Plenty of Fish (POF) - A Comprehensive Review
In the ever-evolving world of online dating, Plenty of Fish (POF) stands out as a notable platform that has helped millions of people connect with potential partners. With its robust algorithms, expansive user base, and unique personality matching features, POF has carved out a significant niche for itself in the online dating industry. This review delves into the various aspects of POF, assessing its strengths and identifying areas for improvement.
A Brief Overview of Plenty of Fish
Plenty of Fish (POF) is a free online dating service that boasts a rich history dating back to its founding in 2003. Its mission is to facilitate relationships by allowing users to connect with others based on compatibility and shared interests. Over the years, POF has grown exponentially, with members going on over 18 million dates annually. This popularity can be attributed to its user-friendly design, comprehensive features, and, of course, its free-to-use model.
Advanced Matching Algorithms
One of the standout features of POF is its advanced matching algorithms. Users are encouraged to take a comprehensive chemistry test, which assesses personality traits, relationship needs, and individual preferences. The results of this test help POF to create personality profiles and match users based on compatibility. According to POF, its algorithms and technology are unmatched in the dating industry, which underscores its commitment to providing genuine matches for its users.
Remarkably, the efficacy of these algorithms has been recognized in academic circles, with mentions in a Nobel Prize of Mathematics (Fields Medal) paper. This level of scientific backing adds credibility to POF's claim of having a superior matching process.
Safety and User Control
In the world of online dating, safety is paramount. POF addresses this concern by allowing users to control who can contact them. This feature is crucial for users who may want to avoid unwanted advances or interactions that could lead to uncomfortable situations. Additionally, POF actively removes users who are deemed unfit for the dating environment, thereby ensuring a safer space for genuine interactions.
While the platform implements these safety measures, it's always recommended for users to exercise caution and follow standard safety practices when interacting with others online.
A Broad User Base
POF claims to be about five times larger than any paid site, giving users access to a vast pool of potential matches. This wide reach increases the likelihood of finding someone who meets the desired criteria, be it geographic location, interests, or personality traits. For users seeking a diverse selection of potential partners, POF's extensive user base is a significant advantage.
The platform's free access model contributes to its large user base. Unlike many other dating platforms that require a subscription for full functionality, POF allows users to send messages, browse profiles, and utilize other key features without incurring costs.
How to Get Started with POF
Getting started on POF is simple and straightforward. Users can create an account by signing up on the website. The signup process involves providing basic information and completing the chemistry test, which lays the groundwork for personalized matches. Once registered, users can customize their profiles, upload photos, and begin searching for potential dates or partners immediately.
Moreover, POF offers additional features such as chat rooms, photo rating, and advice forums, making it not just a dating platform but also a community for singles seeking interaction and guidance.
User Experience and Interface
POF's interface is designed to be user-friendly, ensuring ease of navigation for its users. However, design preferences vary, and some users may prefer more modern aesthetics. While the platform provides a straightforward experience, there are opportunities for enhancing the visual appeal and interactivity of the site.
On the functionality front, POF performs well with responsive design elements that work seamlessly across devices. This is a critical feature considering the growing preference for mobile usage among online daters.
Potential Areas for Improvement
Despite its numerous strengths, POF is not without its challenges. One of the common user critiques revolves around profile authenticity. The platform's free access model, while beneficial for attracting a large user base, may also lead to an influx of fake profiles or users with less sincere intentions. Strengthening the verification process could mitigate this issue and enhance user trust.
Furthermore, POF could expand its services by incorporating more innovative features or enhancing existing ones, such as video calls or more personalized matchmaking suggestions. These additions could increase user engagement and satisfaction.
Conclusion
Plenty of
Good for women but bad for men
This is another site I have wasted 10 years of my life on.It is overwhelmingly populated by men which is great for women but bad for guys.A friends daughter has had lots of success on this site but I have been on here for over 10 years and the only mail I have ever had has been from admin.This site is only good for 3 types of men,1 the good lookers,2 the rich men and 3 the men who are good at telling lies that enable them to lure the women in.If you are ugly and poor like me don't waste your time because no one will be interested in you.
Pros
Free.
Cons
1)Fixed profile questions that don't let you answer honestly.2)Full of passport seekers,shallow women that go for looks and gold diggers.3)Terrible customer service.4)Awful layout.5)A waste of time for ordinary men.
Stay away from Plenty of Stinky Fish
Where to even begin...the messed up ratio of ten men for each woman is the start of the issue. It makes the women very stuck up and demanding. Even the baggage laden fuggly ones without a job think they are gods gift to man. When they get 45 emails a day from men begging for their fat as sses, it can explain it (almost).
If you are a guy, who is lonely and looking for a relationship go here to get your ego crushed like a hamburger placed under a steam roller!
These girls are so fuc ugly for the most part, that by looking through this site it may actually assist you in losing weight. Then they are shocked why the vast majority of men go there to find some-thing to stick their dck in.
Pros
It's free.
Cons
Everything.
Not awful, expecially considering the price.
I'm starting to think the whole online dating process is almost hopeless. An incredibly high percentage of the women I meet don't look very much like their photos. Some look 15 years older. There are a few a lunatics too. On the other hand, I did have a couple of "near misses" where we were almost, but not quite compatible. BUT, here's the important part: the mediocre rating that I give to POF is exactly the same as what I give to Match.com, which I finally left. The bottom line is that ALL these sites are slow, frustrating, and don't have very good batting averages. So I used to spend a lot of money getting almost nowhere, but now I'm getting almost nowhere for free. So I guess that's an improvement, huh? If you get easily frustrated and impatient, don't use any dating site, free or paid, because they'll all irritate you. If you do have the patience, this one is a little better than average, and it's FREE. By the way, I would give the same review to okcupid.
Pros
The batting average is low, but it's not zero. And it seems as good/bad as match.com, which is expensive. This one is FREE.
Cons
The batting average isn't zero, but it's low.
WORST WASTE OF TIME and MONEY
I'm a handsome 45 y.o{younger looking than george Clooney}. male,very successful,everything a women would{at least a normal women}want.
Yet only get viewed 2 times a week first six weeks,only one coffee date.Needless to say mostly by women my age or older.
I don't know if it westcoast mentality or what, but the ladys here do not respond in any manner.
Even the ugly ones, I tried one ,very plain ,poorly dressed,yet after my third email suggesting we meet she froze!!go figure!
I wasted $60. and caution any MAN about this site.
Also MR. Markas{owner}prohibits contact with and females 14 years younger than you.
When I put my photo on a Asian dating site I get 2-5 emails a day by girls in their 20-30's!!
Wonder why these westcoasts all fatso's,perhaps to much gym,yoga and grouse grind!!!go figure.
Get me out of here.eeeks!!

Pros
none
Cons
too many to mention!!
poor site all around.
Doesn't provide body weight.
POF Probably 0 Females...
This site was horrible I received few responses and none serious, I am guessing the ratio of this dating site is 65% M / 35% F so my title is a bit harsh maybe Plenty OF Flakes would be a better one. If you want a decent site for meeting ladies you are going to have to pay plain and simple...try(No Joke) www.giveyourhandabreak.com/gender/ for info on dating site F/M ratios.
Also check out best 15 dating sites which were tested and rated based on sucess the men had...There is also another site that has you pay for dates I would be a bit nervous about this but is does cut to the chase....Good Luck.
If you a Beta Male living in the USA you will need it.
Pros
1. Free
2. Get used to online dating without paying for it.
Cons
1. Zero Sucess at meeting women.
Does what it promises - a lot of these reviewers are whiners
It's free, the profiles are real, and the service is well run. One importnat feature is that they show you how long it has been since the person was online (most paid services don't do this because they want to give you the illusion of thousands of members when actually most of them haven't been online in months)
The only change I'd like to see is being able to "hide" a profile you're not interested in so you don't have to wade through the same ones every time you search.
As for all the negative reviews here, these people are whiners. If women aren't writing you back IT'S BECAUSE THEY AREN'T INTERESTED. If you meet someone who turns out to be a psycho IT'S NOT THE SITE'S FAULT, it's your fault for not being picky.
This site does what it's supposed to do - features real profiles of currently active members you can easily contact. The first time you're on it can be a little time-consuming going through all the profiles of active members. But after that all you have to do is search for new members to stay updated.
Pros
- profiles are real
- totally free
- shows you how long it's been since they were online so you're only contacting active members
- large number of members
Cons
- only con I can think of is that it would be nice if you could hide profiles from your searches so you don't have to wade through the same profile every search.
Plenty of fatties
I've been on this site for about a year. I met a woman and saw her several times. She turned out to be a headcase although crazy in the head usually means fun in bed which it was. I find that one out of 20 emails get answered. Lots of time for very little return. I've seen the same profiles come up as supposed matches. Very little new talent. I've probably been out on a dozen meetings, but unfortunately my third eye isn't blind. I have encountered more than a couple that started right out by describing their financial woes. If you have a lot of time and energy and can tolerate total rejection by all means sign up because it costs nothing but time.
As a word of caution, beware of women that lack full body photos unless you are looking for somebody that outweighs you. T Rex lives at pof...
Pros
Free
Cons
plenty of problems and head cases. the few decent looking women in my age group are stuck up bitches that truly believe there is no odor to their fecal matter.
The Jaded and the Dip****
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
Plenty of Fail
Plenty of Fish is the worst dating site on the Internet.
While the concept of online dating is well meaning, the execution of it is very difficult. However, while some sites actually make an attempt at creating a useful and potentially rewarding user experience, it is clear that Plenty of Fish have no such aspirations.
For the honest guy, the site is teeming with fakes, con artists, delusional leftovers, social paths and attention seekers. There is probably 1 plausible candidate for every 99 you have the displeasure of having to swim past. However, many of the candidates are wary since they had to endure a sea full of equally dreadful denizens.
The honest woman has to endure a steady flow of cads and poseurs looking for a booty call. Encouraged by the amount of truth-stretching by a lot of the female ads, these hounds will post up equally embellished profiles and often completely fake photos. It?s like trying to find an honest person in the middle of a smash-and-dash riot looting fest. They do exist, but the chances are, you won?t find them here.
What makes Plenty of Fish particularly bad is that they clear promote all sorts of negative behaviour.
Although they will attempt to remove fakes and any profiles that have any hostility towards women, they are apparently less likely to remove female members who lace their profiles with an obvious tone of hostility towards men. There excuse is that they need as many female members as possible. However, how is that an excuse to promote negativity? It?s supposed to be about love and not hate, is it not?
Speaking of negativity. The man bashers have a place to hide out: the forums.
There is a small group of regulars that post up all sorts of negative comments about men in general. Sometimes the comments are blatant; sometimes they are cleverly couched in innuendo. However, these are left around while the moderator deletes rebuttals at her whim. It doesn?t take much to realize that the moderator, miss_Allison, has a clear agenda. She does not allow open dialogue about anything she deems to be ?done to death?. This really just translates to censorship of anything she can?t debate, but disagrees with. Members who speak out against it receive a permanent ban.
Essentially, this means that the forum site promotes intolerance to anything that man-bashers don?t want to hear.
The whole affair is a travesty, and people should avoid the site. The Internet community deserves far better.
Pros
- Free
- You don?t have to go there
Cons
- Full of Fakes, Frauds, Man Bashers, Sex Hounds
- Run like cheap backroom operation (and it shows)
- Membership is free but your time isn?t
- Will make you think that the world is full of narcissistic, delusional women and sex-crazed loser guys
- Forums are seriously biased towards man bashers
Cheaters and liars
I was only on the site for two weeks and that was too long.
I got plenty of responses to my profile and either they were married, creeps, liars, old photos, whined about the quality of the women, asked me to move in or marry them before they even knew my name.
There were no respectful men on there. None were serious about anything but a one night stand or a booty call. I was totally disgusted with the men my age on there.
Pros
It is free.
Cons
Losers, liars, cheaters.....don't waste your time!!!
meh....
Don't expect much, it may be plenty of fish, but not many keepers. For the most part, its people who've pretty much given up on trying. I may be one of the lucky ones who actually found someone on there, but it took over a year to find this person, and it turned out we both pretty much tired of the mainstream social scene. Apparently, if you want to be noticed, you have to pay on the site. It has results, but its time consuming, and frustrating.
Pros
free site, if you're really looking, theres some useful tips and guides.
Cons
like i said, it's mostly full of those who've given up on trying.
straight up about pof.
Most of the reviews about this site are correct. The ladies that i thought were good looking turned out to be snobs and the many scammers just want your money.This is the first site i ever joined and i was almost scammed by the very first person i talked to.The site deletes scammer profiles but only between the hours from 8am to 5pm.Then the scammers have the whole weekend to scam people.I reported a scammer posing as Robin Meade from CNN news on a Friday night and the profile didn't get deleted untill 8am on monday morning.
Pros
Its free but not much different from any other site.
Cons
Just like any other site.Mostly snobs that have been on the site since it started and then you have your scammers that know how to work the site through all of the loopholes.
Plenty of time wasters..
I have been on many dating sites over the years, but this one (pof) is the one I come back to now and then when I am not taking the greatest of interest in getting a woman for my purposes and don't want to spend money..
Of course, that's rather a false economy, when you consider that POF is full of time wasters and without doubt the worst quality of females you will ever see in the world of dating..
Talk about heads up their own backsides, they seem to suffer from the common affliction of women who spend much time on dating sites, they mistake the fact that they are being chased and contacted by many men for validation that they really are "special".. (Well, perhaps they are, special needs more like!)
Some of the profiles are so incredibly negative about men, it is no surprise that this is the words biggest dating site.. After all, the many women on here are unlikely to ever find anyone who would want to take them off this site..!
Pros
Free, and a good way to learn how conceited and awful women can be (and usually are on here!)
Plenty of folk on
Cons
Mostly time wasters and unpleasant women on here. Brings out the worst in women it seems. Very unlikely to get a date off here, and if you do, you will most likely wish you hadnt bothered!
POF is full of Sociopaths & Narcissists
AVOID POF at all costs, unless you want to waste your time, deal with flakes, time wasters or risk serious damage to your mental health and personal well being.THIS is the WORST dating site ever. Plentyoffish seems to be full of narcissistic egotistical people. The women are the worst there, they are liars, manipulators, extremely selfish, materialistic, ignorant and stupid. Most of them suffer from dangerous personality disorder such as narcissistic and sociopathic personality disorders. It seems a lot of others also suffer from MPD, BPD. I've met already 2 people with severe multiple personality disorder(also know as dissociative identity disorder)and ran into a few women with sociopathic tendencies. The people on that site are sick bastards who pretend to be normal, but if you look at most of the photos, they always have an alcoholic drink in their hands, drunk in their photos, are engaging in risky behavior, or extreme sports, and they all have their hands on their waist on nearly every profile. The body language of someone with their hands on their waist is a sign of aggression, anger, assertiveness and of an aggressive personality. I have many "you cannot make this shit up" stories about people I've met off this site. One woman was not allowed to leave her apartment and would sneak out to have sex with random POF men inside of a dirty Starbucks bathroom in Brooklyn! This same woman also gave crap about not having a car in the NYC area, yet didn't have one herself and was not even allowed to leave her house! If you do meet someone who is not dangerously insane, they will waste your time, or reject you if you are serious about looking for a relationship. You will meet many immature grown women who are very unsure of themselves or what they want and will just lead you down a dead end road. Do not go on this site! Also, avoid Okcupid too, that is another worthless site, full of wanna be hipsters and women who are not serious about meeting a guy, and are just there to goof around. ALL free sites suck! Go to a 100% pay site, where everyone has to pay to join.
Pros
Its free, but even that is not good enough or worth the effort signing up.
Cons
The women are not serious about meeting or dating any guys, women do not take the site seriously. Women will waste your time, are just looking for penpals.
Horrible people, tons of fake people, liars, douchebags, narcissists, disturbed people with dangerous personality disorders or serious issues like multiple personality disorder, antisocial behaviors. Nothing but shallow, selfish, sometimes downright evil materialistic women with serious issues, such are undiagnosed borderline personality disorder and anti-social personality tendencies.
No Dates
I have been on there for years and not over 1 actual contact per year. I am a good guy, and always get bad comments form the very few that even respond. It is a waste of time. You get hopes up, then NOTHING. The few that I did actually meet with had no sparks either for me nor her..
I found the women there are skeptical or not even looking for a date.
Pros
free
Cons
no results
Better off wasting your time on /b/
Complete waste of time. Women think that all men are only looking for sex, however they don't take the serious guys seriously. Went on a few dates, needless to say the women I met were all unsure of what they wanted. If you're an attractive woman, expect tons of messages from men, if you're an attractive man, expect mesages from fattys and ugoes. Expect about 1 response for every 20 emails sent out, and out of those messages you get back, expect a short uninterested response.
Pros
It's free
Easy to use
Cons
Everything else.
Plenty of Fisher SUCKS!!!
If you are looking to hook up with hot guys this is the site. But be careful, most are unemployed, very shady. Con men. For Sex this is good but nothing else.
Pros
If you want a one night stand this is the site for you.
Cons
Fake PicturesrnCon MenrnUnemployed people wanting money
WOMEN!!!!! BE CAREFUL OF THIS SITE!!!!!!
I was on Plenty Of Fish for a while, and I can testify that for sure, that Markus guy, owner of Plenty Of Fish, does not care about the safety of the women on his site at all!!! All he cares about is his pocket book and how much he's making. I went on a date with a really good-looking guy, who turned out to be a total creep. I went out with him 3 times in total. On the 3rd date, we went back to his place. His apartment had pictures of several of his ex-girlfriends with their eyes plucked out! Needless to say, I got totally creeped out, made an excuse to leave, and I never went out with him again. But he kept on calling me and harrassing me. And even wrote me harassing emails through that site. I reported this Markus, forwarding the harassing emails to him as evidence, and you know what happened? He kicked ME off the site!!! And that guy is still on there!!!! And you believe that BS???
I read in one of the newspapers somewhere that the Orangeville woman who was murdered might've met her killer on Plenty Of Fish. However, Markus claims that the Orangeville woman was off his site when she was murdered. Honestly, I wouldn't believe a single word that guy says. He's probably lying in order to protect his pocketbook and his stupid site. I hope the police doesn't believe that guy. That guy's a moron and his site should be shut down. And I hope that it does get shut down, for the safety of all women!!!
Pros
easy to use, free

Cons
Not good for serious times
Worst Site On The Planet
This is the absolute worst site for dating ever! The women are DANGEROUS. First of all they ALL lie...they'll swear they are being truthful...DON'T BELIEVE THEM. If you're in the market for lonely, deparate women who want nothing more than to "hook" someone...this is the place for you. My experience was horrible. I dated a few women whom I thought were normal from our conversations...NOT! First of all, if their profile says average body type...that means VERY OVER WEIGHT. They make POF their profession to hook someone...don't be fooled. Lonely, deparate women who can't meet someone by any other means flock to this site. Guys...hide your wallets!!!
Pros
NONE
Cons
Women are all liars
Fake Profiles
Site should be called Plenty of Degenerates
Profiles deleted at will with no explanation
Be prepared to screen heavily!
POF isn't a bad place to get your feet wet if you are leaving a long-term relationship and need to "move on" but don't need/want anything too serious.
I've reached the conclusion that if a person wants to find a serious relationship they shouldn't mind spending a little money for a paid site such as match.com... doing so weeds out quite a few of the men just looking for sex and not much more.
So if you do sign up with a free site such as POF know what you are looking for, communicate that clearly, and be prepared to do a lot of screening!!!!
My personal experience is this... upon re-entering the dating scene after a nearly 20-year hiatus, I needed to move on from my marriage... to be frank, I was looking for an ongoing sexual relationship but I wasn't ready to get deeply emotionally involved with anyone.
I had a lot of interest in my profile from the moment I posted it, and from that I basically screened out the players and the posers as best I could and then ended up meeting with about a dozen guys for coffee or drinks, dinner a couple of times... I was mostly upfront about what I was looking for so that's no doubt why I had so much interest!!! I'm a little above average looking - I'm not ugly but I'm seriously not all that!
I seriously wonder if this is the site to find a long-term serious relationship, I didn't talk to or meet many guys who were seriously looking for that, despite the fact their profile stated that they were looking for a serious relationship. I think the guys say that because that's what they think most women want to hear - so whether or not they are seriously looking for a serious relationship they will list it as such. Then again I stated quite clearly in my profile that I wasn't looking for anything deeply emotional at this time... Note, I stated I was looking for dating and a casual relationship in my profile, but most of the guys who contacted me had what they were looking for as "serious relationship" - so women, screen to find out what they are really looking for!!!!
After about six weeks of cofee/drinks/first dates I met the guy I decided to start something up with... that indescribably something feeling was there (we were strongly attracted to one another) and he was similarly in a transitional point in his life, so.... for about 9-months we served one another - and it was all good.
That eventually ran it's course when he cleared out what was standing in the way of him seeking a serious relationship, while I still have months, if not well over a year or two, to go before I get to that point. Besides, by then I think we both knew we weren't suited to do anything long-term together... just differences in life outlook, so we had an amicable parting and that was that - no regrets.
He was exactly what I needed when I needed it so I could never hate on POF for providing the venue to bring us together! Know what your looking for and be upfront about your needs/wants and expectations and POF may help you find a match.
Pros
Good for finding a not-so-serious relationship... it's probably not impossible to find a serious relationship on POF but do know you will have to talk to, and throw back, a lot of "fish" to find the ones who are seriously looking for something long-term. (This is from a woman's perspective.)
Cons
POF has a well-deserved reputation as a pick-up site. You need to screen carefully for the broke blokes trying to pose as doing something with their lives when in fact they are not even working full time and are simply of POF looking for sex and a woman to live off of!
A poor site for genuine people
I was a member on POF for around 3 months, in that time I found no girls who interested me in more than friendship, but found plenty of clingy average looking girls who were getting way too serious far too quickly (without even meeting me). One was even talking about marriage. It also seems to have a high number of single mothers, so if that isn't your thing maybe its not the best site for you, At best the majority of girls on the site are average looking and seem to think that joining a dating site means that they'll find a poster boy - so if your only average looking you might struggle (but that is the same with any dating site). The vast majority of good looking girls tend to be fakes (ie men, not so pretty women hiding their true identity, or way of date pictures).
After 3 months my account was deleted with absolutely no warning or reason given. I had done nothing wrong on there and been normal and friendly with everybody. I tried re-registering a few times but my account kept getting deleted after 24 hours. I was a bit annoyed as I now have no way of letting a number of contacts know what has happened. But this site is also very sexist. Why do I say that? As a man I had to wait 2-3 days for my profile to get approved. A female friend of mine joined the site and received immediate approval, after registering her profile was public. Anybody make sense of that?
They have now introduced an Upgrade package which you have to pay for. All this does is adds a gold star on your profile to apparently show that you are a genuine person looking for a relationship. Perhaps a good idea, but its been flawed from the start as POF gave out the gold stars to a large number of women for free (I know three girls who suddenly found that they had become gold members). So you can't rely on that system, despite their boasts about it.
