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 think the problem I found with P.O.F. was in the forums. “Yayawhatever,” is one of the moderators. She is absolutely insane! There is something seriously wrong with her mind. Due to her opinion of herself as “authority,” she ban’s people for no reason. One look at her profile and her pictures, one can understand why that is. She is ugly, mean looking, miserable, and seems to have a knack for taking her failures out on everyone around her. I had also heard from someone and I am not sure if this is true or not, that she was convicted of crimes against children and was homebound due to house arrest. And that is why she volunteerd to be a moderator. As I said, it’s only what I had heard, and when I tried to confirm this thru other moderators, I was not given an answer. I don’t know, but I have a child, and I don’t want to be in anyway associated with someone who would commit crimes against children. P.O.F. seem’s to allow “volunteers,” who are felons. Is this really how you want to find your mate?? Creepy!! The site is unfriendly, full of jerks, and people who violate the laws society passes and P.O.F. accepts that. My advise, STAY AWAY!
It seems as though there are two different type of guys on this site:
1. Guys looking for sex. Period. This seems to account for about 90% of them.
2. Socially inept guys; guys who can’t get a date for a reason.
I’ve had my profile since 2005 and those are the only types of men I’ve met.
I am an intelligent, artistic, musical, 30 year old female with a steady job, average looks, and a heart of gold.
I am considered to have a pretty face with nice hair, but have some extra weight due to a genetic disorder called PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), which I carry well and don’t lie about.
I HAVE BEEN ON THE PLENTY OF FISH SITE FOR 3 YEARS OFF AND ON I HAVE ENCOUNTERED ALOT OF BASHING,LIES,HEAD GAMES, AND PLAYERS, JUST LOOKING TO USE A GOOD WOMAN. I DONE WITH THAT SITE, IT IS NO GOOD.
