I do not understand why companies like this are able to say to the public that they are free of charge and this is not quite true. This company asks you to put all your data and once you do that you cannot navigate free until you buy tokens. THIS IS A SCAM THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

I can honestly say I had a good outcome with Plenty of Fish. I found my fiancé 7 yrs ago on Plenty of Fish. We have 2 kids together and next year we planned to be married in February. My advice is be honest with yourself and your beliefs.

Very bad experience... I have been on POF for one year, just logged in maybe once a month. And the most worst **, sex addicts most of them on the POF. I did not go out or meet no one. These miserable men on POF they blocked me or put my profile on Google and this owner form POF deleted my account. What the hell I DID WRONG... you believed these mentally sick men from POF. I have only 6 pic of normal face image also my dogs. What a garbage site and owners in all the ways... His tactic's so horrible, he can't distinct normal women on POF and prostitutes. Disgusting site... never I will be on this site. The owner Marcus a liar who asked to upgrade right away. So is not free. Garbage website and entrepreneurship.

Markus Frind, Vancouver, Canada own POF. He is a very aggressive person with his site. He loses touch by not listening to genuine customers advice. POF claims to be a leader yet the site is renowned for setting the trend for other dating sites to become scam sites. This is proven with POF's "Upgraded Member" accounts. You sign their compulsory terms for POF to debit $ from your credit card at the end of your POF term, regardless whether you have found a date/partner, regardless that you have deleted your account and left POF, they just keep taking your money. YET... There is nowhere on the payment pages where you can STOP the recurring payments. You give POF open license to keep taking your money. I know because I went through this experience myself on POF and have know personal friends that suffered the same experience. POF still have the same setup today. It is a ripoff.
Another problem with POF is they ask your help to maintain the site's integrity by reporting suspicious accounts and accounts with inappropriate profile pictures. I am an honest and fair guy and I had supported POF on this issue. One day I found a whole network of profiles on POF that were linked to a particular ** site. I spent 90 minutes detailing each fake profile. Two weeks later I reported a number of profiles that had trees, sunsets and multiple people in pictures as a profile's main profile picture. I reported these exactly as per their TOS. My POF account got deleted for helping them.
Moral of the story if you go on to POF do NOT report inappropriate accounts (including ones with ** pics) as you will be the one who gets banned and have your account deleted. Markus Frind and his staff have no qualms in booting the people that help their site. There are reviews all over the Net of others having similar experiences. Another issue POF has is connection. You can be in the middle with having a conversation with someone online and POF will disconnect you indiscriminately. You lose your message and the respondent thinks you just left the conversation without saying goodbye. POF are aware of this issue. It has been happening for many, many years. Yet they have not solved the issue nor warn their customers that this issue exists. This is bad customer service to say the least.
There are many other negative issues with POF. It is a site I do not recommend to friends. Their criteria and search algorithms are poor. You are matched with others who are clearly not your match, including smokers and nonsmokers, members with children either infant or adult children. This really wastes your time and is extremely frustrating. Yet POF drags their feet on these issues. There are far better free dating sites. Give POF a miss and save yourself some grief.

Plenty of Fish automatically renewed my 6 month membership without notifying me and without my consent. There is no customer service phone number or customer service e-mail to contact them. When I signed up for the 6 month membership there was nothing saying this was going to be an automatic renewal so I had nothing to check or unsubscribe to when I put the order through.

I haven't subscribed to this site, and probably won't because they misrepresent what you can do for free. It is difficult to navigate through, too much going on. I can't receive responses from members paying or non paying I've sent messages to. I've sent messages to POF no response back. Not even sure if these people I've sent messages to are even still a member. OKCupid far better have had better success, get responses back, and now I paid.

This is my review about Plenty of Fish. It's the worst app and site ever made. Your profile gets constantly deleted for absolutely no reason and once your profile is deleted you can never sign back up again. This is what Plenty of Fish state, "POF has 0 tolerance for users who are rude, upload fake pictures, married, use sexual language in their first email, upload nude photos or break our terms of service in any way. Any user caught doing so is deleted. You may also be deleted if you accumulate a high number of blocks. Users who are deleted may not signup to the service again."
Which is a joke just because people block you or say you're married and you just want to find some friends. You can't because your profile gets deleted. What a joke. So let's say I didn't like someone so ill get a bunch of my friends and block them and then their profile will get deleted. What a load of crap and without even doing a google search for their customer service address. They don't even have it displayed on their site and even if you send them a email you won't even get a reply back and also girls can send any picture they like but when it comes to guys they expect us to upgrade just to send pictures sexist ** so just because I don't have a ** between my legs I need to upgrade pfft.
I would not spend a cent on this stupid app and yet some hell its 1 of the most popular apps and now they even start advertising on television pfft what a joke if I could give this app a 0 or even a -1. Aould but unfortunately they dont have that option for me so I would give them a 1 this app is run by ** and I wish it was never made and I can't wait until the day these ** stupid dumb ** go bankrupt and out of business. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY TO UPGRADE I REPEAT DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY to upgrade this stupid site cause if you do you will regret it and they don't even refund your money. They're a joke and a waste just google plenty of fish and see how many bad reviews these idiots have.

Met my perfect match on POF. Made 3 trips to Michigan for vacation and stayed with my little tulip each time. We both decided we want to have a relationship with each and this will work. We get along so good and I told her we are it. I moved back to Michigan November 2015 after being gone for 27 years. We're still together and we are happy.

I am a transgender women was the first line of my profile Because POF only list man or women as options. I marked female because that's what I am. I have spoken to a couple of men. One or two were very nice. After speaking to a man yesterday I asked him if he knew I was trans just to make sure. Well he had not read my profile and he ended our conversation... which is fine however POF deleted my account right after. Maybe if POF was to expand the options on the site.

An honest gentleman, spent several hours completing the profile and compatibility tests, and always respectful of women I communicated with, all followed all rules. Still removed without an explanation. Only one thing (in my opinion) that might have caused the removal - discrimination or, in other words, racism because of my color. The service continually presented me with women of my race, though I indicated I was had no racial preferences. Since I choose women of all races as possible matches, my conclusion - they didn't like or respect my preferences.

I was with Plenty of Fish before and the site was ok then. I recently became single and now I have reopened my account again. After I opened it, immediately could not get back into my account and now I even tried with a new email address and still was booted from the website. No one has reached back to me. Very disappointed about the treatment. I feel I'm being targeted and it's upsetting. They need to step it up.

People don't put much effort into creating their profiles, nor do they put much effort into reading the profiles of others. I think it speaks to the larger issue of folks just not paying attention to life in general. We're all too busy looking at our devices and expecting our problems to be fixed in a click and a pill. Real human connection takes time and effort and I can rarely get anyone out from behind their screen in order to meet them in real life.

I am a newly single person getting back into the dating world. Male. I consider myself a pretty honest person. And lonely and trying to use good judgment and integrity as I'm starting to date again. A Friend of mine suggested some other sites but this one popped up as a possibility. Without joining it I started checking out on the free site and lot of people that I might consider dating from my perspective as a newbie again popped up. Of course I couldn't contact them. A friend told me just in general, "You should join and try it out". I have not looked at this Consumers Affairs site beforehand. Wish I had. After I joined within the first day or two I was of course contacted by more than three women. They were said to be my age with one picture. Much younger looking than the age presented. Of course I was intrigued. Quickly realize that these were not real people at all.
After the first day I got that the women who were real and what their sites look like probably wouldn't be a match for me for one reason or another. And the ones that were, were extremely skeptical or untrusting. After reading this ConsumerAffairs I now know why. Lot of these people here on this form are ladies talking of their experiences mostly negative not many of men. I talk to my friend about this site and he said that he had his site passwords stolen and somebody used it in a very scandalous way and his name was soiled on this site. He tried getting his money back and that they would take no responsibility for scams which is BS. The people were unwilling to talk to him. They said, "The money is gone it's ours now." Blah, blah, blah. I after a day wanted to cancel and of course they told me no. The money is theirs.
Since then I took an better notice of the people that might contact me. You can definitely tell the real from the fake and I question whether the webmaster is possibly throwing proverbial bones at me to keep me interested. The people that I would consider are absolutely not real in my view. I told him I want to cancel after the two month. That I unfortunately agreed to. I'm going to call my bank and make sure this card for this service is not used again but I don't know if that's going to make a difference.
I've heard of such sites years ago who told you if somebody had been logged onto this site or how long it's been since they last use the site. You really have no idea how where these people are, how long ago these people were on the site and anybody could use their name and pictures and put down warm-and-fuzzy words to make people interested. Hence I would imagine the webmaster but who would know. Only POF would know. I'm still kind of looking but it with an extreme amount disbelief and probably going to turn it off soon since it's only been a couple days. I highly at this point recommend that whoever looks at this site absolutely should not join.

FREE is BS... you get what you pay for Match.com is much better and quick to respond to any behavior reported... they pull the bad element off as soon as investigated and reported. Match is worth the fee. I am a man and POF has no idea the some gay guys are logging on as women. Hello... Never pay for the upgrade it is not worth it... I did for 3 months...

My first attempt with POF. The first experience my Daughter in law created me a profile last Memorial day weekend for me and the response was ridiculous. Within 20 minutes I had 100 guys messaging and wanting to meet me. I have been out of the dating game for about 9 years and this was a bit overwhelming. It only got worse to the point I had to turn my notification off. I know the goal is to interact with people for possible dating or relationship, but when you have 400 men in one weekend contacting you, it was just too much. When I did take the time to look thru the candidates the first one I felt comfortable enough to exchange numbers, during our first convo within a few minutes he asked me "did you get my pictures?" I asked what pics and he said, "I just sent you some." I checked my phone and it was 3 pics of his penis!!! I immediately blocked his number and deleted my account!! I will stick to being single till God sends my husband.

Over the last 2.5 days, Markus, the racist, woman hating creator of this horrific scam of a site, has kicked me off the site for no reason. I have been cursed at by men, I've been harassed by men, I've received filthy messages from me. I've reported this abuse to Markus and the response is the kick ME from the site. My profile lasts maybe a day and then I receive a message saying "user unknown", "password unknown." So I recreate my account. The site administrator is in no way concerned with protecting his female users. There are abusive, women beaters on the site. There are married men on the site. Each time a woman reports something like this to Markus, he adds a new criteria for men to check on their profiles thus protecting their married statuses. This site needs to be taken down. Too many women are being abused and scammed. Please help us.

This dating site is extremely sexist. I did not violate any standards. I had quite a few horrible and harassing messages from men. My profile was deleted because a man got mad that I didn't want to go out with him and reported it as a scam profile. I had done absolutely nothing wrong. My profile had nothing more than only pictures of my face. There was no inappropriate content or messages. Yet men post nude pictures on their profile and that's fine with this sham of a dating site. They are promoting the harassment and abuse of women on this site. And if a woman doesn't want to date a man or simply doesn't reply to his messages she is deleted. The idiot who reported my profile said it had to be fake because women from WV don't have teeth. POF agreed with him and deleted my profile. Extremely sexist. That's called discrimination. A class action lawsuit needs to be filed.

I was very open on my profile about dating anyone regardless of color. This apparently invited at least 4 racist men to attack me through messages. Upon placing on my profile to please not to contact me with hate messages concerning any color my account was removed and POF will not respond as to why I can not create or keep a account. I have screenshots of all of the hurtful remarks from others and find it extremely unfair that even when I was NOT the person creating a major problem I was removed from the site. It is my opinion now that it is POF's intentions to promote this type of horrible behavior towards others and kick off anyone who does not agree with their practices.

The site POF has joined a third party vendor 844-221-2543. This is where the scam is happening. Like everyone else, I had a profile for months. While on the account it logged me out and when I attempted to log back in it's saying invalid username and password. I tried reset the password but the email was not coming to me. I opened a new Gmail and opened a new account. I had it for 1 week and it did the same. Logged me out and deleted my account. I called the 844 number at the top to their tech/billing department in India. It's saying MY network has been compromised and in order for them to fix it I need to pay them $149.99. I explained this is the only site I'm having this issue with and I'm not the only one having this issue based off the online complaints.
For my second account I was only logging in from my phone and I was only phone when it logged me out and deleted my account. So it seems POF is the one who has been hacked and their customers info are in jeopardy. So when you call this 3rd party company they will attempt to get remote access to your PC where they will show you the word HACKED first it my email, that was hacked and I told them I just open the gmail account they said oh it must be my network that was hacked. I said I haven't used in on my PC yet only my phone. They wanted to give them remote access to my PC a card for 149.99 in order for them to fix the HACKED problem. POF clearly don't care about the customers and are trying to rob them.

I had a very decent account with POF and wrote polite messages. Yet for some reason, the account was suddenly deleted, twice. No reason, no warning. You just cannot log in anymore, your email no longer exists in the system. You cannot contact anyone, the help email on their site does not answer. Many users online complain about the same. The one clue I had was my request for a suspicious scammer to post a picture with a specific object just to see if his pictures really belong to him. I suspect the site is hacked, desired profiles are identified and then stolen. The user is then displaced from the account. POF had been acquired by Match.com but nobody seems to be responsible for the site now. People should be warned and the company investigated.

I signed up for POF after my divorce in 2014. I had several dates from the site, and a 7 month relationship. But I was just about done with online dating, when he messaged me. I honestly thought he seemed like TOO nice of a guy for me. We joined each other’s Facebooks and communicated that way. It took me a couple months before I said yes to a date. And it was the best decision of my life. After being in a rough marriage for so many years, this was such a welcomed change. Things blossomed fast. We moved in together for a year and just got married this past April. My children adore him and he feels the same about them. This was the best thing that could of happened to me. AND him. ;) So, online dating is NOT all that bad. Just have to keep an open mind and just have fun.

I was on PoF for a few days... it was depressing. For some reason, PoF seems to attract a low grade of person. Compared to any number of other dating sites -- such as OKCupid (where I met a wonderful woman I am now deeply committed to) or Match -- PoF seems to scrape the bottom of the barrel, for whatever reason. It was dismal. Okay, fine. Then I cancelled my account, or I thought I had. Then, two months later, PoF charged me again. I called them to request a refund, but they have a "policy" that says that when they steal your money, it's theirs, gotcha! Okay, I understand: everybody has to make a living, even pickpockets. So I canceled AGAIN, this time telephoning PayPal to make sure all the i's were dotted and such... hopefully these petty crooks are out of my life forever. My advice: stay far away from these bottom-feeders. And happy dating-- elsewhere.

At this time the representative inquired why I was cancelling my subscription at which I advised her of same. She apologized for any inconvenience and we got off the phone. In Sept. my bank statement revealed a withdrawal in the amount of 38.50 at which time I called a second time repeating my expressed dissatisfaction and requested a refund along with an assured cancellation from my account. Then Friday the 13th of October they did it again. I just got off the phone with their customer service who indicated there was no record of me ever calling that she would delete my profile; which the first 2 emails never said anything about and that I'd get my refund within 1 to 10 business days.

There's no way to show your profile to only POF users. You can "hide" your profile, but then people can't find you. It defeats the purpose of having an account. That's more for users who just want to take a break. Your information is completely public to everyone on the internet, even if they don't have a POF account. I don't feel comfortable with that at all! Many accounts haven't been active in months, some years! I ran into an account that hasn't been active since 2013.

I think it is just the online dating culture period. I have tried Match, Christian Dating for Free, Christian Cafe and POF. They all suck because of these general reasons. Only people with loser personalities (superficial, slobby, stupid, fake, creepy, criminal and insecure) tend to hang out online. It makes perfect sense... They know they can hide behind a computer. If any real person met them in real life they would be rejected immediately. My experiences have been real common with most other men's. Out of the 5 I used I batted .500 I guess. One date from Match and one from POF. The one from POF was alright. One from POF was a nut bag. Most other sites were catfish. The thing you could never get used to was the messages of (don't contact me unless you're a certain age, this, that, whatever.)
I even saw a piece of garbage in my area Gadsden, AL named (Hollen) who wrote this on her profile. Funny thing was, I saw her on twitter and thought hey- that girl is interesting. Then saw her again on POF. Boy, what a shock to find out she was such a loser. Made me glad I had unfollowed her months before. Of course, you get those that are just looking for self-esteem. You know the deal guys... You send them a message then hey they respond. You talk for awhile then when it comes time to suggest a meeting or e-mail exchange... "Ghosted." Of course they are the same ones that are usually overweight. Let me say this, I give those types women a chance... I don't want to be superficial trash like so many on online dating but this is standard behavior for obese women who are just there to have a guy talk to them, even if you give them a chance and agree to a meeting. All the sudden whammo... No more messages.
Had a few instances of sending messages and women first looking at my profile and then deleting my messages without even reading them. Complete white trash behavior!!! I would never dream of doing that to anyone. I did enjoy posting a comment about how Halloween was not here yet you can take your mask off. She did read that and did not get the humor as she wrote in response Huh! Dumb, Dumb! Then POF lies to you immediately every day by saying you have a "mutual match" "who is interested in meeting you." Of course you send a message only to find that they really are not as they don't reply or have not logged on for months. What CRAP!
I had a two-month subscription paid that I was smart enough not to renew (payers be careful). They have automatic renewal so go into your account settings and TURN IT OFF or you will be charged past the time you delete your account. I had a plan to just keep a profile up and attend events or host them in my area of Gadsden or Birmingham. I took an hour or two just to review all profiles in these locations. I realized I would not ever meet anything but trash if I met these people in person and made the glorious and triumphant decision to just DELETE everything and get on with my life. Bye losers... And thanks for the memories!

First off I am a real person from Memphis, TN. I said Memphis lol no one really wants to live in Memphis these days, I don't. Anywho, I am writing this because I was on POF like 4 years ago. I was bored and just wanted to pass time. I was about to get off (cancel page) because the females on there just wanted to be seen and not heard UNTIL I saw her. I can't remember who reached out to who 1st but it was probably me that reached out because she was on there just for the games. Once we started talking I learned that her conversation was great. Eventually we hung out with each other and we enjoyed each other’s company.
That was almost 4 years ago, fast forward to TODAY (10-5-2017)... in 10 days we will have our 1 year anniversary of marriage. Yes we got married on 10-15-2016.

I wish I could say I was happy with this site, but I'm very disappointed. I joined POF.com hoping to find a future partner/husband. Many men on this site lie about what they are looking for.

I clearly stated on my profiles "looking for someone to marry" or "want a relationship", but I found myself used by some of the "men" on there. Not happy, as I had developed feelings for these guys.

Many years ago when I was in this site everyone that I meet only wanted one thing and the one person that seemed genuine ended up being a fraud himself. Maybe it was pure bad luck on my part but a friend of mine was also on POF and was swindled out of $10,000. Now 10 years later my brother started using this site still claiming they are free. While he was on their site something popped up saying buy chips to put your message at the top so he bought $2 of chips and they took the $2 from his account.
When my brother wrote the company (Markus) I do believe and said he wanted them to be aware that he has had several woman pretend to be someone and then these woman try to get money from him. He went on to say anytime someone would give him her phone number it would automatically block them from speaking to each other and that he will not use the site anymore. That day they pulled $40 from his bank account. I was with him the whole time and he never authorized this.
What kind of company claims they are free then charges for fake upgrades and then continue to take money whenever they want. I understand they have to make money to keep the site up but why be so dishonest about it. It has been proven to me that this site is a gateway for people to pretend to be someone they are not and predators (from my experience) from other countries to scam naive victims that are looking for love. If you do not believe me then go ahead and give it a try. I hope you don't fall victim to any on these horrible people not to mention the dishonesty of the company itself.

POF.com is free and safe. They have covered all areas from where they live, what they like to do, what they look like, their ages, their careers, and educational life. POF.com gives you the option of taking to who you want and block out if you feel uneasy. We have plenty of chatrooms. You can talk one-on-one or you can talk in groups and you can go incognito where you're just off the map for a little bit. I have meet a lot of interesting people. I like it. It takes a questionnaire to sift through people then makes matches then shows you pictures to allow you to pick through the ones you want, give you the option how close they are to you.

But I don’t feel like POF understands my complexity when pairing me with matches. My overall experience was pretty good, but I doubt I will be finding my forever match through POF.

POF.COM is One Of the Worst. I closed my account after 3 months. I liked that it was a free service. However, the old adage of "you get what you pay for" rings true. If you spend nothing you get nothing. Sadly I seemed to only be matched or contacted by men who were seeking only sexual encounters. Nearly all the messages I received were inappropriate despite a CLEAR profile stating what I was seeking... NOT sex! I would refine the search criteria. While you can be matched to people local to you it seems you are ONLY matched by that component alone. If they had a way to match people based on mutual interests it might be better to use.

I Googled to get a phone number which was given as 800 252 0044; I tried many times before someone picked up. I just needed them to send an email to change my password. They said I had to be at my computer (I was at work) for them to assist and they told me to call back at 855 255 1999. I did later in the day and against my better judgment, I let them in to my computer to "fix" the problem.
I should have known better. I had a similar experience a couple of years ago when I let someone else remotely access my computer to make it run better. They tried to tell me I had ransomware and my firewall was not working. I knew this was a lie and they put the ransomware on. I told them I knew this was a scam now and hung up.

POF is an untrustworthy site. Every male that gives this company a dime of their money is being scammed. Over 70 percent of the accounts on there are fake, bots or someone posing to be a woman. Also, watch out for scammers such as the ones that send you random links to click on, by using temptation. Am I wrong? No! I literally proved it! I exposed over 100 accounts on there; all of which were fake accounts or a males posing to be a woman. The bots are the ones that delete your message without even reading it.
The reason that this site uses bots is because they want to pose as if they are popular, but in reality they aren't, so they have to create 100s and 100s of fake accounts to convince tempting males to sign up. Sure, I found dates on there, but any woman above a 7 is most likely not who they claim to be. I have a firm belief that POF is actually creating bot accounts and even using “real” people to message back. Go find another dating site and don’t ever give a penny to these frauds.

Also have two types of categories like a speed date/blind date kind of thing, have the option to meet up if wanted and with options to receive ice breaker gifts like gift cards or flowers and chocolates or even have the option of secret admirer and instead of having the option like on the profile page how some sites have the choices single, married but looking, or do you care.

We started to communicate via text messaging when he began to ask me very personal questions, such as, do you live alone and he became VERY interested in wanting to know what I did for a living. He also demanded that I send him a pic of myself so he could keep it on his cell phone and he told me he was going to add my cell # to his address book. I became very suspicious and told this man I was going to call him.
When I called his cell phone # he answers and has a very strong foreign accent. The phone connection was very bad but I could hear a lot of loud barking of dogs in the background. Scary right!? Well, believe me that's wasn't the end of it. I understand it is the responsibility of the user to protect their safety when on these sites, but POF needs to take responsibility to make sure it is a safe site for its users as well. POF not only advertises the site is 100% free to use (which it is not) but it also advertises the site is safe and that they screen all profiles. How can they screen these profiles when the majority of the profiles are fake! I am trying to get a class action lawsuit against POF. If anyone is interested, call me at ** and we will try together to make sure POF is penalized for its fraudulent advertising and unsafe practice.

I like that POF it's free but what I don't like is that sometimes when you trying to send a message to people it does not let you know that your message was not sent. It's almost like they block it. I've had to send the same message right in different ways and it finally goes through. If you're ever sending a message to a person you're interested in, pay attention to see if it says responded after you send it coz I didn't and I had multiple people asking why I never responded and I look back in my sent box and POF never sent it. Kind of a bogus deal. I'm a non-paying member so maybe that's how they get you.

POF.com benefits the users wants. There is every type from one night stand to settling down or just a friend. The best thing about pof is that it doesn't cost anything or credit card signup all to cancel later. You can converse without paying a penny and I mean all other sites you can't see the message or reply to someone who IMs you as you barely signed up which is the sign of BS.

The problem with POF is that there is NO customer service. It says there is yet there is NO WAY to contact them... They have 'Moderators'. who knows what kind of cretins they are. One only has to fall foul of one of these creatures... or someone who knows one. Then you will find yourself unable to log in. That's it. Goodbye. No chance of making contact with them. It actually says 'if wrong password' etc etc. (which it never is obviously). They will send a link to log in... NEVER ARRIVES. Apparently the females are allowed to show any kind of picture... good bad & ugly. Say anything they wish... insult you in any way they wish. Yet saying you aren't interested in fat women... old... infirm... unfit etc. Will get you complaints of typical leftards. Reply & use any words they deem unsuitable. Lo & behold... Unable to log in. It is a joke.
Yes there are plenty of nice women. I usually get lots of mail... but I admit I am fussy.

POF.com was very easy to use and I did enjoy using it. It is easy to communicate with others and I didn't have to pay so that was a big plus. But that's where it gets tricky too, because if something is free more people are more likely to join. The negative side is most of the guys were trashy and only looking to get laid. They came off really creepy, and I was very unsuccessful in finding a match or even a date. I didn't like the type of guys that were on there. But if you had to pay to be on there, there would be more genuine people looking to find their soul mate. Some others may have luck on this site. If you take the time you could find a decent match.

Should you decide to open an account, be clear with what you want and your standards.
I went on a few dates, and in January 2016 a guy messaged me. The message made me laugh, so we messaged a little and exchanged numbers. The first date was o.k., glad we went on a couple more dates. It was not love at first sight. :) But we are so in love now! And it is the man I plan on growing old with. We have had a fantastic year living together and I am looking forward to a loving fun filled life with my man.

And most of the messages I got were only about sex and the personal messages are received from guys that already had girlfriends but wanted someone on the side. That is not what I am looking for on my profile. I specifically said relationship. The age differences in most of them were not what I was looking for too. I don't think I would find a long-term relationship on this site. I found it very entertaining though that there was some really nice and respectful guys that I would consider meeting in a public place. I exchanged numbers and messages with them but I lost contact with them after a few months. I didn't actually meet anyone in person off of Plenty of Fish.
There are quite a few really creepy people on this site that really disturbed me. This is why I uninstalled the app. Plenty of Fish should change the criteria that match up each person including the locations to be more specific and the profile settings for each person to make it easier to find a true match. There should be specific questions to weed out the people that are there just for sex and not be able to message someone that is looking for a relationship.

I've used POF many times over the years and I've learned many things about the site. When I first started using the site I wasn't getting very many messages and I didn't know why. I did everything that I was supposed to. I had pictures I had an interesting bio and I even made the first impression most of the time but still no one would reply back. Then I asked myself, maybe these women are just shallow and only go for looks. So I created another account and to my surprise I was right. I messaged a few of the same people who I messaged on my other account to see if they'd actually reply and they did. More than half of the women replied back just because they preferred looks over personality.
That's not the only thing wrong with the site though. Many of the women on there are very immature and aren't serious about dating. Even though they view my profile after I message them they still don't reply back. I've actually messaged them back a few asking what gives and one girl told me something I'll never forget. I asked her why she didn't reply back and she said "Because I don't give a **!" Which made me think what's the point of even being on here if you're not even serious about dating? All you're doing is wasting people's time if you're not actually going to put any effort into trying. The whole site is just very very stupid. For that reason I'll never go back. Until the women on there take a step outside their alter egos and realize they need to grow up and that they're not as great as they think they are I'm done. It's not worth my time to fool around if they don't even know what the hell they're doing.
