and works uf you hang in there. I just think that prime dating sites like Mingle2day, Cupid, or Match doa better job. Bu that's just my opinion.
Some men pretend to be something they are not. They claim to be "gentlemen" and nice guys but after a while they show their true colors... drinking from morning til night, dating other girls behind your back and lying about everything. Wolf in sheep's clothing just to lure you in to get a piece of A** for as long as you allow them before moving on to their next victim. If your gut tells you they are not what they seem to be or to run YOU DO IT!
I signed up for a three month trial, and almost immediately things started going wrong. I would receive email alerts that a woman wanted to meet, but when I went to the website, they're nowhere to be found. I started several conversations, and they would disappear, while still receiving alerts that these women were still trying to chat with me. Customer service refuses to agknowalage or solve problems. I found an 800 number, called it, they put you on hold for about one minute and then hang up on you. I don't know what the solution is, but I'm sure it's not coming from POF, which by the way stands for Pile of Feices.
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.
