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 for one, am a single dad in Florida, and I’ve been on and off of POF for going on 6 months. To all of you single moms who can’t find a guy, I’m right here. I still hang out on POF mostly for the forums, but occasionally get a new mail, usually from someone WAY too far for a real relationship. Truth be told, I got a LOT more mail, BEFORE I had a picture posted. A majority of people on POF are very shallow.
Hey Charles;
The young pretty single women already have boyfriends.
I’ve met some really nice people on POF, and of course there have been some crumbs as well.
My peeve ladies, is the lack of a reply to a well thought-out e-mail. Ok, some of you hotties get hundreds each day and just delete them without reading. So why are you here? Even a oneliner “no thanks” is more polite than ignoring a person.
POF only provides the introduction and if you don’t talk, communicate… you’ll never find anyone here, or anywhere else. And when you think someone is interesting, still keep the caution flags waving and exercise due caution.
Good Luck Charles, your gonna need it. A Lot!
Hi, I would like to say that I am a divorced mother of two wonderful children. I have read these comments about single woman with kids and it just goes to show how some ppl can just be so shallow. It doesnt matter if ur male or female with kids, if the opposite sex does not want kids they are going to say whatever they feel the need to say. There are many many strong woman and men who are single with children and do just fine without the opposite sex. I think I can speak for most of us (if not then I apologize) when I say we are not looking for someone to raise our children or suport them. Please ppl stop being so shallow and try to be open minded and look around u might just find the love of ur life and they will more than likely have children.
