The Jaded and the Dip****
Review about Plenty Of Fish (POF)I was on POF when it first started up and I thought it was great, It was free, you could meet people, but in the last few years taken a drastic nose dive. If you are SERIOUS about meeting someone, "Man or Woman," you will need to have a lot of patience and be prepared for a ton of frusteration before you actually meet someone great; this is why.
I'll just go ahead and say it, "It's of the guys on this site." To alot of the men, it's a numbers game. They write they write "one" generic message then copy and paste it to as many women as then can.
That's exactly why sometimes a message will pop up saying "If you don't get a reply don't get discouraged, some of the women with great pictures get up to 100 messages a day)...Because they do. (and feel free to become discouraged)
And really, there not even decent messages. They are usually along the lines of "Sup?", "Need a drinking buddy tonight?", "Do you want to cam?". I mean seriously, from a woman's persective, if I had 99 of those kind of messages in my inbox I'd be frusterated and too .
Which takes me to my next point. If your a guy who is genuine with good intentions, takes the time to read the profiles and take the effort to write a proper email (like any woman deserves), the reality is they may not even get to it. Or worse they are already to jaded after going through all the B.S, to appreciate the effort you put into into your message.
What I would recommend that would make this site 60 times better.... Remove the ablitity to "Cut and paste", just like differant "Really great site" does.
This would prevent these Dip***** from borderling "Harrasing" the women to the point where they want to just say "I give up". It only takes a few (perhaps 6,000,000) bad apples to ruin the experiance for the rest of us.
Pros
It is free. Nothing to complain about that. Easy to Navigate and I know some people who it has worked for.
Cons
It is free, and if you are willing play the numbers game by copy and pasting one genric message and sending it to every woman you see, then yes it might work for you, But is you are a serious about meeting someone. I still say "put in the time and effort".... just to be patient
