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 too have had bad times at pof. I’ve been kicked off there several times. The guy who runs the place was on a news show about how he helped track down a criminal using the site.
anyways … like I said, I’ve been booted off the site several times. Some get way with a lot, some don’t get away with anything, or even by doing nothing. Not supposed to do this, not supposed to do that, yet others do the same thing and flurish. I dared question the practices there, and I’m on the outside looking in. Long story, but the guy who runs it seems like he’s very biased, controlling, immature and predjudice.
i have to agree that pof even though it is free leaves a lot to be desired. i did not have a problem with the members. it was the admins and their biased treatment of images. they seem to be homophobes or something over there and are very restrictive on the gay/bi male members while allowing the girls to get away with murder.
even though it is free, just not worth the hassle.
LMAO - seems like everyone who is anyone that has gone to POF all have the same results as myself - a waste of time! I cannot believe the number of liars (both women and men) that are on the site who lie about their age, looks, status (single or married)- about 90% of the women I have met had boyfriends already - sooooooooooo I am gonna go back over to myspace (I have alredy met a few women that do seem to be interested - even two of them left the POF site to be on myspace!) Remember folks - you can be anyone you want to be out here in cyberspace!
Now for all the other women out there that have run into nothing but jerks:
1. I am definately single!
2. I am 100% honest on every site that I am on
3. I update my photos at least once every 3 months
4. I do not run away from any dates that I have setup
5. I have not messaged anyone for sex (either in person or by phone LMAO!)
6. I have a full time job and love my music in my offtimes
There you have it! One honest person here that is not scared to admit it!
