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.

I do anything for the ladies if anyone. Nesds help doing something at menardas. I do back rubs and lawn care i ya gavw av
Most of the men on here are just looking for hookups and no real relationship. It's a horrible site. By the way Sai Brown is a married mix guy with kids. Don't contact him unless you want to be a side chick
There has to be a better way to find a woman than this, the women arent even that nice although they think they are. Most of them just pout or pull daft faces. Show tats and look very unfeminine. Most cuss in their profile too. A lot use txt speak which is an instant turn off. You wouldnt take any of these to meet your mom
I read a profile today that said dislikes ~ bad breath + body odor. What a ridiculous thing to put. As if anyone likes those things
I am thinking even the most average looking woman gets 100 of messages which is why they all act like princesses.
Can you imagine if you ever found anyone nice and pleasant enough to go on a date with? She would have another 80 dates lined up
Would love to see men stopping dating these women and see them make an effort instead of sitting on their laptops being rude and diva like
Pretty much the worse dating site i ever tried. Alot of the guys that contacted me were either in prison, living with their "baby mama" had a girlfriend or were just looking for a hook up. As a single mother, working with a job and a place of my own i signed up for pof searching for a mate who shares my same interests in life and works hard and takes lifes seriously. I was highly surpised as well as dissapointed in the options that seem to be on pof. Alot of the men had no jobs but lied and said they did. If you do not reply back to messages alot of the guys will continue to bombard you with messages. Had many explicit messages sent to me out of nowhere. Alot of guys lying about their age by 10 years plus. Had a guy with extremely old pics of him when he was in shape on the site, when we video messaged he was about 400 pounds. Ive had people message me and when i respond they give me one word answers. I have pretty much gave up on dating because of this site. Unless your looking for a quick late night hook up with someones boyfriend or a random horny guy dont sign up for pof.As a african American woman in her late 20s dont search pof unless your seeking guys that are aspiring rappers, ex cons or the guys with millions of tattoos and a bunch of fake jewelry with terrible headlines such as " im a real one" or im that ni&&a standing in front of a fancy car that does not belong to them. There are also pimps on this site heavily and i have even been contacted by other females asking me do i "Want to join her and her boyfriends "team". Ive given my number to a few people and they will kind of just disappear after a few days of calling or texting then contact me a month later, i had to change my number because of it. I hate to go on a rant but like i said dont use this site unless you like netflix and chill or your not serious about dating.
Was on the site back in 2008 which quite new and met someone decent who was with a for a few years and the women were nothing like they are today
Now in 2017 its gone to the dogs and seems to be totally saturated with people
Tried to talk to a few people but only got one words replies and very little effort. Most of the women cant even be bothered to fill their profile in or go the other whole way and put a list of 20 things a man must be for you to contact them
You can put them into categories none of them good
Social misfits/teachers/illiterate loners/drama queens/attention seeking/fake profiles who want your email/fatties/rude nasty women
The idea of this POF is to get men to want to message you, but reading most of the profiles they dont care and just come across as a bunch of men haters who have been hurt in the past and seem intent on getting their own back on men now.
Oh and everyone seems to go the gym and do travelling, skiing and a ton of the women have the childish filter of a rabbit with ears.
They will delete your profile for any number of 10 reasons without giving any warnings. If you accidently type a word like "sex" in a initial email message to another person on the site. You will be deleted and never given a reason or warning. Recently, I was viewing a womans profile and she listed 7 reasons that status terms really mean sex. E.g.(Hangout partner=Sex and buying dinner, or Serious relationship=Sex and no buying dinners) and so I wrote this woman and mentioned her profile comments on sex and statuses. The next morning my profile is completely removed from POF... is a rude and nazi type controling company with only intetest in their money whore operations. No sensitivity for peoples feelings. They hurt not only the person that violates their over bearing rules, but they hurt the woman I emailed. I'm sure she wanted to message me back, but can not do... I'm deleted and again... you are never sent a reason or a warning. POF seems like a Canadian scam operation. Imagine people who pay a yearly subscription to them... are they deleted as readily as well. Total loss of their purchase?! POF claims to be a respectable company. That is furest from the truth. I only hope Karma gets this Marcus guy soon, so I can revel in his well deserved misery.
Marcus remember money whores are not allowed in heaven. Guess where you will be when you die? LOSER!
I get emails all the time from pof saying when i get likes or when somebody message me... but one day i was log off of and i forgot my password it gives you the option to get your password back but i never received any help when i look for the forgot password email its no where to be found but i still get emails about me missing messages wth all i need is to make a new password
I found the love of my life right here on POF. He had just recently started on POF himself when I got on. We both had been single for years. I pretty much just gave up there for a while and so did he. We both had bad relationships in the past in just kinda figured that everyone we would ever meet would just be out to hurt us. But there comes a time when you need to try again no matter what you might get. I was talking to a few other guys on here but he was the only one I felt comfortable enough to give my number to. A couple months later, I realized that my brother in law new him. And that's a big part in why I gave him a chance. It was pretty much love at first sight. We have been together for over a year now and unbelievably giddy the majority of the time. I love him so much that it makes me wonder if I actually loved anyone in my past relationships. I have never cared for anyone so much. And he says he feels the same. I can tell that that is true because I can feel it. I can feel the love that he has for me just radiating out of him. It almost makes me cry because im 36 and he's 42 and I wish that we could have met sooner but better late than never. Also, if you are in or have been a bad relationship it only makes you appreciate the right one more. Im not saying that everyone on here is going to find the right person on here but, its very possible. I believe I did. POF introduced us, the fact the he knew someone I knew brought us together, and God made it all possible. Good luck to you all.
It looks like the dregs of society have assembled on POF. Most are broken women, overweight, single mums, unemployed or lowly paid jobs and with huge psychological issues thinking they are superior to you and with some utopian view of themselves. Narcissisim, abruptness and rudeness is on another level. They seem to demand a tall, mega-rich Brad Pitt lookalike on a dating site. As if a guy like that would need a dating site. In return they offer unflattering silly poutish pictures of themselves covered in tatoos like you're watching the Rocky Horror show with a description (if they've bothered) littered with typos.
You'll find very few well educated, professional women on there.
Originally I had been on pof on and off for about a year. Kept getting messages from people who didn't know how to have a real conversation or were just looking for sex and to disrespect women. I was literally about to give up and delete the app again When finally I found him. Although the site itself didn't have much to do with us connecting but that's how we met and for that I am grateful. I have literally found "the man of my dreams" which I never even knew existed. In my case I got lucky iv never been in a good healthy relationship and now I am. This person has blessed my life in so many ways.we just celebrated 6 months together. Ya I know that's not very long compared to other couples much less saying that I found the love of my life after such a short time, especially considering we met on a dating app. But it's true, when you know, you know. Now we have plans to move in together after I finish college within the next 2-3 months and start our lives together. I couldn't be happier. So thanks to pof I found the person I'm meant to be with.
So. Basically i was trying this app paying a month and i was ending deleting my profile just half way to the month.
All the profiles was "generated" by machine, all fakes, no even 1 real. All your matches. Just to keep you wondering and paying for a scam basically.
Stay away and donate that money to charity or something.
This is just another Dating SCAM.
WOW WOW WOW
I messaged quite a few women and got 0 replies. I even got blocked by 3 of them. What was my crime you ask? I sent them a message asking how they were & if they were having a good day, and for that they blocked me. Unbelievable cheek. I am no brad pitt but I am not Shrek either so I can only think there must be men throwing themselves at the women left right & center for them to act so stuck up and nasty
Not sure if women are all like this these days or just on POF altough I would think they are worse on paid sites. These women cant work out why they are still single? Maybe not block decent guys who ask how they are
I guess the same women will be on here in 2 years still looking for mr 100% perfect, The sad lot of them been watching too much tv
People on here only looking for casual sex no one actually wants to go on a date they expect you to deliver yourself to there house like a sexual takeaway... dating site they should be prosecuted under the trade descriptions act
It would be a great dating site. Has too many profile with 5 years pictures & same spelling errors.
Matching" way off. The Want nothis serious - no comment. MISS LEADING "
People don't really care to post a decent current pictures of themselves or it's fake. Otherwise the site doesn't operate details verification before posting profile.
Princess this Diva that - Angel, babe etc just some of the usernames I see used on here by the women. An extremely high opinion of themselves
1st thing I notice is how the women's profile are abrupt and say such things ''if I don't reply once don't keep messaging me ' and '' if i don't reply youre not my type' this just tells me TOO MANY MEN ON HERE chasing bang average women. If it was 50% men 50% women they wouldn't act like that. More like 90% men and 10%
Pof where
Women with no job or low paid job want man with a decent job-
Women who are 5'1 tall demand a man who must be 6 foot at least -
Bang average women want a hot looking model-
Non women drivers demand man with car -
Etc etc. Just totally silly demands that if you were in a bar you wouldn't dare
These women must get hundreds of messages a day despite being rude in the profiles and making more demands than Jennifer Lopez
Pof headlines. I'm back = been on here ages and too picky yet still not worked out what I'm doing wrong
Seeking genuine guy = must be hot
Cheats and liars need nor apply = stupidly keep picking bad guys then not learning their lessons and going back to bad guys
Make me laugh = must be hot
Seeking partner in crime = must be hot
Where are all the good guys= must be hot
You get the drift. As some hot 6foot guy with a 6 pack would message some of these 'ladies'
And finally what's with all the tattoo photos of your whole leg covered or arm inked up? Nearly as bad as pics of the pets
I was able to talk freely with other single women. However, over time this website has refused communications unless I purchase an ongoing subscription. At one time the host's of this website's intentions were whole and positive. Now it has become a scheme as all the others.
So, I will try not to have an overwhelmingly negative review, but this was my experience.
I joined for a day. While some of the men were okay and respectful a lot of them were very aggressive and almost begging for sex or asking mee to come to their homes. All ot took was me responding to their inbox message once I would say hi back then that opened the door for all kind of bs. Of course, as I said before they weren't all bad. Some were nice and kind and even encouraging. I think this site is more for someone who wants a to hookup. Yes, it's a dating site but a lot of guys make it clear they are there for sex. I can't say I was surprised though.
How on earth can this site average 3 stars?
From what i can see it's full of
Overweight women
Single mums who put mum down as a job. Can you imagine if a guy put no job?
Women with issues
Men haters
Immature childish women
Rude women
Women that think they're hot when they're nothing of the sort
Very very picky women. Want more than they're offering
Doesn't take genius to work out probably 30x more men that women on here so that makes the women worse
All you people moaning your account disappeared should be grateful. It's a website full of dysfunctionally challenged rude obnoxious stuck up rude unpleasant attention seekers
One final thing lots of women keep saying they're back again. How hard can it be to find a decent guy when they must get 100s messages a day no matter what they look like and unpleasant they are
This isn't the way to meet a decent woman
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.
