Plenty Of Fish - Dating Site Review

@Paul Kroell Since we can't see what your profile looks like maybe you should raise your standards for the women you are trying to meet or better yet...try a full figured woman..we are very nice and loving!!!! My only complaint about POF is there needs to be a POF for BBW's

I still do not know if the females get to see my interests when i message them and send my profile to them--none will tell me and it's been 2 months. Also, why are women allowed to say they want long-term relationships and then drag me to mixers and dive bars and then show me their potential lovers who have goo goo eyes for them and are better looking. it's plain mean. I end up footing the bill and am only an escort while these women just try to get these potential lovers jealous. Also,kia4 told me i was a fatty yet she has a pooch too and then wanted me to spend $4000 for teeth braces and then wanted me as a roommate in a house she doesn't even own and was being foreclosed on. Where do i live after that the streets? Reasonably housing is hard to find in san diego county. After spending $400 on her on 3 dates just plain trying to please her-she wouldn't even answer my phone call. Also men can't write anything about wanting sex eventually in their profiles and women get to write what they want. There is definitely a double standard. I put in easily 25 messages before i get even 1 female message back and have had only 4 dates in 2 months. I've probably sent out over 100 messages in 2 months. This sure is time consuming and difficult. My first date was even living with a guy and she wants a long term relationship with me--huh! Boghos

@debs I’m just like u but on the opposite side of the spectrum. i am a single father and i can't seem to find anyone to date. No one at all, no replies, no inquiries, no dates. Just a couple of people who seem desperate to get out of their "situation".

I really resent being told I'm too fussy - so one legged, spotty dwarfs welcome! The thing is if you are a woman looking for a man, despite your preferences and your politeness in describing what you want men you don't want write to you. If you do not reply you open yourself up to a torrent of abuse for ignoring them -and if you do reply 'thanks but no thanks' they take it as invitation to continue. I'm a woman looking for a man: I'm not a nurse looking for a patient to mend.

Hi. I am on POF, and have tried navigating the dating world as well. Sure, of course you get wierdos, and liars. You do on ANY site. It is really hard for any moderator to know if someone is truly who they say they are online. BUT...for God's sake, stop grouping everyone into "loser" category. I am REAL damn it. I live in a small town and it is hard to meet new ppl. You think my friends want to go out "trolling for dates" with me? You think it looks good for a woman, or is even safe...for them to go out alone hoping to meet someone? NO it is not! I don't ask men for money, am not looking for a "sugar daddy". I do not lie or put up fake pictures of myself. I actually update them every couple months even. Ok, so I have had that happen where they talk and disappear. I have had ones that wanna meet and are not as they seem. BUT, I have met people when out...face to face, only to find later the wedding ring had been taken off, they weren't working for the fire dept. but were on welfare...etc etc. You take that chance wherever you are. Meeting a new person means having to take the time to actually KNOW them. Not POF'S fault that some people can and are rude, insensitive idiots. The idea behind POF is just this: trying to help people find someone to be happy with. Plain and simple. It might not happen as you wish, and you might have to keep fishing a while, but at least it is an avenue that you can explore without having to spend hard-earned money for possibly no return. My kudos to Marcus and his site...and to the "haters" let's see you come up with something better, and put your money where your mouth is!

Someone is using my photo and screen name to write to men. How do I get this stopped? This person is telling them to write to trustinme@ymail.com. I don't have a clue who this is and I have had two emails from men I don't know, so please help me with this. Foxy3340

Plenty of Fish is a wonderful idea, tool and service. I believe everyone wants to find love and for that the whole idea of finding your perfect match ... for free is wonderful. Being on line makes it even easier to screen out the crazy ones. It actually save a person a lot of time! Happy fishing!!

Women are just s**ts and w****s ... just like in real life except there are no pretensions. U either got the looks and money or U do not. Women are just more honest and genuine on the site. They have no social restrictions.

Pros: free and easy

Cons: culling of the male members

love is like a box of chocolates.....Its all love lol

I have no problem with pof have met some nice ladies...just not one for me..yet.. want to know..if my pof profile and pictures can be emailed to an email address of my choice.. and if so... how that can be... thank you.

Plenty Of Fish dating is the worst site on the internet.

Greetings! I am a 24 years old single lady here in the Philippines. I heard about this dating site and it seems very legitimate. I try to register but it always fail. It says someone already uses this username and i try a very unique name but still i cannot register. Are we women in the Philippines not allowed on this dating site? Thank you for your clarification later... Ryssan

@Barry How do you remove the cookies?? i am not able to send mail or receive from plenty of fish. can you help me? teresab5433@gmail.com.

That's because it was being 'upgraded'. This happens quite frequently, and it seems that the administrator adds and deletes features on a whim. Some features last longer than others, but don't get used to them because they can disappear without any warning. Very amateur approach to site maintenance.

Every loser on the planet seems to be registered here! Rednecks, trailer trash, hookers looking for business, married folk, illegal immigrants.. you name it, you will find them all. I had an ordinary profile, no sexy pics, nothing provocative, yet I was always contacted by cheap men looking for an easy lay. I was talking to one guy for a while, until i found out from another female member on the site he's already married with a family. The other guy I talked to says he's going through a divorce and could not afford the trip to come to see me, so I'd have to pay to go see him if we were ever to meet. Those people who found someone on plentyoffish I'm very happy for them. It never worked for me.

I've read all the comments and saw all the bad reviews but after only 2 weeks on the site, I met a lovely guy who I am now in a serious relationship with, we are getting engaged in July! There is hope guys! If you want to contact me for a chat/tips, search for my ID on POF, VelvetDesires. Thank you POF! =D

I am confused. I have only been on this site for a while now i am trying to sign into it it keeps saying invaild hostname WHY?

I find a woman, look at her picture first then read the profile. They wonder why they are single. One: they are too choosy. Two, they don't even bother emailing you back. You get one to two emails and that's it. So yes there are a lot of woman out there who are only playing games because i have seen them. It's not always the man.

@ciara I couldn't agree more!!! I'm soooooo tired of the same thing, and have even been told I sound like a prude. I refuse to 'talk dirty' (electronically speaking), only to be expected to give it up IF the guy decides he just might get some by meeting me in person. Geez.....

This is not good I cannot get into the Plentyoffish site.......I don't think its supposed to do that........Its as if the site doesn't even exist.
