Top Critical Review

“SEEK LOVE IN PERSON”

Anaya S.
8/17/23

If you are a woman seeking the old version of LOVE including honesty security and above all safety. Men on this site are predators of vulnerable women and free sex. Most do not upgrade shave or have clean shaven presentation. It's a DATING HACK for lazy self care people. Now messed up by human trafficking under cover cops and transgender.

If you are a woman seeking the old version of LOVE including honesty security and above all safety. Men on this site are predators of vulnerable women and free sex. Most do not upgrade shave or have clean shaven presentation. It's a DATING HACK for lazy self care people. Now messed up by human trafficking under cover cops and transgender.

Tip for consumers:
When I did feel safe enough to share my number men texted sexual messages naked photos. Not just nice conversations about my day or meeting so I blocked them over and over. My fiance committed suicide so I was on off for years till well and the SAME men were on site only longer beards scruffier. Most have DOGS most have injuries very few healthy happy men wanting LOVE. FREE PORN is their goal. I changed my profile name and pictures hoping to attract different type of man to no avail.

POF will delete your profile and keep your money with no explanation whatsoever. The site blocked and deleted my profile with no explanation because once they delete your profile you can not contact customer service to obtain a reason and they don't give refunds for paying for the service. I joined for 6 months and within hours the email notification me that I was deleted. No explanation. Out of the 26 women who supposedly were interested in meeting, none were the type you would want to meet. The software is a scam! The site doesn't deserve a star.

Tip for consumers:
It’s clear that if you don’t fit their idea of valued customer or that they say you violated some rule with no explanation they will block you for life.
Another case of show me the evidence or proof of accusations but it’s clear they’re not going to ever do that. Total scam. 98% of the women are old, overweight and ugly.

Rejoined the site hope to find a loving partner, Not many had a couple so far do not know about single mom's yet I do know is you will get someone to respond then well sorry mate you are just not my type. Lol I have a month on the site and do not like my chances of finding her on POF either, Probably better off staying single or play with myself [lol] Nah the site is not worth your time effort or even your dollars. Proof of my purchase is in my BILLS.

The new owners have allowed and added many fake profiles. They highly restrict your contact activities. Saying you have to wait 24 hrs but actually after each messages its much longer than 24 hours. Plus they now drop conversations that you have started and only let you continue conversations for a very short time.

You look for people around your age, and grandma starts sending you likes. The people that I did talk to never ever wanted to meet thinking there bots. Would never recommend this dating site, the worst one out there. Well at least i met someone on Tinder WITH HEAD LICE!

When you let POF know on your profile that there is crypto scammers in the site, POF will block your account preventing you from logging back in. The error screen is my proof of purchase and scam that they do. Do not go to POF site at all it's a scam from India.

Tip for consumers:
POF will steal your money and not refund you knowing that they are scamming people

The women have all the attitude of Jennifer Lopez but all the looks of H1lary Clinton and that's the problem. Dreadful women having an attitude is completely ridiculous and this site is full of them

Very few can even be bothered to fill the biography section out. If they do, it's just complaints or demands.

The most depressing website I've ever seen in my life

This is the worst dating site. It of full of BOT profiles that POF puts up and 90% of the other profile are disabled from messaging. This is POF's way of making the site look like there are more profiles then there really are. It is very rare that a real person is actually behind the profile.
Avoid this site, POF is run by scammer and encourages scammers to join to make their membership look better.

There is no way to input and/or search by my preferences in a mate so it's all up to POF who in turn wants me to check out males twenty years younger and inches shorter.

Scammers abound and there are plenty of men posting pictures that are not their own. For example, one man posted a picture of Albert Einstein, confirmed by Google. Reported to no avail, it's still there. Others post pictures of their cats, dogs, unknown females, sunset, numerous vehicles without a rider, phone numbers in the About section, and more. Some even get away with having multiple profiles.

Reports fall on deaf ears. Men members are allowed all this, while I, a female, posted a photo of an open road and it was taken down. Can't vouch what is done to the other female posts as I can't view them.

Am not paying a penny to this site because I don't think it's worth it. The only good thing is that you can write your About section practically freehand and that you can still get somewhere as a not a paid member.

Tip for consumers:
Be extremely careful, watch for the catfish, check phone numbers if they are VOIP. Don't pay a penny either to the site or to the members contacting you.

Many maybe 80% of the ads are fake
Girls ad say bald Grey. Incorrect hair color. I've reported probably a hundred which pof reviewed and said they banned but they let it continue or worse are part of the scam
Especially with no refund policy
Wish a federal agency could look into them and close them and all the scam artists dowm

"Cant see likes, cant see likes, cant see likes message me". That's what at least 90% of the headlines from women say
Don't they realise nearly every other woman has pout the same or don't they care? Why cant they make an effort or tell me more about themselves? It just comes across and lazy and unoriginal to put "cant see likes", when I see that I have no interest, if they were serious they would pay or at least fill their bio out with something positive. Who wants to see negativity?

Also "I know my worth and not prepared to settle" might look good in a magazine but when you are 45 and have a lot of baggage it just looks absolutely ridiculous.

This site should be called Plenty of Catfish! There are more scammers and catfish on this site then actual people. It's a complete waste of money. Additionally there's no where to put the type of preferences you want in a mate. There is also no customer service to call everything is done via email.
Save yourself some time and money and steer clear of this site.

The creators of Plenty of Fish has no business sense, and this day's economy they expect people to pay for a 3-month membership, we all know that it's crazy, plenty of information make much more money if they do the membership monthly for $20, this way people can pay for one month at a time that can't afford to pay for 3 months. Whoever is doing Plenty of Fish advertisement and membership fees are not smart business people. They're losing more money and gaining none with that 3-month startup fee.

The standard is very low, which I half expected
What I didn't expect was to find these bottom ten percenters sitting on their phone with an atrociously entitled attitude, wanting the world and giving nothing back. Their entitlement is embarrassing considering what they bring to the table

Can't see likes - Make me laugh - If you want to know ask...
They're some of the repetitive headlines I saw a lot, until I lost interest. MENSA it isn't.

Good luck trying to find someone even half normal. I'll leave it to the simps.

I've never seen so many one parent families on a site. It's depressing, all of them can't wait to tell you how their children will always come first. Add in lots of overweight women, lots of women covered in tattoos and females lacking even basic education and it's a terrible place to try and find a partner.

If that's not bad enough, they all sit there saying they're looking for Mr Right and are currently taking applications. I've never seen so many deluded, bitter, spiteful, arrogant, ego-driven, messed-up people on one site. You have absolutely no chance of finding anyone remotely half decent/normal. They have no self-awareness at all.

Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy

I have double checked my only 2 emails I am using, and do not have an active account with pof. Yet somehow someone was able to send me a screenshot of my profile there yesterday. The properties of this picture also were dated Aug 3. I contacted pof with proof of identity but they are not willing to help me with the email used, they say I have to log in with the email the account was created with, no care that someone may have stolen my picture or created a scam account.

This site was decent 4 or 5 years ago but even better a decade ago. Now that tinder came up. It's absolutely trash. They claim there a free site n now all the sudden they charge n limit messages. What's sad is everyone is moving on. Stupid owner doesn't realize how to compete and move forward

Male looking for Female. The site offered 202 females as recomended for me 15 per page w picture. Tap on picture to see picture assortment with profile only to find "Janie has disabled messaging for now, try sending a like instead!". Janie has left the site and is never coming back. Of my 202 recommended women to meet 111 were DISABLED. I thought I was in the Special Olympics of dating sites. On each page of 15 over half are bogus. Go ahead pour your heart out to a, "Like", that will never answer. The time wasted looking is more than most could bare.

Tip for consumers:
the site is free with a hook to ease the initial pain

I'm new to FL, only a couple weeks. Went on pof to make friends, meet people. 3 bad situations Pof didn't protect me from but here's one. Nice enjoyable Convo til guy says we'll be at (weird name that meant nothing to me). He called me a c*** because I didn't know what it meant. I went to the page to report on pof. Easy to fill it out, but no way to submit it. POF doesn't care about harm at all.

The features of the website have drastically declined since it was sold to Match Group. Now you can't even delete messages out of your sent box. Can only delete messages from your inbox so if you send message that is never answered that sent message will have to remain in your sent box forever. The customer service sucks as they are not able to understand or address this problem. Also there is no screening of new profiles so I find a lot of fake profiles of women saying they're in their sixties or seventies with pictures of women who are no more than 35 years old just looking to find foolish older men to scam. If you aren't expecting much from this website and careful then it can't hurt to try it

Tip for consumers:
Don't pay for membership

Instead of using the headline section for a friendly opener, most of them just complain

Constantly telling you they can't see likes, totally oblivious to how many others are saying exactly the same

Very few women actually make the effort to impress a potential partner, they're more concerned with complaining and demanding.

Lots of them just come across as extremely picky and very bitter.

You are dealing with very low-quality females who expect to find the man of their dreams, regardless of their looks, attitude and amount of baggage they have. The worse they are, the pickier they seemingly become, which sums online dating up.

Most seem to have difficulty even forming a sentence and seem to dislike men because of what's happened in their past. Lots of them can't even smile in their photos. The messages I had were from people who had no idea how to have a conversation that didn't involve LOL.

Just an unfriendly, toxic site.
