I've had a profile for a few years now and use the site irregularly. In this time I've met one girl who was on the rebound from her boyfriend of many years who dumped her because he turned out to be gay, so she clearly just wanted to meet guys and mess around.
I've exchanged numbers with a number of other girls who never wanted to meet, so a complete waste of time.
I'd say because of the high volume of men even the mediocre girls can be very fussy with who they respond to.
If you have a distinctive look e. G fit into a sub-culture such as emo, rocker, goth or whatever, don't even expect girls of a similar look or background to respond to you as I've experienced. They can meet guys like that within their social circle and in actual fact are more likely to hook-up with "Jack the lad" types for something a bit different.
I think unless you put some serious time and effort into browsing and sending messages you get little out of it.
If you are simply using the site as a means of augmenting other firms of dating and meeting girls then just keep it as such.
Full of time wasters, single mothers and though I hate to say it a lot of damaged goods. Every girl I've spoke to has issues with ex boyfriends etc.
Plus a lot have ridiculous expectations when they have little to offer themselves.
I'm a university graduate with a decent enough job, intelligent, good chat, good looking enough, lots of interests and hobbies etc and yet get little results with the site.
So if you are looking for someone stick to meeting them when you go out.

Some of these guys are not willing to meet in a safe public place. One man immediately started asking me for sex, without even knowing my real true first name; & NOT wanting to meet me FIRST in person. Another guy requested that I immediately go to his house>& I have no clue at all what this jerk is truly like in person, & for real or in reality!>to me that is very CREEPY as hell. Another guy posted a pic that was at least 20 to 25 years old minimum. I have been so disappointed by online dating!:-( To me, online dating does seem to be full of "not worth it men" unfortunately for us women.:-(

So plenty of fish has a rule in fine print that you can not contact people 14 or more years younger than you. I complained to Apple Corp and got my money back. I asked them to take me off the site. They did and then I got a message from a pretty woman more than 14 years younger than me. The scammers at plenty of fish wanted me to upgrade AGAIN to write to her when they know I can't because she is 51 -- too young. Puritans run this site. Probably they will say it's to protect women. My desired contacts were 40 to 50. Adult women. They send me messages and I can't return them because of pof rules. Beware of this and their attempts to scam you later. Thank you apple for refunding my money

I don't like your company your not customer friendly at all Its very frustrating and difficult to deal with people without a live person to talk to its just not right there should always be a live person to talk to when having problems jogging on.it really angers me and I will report you to the labor bord. I don't recommend this Dateing Site these people are difficult to deal with and I don't like all those passcode to usernames its not Necessary at all.

POF known as plenty of fish.com is a so called dating/social media website but in all honesty its full of these kind of people whom are just after whats in your wallet or what they can exploit from you sexually. The rest will demand things like pics of you and other demands in general. Nearly all are so up there own arses whom think they're it and they're something special but really are just the dreg's of our society really just plain nasty vile users on plenty of fish id seriously warn others

I met like 7 guys on here, the 6 one I went out for a month, ended up back with his X girlfriend if she was his X who knows. 7th guy, first 2 months I thought I met the most awesome man, so I thought "YIKES" His true colors started flying out, or should I say his mask slipped, 100% NARCISSIST, CRAZY WOULD NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER, VERBALLY ABUSIVE, THEN BECAME AN INTRUSIVE FREAK! SHOWING UP AT MY HOUSE, UNINVITED, THEN TURNED STALKER. HAD TO GET POLICE INVOLVED, STILL STALKS ME. PERIODICALLY, NO MORE ONLINE FOR ME. POF MORE LIKE- PLENTY OF FREAKS.COM

I tried out this site because I had heard so many mixed reviews from people I knew and online reviews. Omg. Save your time and stay away. If your looking for an easy, if yet more than questionable hook-up with people I wouldn't want to meet under any circumstance, perhaps this is the right place for you.

Whether your looking for friendship, casual, love, etc... I'd suggest doing a little research and finding another site with higher expectations.

Many fake profiles using profile pictures they've stolen off real peoples LinkedIn, facebook, Twitter accounts but also the more obvious ones use American football players, actors, models etc... when you report them to pof nothing appears to happen as the accounts remain active.
Keep yourself safer by searching profile pictures on an image search engine like Google Image or tineye, it's better than relying on pof to weed out the fakes!

POF has many more men then woman. 7:1 I've read. From my dates I've heard many of the men are just bad. (Like asking the women about their sex life at times on the first email). For the women this is a dating site. Meet them first then ask them all the marriage questions you have. POF if someone doesn't have a face pic they are married, have a girlfriend/boyfriend or are in jail. Every profile should have a face picture.
