    Incredible how lame POF is. I post a picture of my tattoo, nothing offensive and they deleted it but the scammer are trolling all day, it's pathetic. I used POF 20 years ago to find my late wife but wow they are trash, you need to respond, you need to like, you need to pay for breathing. I'm over this and I hope my review hurts them

    I chatted 8 women, everything is going well and in the middle of conversing it says no longer active profile. It’s a waste, it’s depressing, it’s a sham to keep you chatting with no option to contact them. Don’t waste your money here. I just deleted this app after 3 weeks of using it. Something is wrong with the programming.

      Do not waste your time or money. I would have to say that the majority of the profiles are fake. Every “man” I got into a conversation with wanted me to go on WhatsApp to continue the conversation. That’s a dead giveaway away that’s it is a fake profile. Also what they say about themselves, where they work, etc. is worded poorly and doesn’t make a lot of sense which tells you it is a fake profile. It’s unfortunate that Match.com owns POF and Tinder which leads me to believe that all three dating sites are full of scammers. I have reported many accounts and was notified that the accounts have been removed, but it is an endless battle.

      It's on absolutely terrible app. They say "Free" ~ no, the "Only" free is you signing up. Even if someone checked they like you, you can't see who it is, you have to pay to see the phony profiles. Only fake profiles & only scammers ~ 100%. Example 1: meet someone for coffee, & someone else showed up. Not the person on the profile. Example 2: meet them about 4 times & to find out he was married & still living with wife, kids & mother-in-law at home. Example 3: meet someone that said he was entrepreneur. Came to find out, he's only a busboy in the restaurant. "And the games go on"!!! This app is more than a one star 🌟 & 2 thumbs down. It should be really looked at or taken off!!!

      Yeah the women on there are as shallow and toxic as eff. Obviously only interested bad type guys who look bad guy type. Used to get lots of mutual matches but has been dead for a year. The only women that talk to you are ones that abuse you or ask for money. Looks like lots of users have left the site. Never been as good since they restricted who you can talk to who and moved towards the swipe feature. Slowly moving to a pay site.

      Worst site I've ever used. Tons of AI profiles where people have like teeth on their tongue etc, obvious AI, two eyes in the same spot. If you're a girl you get bombarded with likes and messages. To the point you don't have to use the meet me option. If you are a guy you get no likes, and no messages, no matter how much you try. Then, you get people not in your age category trying to talk to you. I paid 30 bucks, and it's been like a month, and a 57 yr old lady messaged me to talk as a friend for support for her boyfriend that died. A lot of profiles are inactive ones that aren't even in use. Then the ones that are there are AI created, couples looking for people to join their sick fantasies, and transgender and gay people. I'm a male seeking female. You get all of those things.

      Then I paid 30 bucks. You get nothing for it. You still have to pay 5 bucks for 3 first messages, so if you want to talk to someone who didn't like you, because why would they have like 60 dudes in their message box. You gotta pay 5 bucks for 3. But you already paid 30 for the month. What do you get for the 30? You get to see who viewed your profile and who liked you. That's it. Who liked you? Accounts that aren't real or people that are basically prostitutes, people outside of your preferences like 55-yr old women. I'm 37.

      This site is so awful, and so shamefully ripping people off. Like you have AI created profiles, with obvious AI pictures. You have basically prostitutes operating on there as well. Like. Who is monitoring this stuff. Then, to top that off, haven't even been on a month, and the sites been down like 3 times. Currently it's been down for the whole DAY. Like I paid 30 bucks, and you are still making me pay for the days your site is down. Oops we're down for maintenance.

      I think this site is absolutely terrible. It’s always asking you for additional money. The vast majority of the people on here are not paying for the service, therefore they can’t see any of your likes in order to get connected. I’ve reported five faults or scams within one week and they won’t give me my money back. The conversations are shallow. The vast majority do not meet my dating each group. It’s an absolute horrible app and I do not recommend it at

      POF expects you to change your gender preferences to accommodate homosexual advances. It doesn't matter how polite you are, if you decline a same-sex match and they turn in your account, you WILL GET BANNED and POF will uphold their decision in an appeal.

      It's just o.k. but it's free so I get what I pay for. My first date was with an alcoholic who was so wasted he got a DUI. He got his truck towed away. So I had to find a taxi to take me home. Then he had the nerve to call me the next morning because he needed to get his truck out of the impound and needed to borrow some money. Then we went to the impound lot. Yes I helped him with the money. There I find out he is married because the truck was in his wife's name. I never should of helped him out. What a mistake.

      Customer service is of no help. I am being billed twice the advertised pricing for Premium subscription. Profiles seem recycled as well. I may have to dispute my credit card charges as once again they are being of no assistance. What a shame, as it used to be a good site, and I have been a long time member. But enough is enough!!!
