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 had one horrible and one dud on this site.
the horrible one was with a guy who had an awsome profile on screen but in person, he was a lecherous, bible quoting Jehovah witness. I was spiritually and emotionally “raped” and dont know why i didnt kick him in the cajones. I learned a valuable lesson and am not going to repeat is..
So you cant always believe what you read.
I have sat and read what everyone has to say. I have to tell you that I can see the point to most everyone’s comments. I have had good and bad experiences on POF as well. It’s really no different then dating any other way I suppose. I have deleted messages and not responded and had it done to me as well. I guess I am just a little more thick-skinned then most. I take that to mean they are simply not interested and I move on. I have had friends that post things that are untrue and old photos. I, myself, don’t understand their way of thinking. I look at it like this…I have nothing to loose. I like to think I’m smart enough to weed through the “JERKS” and find those that are serious. I too have children, and that is very evident upfront. If a man is shallow enough to pass us by because we are mothers that is truly THEIR loss. I am also very outspoken and upfront about most things and I can tell you from experience, most men can’t handle a woman with her own opinion on things. It becomes very frustrating. I urge you women, regardless of size, to be patient. I am trying to be patient as well. There is someone out there for all of us and I have to believe that. Take the time to talk and get to known someone well before meeting and moving on. Look at their profile and if there are any questions of doubt, move on. The “Prefer Not To Say” and blank areas would be a good indicator that he his more then likely NOT worth your time. Having your heart stepped on really stinks. There are no words to describe the feeling of rejection. I hope each and every one of you find happiness no matter what site it may come from. If you can handle a strong woman, feel free to look me up!
Currently, I have the misfortune to join, hoping to find a woman I would have alot in common. Instead, I’ve been given the worst matches known to humanity. Worst yet, the site would not let me become me. They expect me to be a certain way, in order to land the perfect match. What a crock of s**t! That’s why I am closing my POF account, and open an account with a different, free dating site, where I can find the perfect match.
GOOD FRACKIN’ RIDDANCE PLENTY OF FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
