I haven't been with POF for very long, but so far, it seems to be a pretty average dating site. The only thing that disappoints me is the rarity of good will and respect demonstrated by many users. If I may be so bold as to say, many users have forgotten the original intent of this service: to meet people and overcome the hardships of isolation. Judging by some of the comments left in the reviews...it also appears that some users are callously blaming others for uncontrollable factors. There is no set formula for love; no definite plan to follow to incite someone's good opinion. Broad tendencies exist, of course, but those can only go so far. Sirs, I can empathize with you when you feel hurt that a woman does not find you attractive, but if she doesn't like you, she doesn't like you. No one should have to rationalize their feelings; such a thing is essentially unnatural and definitely paradoxical. Ladies, I understand that for some, this is a new environment and that apprehension can often lead to unintentional rudeness, but please bear in mind that the majority of men reaching out to you are also searching (...but, I implore you to keep your wits about you as well as the lessons from our mothers and fathers). Above all, I wish to plead to whoever reads this (will any one read this?) to remember that the internet is a place of eternity. What ever you publish in this domain, stays here and is easily accessed forever. Please keep this in mind before publicly shaming another.

I don't know if this helps or insults people. I'm not even sure if any one will read this at all. However, I wrote my review and advice with sincerity, so if you are a reader, please remember my good intentions.
