Plenty of FishReviews 2,006

Man, I was on this site for at least a year off and on. All honesty I'm like a 7/10 nothing too great but I'm not ugly. So I'm thinking yo, I'll find someone whose close to my age and fun.

Nah. Not the case at all.

Unlike many people leaving reviews I realized that the girls in my area were actually people I went to high school with at some point. I'm 26 now and seeing their pro pics was a little weird at first. All that being said let me tell me you about my experiences.

In my 1 year I had about 30 girls with kids message me saying hi. I was very attentive to them and answered appropriately until I realized they just wanted a sugar daddy. When I backed off they got mad. Dumb $#*!.

I messaged about 50 girls a day for 2 weeks. Almost trying to see how many girls were real or would even respond. To my surprise atleast 200 females didn't reply to me at all. 20 females did reply only to tell me they didn't like black guys and another 20 replied to tell me that they aren't looking for a relationship...

Wtf, I don't get why you would be on this dating site if you don't want to date anyone.

My conclusion after a year is this. More than 80% of the females on the site are looking for guys to tell then they are hot. It's all ego. They don't respond to anyone who isn't a model type. Trust me I even played games and posted a pic of Ari Shapiro from NPR and birches went crazy talking like 60 messages a day from females. Basically ugly, fat and egotistical girls sit back on their phones and let good guys go for the guy who can any girl. They live off the "hey you're cute" messages even though they say they hate it. It's hilarious to me. Too many stupid females just looking for ego boosts. I'll pass.

Also after reading these reviews I think it's pretty obvious a lot of females find their love after waiting but lets be real youre picking and choosing from 200 guys a day probably. SO YEAH! I think it's obvious why THESE HOES FIND LOVE.

$#*! POF

Had only been on pof 2 weeks before we found each other. I had fun talking to some of the guys. I think u have to be very clear in what you want and are looking for. Otherwise you allow the others to waste your time. You knew that guy wasn't crap when you first heard him speak but you ignored your intuition and carried on any way. Not pof fault... yours. I been with my man 2 years now he is a wonderful provider and we will be getting married this summer.

Off the bat you could tell several of the profiles on the site were fakes. They featured pictures of beautiful women with incomplete profiles. Profiles that were clearly made to boost up the stats of the site and to make it seem legit.

Now after clearing out the fakes, You are left with some of the worst search results of all time. Trying to find a girl 10 miles from you? Here's one from Vermont. Want to find someone looking for a relationship? Here's one that isn't seeking a relationship of any kind. Which drives another point, Why does a dating site have the option of someone saying they aren't looking for a relationship right now? Sort of flaws the point of being on there doesn't it?

The only way for them to save the site is to remove the clearly fake profiles and to improve the search function of their site. Also, Remove the option of not wanting a relationship. If you don't want one then why are you joining a dating site?

Anyone looking to just hookup for sex, this is the site for you. However, those looking for substantial committed relationships run for the hills. The guys on the site just want sex no matter what their profiles say. Can you imagine I received a message from one who said he wanted to come bite me? Really! Each time one reaches out the line is the same either hey beautiful, hi gorgeous really nothing original. The conversations turn to sex quickly so if you are little more reserved well just forget it. Randomn men wanting to come to see you after a mere hello how are you. Then saying they will cook you dinner. That was cute when I was a college student. Now it is clear he is running game to get you to his place for sex. Men telling you about their tools, asking what type of panties you wear, and other foolishness. Ugh! Plenty of nonsense. Maybe a few people have found love on this site but my bet is that the number is low. For the women who love meaningless hook ups like this, more power to you. I am closing my account because there are plenty of piranhas and that is not what I want. I don't have time to waste.

I was on that site for 9 months. And yeah there were some interesting guys that I chatted with, but meeting them in person was another thing. Some said they were looking for something serious but other times they just wanted to have sex. I thought that I wouldn't meet anybody that was "normal" I was actually giving up... but I did. It's all about patient and yes being frustrated and not caring anymore is something that we all go through. It's about profiles that you can really read on and catch them on the act if they are truly being dishonest. It took me 9 months to find someone that was great, and now after 3 months, it's still going strong. Not everyone will agree with me, but this is the dating world that we are willing to put ourselves through to meet the right one :)

They do not approve profiles or photos. People can post anything they want, and POF does nothing to protect their users. There are a lot of fake and outdated profiles on POF. If you don't delete your profile it remains on POF. Even if you have not been online for years. You can report anyone you want, but POF will not do anything about it. Once I complained about their practises and my account was deleted. They need a lot of users because it's a free site. Money comes from advertising. So much is wrong with this site and you will never find anyone at POF who cares. Horrible site. Spend a few dollars and pick a site with integrity and a good reputation.

My spouse went on this site and met some chick with her profile sunneedazee66 she's total homewrecker $#*! $#*! she knew he was married with three kids and didn't care $#*!ing this site is just a free way for people to lie and cheat on their spouse this girl is so evil she got mad that he was with his wife still but still open her mattress legs up Lindsay la forest of Woodstock Ontario I found out has met many people on here who in fact where married or engaged and still slugged it up with them like I haven't left cause of my kids and baby we are expecting in summer. At the sametime he tells me he loves me and begs for sex like we have always been married in full sense he just lied on site. Cause it's free makes it easy for people to cheat pof stand plenty of whores

I have tried this dating site and found a lot of men very interested in chatting with me but when I met them in person they looked totally different from their pictures and some I never met face to face but when chatting on the phone with those, I found out that even though these men are daily on the site, they failed to update their profile( some relocated out of the area, lost jobs months earlier). These three factors play a extremely important role, that is what any of us use to decide to reach out to someone in the first place, (1) How they look(how current their photo is,(2) Where they are located now and (3) What their financial status is or at least if it is sound or are they in and out of work and why?
I am sincerely honest here and I hope this helps

I was on POF for about 6 months, met my fair share of nasties and chumps. Hilarious stories to tell. But a geeky guy showed up as a "top priority match" and after a few weeks of talking we exchanged numbers and finally met. I had 2 kids from my past marriage and had to be very careful. Mind you, I posted on my site that I had children and no one with a record needed to message. I was very clear that I was a nerd and very independent and kind of a control freak.

Fast forward: we will be getting married in June after being together for over 2 years, we have a little girl together, and he has stepped into the father role for my other daughter without being asked or expected. He is amazing and I would never have met him if it weren't for POF. I've also met some of the best friends I have every had through him. One of them is my MoH. If you take your time you could find the right one.
