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
Women on PoF are just another example of why (now) jaded over jilted guys like me are “going foreign.”
What do I mean?
Too many “What can you do for me?” and “How much money do you make?” attitudes.
Oh, and I love this one: “My children are my life!” Exactly, I say, so why would a SNK guy want to date you!?
First I have to say that I PREFER a full figured woman,( that means anyone from 5 pounds to 75 pounds over weight.. thats just me ) but I also date women of all shapes and sizes.. I joined Plentyoffish hoping to find someone that would like to go out and do things, dinner,dancing, movies, just be social in general, make friends and hopefully meet “the one”.
I have posted a thoughtful profile put up 8 pictures, I’ve emailed a few women some nice letters introducing myself while telling them a little about me and I’d ask them if they have any interest to email me and say hi..mostly to get no reply OR catty/rude replies or one line responses.
It seems most women don’t want to find a decent man that is also a proud dad.
On PoF it seems the better your picstures the more people will add you as a “favorite”.
I’ve taken my profile down for now but I may go back again, I’m not sure.
Or maybe its a sign of these times when old fashioned values are no longer part of the dating system.
This a good site to find out the truth quickly about the woman I will say that for pof they have built the site well in that order and i commend them for it. I am a attractive single parent with a good future looking to find a genuine good person to marry. This is not the site to find that. about 70% of the woman that claim to not want any “players ” are players themselves. they waste your time talking a little then you realize after you have wasted time that they are just on here for midweek attention.And have no intention of ever going any further. A very good hint to this is on the bottom of the profile at the “appears on — favorites list” this seems to be a score card that these woman get a rush out of how many men will choose them, Not cool, at all . I suggest run from these attention lovers of themselves. but again , thank you pof for designing a good site . just thought i would say my part. oh and 20% are so large they never will get a date , there are 10% good in here , but just as fishing you have weed some out , not all fish are good to take home. thanks tom
