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 met 2 women on POF and went on a date with them. One was local and turned out to be very possesive so I ended that after a month and she was pissed then I met another from another state and that was good for about a year and we visited each other and it was ok and I thought I found Ms. Right for me and was getting ready to move there to be by her but she had issues with her ex and other issues so we ended it and we’re still friends. I’m still on the site as (solome) I don’t blame the site for anything. I just think women there just don’t know what they want or just looking for some fantasy guy to rescue them from the single rut they are in. I respond to all that email me why can’t they do the same. It’s called courtesy.
Most women say they are looking for a nice guy or a good guy that will treat them “like a lady” someone who is honest and likes kids or they say “will only respond if you a picture” I have 6 and they still don’t respond. Well, here I am and no one responds. I think most women on POF are full of hot air. Look for me
I have been on this for almost 3 years and have met 2 ladies that were a waste of time. Most women don’t respond even to a friendly hello. They are looking for a fantasy guy or a younger guy that will come rescue them from the rut they are in and they judge one by the picture. Once I emailed about 100 women at once, fat,skinny,short,tall,ugly,pretty and all races just to see how many would respond and I got 2 emails. I responded to them and never heard from them again. It’s free, what else can I say. I guess I’ll try something else.
