I've moved a few times for work and not knowing anyone in the cities I've moved to, this has been a helpful tool in meeting men. Sure, there are lots of things you can complain about - people who don't respond to a first message; people who don't bother to write much of a profile; sleazy people who may be fraudsters or scammers, etc. But if you're not in a rush to just meet whoever's profile pic might appeal and you take the time to ask some great questions, assess what people are looking for, and respect that people take the time to send a message, it's a good way to meet people.

I've dated men in every city I've lived in thanks to POF - and most of those relationships lasted a year or two. However, I didn't jump into bed with anyone nor did I jump into meeting men who I hadn't at least felt a spark in a few messages, then a phone call or two, then a meeting.

Beware the newly divorced or separated - sometimes they are in such a rush to put themselves out there that they haven't dealt with their "ex" issues. And avoid stories that just don't match or inconsistencies - those are red flags. But there are some great, sincere people - at least I've found it to be so. But if you're desperate to date and meet someone every weekend, that's not a recipe for success on POF. Patience, knowing what you want and waiting for it and having a positive attitude for what it is may offer some success (depending, of course, on what your idea of success is!)

First off I'm a non paying member. I received my fair share of "Meet Up" notifications. Obviously since I haven't paid I can't see who they are. I was able to identify several of the senders on my own. Everyone one I emailed did not email me back. So one of two things is happening. Either they accidentally swiped right as wanting to meet me or the site itself is sending out the notifications. I find that most of my notifications arrive during the wee hours of the morning which I thought was a bit odd. I'm done playing with the fish and have deleted my account.

Full of emotional guys not over their ex's. One guy I was seeing took me on holiday originally booked for him and his ex a week later he got back with her got with someone else he got me pregnant then went back to his ex then I met an alcoholic two ex alcoholics an ex heroin addict working and claiming benefits and an arrogant cry baby on benefits who is totally messed up! Don't bother it's a rat pit. I will NEVER use that site again!

Just treat this site for what it is -a joke

I would sum it up, very average women who are very picky

I did speak to a few but they had the personality of a snail and I only got one word answers, not very intelligent at all. Another one told me she had hundreds of messages and had been on loads of dates but no joy (the women must see it like a conveyor belt of men and they wont rest until they find their perfect man) so you already competing against thousands of men,

A lot of the women use text speak and swear in their profiles, not the type you really can see anything long term with. When you get a message back from someone who is 32 that's says "I am good wbu wuu2?" then you know its a sewer

It did make me smile, I was on it a few years ago 2012 and It didn't take me long to see old faces with the exact same pictures! I had to chuckle when one overweight woman who was 5'4 said in her headline Only guys 6'2 or over. The entitlement/pickiness is laughable and no way would they dare have the brass neck to act like such a diva off the computer when they would get ignored by 99.99 of the guys

Oh if you do join get ready for a ton of meet me from fake profiles who only want you to click on some dodgy adult site

To sum up
Too many thick women, too many picky women, too many illiterate women, too many women with issues and too many women who are social misfits. Apart from that I higly recommend

I hope this is useful! My most significant experiences are that I met a nice bi-girl who turn out not so covertly hostile nor could she ever talk about 'us' AT ALL!. She is a psychological counselor. I also met a total dud. Most everyone said they wanted a real & honest man, AND they were themselves game players, always with demands, expectations & drama. The holy cow of dating sites is women members (real or not). (On PoF) If you're not politically correct, nor suck it up & nor let women get by with (emotional) 'murder' & be 'energy vampires', you are hindered in your search options & can only see women who are a "few pounds overweight" (FAT), nor can you ever search for those 15 years or more younger than you. It's a game that's stacked up against you here & in every aspect of life (in the USA). And with biometrics (which they sell for mega-bucks) they know ALL sorts of UNGODLY things about you that you can't even imagine. Think they, facebook or whoever wouldn't sell your biometrics info to anybody like the NSA (National Security Administration), the CIA, Homeland Security. Just typing these words (or speaking them on the phone) means you are under surveillance & the worlds nations know that, but you don't? If you get happily married or in a relationship, dating sites go out of (big) business/collapse. Help America stay strong & stay single & unattached. World peace & planetary survival depends on it. Btw, in a flaming war, she always wins, & you always lose! It's all about economics & equality, just more equality for some that are special than others, like you dude. Get use to it.

I just found out from my husband on sept 2nd that he has been talking with a girl on your pof site. They met 3 times in a parking lot. He got gonorrhea from her. Our marriage may not be strong enough to get past this but I wanted to let others know that there is a girl out there on your website spreading this. Her username starts or has Rebecca or becca in it. She is from Aurora, Co. And drives a older blazer or Ford Explorer. My husband deleted his acct and said they never swapped numbers. He could not remember her username unless he don't want to say. My husbands username is 1guy1978. I tryed reopening his acct or making another acct but no luck finding her to report it. I believe he was using a yahoo email. Just don't want this spreading!

I bought a month subscription, it automatically enrolls you in monthly auto pay. After a month I got an email stating that $19.99 was taken from my account, no problem right? Right away cancelled my auto-pay and called and asked for a refund as soon as the phone lines opened. Sarah in billing stated that there are only two physical people to talk to, and they are both in billing, so basically no customer service. I told her my situation and how I called and wrote two emails as soon as I saw the POF monthly charge, her response? Sorry, NO REFUNDS AT ALL. I stated that it was my fault but I called and emailed hours after the charge posted. Too bad, no refunds. I then asked to talk to her supervisor or somebody else, as previously written, no one else to talk to. And that was it, no refund, no one to ask about it. Sarah stated that I can email them but I would get the same NO REFUND response. I totally understand if I had asked for a refund a week or two into the cycle, but I emailed and called as soon as the charge was posted. This was a first for me. Sloppy business practice
