Original post-
Thangs are goin alright like her alot she comes over every night. Good site.

*EDIT*

One year and 2 months later...

It didn't work out with me and the girl. But that's because I went to jail and she just wanted to be negative while i was in there and couldn't deal with it. The site is still really good, I've met a few other people on there. Never any real Creepers or Weirdos. But I am a Male so I am not sure how great it is for females. Haha.

There are already plenty of reviews here describing the type of people you will meet on POF, if you meet any, but that's not what I am here for. I purchased an upgraded membership, which doesn't give you much more than being able to see when the last time a person was online and their "extended profile" if they have completed a couple of personal surveys. My complaint is that there is no way on their site to stop the auto renew charge to your account. I used their internal email, which is the only way to contact them because the customer service number always gives a busy signal.

I sent an email requesting my membership be downgraded back to the free membership. I did not receive a reply so I completely deleted my profile. I received an email, in my spam file a few days later stating I had been charged through the auto renew. I attempted to contact their customer service, but the line is always busy. I read the email and saw that if you Paypal for your payment, you could go to their site and cancel the auto renew and end future payments. Thank God I used Paypal.

I called Paypal and described the situation. The customer service agent was awesome. She cancelled any future charges and captured the funds for the most recent unauthorized charge. It will take a few days for me to see it in my Paypal account, but that's fine. I will never return to that site and I advise you to stay away from it too.

I would have to say the site itself is not so bad, it is easy to use and stuff, but the real problem is in with the people that have joined the site... I know with what I am about to say you will probably roll your eyes and say who doesn't do that but everyone on there just lies about them self an example is they will say they are super friendly and down to earth... I know I have messaged quite a few people and I have the upgraded membership so I can see this, people just delete your messages without even reading them... whats the point in that? How do you get to know someone if they or you never bother to read it?! I would have to say this site is totally toxic and if you want to feel bad for yourself feel free to join up and be disappointed like I am. I know I wont renew my membership when it expires.

I'm not sure why are you all so disappointed and toxic. You get what you seek. When making your profile, you need to define your core values. You need to be able to express yourself. Also, when it comes to choosing a life partner you can't be clueless about what you really want and need. You shouldn't post explicit photos of yourself and expect to be treated respectfully (unfortunately, that's how life is), or try to get match with the people who are not compatible to you or your lifestyle.

The best thing you can do is to be yourself. Only then you have a chance to find a true mach... and love...

Just my two cents... :)

I realize it is not ALL men... but what DECENT guy would want to sleep with a female without really knowing anything about her... especially her health history? If a man (or woman) has no concern about their own health, what makes you think they would care about yours? I don't "hookup", and don't want to be involved with anyone who does... and you find those types of men (and the ones with criminal records), aplenty on this site.

Tell the truth, post a recent flattering picture and women who have things in common with you will respond. The negativity on many of these posts is from men (and women) who simply are not ready to meet their counterparts on POF. Don't expect replies to inadequate profiles or expect others to buy a pig in a poke (no picture.) Human nature is what it is and society has trained us over the past 30 years that it is important to reel in someone who is attractive. If you don't write in an appealing way and post an appealing picture, guess what, you're not going to get replies from prince charming or princess Leah

I don't know why guys feel the need to do this, but pof don't allow it
However, women may share private images.

There are two types of men here. Men who have personality disorders or guys who are waiting for Miss America to contact them. They dont have the courtesy to respond but just ignore messages. Oh wait there is a third category- men who pretend to want to meet but disappear as soon as you ask to get together. I did meet one guy who proceeded to tell me on the first date the rules of our new life together and what type of sex we would be having. I won't mention that he was going to instruct me on proper bowel movements during dinner. You can't make this stuff up!
