I have been using POF on and off for years. I have talked to quite a few that are playing games and perhaps using fake profiles. I think you will find that at any of the sites. However for a free site, it is not that bad. I have been lucky enough to find some good friends on there. You get to look at the profiles and it's up to you to email and chat and hope they respond. You do get match selections and you can say whether or not you are interested. You can upgrade and pay money and get more perks (like being able to see if they have viewed your profile). However, it is not necessary and POF does not limit your use of the site in any way. You can edit your profile as to who's email you will accept. For instance, if you only want people to respond within a certain age group, you set that in your email settings. Others will not be able to send you emails or will be kicked back in another folder. It's a decent site, overall.

I was trying to hide my profile and could not. So I contacted pof only to find that they had blocked my profile themselves and listed about 5 reasons but could not be specific... hummm. So the only logical one was that I had been BLOCKED by several fat women who listed themselves as "AVERAGE" body type. I would meet em for a "date" of sorts and the fact that I was offended by their deception was offensive.(todays Libtard mentality run amuck. Even the liars are victim's of the truth, can you say RIOT). I also had one mental case that suddenly thought I was some sort of cia operational agent who was tracking her down and this was after a date... bbq joint. She blocked me, changed her pics... but would still "look at" my profile from time to time and if I called her on that she immediately blocked me again. So... there it is in a nutshell... Its ok by pof for women to lie and be bat$#*! crazy... but Man... don't you get blocked too many times or pof will ban you men!

I am a 54 year old female. I've been on and off this site for a few years. Here is a list of what is on this site 1. Men that do not have current pics up. 2. Older than what they posted. 3. Shorter than what they posted. 4.Men who can not structure a sentence. I think they should repeat second grade up. 5. Lots of bad or missing teeth. 6. Men who STILL live at home with their parents. The standard reason for this is that they are taking care of them. Yea! More like they are broke and lazy and parents enable this. 7. Men who do not have a license and or car. 8. Men who do not have a job. 9. Men who constantly talk about themselves and or their ex. 10. Men who whip out their phone and take calls, texts and or start to bore me with pictures of their kids, grand kids and other boring images that I am so not interested in. For crying out loud this is our first meet. 11. Of course the men who just want to have a ping pong e mail relationship and have no intention of ever meeting. And 12. Men who just want SEX. Please go to a sex site or get a pro! I know other sites have the same quality of men too but why pay to be lied to. That's the conclusion with ALL sites. It is so easy to lie. Just keep your radar up and don't take this stuff seriously. Ladies, just a heads up. If you meet a guy who acts like he is your boyfriend too soon, or is sooooo into you right away, beware, he is a player. There are lots of these guys out there. The dating sites are a breeding ground for sociopaths/players and what I mentioned above. Guys, I'm sure you run into unstable women too. If so, please post your own review. Thank You. Update. I have deleted my POF account about 1 month ago. Enough of this nonsense. It isn't getting any better with the caliber of men. I know that a lot of them are on paid sites too. So, I'll just see if I can meet someone IRL.

I joined yesterday, I'm a genuine subscriber. I paid £30+ and today I had to cancel because I found out the site auto-sends messages from me to their members. It resulted in a number of embarrassing emails saying thank you for contacting me... from people I'm not interested in, people not appropriate to my filters.
Bad website. Customer service was unhelpful. They can only either keep my profile up or take it down. Nothing in-between, no help.
So the point of the exercise is for them to take money, nothing else. If you've got it to give away, there are better places to give.

Mclbody001 / mclbody or also known as George Cascone is a pathological liar and a cheat! I've just found out that he is on POF looking for sex. His profile says that he is not using drugs and that is not true! He gets high and he is abusive. He's a player and the biggest liar that I have ever met. He's been with me for 3 years and I just found out that he is sleeping with other women from POF. Scared to death that he's not disease free... I'm headed to get tested ASAP. He always told me how busy he was and it was all a cover for the other women in his life! Definitely a first class member in the "dirty $#*! club"! Vandergrift, Cheswick, Pittsburgh, Cranberry

I was on pof a few times and I met some disgusting creatures they were hardly human these women were nasty fat pigs with atrocious personalities one of them wanted me to buy her an engagement ring after about 3 months. And the last time I tried to sign up my account was deleted after I sent one or 2 emails that just said "hello". Dont waste your time you will meet a loser and regret it. Also if you send out 100 emails to 100 different girls dont expect a single one to reply. If they do reply they will chat but never meet you.

From a mans point of view I will be fair and set my disappointment to one side. Pof is no better than real life for enhancing your chances to find a companion, however, if you take it seriously and do a sensible profile and upload honest pictures then it's not for the want of trying is it? It's very easy to become addicted to pof, rushing home from work to check messages, staying up later than usual chatting, it can be a real distraction if you are not disciplined. I had three dates, sex once and two coffees that never went any further. There are a lot of people who don't take the site seriously and will mess you around, the art is to not be too needy or come across as lonely as you will be ignored, the women seem quite a fickle bunch, only interested in money, looks, how far you will go to crawl to them and basically what they can get away with! My general impression is that I cannot come into contact with any woman in every day life without being suspicious and aware they are pretty evil things really, I don't genuinely think any of them genuinely want a relationship that might call on them to do some giving as well! Totally selfish individuals, rude and the best actresses ever put upon the planet earth, the ones who have the nice house etc are just prostitutes who probably still live off the ex old man they parted with in the first place... why don't blokes just stop the maintenance? Because you wouldn't want the kids to go hungry now would you? In short the women are filth who should be avoided, get a dog for loyalty and visit prostitutes... all covered... job done! Great for having sex with multiple women, but use a durex.

Ladies beware of a user named Mguitar86. Not only this user but several others are scammers looking for a booty call and lying about their marital status and age. The guys on the site claim to be looking for a serious relationship but after one date, expect to get into your pants. The site allows you to send messages for free and this is a gateway for horny losers to send messages telling you they want to get to know you and take you out on a date when in reality, all they want is a roll in the hey. Most guys will send the same message, "hello beautiful, can I take you out?" What a crock. If your looking to build a real relationship with someone honest and true, this is not the site. Pay money for eHarmony or true match

It's not free. To read your emails from other potential people you have to pay. 40 dollars for two months. Robotic messages, emails from so called other people looking to hook up. The company don't respond to your emails nor do they return phone calls. & you will notice the numbers online are false. My bank had a number and I tried to call. All nonsense. It's horrible. Scary. I want them and every other scum bag out there to stay away from me and my family. Me and my son. It was a total scam for me. I do notice they have complaints online. I should have checked first. It's harassment from other alleged people. They canceled my picture after I paid. They won't let you cancel your account out until you pick one of their bull choices for leaving. The real reason not even listed. After you contact them to cancel because you find out it's nonsense they tell you no refunds online they send you an automatic response. Our country sucks. They don't help people. I had to cancel my bank card before the payment went thru to make sure I received my money back. This site is bull too. You shouldn't have to register... and it doesn't tell you until after you type this out.

I recently decided to try online dating for the first time and decided to give this site a shot because it was the most popular free site, and I wasn't looking to spend money on something I wasn't sure about anyway. I made a profile and uploaded some pictures and waited. Sure enough I was getting tons of messages a day from guys in my area. I was excited about the good chance at meeting someone, since it's hard to do so once you leave college, have a job, and aren't thrilled about meeting guys at the bar. I found out rather quickly though that most of the people on the site aren't people I was even remotely interested in. Middle-aged men constantly messaged me asking me if I want a sugar daddy or a lot of guys looking for sex. Now, I understand no matter where you go or what you do you're going to get people like that, but it was ridiculous. Out of all of the messages I got I only got a few that really made me want to talk to the guys. They seemed normal at first, but then if I wasn't able to meet up/reluctant to yet would get irrationally angry, acted like they were in love with me and said really obsessive things before even meeting me etc. And a lot of these guys were very attractive and seemed like they had a lot going for them in their lives. I was getting more and more frustrated because I wasn't finding what I wanted at all. I met with a few guys I talked to for a little on the site and I can tell you none of them were how they made themselves out to be over the internet. Pretty much to sum up this site it consists of people looking to hook up with people in their area, people with mental/psychological issues or people who are completely socially inept. Waste of time if you're actually looking for a serious relationship and want to meet someone.

Beware... the site does accumulate profile information and apparently sells it to foreign countries. I found my profile (via Google) in both German and Portugese... I do not speak either language and have no intention of visiting either country.

Once I contacted Customer Service about the problem my (United States) profile was deleted. I could not log in with my user name/password and the (not so much) help link where I enter my email address to reset my password indicated the email address was not found in the database.

I tried emailing Customer Service and also *******@plentyoffish.com and got no response from either email address.

The short time my profile was active the only men I met were married with severe cases of "marital amnesia". It is definitely NOT the way to meet a quality man for a relationship.
