My 1 star review of POF
February 28, 2025

Pof reminds me of the last helicopter out of Saigon.

The women I've spoken to told me the same thing. They get so overwhelmed with the number of messages they receive, most of which are either inappropriate or sleazy, that they just leave the site

No decent woman will stay on there for long if that's the case, which probably explains why there are so few nice women left on pof. They all left on the last chopper.

The ones left behind are those with major issues, those who have baggage, those who are angry unhappy or bordeline deranged and those obsessed with tattoos, gaming or 'fur babies'.

I can't imagine a site with worse people on it. You get what you pay for in life and pof is free to join

It's just nasty

A very bad site
March 11, 2025

I can't comment what the men are like but the women are either thick, single parents and/or not very attractive what they are good at is being unpleasant rude and extremely demanding. Regardless of what they look like or how old they are they all still expect and demand the perfect man.

From what I can see, it's full of single parents and "plus-size" women who all have oversized glasses and nose piercings which is not for me.

Everyone on that website wants some guy out of their league while offering nothing in return.

No one is simply happy with just finding a good person; they all want the man of their dreams.

It's full of 3s all thinking they're entitled to a man who is a 9 or a 10. Online dating has addled their brains. There's no common sense.
Why would a guy who is hot want to date a 3/10?

Until the women on online dating start to be more humble and realistic, it'll continue to be a waste of time

Very disappointing
March 6, 2025

I joined this "dating"site a few months ago

I didn't think I was being excessive with what I was looking for

Just someone nice and friendly

Someone reasonably attractive

Someone with a good sense of humor and personality

Not only did I struggle to find any of the above, but most were the exact opposite.

The attitude of those online seemed to act as unpleasant and undesirable with as little effort as possible & then act surprised when they can't find a good man.

POF is a bargain basement site, so it attracts the bargain basement type of person. Lots of egos, weirdos, and people with issues who shouldn't be dating.

The headline section is supposed to be the first interaction people have with potential partners, so maybe people would make an effort The people on POF don't seem to know how to communicate
Look at some of the headlines and ask yourself why anyone would bother?

Can't see likes ( every other profile says this)
Liars and cheats keep away!
No timewasters
Don't know what to say?
Will fill in later
Tired of kissing frogs
No t*ssers in tinfoil need apply
Ask
Read profile before liking!
I don't have a filter
Make me laugh
I'm back again

The profiles are usually even worse

If that's the best they can do they don't deserve to be messaged.

This pof weirdo moves way too fast, he is 61, was in the AF, now disabled and hanging around with 30 somethings. He mentions that he goes to parties where his best friends gf show their boob's. He went to his best friends wedding this December and the bride "Katie" supposedly handed out her nudes to him and the rest of the groomsmen to play a prank on her Groom "Ryan". He continues to go on about how beautiful she is. Ah highly inappropriate. Who gives out nudes at their wedding! And he took them and looked them over. One of the weirdest guys and stories I've heard. 61 hanging around with 30 somethings? Giving off pedo vibes here. Once I heard that he got blocked. He states his estranged brother likes "little girls aka sex offender. He's basically wanted to be a couple with me within hours of talking and move to my area. Creepy! His profile pic is him in a tux in from of a christmas tree. LADIES BEWARE!

His Facebook profile picture
The response in white is him admitting to everything.

Total deadbeat, going through a divorce, only looking for a woman go help him pay his bills. Separated married to a drunk bipolar wife in a rehab center. First date insinuated that his wife is breaking their lease and he needs help paying rent at his sister's and the 1800 rent that he owes to the landlord! Ladies throw this dead fish back! Bald, fat and broke!

Billy Thomas lives in Newport news, has a record, total deadbeat, doesn't pay his child support, but has money for cigs and beer and the custom blue lighting kit for his car, 40 years old nothing to his name, but an old car with 100,000 miles on it. Thinks he's the bomb because he's tall and skinny but, he's far from it! He's out for one thing and one thing only. He talks a good game, but he's not even involved with his kids on a day to day basis. He had a child with a woman and couldn't even commit. If you want someone that's just out for a piece of ass, a bum going nowhere, and can't sustain himself in bed this is your guy! Ladies beware. He does carpet installation with a company that is a contractor for the government for a living. A total tool. Learn from my mistake.

Just like before people click like but they can't be bothered to message you. It's too much trouble for them. It's still full of women who think they're better than you and act stuck up.

If you message first you'll either be ignored or find they have no conversation skills and no humour.

The women are flawed and imperfect yet want someone perfect, tall dark and handsome. It's just 3s wanting 10s. Strong independent woman seeks man of her dreams 🙄

It'll be another 8 years before I bother again

I met someone through a POF page, but I was scammed by this company, whose name is Bad. I have to complain to ***TRE/ (BLES) /LTD(COM)****, and I'm glad they returned my money. SEND THEM AN EMAIL IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR FUND, AND THEY WILL REFUND IT.

Not worth paying for
November 28, 2024

POF was great years ago. Now it has become extremely restrictive as to what you can do without paying and it's not cheap. Just get the free version and you will see that they send you fake views and likes which you can't see unless you pay to get you to bite. 99% of users don't pay and can't see you either. There are very old and dormant profiles, fakes, scammers and plain out liars. I don't recommend pof. It was bought out by Match and takes advantage of lonely and desperate singles, sad.

My take on POF
Supply and demand isn't good on a dating site when there are hundreds of men for every single woman.

From what I saw, there are only two types of females on there: extremely ordinary and really terrible.

The ordinary ones get bombarded with 100s, of messages and start becoming picky, which is understandable, I guess. The terrible ones get very little mail and are on there for years and becoming increasingly bitter.

Simp guys can cop the blame for ruining POF; love bombing anyone even half decent. They've ruined it with their pathetic behavior.
So if you don't get a reply, you now know why
