Lots of people, guys and girls, recommend Plenty of Fish online dating (which I dub Plenty-Of-Flesh) because it’s free. I’ve been a member there twice now, and I haven’t been impressed either time.
The site places a lot of emphasis on photos, which has led to people judging one another not by their messages, but solely by looks. I’m not impressed with the forum moderator either, who has a firm yet obnoxious and stuck-up attitude to posts that raise questionable suggestions issues, even with the site.
Many of the people there have been rude and/or full of hot air, both in the forums and through messaging. Even the friendliest of messages went ignored - the sent messages list proved extremely helpful in finding out just where they were going.
Plenty of Fish advertises itself as a dating site, which is my biggest disappointment: the only people who’d enjoy Plenty of Fish are the average loud, outgoing people who already have “great” lives and have no intention of being serious.
As with most other places I’d suggest someone experience it for themselves, if only for them to reach their own conclusion. I’ve had much better results with Match and Perfect Match.
Hi, I've been a matchmaker for many years and have experience with just about every dating site out there. I have thoroughly reviewed and rated the best
I have to agree that POF is more for people/men chasing sex. I was naive in joining…..met 2 guys one an unbelivable player who had no respect for anyone not even himself and very messed up. Another who expected sex after a cheap sunday lunch. both were attractive and charismatic but not wanting any form of relationship. I won’t be internet dating again …..I have too much self respect….but it has taught me a valuable lesson
The Moderators on Plenty of Fish, with the exception of maybe one, are a bunch of fascists. They let people insult and almost libel you in their Forums and if you try to defend yourself, they do stuff like ban you from the Forums for 2 years. That is what a Moderator called “ticketoride” did to me. When I tried to respond to his sarcastic e-mail, i found out he had blocked me. What a man. I sent five messages to the Administrator of the site, an individual who pompously refers to himself as “The Creator”. He didn’t return one. They are really a bunch of messed up people, very snotty and rude. I had fun fighting back after they treated me with such disrespect, but then i got tired of it and just deleted my profile. Those people have real issues.
Plenty of Fish should stand for plenty of freaks or plenty of fakes. I’ve never seen a site that has so many fake people on it and a lot of anti social freaky people too. Too many deceitful people that lie about themselves on their profiles stating false information. There’s nothing but players and fakes on that site. The forums are a joke that has nothing, but a bunch of bitter, immature and whiny cry babies. Nothing but a bunch of trolls on there. They take out their insecurities and frustrations on others in forums, the people that don’t agree with them (trolls). These trolls belittle or insult them so they can feel high and might about themselves. It’s because they themselves are unhappy with their own pathetic lives and are in need of professional help. I would stay away from the forums on POF all together. Those trolls on there that will make you go insane, lose your mind, and leave you an emotional trainwreck. POF is not for the rational, socialized, mentally and emotionally balanced people. One more thing: DON’T FEED THE TROLLS.
