Don't waste your money or time. All the profiles are inactive or spam. There are no actual people on this site interested in dating. I am considering contacting a lawyer and initiating a class action law suite since POF is charging you to browse fake profiles & not providing an opportunity to interact with other members.

I HAVE paid, zoosk, mingle, Christian ( sex pool) Our Time which I filled out for another but they kept putting me with the over 50, and a few others. I paid and looked... Nobody in 10 miles, 25 50 75? Come on! Think about this. You finally find somebody somewhat compatible, then arrange schedules, pick a spot half way in between. Do either of you really know a good place to meet? A local place to eat? The parking lot at Wally World? NO! Neither one wants to drive all the way there and back. So in retrospect the dating sites are contributing to each failed long distance relationship just to make more money.

Charges for service, way too many prostitutes in the "looking to date but nothing serious" or "isn't seeking a relationship of any kind" area. Sucks because it makes me think ask the women in there are hookers

Hacked account
October 20, 2016

My account got hacked someone has stolen my identity, and changed the e-mail address. I am getting tons of messages, and I can't open them. POF never responds to e-mails, or answers the phone. Stay clear if you care about your reputation at all, they clearly don't!

Had a few dates, all of the ladies were weird whether we got intimate first date or not.

The pretty ones were horrifically ugly by being arrogant and some otherwise unattractive ladies seemed nice on line.

I guess one gets what they pay for, nothing and a waste of time in general... most action takes place as soon as you sign up, then, *crickets*...

Rubbish customer service who don't reply to emails, had a serious problem regarding someone hacking into my profile, emailed pof and several times and never got an email back, never trust the back ground of this site especially when something goes wrong.

I used to be able to send a couple of dozen messages over a weekend, using an effective opening message I've developed which explains who I am and what I'm looking for. Now POF blocks them after the first few, saying copy and paste messages are not allowed.

This defies all logic; a standard greeting makes perfect sense because we know almost nothing about each other. And besides, they probably won't write back anyway so it's not fair to expect guys to invest a lot of time on a personalized opening message. The opener really needs to be standard, with the recipient's name added at the beginning if they provide one in their profile. Then the second message can be personalized sure if they show any interest.

The 14 year rule was bad enough, but now they won't even let me say what I want to say? Jeez, enough is enough. Time to look for alternatives, whether it be Tinder or a paid dating site. POF used to be good but they went too far with all their restrictions.

Horrible
April 29, 2017

Most of the men on here are just looking for hookups and no real relationship. It's a horrible site. By the way Sai Brown is a married mix guy with kids. Don't contact him unless you want to be a side chick

Fake
February 22, 2018

Fake men wrote to me from all over the country -some so good-looking and manufactured that they were too good to be true. They'd write the simplest one liners, such as "Do you value family?" or "Are you creative?" or just "Hey, handsome." If I replied, I'd never hear from them again -not one of them, not ever. None of them actually looked at my profile, and half of them described themselves in their own profiles as "interested in females." I'm not a female, nor do I look like one. I'd also receive random messages from women... although my profile is clearly that of a gay man. There is nothing real about this site. It's just a scam that preys upon people looking for love etc. Someone spends their time pinging customers in the hopes of keeping them hooked into the site. The pinger doesn't even try really hard to make it seem real. What a crock.

Exposing Frauds

I have had one response &it seems nobody has read my profile on both sides. They don't pay attention to my preferences and get bad mix of age, localeðnicity. Also unauthorised credit card withdrawals with no notifications.Are these women real then why the "canned" responses. I am totally disgusted and buyer beware!

Unfortunately, it looks like this company has some political views, and discriminates accordingly. After about 8 years of my on-and-off relationship with POF, my account was canceled w/out any explanation.

POF Review 2018
May 4, 2018

I remember when this site was fresh. Seems a bit old now. Dont get me wrong, not many sites can compete (maybe wejustfit.com but not many others) but I do wish they would add some new features or do something else for people who pay their sub fees religiously each month. Come on match, evolve already!

Get ready to see "can't see likes " as headline for virtually every female profile on there. It's just really unoriginal & a terrible first impression but they don't seem to care about that

Large numbers of truly undesirable and unpleasant females lacking social skills on their phones demanding that only the hottest guys message them.

Profiles are either full of ridiculous demands or blank and say "ask" or in "fill in later".

The only good thing was the log out button.

I would not recommend the POF dating site to anyone who is real and genuine. My experience with this company has been one of lies, corruption and the most impersonal user interface for meeting a friend.

Abysmal females
November 20, 2019

Dreadful website

The same women seem to be on there forever with the photos that never age

Every profile is full of demands 'Make me laugh' "messages only saying hi will be deleted" "make an effort in your message" which is laughable because their profile is usually empty and also no way they're hot enough to dare be that picky about what they want. Since when do unattractive women get to call the shots?

I can honestly say I've never seen a site with so many rude aggressive misfits in my life. Doesn't take Einstein to see why they're single

Problem with pof

0.01% women are okay looking & have a friendly personality

99.9% are either unattractive/unpleasant/overweight/social misfits/mentally unhinged or deluded. Most tick more than one of these boxes

They all however think they are princesses and men should fall at their feet

I refuse to entertain any contact with these circus freaks
