I tried plentyoffish.com and in the 6 six months that I’ve been online only got 3 responces from what I found level of education means zip there and lately they have enforced the requirement that you need to list how much money you make or you will be excluded from searches. As for my experience there it’s been horrible and wasted alot of my time.

They also have alot of problems I.T. related such as: poor thought out advanced search options, and a HUGE security problem where they send reminder e-mails with the users passwords all in plain text everytime they wish to remind you. Trolls rule their forums and instead of the trolls posts being deleted the entire thread gets deleted.

I put up a profile with a pic of my fat self and had many many wimen turn me down.I’d right them poems and flirt and they would never respond.I’d only get responces from fat ugly chicks that were unemployed.
So I went to the gay section of pof and downloaded a gay guys picture.He was really good looking and had a majourly buffed body and my responces increased 100 percent.
I flirted and was nuaghty with all these really hot wimen and they loved me,or,ah, the gay guy.Anyways, it was a lot of fun before they deleted my profile picture for being shirtless.
Even tho all these hot wimen were into talking to me I couldn’t get up the nerve to ask them out cause really I’m just a fat guy living in my moms basement at the ripe old age of forty.ha ha

used this for a few weeks, i met up with one woman, said she was 19 but must have been lying about her age because she looked about 16, and then i had some psycho of an ex boyfriend emailing me warning me off, emailed a lot of women, never really got any responses, seems like theres some strange people on there. stay away.

I have a love/hate relationship with POF. I have tried it on and off for three years. Yes, there are scammers/liars/cheaters but they are on the other sites too, just better hidden and better able to keep a good lie going. In my experience, the majority in the dating world are out to see what they can get off of someone else…whether it be money, free food, sex, or someone to starve off lonliness….the same as other sites, though. POF is free. I entered there knowing the truth behind the facade. What is worse, I wonder….walking into the lion’s den to meet your death or doing so knowing you paid to do it?

As for the love side of the coin, it’s a great site, if you are low income, looking for the unemployed, living on welfare/SSI, living with parents, running from child support arrears individuals. The real daters with class, education, money will not be on this site. The will be on eHarmony or Match. So keep the lower income ppl on the POF site and out of the real dating sites. If one can’t afford a dating site, one can’t afford even half of a date.

I tried POF several times but all I got was a run around. Several times a women would send me an e-mail but everytime I asked for a phone number or tried to meet somewhere in a plubic setting I never got anywhere. It seemed to me that everyone just wanted to send notes back and forth through e-mail and no one was seriously interested in dating. It was a waste of time.

Why on this earth do people use POF is beyond logic. The dating part of it is dreadful. Most of the people you will find in there are just too cheap to a small amount per month to meet posters who are actually interested in meeting others. Because it’s free, you get liars, crooks, thieves and even sexual predators. All they need is software to hide their IP’s and move on to their victims.

As of my past experiences with POF, I have not met one person who was even remotely close to be honest. That’s probably why one will read so many profiles that claims that they are no longer interested in meeting people from POF and that they use it just for the Forums.

Awww the FORUMS! Forums controlled by moderators who are extremely biased in regards to who will get ban or not. In a past experienced, I saw that OP literally insult a poster on many occasions and once the poster had enough, he called the OP an i diot. Guess what? The poster was banned! How’s that for fair play?

I sent an email a few days later asking the reasons for this moderator to ban people while some whom obviously should’ve been before, and he just answered that rules are rules with a link to the site.

This is a gestapo type of forums. They are VERY selective in who stays and who goes not to mention the little fact that some looses their complete profile without any explanations whatsoever. If you were in contact with someone, you just lost her or him.

Also you will notice in the forums that it’s always the same posts that keeps on coming back over and over and over again. Why do people continue to use them is just mind boggling.

Let’s not forget the fact that POF can delete a post or better yet, the thread without any warning whatsoever and even worst…NO REASONS!

I truly dont understand that a service (even if free) can delete anyones profile at any time without reasons. One cant supply a service and play God with it…as far as I am concerned anyway. Perhaps there’s internet regulations out there that would prevent the Nazi owner and his SS troops/moderators…perhaps from different countries? Anyway, I think it’s worth checking and if they are out there, slap POF with them and get that site out of service.

Stay away from Plentyoffish people. I promise you that you will NEVER get anything other than frustration out of it.

Never again, I was stalked and harrassed by someone on Plentyoffish, I reported their profile and the site did not delete this persons account or do anything to protect me. Also I noticed that alot of people use this site to troll for sex. I had to delete my profile from plentyoffish. I could not deal with the IM’s and emails asking for naked pictures and sexual favors. Maybe I should of sent them to adult friend finder!!

The fact that this site is free is nice without any catches.

Markus you are really mean!I really hope you read this! You deleted profiles from Romania and even you dare to block all the profiles now coming from Romania. Why?Are you against Romania??!!You advertise your website as free and can you answer us why you delete profiles only based on the fact somebody coming from East Europe?!

OK, you will mention about scammers, but to block everybody from Romania is a crime. I hope Canada authorities will see this. I hope your website will dissapear very soon, because anybody can create a website with a stupid name and also is plenty of websites right!

Look for a job soon because you will need!
