Most sites do take advantage , if you're not careful . However , we are all not on the take . I have not yet found that great lady . However , I am very picky . I do not want a lazy or poor sense of humor person . So the field of choices are very slim . That's what you get on all dating websites . Its a matterwhat we each are looking for in a person .

I was on plenty of fish for 4 days. I got 78 of e mails from men . It is hard to know who to respond to as you have really nothing to go on. In comments I noticed lots of men expressing hostility towards women. You do not know what you are getting. My first contact wanted my phone number. He became threatening and abusive and I had to change the number. Had to hide my profile from him . Went for 1 glass of wine with a nice guy. Next guy wanted to meet at a truck stop 4 coffee.

Yes its free so why all the complaints. Yes, their are loads of dodgy profiles but that aside, there are some decent people on there. Its easy to use, much more fun and open than eharmony but best of all it's free. Lots of people who have given up on eharmony or match are on there so you can find some serious people - you just have to look more carefully. (read more)

I've heard a lot of scare stories from women about the men on their but I've had no problem with the women. It's free, which means it has a large user base, there are a lot of women that are inappropriate for me, but there are on pay sites too. A lot of the women are on both Match and Eharmony too.

I find that there is too much quantity and not enough quality.. speaking as a man looking for a woman.. I am not sure what the men are like. Most of the women cannot engage in a conversation of any length and/or quality. You will be hard pushed to find a lady that writes more than a sentence. There are very few real graduates while some women have not heard of the word "verb". Most of the women, including some of the few graduates, look at 2D images from neck upwards and that is the end...... (read more)

I generally hate the women on POF. They're all stuck up twits who say on their profile "If you want to know more, just message me" and when you message them, the broad don't write back. I wish all the women on POF would die. I'd like to put 'em on a boat and push it to the middle of the ocean and let them drown. Then there will be plenty of fish in the sea. Plenty of Fish is an abomination. (read more)

Right on. The "women" on POF are deluded. Usually fatties thinking they can bag a 10, so they treat anything less than a 10 like dirt. The site owners don't care because it's just about making money. The forums are led by a man hater named miss_allison. If you disagree with any of her gang, she deletes your membership.

Its really a FREE relationship breaking site and if you really want to find a relationship i would advise looking for a REAL dating site where members have to pay to be involved because free ones such as POF just attract the the wrong sort of people.

Dating websites are only as good as the members on them. This applies to POF as much as any of the others. Where I live, the mens' profiles are pretty grim: poorly written, full of textspeak and bad grammar and with far too many topless shots in which revolting tattoos are displayed with pride. But this is not POFs fault. The layout is good and the site is totally free with no hidden catches. It's probably worth sticking with for a while, rather than shelling out the exorbitant sums charged... (read more)
