Plenty Of Fish - Dating Site Review

I like POF. But.... every time I get off and try to log back on to check my mail it won’t let me.. It says my cookies are set to high on my computer. So I tried setting them to low. Still no luck of getting on. Can anyone help?

@Bob Parker. Hey Bob you sound a little bitter. It sounds like you have been shot down just one too many times. Sounds like you need to grow a little and release your negative energy.

I have been on this site, for some time. I have had no problems, other than when there are more people on at one time, than the system seems to be able to handle. I know there are good women on this site, but for me, chemistry is a must. BMTG1945

I really liked the site but it won’t let me log on to the web site now. I don’t know what the problem could be. It has never happened before. Today was the first time; I can’t even get on to reply to someone that I thought was special. What a drag. I hope they get it back running soon.

I am wondering what happened to the site Plentyoffish? I had an email saying that I had mail on there and when I clicked on the link and then typed in my pass code, it took me completely out of plenty of fish and now it will not come up and says webpage cannot be found. Is the site deleted or is it having problems or what is going on? I had someone I was interested in and he was interested in me, but now we cannot make a connection and I really would like to find him...

I just got done reviewing all the comments and I see there is a problem with getting booted off, and apparently these people feel there is no reason behind this. It kind of frightens me. I love the website. I have only been a member on the site for approximately 3 weeks, and I found that the men are just like they are in real life, but that is so on any website. I think we should be able to contact someone about the people doing others wrong on POF and that those people should be booted off. People come to internet dating to get away from childish degrading behavior and they are ruining great websites such as Plentyoffish. Please get those people off so we can have fun and feel good about ourselves. People should be thankful that there are websites such as this that can accommodate people for free.

Good site no gimmicies!

I joined this site tentatively a few months ago. However I gave it my best shot, and I was on approximately 115 members' favourites before I was deleted, cut off, blocked etc. In fact I probably made a few bob for these Plentyoffish guys! I seem to have been deleted or something else mysterious. I say mysterious because no matter how much I try to contact customer care, I seem to be e-mailing outer space… I would at this stage discourage anybody from joining this site. It may be 'free' but I'd prefer to pay and have a dependable service.
Having to write this comment has made me feel a little pathetic, which I thought these online dating sites where attempting to diminish.

I have the same problem with Plentyoffish. Have to keep re-registering only to find I'm booted off within minutes. Totally frustrating. I emailed POF several times about this but I never get a reply.

At first I thought this was finally the best ever... but then I started to get these ugly, disgusting kinds of people emailing me, and I thought this cannot be - I mean you all can see my photo. I know I’m not the best, but I'm also not the worst person in the world looks wise anyway. The men that would try to get me to go out, I’m sorry but I could not see myself with. They were either way too young or way, way too old for me. I not only look my age, but I also do not feel my age. So I have not yet found anyone that I would consider meeting yet. So you have to look really good at a profile and photos before you contact anyone. Thank you. Besides that I love this site.

The only real 100% free site I know. And it`s actually better than several pay sites :)

Hello to all, it has been interesting to read the comments here. Same thing happened to me as well. I had a bit of trouble with Markus at first, I think because I advertise as a tranny, but after my first two deletions (more than a year ago) he left me alone. Then... poof.... deleted again a few days ago for no reason. He claims he is no longer involved in "customer service", must have hired someone of the same calibre. There's probably no point in wasting time trying to get back on POF, there are other places to go. However, for those who are into using the Personals, Kijiji is another one to watch out for. I can no longer place an ad on the site, despite the fact that I carefully crafted my ads to stay within their rules. And I just wish I could meet the Kijiji police face to face and have them explain why I am banned and yet there are many advertisers who are WAY outside their so called rules. Someone here said earlier, and quite accurately, that it's very easy to hide behind an email address. Take care all.

I just had the same repeat deleted experience at plentyoffish, with a profile which said digendered up front. I've been thinking to build a better dating / activist networking / forum site anyhow, and now I'm thinking to do so just to take Markus down.

My profile was deleted for no reason, tried to set up a new profile but that was gone within few hours as well. I have never been rude to anybody and had normal pictures.

I no longer exist on POF either! I did nothing wrong, tried to recreate 5 or 6 times, got the confirmation, then "this email is not registered in our database". Well, maybe someone needs to tweak that program that keeps deleting us regular folks who did nothing wrong. I am bummed as I was having some really great connections which were all local and now they are wondering if I am living in an alternative universe! I am trying some paid sites and will try the above mentioned freebie as well.

Why does it keep deleting some people and not others? I have friends who have been on for months..... Quite frustrating indeed!

I joined plentyoffish.com nearly 2 weeks ago and was doing fantastic with the ladies - it was amazing. Until I woke up a few mornings ago went to check my messages on POF and guess what? Gone, vanished deleted finished! I tried to re register and it accepts then after 2 min that’s deleted as well. This is really doing my head in. I’ve been told that maybe you can’t create more than 1 profile on the computer that I had originally registered with. So I went to an internet cafe registered and it was working. I was wrapped so happy. Then I got home and guess what? NOTHING again! I hope this pathetic human being loses his business.

That idiot Markus is under the impression that he is an expert on who is undateable. The only complaints he listens to are when other members have a disagreement with you. One member whose handle is womanfortouching emailed me first. She seemed interested but when I told her I was transgendered, she blocked me and and afterwards I was deleted. She ratted on me. Markus considers Transgendered people undateable. He doesn't reason, he just deletes. Will somebody tell womanfortouching that she had no reason to rat on me. I have tried many times to re register but I belive Markus has my IP address blocked or flagged as trouble. I swear, I never treated anybody rude or sent threatening emails .

If everyone is tired of POF then why not try a new 100% free site called SpecialSome1.com. It is much better and much easier to use.

I agree with the majority. I joined over 3 years ago and never encountered any problems, then a few months ago I went to log in and I couldn't - my profile had inexplicably been deleted. I hadn't broken any of the 'rules' and had just come out of a serious relationship with someone (who I incidentally met on another much better 'paying' dating site). I tried to set up a new profile and was booted off again. The moderators are akin to nazis and as for the wonderful Markus - you STINK! Yeah we all believe that you run POF single-handedly. Single we maybe, but stupid we are not. This site is an insult to any decent, intelligent person and you folk who are smug saying ohhhhh what a wonderful site I've met a great guy/girl of there. Beware - you too can be booted off at any time for no reason whatsoever. Please steer clear of this site. After all you get what you pay for and I guess I shouldn't have expected much more from a free site.

I have had a great experience on plenty of fish. I met a wonderful guy on there, never thought I would have but I did. The only problem I had with this site is the messenger plane rarely works. Sometime its a miracle to talk to someone through that. But besides that it was worth it. I can say there are some decent men online.
