Total deadbeat, going through a divorce, only looking for a woman go help him pay his bills. Separated married to a drunk bipolar wife in a rehab center. First date insinuated that his wife is breaking their lease and he needs help paying rent at his sister's and the 1800 rent that he owes to the landlord! Ladies throw this dead fish back! Bald, fat and broke!

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

This site is horrible. Lots of fake accounts and scammers. I have no problem calling it out or reporting. I'm the one who gets penalized because they close my account and don't even say why. So some scammer gets mad at you and reports some stupid lies and they believe it? They need to get their crap in order and do a better job at stopping the fakes. I don't recommend this awful site

This site is the bigger Scam ever.
When you sign up, you get 50+ views and Likes within 24 hours…then, as soon as you pay, everything stops.
I see profiles with images from 2008 on here….utter BS!

The point of this site is to keep you clicking and on here to make them money.

SCAM!

Do not use this site! Too many issues to list, the worst of which is their practice of auto renewing.

If you sign up be prepared to see 'CAN'T SEE LIKES MESSAGE ME' virtually all the time as an introductory headline

It never enters their tiny mind that everyone else says the same. It never enters their head to pay for the site. Surely if you're that determined to find the man of your dreams you'd be happy to pay a few quid.
Can't see likes is just really lazy and unoriginal.
My take is that It's full of immature time wasters who thrive on gossip drama and narcissism

Avoid

Verified purchase

Total waste of time, and lures from notifications someone likes you start coming in and requests to meet and likes. Once you pay to respond theres crickets as its obviously Bots to trick you into membership.
This is why there is a mandatory 3 month fee for 66.00 as you will find out its worthless. No refunds.

Tip for consumers:
A quick buck scheme.

I've never seen anything like it. I'd rather be single.

The women are not attractive; they are all out of shape, mostly single parents. They all seem to be aged between 35 and 45, yet they look a lot older.

If that's not bad enough, they don't even seem like pleasant people; they all come across as having chips on their shoulders; they're borderline illiterate; and they seem to have no filters.

Tip for consumers:
Full of fakes and cast offs.

I've never seen so many one parent families in my entire life. All telling you how their children will always come first + how you must impress /make them laugh. I didn't see anything of what they would bring to a relationship

Also ridiculous number of narcissists with nose piercings on there.

Add in the fact there's probably 500 men for every woman and you'll see what a total waste of time it is. The people on there are truly horrendous yet seem to think they are deserving of a prince charming.

I've never seen so many single mums, fakes and unattractive women in my life.

It's full of 2s who think they are 10s

I've never seen so many overweight women with tattoos and no personality who act like they're a great catch.

If you saw them in a bar you wouldn't go near, yet online they act deluded and childish. Online dating is a waste of time

If you do find a decent woman she'll be sent that many messages by simp thirsty men that she'll be totally overwhelmed you won't get a reply.

There must be at least an 90% ratio of men to women, which means you'll be competing with thirsty, desperate men all the time, and that renders it pointless. Secondly, there's very few decent women on there anyway. Even the very best online would only be classified as middling offline, and the rest are truly mediocre. The one thing they're all extremely good at is being demanding, picky, and immature.

Do they not realise that demanding someone over six foot tall is utterly insane? Especially when they're only five foot three

Ps what's with all the tattoos, large oversized glasses and nose rings?

Tip for consumers:
It's the equivalent of scraping a barrel

I met a woman named Sandy, talked nice and smooth. Then the price came. She claims she worked for AT&T and asked me to order seven cell phones and put them on her credit card never met her. I don't know what someone would need seven cell phones for? Be mindful of who you give your information to

I was extremely disappointed in Plenty of Fish. I paid for this app yes I was so dumb. The scammers came through by the droves. First they kept asking me to get back on Whatsapp, Google Chat and my email. I quickly learned that is very common for scammers. When I felt comfortable talking we exchanged numbers texting and talking. Now I found that 4 out 5 were false identity and blocked them. The one who put it over the edge was I had texted, talked and eventually met a couple of times. After the last time we saw each other I just knew something was really off so I did my own research. This man not only went by a fake name on POF, he said he has been divorced for 5 years of which was a complete lie. Ladies he pretends to be a real cowboy and yes he is good looking. Don't fall for it! P.S. He lives in the San Bernardino mountains.
Well now I'm off POF and all dating sites. Being a widow just makes me appreciate my late husband more. Ladies be careful!

Tip for consumers:
The fact that there are so many married men using fake names and complete fake lives! I have learned more than I ever thought possible and not in a good way!

Just wanted to warn Toronto users out there of a plenty of fish account called "Shivelle" also "ShivelleEee", she goes by other names too. She is a scammer and will try to meet you in real life and get you to give cash to her to help buy drinks so she can run away. Report her profile if you see her and don't meet up with her. I have attached pictures and a video of what she looks like

The females all seem to be 2/10 in the looks dept and even worse, 1/10 personality wise. They all seem very angry and bitter, not to mention extremely deluded.

If you can find anyone who has bothered to fill their bio out properly, you're doing well. Most are either very abrupt or just blank.

Sadly, if you think you will find anyone remotely cheerful, even average-looking/ a nice person, you will be extremely disappointed.

I honestly wouldn't waste your time

I've turned in at least 30 fake profiles and scammers. The department that deals with us did not take five of these scammers off one of them had a American actor on it and they still want to take it off so I wouldn't advise going there

There are alot off scammers and fake profiles

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.

Once you pay to get access you find that 95of women's profiles are marked "disconnected". Of the remaining if you write to anyof them you find that most never even get read, leading you to assume the're probably bogus ones they made up for show. Of course there are the endless prostitution officers every day which they con't apparently screen.
Years ago it was a good site where you could search to find singles with the same occupations, hobbies, etc. but not any more.

POF is useless, I switched to
FlingEasy.com
I had been looking for a site like this for a long time and my perseverance paid off. I found a place that fitted me best with awesome girls who wanted a real thing. I was happy to forget about POF like some of nightmare going away in the morning when I finally managed to cancel my subscription and remove my profile.
POF is a pointless and stupid waste of time! You waste it writing to bots, they "like" you and initiate first contact to entice you into paying. Then they forget about you and move on to a new user.

Billy Thomas lives in Newport news, has a record, total deadbeat, doesn't pay his child support, but has money for cigs and beer and the custom blue lighting kit for his car, 40 years old nothing to his name, but an old car with 100,000 miles on it. Thinks he's the bomb because he's tall and skinny but, he's far from it! He's out for one thing and one thing only. He talks a good game, but he's not even involved with his kids on a day to day basis. He had a child with a woman and couldn't even commit. If you want someone that's just out for a piece of $#*!, a bum going nowhere, and can't sustain himself in bed this is your guy! Ladies beware. He does carpet installation with a company that is a contractor for the government for a living. A total tool. Learn from my mistake.

They deleted my account literally after thanking me for reporting a scammer, to which they banned them. I had just gotten the app for a week and decided to put 30$ on if the day before i was banned. Never pay for their service. Plus over half the users are inactive and the rest are bots. Seriously. It's a scam.
