Full of leftover brats with headlines of:
"Can't see likes message me"
"Could you be the one"
"Looking for me?"
"Send me a message I don't bite"
"Tall tatts and beards this way"
To name a few
A lot of the worst looking ones have message preferences on. They Should be happy to get any messages
Seen one profile of a very overweight woman who demanded a man be tall dark and handsome with a beard and tattoos and then it said "I'm no skinny girl or clear skinned so if that's not what your after jog on". You'd think if they have to type what mr perfect gets in return you'd realise you're being too picky but theyre so thick it doesn't cross their tiny minds.
Was last on here in 2019 and
5 minutes hadnt past where I kept seeing the same women on there from back then with the same smug photos up.
No man wants to date them that's why they are still on there
Very obvious they watch too much tv
Sums the site up
Never seen anything quite like it….
Basically very low tier females competing for the top 5% of men and even then they would find faults.
They're unattractive with baggage, attitude and yet seem to have headlines of "are you what im looking for" or "could you be the one" and my personal favourite "I want a man not a boy".
Spoilt brats who obviously watch way too much tv so they go in this pull the most smug faces in their photos and as always a ridiculous amount of makeup yet the man must complete a 20 point checklist to get a reply. You couldn't make it up.
I don't understand how a woman with multiple kids to different men can have such an attitude and entitlement yet the 'curvier' they are the pickier which sums it up.
Stay away gents, they will make you feel horrible about yourself.
As others say here they are the leftovers no man wants and that's why they're on there.
I will never use this dating site again EVER! It is full of drama, creepy people who have issues, lovebomb you when they haven't even met you, say they want to help you, but make you feel uncomfortable UM NO! Im shy, quiet, and will stay that way thanks to this creepy website of people who call or text you from 1-4am. Ill die single and alone thank you or have issues like not divorced even a year, put down their ex, and are barely sober from alcoholism. Um no thanks POF such be called Plenty of Losers!
I have been on/off POF for four years now and it is the worst! No one wants a serious relationship and its full of men who want to have a hookup, are unemployed, disabled, addicts, toxic kids, Exs, you name it and its full of scammers who claim to be one place only to be in Texas or Africa. Not a good site at all its worse than a bar and its full of creepy people who could be in prison or group state funded homes. I havent met one relationship or the men look worse or old enough to be my dad. No thanks they are the worst dating site Ill stay alone!
POF will randomly lock you out of your account and not notify you when or why they did it.
They will not respond to any request for support, leaving your personal info and status unknown to the user.
Pof is just full of single moms who all can't wait to tell you their children will always come first, but they expect you to make them your top priority and be happy to settle down with another man's children. If the children are that important why aren't they still with the father?
There are Lots of people who can't be bothered to say anything, apart from how they can't see likes or how time wasters need to keep away.
I don't want to give it even one star. It's full of dreadfully classless people
App deleted
If you're a three out of ten you should go for the same in a partner or maybe a bit higher at the most
The problem is on the pof the women who are 3s and 4s all expect to get a man who is a nine or a ten. It's absolutely insanity. They don't want a good man like they claim. They demand the perfect man of the dreams
Most don't seem to have a personality either and are either unemployed or are dog walkers yet want a man with a great job and who makes them laugh.
Wanted M4M matches 33% of them were Female, sent snips of the profiles or':Recommended Matches, no action take and when I canceled the photos and were still there, meaning no room for new and correct matches.I also cancelled to avoid a renewal and the remaining month of access was also cancelled. I feel taken and wonder if there wasn't a homophobic aspect to this. My headline was specific and stated that while I respect everyone's' right to have their life as they need, I only wanted CIS (M4M) matches. Very very disappointing experience and customer service experience.
I nearly fell off my chair with laughter at the entitlement in the profiles on that site
Everywhere I looked large women with even larger chips on their shoulders demanding you have to be minimum six feet tall to get a reply and if they don't reply you're just not their type hahahahahaha. I couldn't breathe with laughter
The women are so bad they should be grateful to get any interest, the fact they think they can be picky tells me all I need to know about this site. Not for me. Good for a laugh though
The females on POF all seem to believe they are princesses. They will only reply if you have the 6/6/6. Six figures in the bank, six feet tall, and a six-pack.
The hilarious thing is that they are the exact opposite of what they demand.They're short, distinctly average,and out of shape.
They'll be on this site forever because their standards are totally unrealistic.
Was a nice site when founded in 2003. What most people do not realize is that the site has since be sold to a dating giant -along with its good reputation- who changed the whole setting - and the reputation as well. Looks like present owner knows how to earn money and probably went into data sharing (selling?) business; anyway, there seem to be now a lot of people who have quite other ideas in their heads but dating...
I met Bruno 3 years ago. He has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and narcissistic tendencies. He mentally and physically abused me and was charged with 5 counts of assault. He also verbally and sexually abused me and treated me with complete disrespect. This man is very sick and dangerous. He appears to be charming and friendly but he is not. Please ladies do not engage or get involved with this man He will hurt you and destroy you.
I added his profile picture from POF.
I met Bruno Poirier on POF(Profile name: Bestdude009) he is mentally ill - schizophrenic and bipolar. He verbally and physically abused me. Called me names such as: ugly single mother, dirty whore, nasty slut, bitch, loser... he also physically hit me and sexually abused me. He wanted to share me with other men and do gang bang. Last time he hit me the police is now involved and he was charged with assault. Be careful of this sick man he is dangerous.
I stupidly paid for a month. I'm glad it wasn't longer.
My review
I can honestly say I've never encountered so many people with issues in my life. It's just riddled with ignorant egotistical people full of their own self importance.
There are way too many messed up people on POF; it's terrible. I sent nothing but polite messages and got some of the nastiest replies I've ever seen.
Honestly, please don't waste your time. You'll be dealing with people who lack kindness and social skills. If they act this poorly online, can you imagine what they are like in real life?
I had a lucky escape.
There is a probably a nice woman on there somewhere but I didn't find her in 30 days. GL finding her
POF should not be in business because they do not watch who is on their profiles. Nothing but women who solicit prostitution for money.
My experience with POF has been nothing but a nightmare and headache not worth the hassle or your money
All the girls on here are asking for money in return for nude pictures in sex on the phone. You will never meet a decent female on this site. I recommend you don't waste your money unless you want to pay for prostitution.
Please do not use this site as it promotes slavery in Asia. It is well known that Asian gangsters employs slaves for the massive amounts of romance scams on this site.
Corporate fat fuks of the 21st century. Money grubbing 2 year old reetards behind the wheel. Used to be able to message anyone you want and were able to see if your messages were read. Now it's only limited to once per day to message somebody. Who the fuk was drunk to come up with this hazardous idea?
POF is a great example of the quality of person you get on a free dating site.
Most of who can't even be bothered to fill out their profile properly and just whine that they can't see likes. Why on earth would I be interested in someone who is too lazy too fill a bio out?
I would say 90% of the site's users are unmarried mothers
Other traits include being unhealthy, covered in tattoos, having bad teeth, a lack of humour, and a lack of class. You are dealing with terrible people who bizarrely act like they're Cindy Crawford in her prime! The entitlement and delusion is hilarious
If that's not bad enough, they all expect to find someone 6 feet tall and with no baggage!
I have noticed that 90% of the men on POF is 50 years old, come on men put your current age you will stand a better chance of finding someone, be honest some looks like great grandfathers but they are 50. This site is very disappointing looking at all those exposed tattoos and shirtless men. Ladies you can do better I came on this site to see what was available but to my surprise there was nothing. This site is like a box of chocolate, you never know what's inside. Good luck ladies.

15 years ago this site was amazing
Now it sucks.
I cant find people closer than 20 km. I used to be able to
I cant filter women in the ways i want... i used to be able to
I even paid for 3 months and the features still sucked
When i reached out for help they did nothing
I joined hinge and met 10 women the first night
Whoever changed the site setup should be fired
Its a terrible design now
I cant speak to the prifitability but they shouldnt have tamperes qith thw features
I've absolutely no idea what the men are like but the vast majority of women are out of shape and look at least twenty years older than what they claim to be (and that's being polite).
Underwhelming and depressing were my immediate thoughts of this unfriendly dump.
There are also an incredible amount of fake profiles which seem to overwhelm the people moderating the site.
This site is free but you get what you pay for in life
Everyday I got "want to meet you" notifications, I would break the ice and send a message that never gets read or answered, then I noticed by checking the women's profile, that they had not even viewed my profile,but "want to me me"...
Same thing with likes, everyday, "viewed and liked", I would send a message, it never gets answered.
Then there are the pictures of women, same picture, but different profile names, different "intents", different ages, different cities.
POF is garbage, try it if you do not believe me, you will after a few days or couple of weeks.
Do not waste your time or money on this site.
I signed up and saw lots of really unattractive women declaring how they're really picky and how they refuse to settle. (try that in a bar and see how it goes)
When I finished laughing, I logged out and deleted my account.
Answer: Oh yes, they want you to upgrade and pay! But when you pay you will see these profiles who you liked or who liked you disappear. They were nothing but bait-and-switch. You gain nothing when you pay, it's the silliest way to spend money. Are you looking for hook up or relationship? I wanted a relationship and I was really frustrated by Pof. Eventually I found what I was looking for on https://j4l.com/402007 But I've lost nearly a year on Pof. Not to mention emotional drain and money!
Answer: I just deactivated my account. This site is a sewer. Do not pay anything for this site or any site. I searched for free on other site( even paid ones you can search for free) and I saw the same guys on most of the other sites as well. I'm gonna grow old alone unless luck steps in and maybe I'll meet my guy IRL.
Answer: Yes its possible
Answer: Delete AND contact the company. If you know who took your pictures be sure to include the name on the profile that your pictures were used on, so they can deal with that person. Once you have deleted your profile, everything is GONE. I have never had anybody use my pictures on any other sites. I'm no great beauty, that could be the reason, Still, once your profile is deleted, everything is gone.
Answer: You cannot do it from the mobile site. You need to use your search, example safari and look up pof desktop version and go to the help in the top left. It will walk you thru it, if I remember correctly. Good luck
Answer: First, write to POF and explain. Now, and I mean NOW call up your credit card company and tell them what happened. I am sure POF will not contact you. Make sure to use the word "unacceptable" when describing the consumer service to the CC company about POF. Keep all emails too. Please keep me posted. Thanks Ann B.
Answer: STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAMMING SITE! Any good you hear from or about it... DUH ITS THE SCAMMERS THAT WORK FOR EM. I been booted so many times due to unpopularity cuz i wont date trash so i get booted they keep your money they are garbage
Answer: Fake doesn't really describe them... more like downright liars!
Answer: Golden rule #1: Do onto others as you would have them do unto you Golden rule #2: Anything that sounds to good to be true, is not. Golden rule #3: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Answer: POF is not free at all, you have to upgrade; become a paying member to be able to do anything interesting.
