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
This site is NOT for normal singles. It is run by small cliques that control the forums and chase away any and all who dare not think like them. Brazen, sweetboytz, foxzoo etc. are a small group of lifers who just have sex with anyone and dictate who can host events.
They control this geek that hosts events in Edmonton and thus support his events. But heaven forbid if you dont kiss their butts. You will be banned. The girls trade sex with a few of the mods and thus they have control of the Alberta site.
Communism at its finest.
I agree, POF is not the place if you want to find someone with integrity, most dates I went on the guys lied either about their age, height, weight or various other demographics and thought this was ok, they made no effort to change it within their profile once it was questioned.
There is also this idea of “not wanting to settle” which keeps all dating and dating and not giving a person a chance, its no wonder they don’t find anyone ( I see people who have been on these dating websites for years).
Skip POF if you are looking for a serious relationship with a decent person.
POF is not a good site for many reasons, but here is something that everyone should be wary of. It has been suggested that POF is a site where hackers can highjack your system, this has now happened to me twice directly through POF. I finally just quit. The site is not secure. Along with that, there are many people there who are abusive and even if you report someone, they don’t stop them. I would warn everyone to make sure if you do decide to go to POF, you have ultimate security on your computer.
