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
Reading the above, I think its odd that you have to pick from a limited selection of “body type” descriptions, also. It ought to be up to you to add that in your profile. I had problems with that…I listed myself as a bbw and got my head chewed off by a guy who said I dont “qualify”. I have to be a certain weight and wear a certain size jeans. So, I changed it to a few extra pounds, but I am more than just a few extra pounds over, even though I carry it well (I have height on my side) Voluptuous doesnt cut it either…men expect huge boobs with that description, lol!
Also…I have been on lots of other sites and in my experience, men use the internet dating sites as a big old candy store. Even if they find someone perfect, they will continue to “just check” and see what else is out there, in case something better shows up. I find this very disturbing, it seems like people dont really want relationships anymore, and while women may be guilty of the same thing (I dont date women, so I dont know) it seems like most men want eye candy, even when they themselves are grossly overweight. I am always wary of guys who ask my bra size, I mean, fine, if a guy is a boob-man, good for him, but guess what? Big boobs dont make a good woman, and that lets me know they arent seriously looking for a relationship. I have yet to find a man here who is looking for his soulmate…they all want a playmate. And here is a tip for the ladies…watch out for JayinNY, the guy who says he used to be an accountant (yet cant even spell it) I met him and it was a horrible experience. Steer clear of this guy!!!!!!! Good luck to everyone.
It’s just sad to me that we live in a world where people have to judge each other.I am not rich I sure am not Brad Pitt.I work with what I got,I am on my own have a job and I make things work.I don’t care if a woman has kids,guys who think that women with kids are a turn off really bug me.NEWS FLASH that is MOM’S pride and joy,the fact is they feel that they will be second and THAT is EGO.Get over yourselves guys,these ladies need love too.
Hi all! I have been on pof 4 times now and I just have a problem with the size options. I am 5 3 and a somewhat heavy woman . I am 58 pounds overweight this is a far cry from a few pounds over weight. But anywho, I would like to see pof give more size options, because I can’t list BBW because I am not tall. This part of the profile really makes some men mad, because they think that we are lying to them in our profile, but we aren’t. But hey some guys outright lie, most on here list average size or worse yet athletic, when they are clearly over over weight.
I have met what I thought were some really nice guys on here. But the four ( yes 3 were very heavy men) I went on dates with just wanted a lady with money. Which is sad. Because there are some really great women and guys out there who are being overlooked for being underrich. AS for the weirdos, our hearts shouldn’t overrule our common sense. We all have intuition and when we talk with people on here, we need to keep a level head and pay attention to what is said. Sure it is nice to hear compliments and wonderful things. But we are all old enough to know when something doesn’t seem right. It just doesn’t happen here, it also can happen in the “OUTSIDE” world too. Psychos and weirdos are everywhere. Yall stay safe and have fun, BYE.
