POF.com Reviews

POF does not give you what you expect. I live in a small town. When I tried to find people within 20 miles it changed the miles to 150. Who is going to drive 150 miles to go on a date? When I joined the premium package, I thought I would be able to mail or text to people that interested me. Nooo. Well okay, one a day after they got my money for a premium package. More than one a day costs more. Not worth a dime in my book.

I would never make a purchase on POF.com because of their arrogant limitations and arrogant business policies with the free account. Allowing only 1 new message per day? That is utterly greed, arrogant, and asinine. A greed business model like that should NEVER be rewarded.

I'm not happy with POF. The cancelled my account without warning and without a reason why. A POF User said that I had uploaded some documents, but I looked and I didn't see any documents. If that was the reason, they didn't give me any warning. Also, that would have been an accident by over selecting, which was not on my part but probably POF's part. Now, I've created some connections and can't talk to them again.

They will ban you for no reason, paying customer or not. They allow sex workers to post and the quality of other matches are very low. I have seen profiles that have been there for years and a lot of fakes that will not respond or ghost you after a couple responses. They are ran by the same company that operates Tinder, Hinge, OKcupid, Match, Meetic, BlackPeopleMeet, LoveScout24, OurTime, Pairs, ParPerfeito, And Twoo. I would suggest staying away from all these sites unless you want to be scammed.

The site is rip off. First they charge an outrageous fee for a premium account then limit the number of first messages you can send to 1 day unless you buy more of them or pay a minimum for $80 a month. Also don't be tricked like I was if you sign up for a free account, they will Blur out pictures on your like page. Then when you pay for a membership come to find out they just viewed your profile, and most of them look like they are POF employees as they live nowhere nears you and don't have any of the same interests as you.

I have tried a number of dating sites and POF is, by far, the worst. There are a ton of fake profiles in my age category (55+). Although you can filter your search, you can do so using only certain criteria. You cannot weed out people with unverified profiles (which you can do on Bumble). The only good feature on POF, which I haven't seen on other dating sites, is the question asking how long was your longest relationship. That tidbit is gold!

POF is not a very good site as it does not delete old profiles that have been inactive for more than a few years. Also they recommend profiles that are in other countries that does not make sense as you will never have anybody that wants to have long distance relationships.

Totally crap site. Everything in the reviews is correct. Profiles in multiple times and will not go away. Cannot delete people. Have to pay additional charge on top of membership to even message people. Difficult to can. Impossible to reach for support. Absolutely terrible or I can say NO customer support. STAY AWAY!!!

I paid $30.00 (+ tax) and upgraded to the Premium subscription, thinking there would be no limitations, at least not in the amount of members I could contact. Well lo and behold, they limit you to a few initial contacts per day. And they have the nerve to put in parenthesis (this one is on us)...for ** $30.00. So when you have no more (this one is on us) you get a pop up with several options to PAY MORE in order to get more contacts..for ** $30.00. Do not pay for anything on this site, it's just another money scam.

I joined 4 months ago. Sooo many fakes. I have reported them, and I was told by POF they banned them, after I proved they were impersonators (over 60 fakes reported in 4 months). One guy I reported and got banned 3 times, but he kept showing up. Not one date in 4 months

I don't recommend at all. They do with your profile whatever they feel like it without your permission. Also, in this dictatorial site, they banned you without explanation, just because they decided (textual words). So, they can keep their stupid site for all the fake people they have there to cheating each other. Such a lack of education that it's not even funny.

This is the worst dating app I’ve ever been on. You cannot delete people that you don’t want to see on your profile, when you swipe left on someone they will continue to show up time after time, and there are no preferences, for example I was getting guys way older and way younger than me, and who lived farther away than I was comfortable with. Also can’t prefer smokers or nonsmokers, drinkers, religion, etc. Everyone shows up, period. Deceptive business practices, it’s not clear what services you’re paying for. I wish I had seen these reviews before I signed up for their NON-REFUNDABLE subscription, a PERMANENT ACTION, which they told me in all bolded letters when I asked. Don’t do it!!

After paying these guy thousands, My log in was cancelled for no reason. No refund just bull. Lies. It's always been crap anyway, Like going to Oakland. I admit all of them are a joke however. Particularly Match.com. Tinder all lies. These sites are bullies and for suckers.

POF is horrible. Most of the women are so far away from my location. They are fake, old or just downright ugly!!! Don't sign up for this app. It's a waste of time!!! You need to find much better apps that actually give you women within the distance parameters you request. Not someone 200 miles away! It's a joke!!!!

This APP is HORRIBLE AND A WASTE OF TIME I PROMISE!!!! You cannot send a message or even see a like without paying!!!! They are too money hungry, you can tell the owner or operator is not a smart business person. Zero STARS!!! Money hungry & you cannot use features that are fundamental without paying! This New Age Consumer thirst with all these apps and websites is so lame and stupid! Like I don’t think I’m from this timeline. Smh.

They will randomly remove account. For example if you have 3 months membership they will give you one month then shutdown your account and not give your money back. If you complain they just won't answer. I have tried to contact support. They just say we decide who we shutdown. I asked for proof if I violated their privacy. They just say, "We don't care if you did or not. We can do any time we want," which is little bit strange. This used to be good site but apparently they have either rogue managers or rogue employees who are using facial recognition software and decide when they want to remove your account.

I agree with the negative reviews. Most profiles are no longer available. They nickel and dime you to death. It's all about making more money, forgetting the customer. Most dating sites are now like this. Some are even worse. I'd give them negative stars if it was possible. I'm now using Facebook Dating. It sucks but it's free.

POF was honestly a letdown for me. Compared to Datemio, where everything❤️ feels simple and direct, POF is messy and full of distractions. The interface is outdated, and there are way too many fake profiles and ads. Most chats feel forced or go nowhere at all. It’s hard to find anyone genuinely interested, and the whole experience feels like a waste of time. Competitors made things much easier when it came to local hookups. POF just doesn’t deliver in the same way.

I just met someone on POF. It turns out this person was a scammer. Goes by the name Roland. This isn't the first time I was scammed by someone on POF. Or other sites. Don't use these sites. I've lost a lot more than just money.

The dating app keeps profiles that have not been active for YEARS so it looks like you have a lot more options than you really do. You can’t see that info unless you pay. The cost has skyrocketed from $30 a month to to $30 a week. There are bots that make it in, but there are also people paid to specifically ask questions about your experience. If someone asks you “how long have you been on this platform” and “how do you like it?” They aren’t really a love interest. They are collecting data. Then if you don’t have a paid account, you can only message one woman per day, and they limit your likes per day. If someone likes you, you can’t see the profile unless you pay. The software is designed in such a way that it will never suggest or bring up a person who liked you, in your searches. So unless you pay, you can’t directly match with people; you can still get lucky sometimes.

I don't even know were to begin. I have not been on Plenty of Fish since the late 90s. I was using Match but wasn't getting many positive responses so I figured I try POF. At first I thought it was great because unlike Match you just pay for the membership and you can message and connect with anyone. I was getting so many responses I thought I had hit the jackpot until most profiles seemed to be the same MO. Most pressured me to leave the site and go elsewhere. Many of the sites were fake too. Also wanted my personal information right away and didn't respect my privacy. They also were very forward and over complimenting me. Saying things that were not true and giving me false hope. Then the next thing you know they would disappear.

OK, I didn't think it would be easy--I'm 80 and a widower, but I didn't think it would be this hard to find a casual companion. For outings like movies, dinners, festivals, etc. and conversation. I'm too old to be looking for a torrid affair., Most of the women are too young or live too far away, and I the search function won't let me change the age range or distance away, and even though I am a paying member, I can't find a simple way to contact the site administrator to complain about the problems with the search function.

I just found out, unbeknownst to me, that I have been paying over $60 a month for this worthless service when I thought I was browsing for free. I wouldn't knowingly pay $10 a month for this crap. I will contact the BBB at the very least.

POF is a HORRIBLE company. While it has a free option, their supposed "safety" measures are a joke. In my experience, 9 out of 10 users are scammers. You report them, and POF immediately takes down their profile - without ANY review! So while you are trying to help others avoid those issues, there is no policing by POF themselves! I was on for approximately 2 months before I, myself, was suddenly banned. No explanation, even when I asked. They simply sent me a blanket "after reviewing your account, you were in violation of community standards." After I had verified the very limited amount of info you can actually verify (most accounts do NOT have any verification - so there are a LOT of photos that are not even the person they are claiming to be) and actually written up a profile (very few go to any effort at all).

I have been on POF for several years off and on. I find it to be a total waste of time. If you send someone a message you maybe lucky if you get 1 respond for 25 messages. You can be chatting with someone and they just ghost you right in the middle of your chat. No one really wants to meet or even get to know you. Please don't waste your time and money on this site. Ladies you need to get off your computers and get back to a normal life, get out and meet real people.

I have been on POF off and on for many years and have been happy. Yes I met someone I thought that could be the one. We exchanged numbers and talked. During that time, I deleted my reactivated and deleted my acct 3 times. I was not aware this was against policy. Nothing written. Now they have blocked my number and won’t let me back on. I have written to customer service several times. They said no you’re not banned. But my number won’t work for verification. I am getting the runaround from them. I am not stupid but they think I am.

I've been on and off POF.com for many years without ever having any issues other than meeting guys who are not what they portrayed themselves to be. I take that par for the course of the dating game. I met someone recently on POF and we agreed to both close our accounts. We went on several dates. Even rang in the New Year together only for him to then ghost me. I decided to go back on POF and I saw he was also on there. Completely out of the blue I get an email from POF telling me I've now been banned. I appealed this as there's no reason that I should be and they replied, "This case is closed. We will no longer be replying to your email." I can't believe that they can randomly shut my account down and ban me from their website for no valid reason. Not impressed!!!

I first joined (not a paying member) in 2015ish. At that time you could search as many profiles as you wanted. Fast forward to 2020-now (December 2024). Now you can only search 1 or 2 profiles then you have to pay, 95% of women's profiles state, "User has blocked any conversation, try sending a like instead". Impossible to get any type support to change/add to your profile. Total waste of time, not sure what happened to site.

I recommend staying away from any dating site that is owned by the Match Group. POF used to be good when it wasn't owned by the MG. They basically defiled it like they have with all of the other major dating sites that used to be good before they they became corrupt. Match.com used to be good until about 5yrs ago. OurTime wasn't the best before the MG bought them, but now it's just like Match. It's literally a mirror image of it. Tons of fake and inactive profiles to lure you in. Bottom line, the Match Group is over a half a million dollar corporation. That should tell you something. Verify the dating site owner before you sign up.

POF was good years ago but now it’s just a money grab. They send you fake views and likes to get you to bite since you can’t see who sent them unless you pay. Old and dormant profiles, scammers, game players and plain out liars. They prey on people’s loneliness and desperation, sad.
