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 is a rebuttal to Timbo’s comment. I am sure Valerie meant no harm. It is a statement. Most men on here are looking for the Barbie doll type. They overlook overweight women. This is a fact . Truly if you think about it, all the beautiful women that are on here, ie…thin, beautiful, rich , intelligent, PAris Hilton kind of women, why are they on here? Are they really that great? Shouldn’t they be sitting in a millionaires lap or in rehab somewhere? Hell, why are any of us on the net looking for the person that is meant for us? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people just tend to wear blinders. She was correct when she said that the majority of men on the net sites do continue to look for something better. That is the sad part. I dated a guy from a dating site for 10 months . It was like we were made for each. The whole 10 months he was continuing to use the computer to scout out something better. He hid this fact from me, until a girlfriend of mine saw his picture on the very site that I met him and he was using the service every day. This told me that he would never settle down. At least not with me. He is still playing the field. But we cannot give up . We get discouraged, but everyone in this world has someone that is just made for them. My parents had it, and we can too. Keep our chins up and our hearts open, people. Its a big world out there.
Hey Timbo , why dont’ you ask either me or Valerie for our email address, or find us on POF? Since the weight issue doesn’ bother you?
This is a reply to Valerie’s “SOUL MATE” comment.I resent that.I am not here for a soul mate I am here to meet people and make new friends.Soul Mate is a word that’s thrown around so easily so are words like communication,trust,honesty,faithfulness,and commitment.Seems to me that when I read your comments it seems like it was a “WEIGHT ISSUE” more then a “SOUL MATE ISSUE”.Sure you said you were overweight BUT weren’t you being a bit hypocritical when you found these men to be “OVER WEIGHT” when you yourself are ALSO “OVERWEIGHT”?I have a news flash for you Valerie WE as a NATION are the “FATTEST” Country right now.My ex-wife was heavy and that did NOT bug me any I loved her REGARDLESS of all that.I don’t judge people on looks or anything else I accept people “AS THEY ARE”.I am not here for a “PLAY MATE” either.Seems to me you’re looking in the wrong places and by the way NOT all men are so critical.I don’t put standards on PEOPLE.If you are so bothered by weight problems only YOU can fix that but my personal opinion is why change to please someone else why not PLEASE YOU first?
@allpafla
it’s true what you say about the young, pretty…
and i completely agree that most people on pof are quite rude. like you say, a polite, “no thanks” at least shows you are considerate; karma.
myself, i’m not so picky. just someone with a good heart and a backpack…
And i also agree with Timbo. a lot of us guys don’t have a problem if a woman has children.
so why am i still on pof?!?!?
just my .02
