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 don’t always like the ones I meet. But I don’t always like the ones I meet in other ways either. The biggest confusion I find is that I don’t want to just “settle” for the first person I meet, on the other hand, I feel a little like i’m cheating if i talk to more than one person. By the time I meet someone in person, they may feel like we have a relationship going and I feel like i am just learning more about a new friend. I don’t try to lead anyone on and i am completely honest about where I stand,on the other hand i try to be courtious and not talk about things i don’t think they would want to hear. That happens in person too. Why is it that if you aren’t rude people think you have some sort of agenda?
I met a hot… funny…smart…wonderful guy and we dated for a little bit.. that was until his GIRLFRIEND emailed me. Taken guys on a single site! Jerk.
I have met another guy since than on pof and I think this is the real thing for the first time in my life.. so it can work out both ways. wish me luck!
yes i agree there r some bad women and men on here. the guys ive talked to mostly r only after one thing. isnt there any guys that want a real relationship. , and guys that dont judge people there r some honest women on here, im one of them but cant seem to find a nice and real guy.
