Reviews of Plentyoffish (Plenty Of Fish)

I agree with all the complain about the sites girl members - they are all bottom-fillers who are incapable of relationships, but given a status they would never imagine in the real world.

Any man below a '9' struggles to get many dates and this leads to huge frustration and reaffirms the girls over-estimation of themselves. Moreover, those dates we make are usually with 1s who we wouldn't even consider anywhere else.

I have found a way around this problem, however. I'm about a 7 and do relatively well in real life; crap on Pof. I just can't get the top ones and all the rest seem to get as much mail and being rejected by the girl who can't live a day without McDonalds isn't much fun.

What I have done is to create a fake profile with a male 10. I email girls, get their numbers and arrange a date for which the girl is so excited -"I'm gonna have Brad Pitt", she thinks.

I arrange everything through a second phone and get her to meet '10' at a bar and to wait for him to arrive. Of course he doesn't; she gets a text while at the bar telling her she is not in 10s league and so he won't come.

I know lots about her and crucially, she's been stood-up. If she is worth a go, I (me) approach her, comfort her and make a move. She has come out for a date and will not want to feel she has left empty handed. You wouldn't beleive how easy this is; I have never got laid more in my whole life than with this tactic. It works about 33% of the time.

So guys, we can't beat the system and so we need to get round it. Innovation is the way to play Pof, not doing what everyone else does.
Think outside the box and it can work.

The site does suck but that's to be expected. They all do. I looked at match.com and many of the profiles on pof were on there as well. I can't even fathom paying for the online dating experience. Online dating is a mature industry. Fewer and fewer people are signing up because everyone knows it's a scam. At best it's just prostitution.

As a male, once you come to understand that no woman really needs the internet to get a date, or get laid, or get free stuff and that no matter what a female looks like--how fat she it, how stupid she is, how many kids she has that she neglects she'll always get attention from guys--then you can view sites like pof and the skanks that populate it in the proper light. There's a big difference between getting a one-handed email and being the type of girl who can actually make a man want to stay. The females that populate the online dating sites--especially pof--can't and will never be able to tell the difference. They can't help it. They're all attracted to the losers which is why they will always fail at this area of their life--no matter how many hundreds of emails fill their inbox.

Perusing the profiles in my area is really just a sociological treatise on the effect of poor choices among the lower classes. And a not often mentioned dirty little secret about women? THEY LIE! About education level, marital history and status, looks, criminal history, employment, substance abuse habits, the fact that they're infertile due to myriad bouts with various and sundry std's--virtually everything. I'm no freud, but a favorite game of mine is to peruse the pof profiles and try to discern which ones were written by a female just after a fresh dose of whatever psychotropic anti-depressant she's on. Try it. It's a real eye opener and it will force you to see these delicate little flowers for what they really are: horribly flawed (and horrible) people. Any clown can spot a drunkard--takes real skill to tell the difference between paxil and cymbalta.

It would be nice to meet a girl with a personality. A serious person. A kind-of intellectual. Discrete, sincere. Someone with some curiosity who aspires to something more than beer, shopping and single-motherhood. Who understands the link between her short-attention span, her "sarcastic" personality and her constant state of aloneness. But that's way too much to ask out of a forum like pof where slutty, neglectful single mothers and fickle, amoral, oversexed party girls go to try and get their self esteem back by riding a carousel of cock because they don't know anything else.

For some reason every girl on pof not cashing some kind of support check is a nurse or a teacher. Nurses are sociopaths. You can see it just by looking at their profiles. No need to really interview them. That's if you need any extra clues other than the plain fact that they're all still single at any age. Every teacher I ever had was a communist who was in open violation of the Leviticus declaration. And the tattoos. Enough with the tattoos popeye. Probably got yourself a good dose of hepatitis with that rose on your neck. There are people, right now, in the Mayo clinic, dying from infection. So do you really want to try to make the case for that needle and the guy who wielded it?

POF has way too many females with the words "princess", "diva", "goddess" or "queen" somewhere in her profile. Who would bother with someone like that? Most of the time it's right in the screen name so you don't even have to read the rest of it. It's mostly shady single mothers with no visible means of support. Some "queen".

Trolling through pof, I have never seen so many hard-boiled, sun-dried, 100 proof, rough-neck leather women in my life. Of any age. I started to wonder if there was some factory that churns them all out. There has to be--they're all so exactly alike. The motorcycle obsession, the face-painting, ending every word with an "i" an "n" and an apostrophe. The blank, dim, 1000 yard stare at the initials "S.A.T.". The barb-wire tats. The suspiciously fatherless offspring. All of them all on there screaming about how they wanna find a man. How are you going to find a man?--You ARE a man!! And any man who would ever want to spend any time with you is eventually just going to leave you. For another man.

Fat girls really seem to be in demand on pof as well. I guess they're prized for their pelts or something. That must be the old farm milieu coming to the fore. Once you finish with the sister and the barn animals I suppose it's not that much of a stretch. And while it is certainly true that fat girls have more sex than any other organism on this planet, they never meet the parents. That's better for all involved though. Fat chicks have personalities as ugly as their LDL cholesterol count.

I really think the whole online meeting networking thing is making women worse off. Even among the women who claim to know what they want they are poor selectors. How do I know? Well because the women themselves will tell you so--as many have on their review here. You could line up a million good normal guys then throw in one registered sex offender. These stupid broads will pick the sex offender every time then complain that all guys are losers and liars. It really is amazing. How the hell can you be so stupid as to end up on a date with a guy who's married? How can you be that vacant? Or a guy who's been to prison? Think of all the chances women have in their daily life, all the men they talk to and deal with, all the men they go out with, screw, tease, and flirt with and you're actually going to tell me that they've developed thru this experience absolutely no social intelligence whatsoever to screen these guys out? Please. PLEASE! These women are losers and they will die alone. Hopefully they never breed.

POF should be called POS. The S (Plenty Of Scams) can also stand for Scam.

It all about looks. If you do not have a good pic don't bother. Then if you do get ready for the serial daters or the women who you visually are not attracted to.

Online dating is a joke any more. Women have more fun with all the freebies they can get. Guys do it to but not as much.

POS.. I mean POF needs to have a tag system that tells how many years that profile has been on. Based on face recognition software. Like on Face Book when you say who is who in a pic it pics it up (its Big Brother tracking you is all).

I'm not saying POF does not work. It probably does, but for a very small percent of all users at best.

The site needs better filters, like for body type and looks. Need a look rating as well.

By one star I mean 1 out of 10. I have been using the site for the past 4 months and have only been on one date. This sites filled with girls just wanting attention. They want to feel like a bunch of dudes are trying to get with them cause in real life they don't feel like something is missing. Half of them just take pictures of them selves and think very highly of themselves which most the stuff in their profile is probably just facts about them and lie about who they really are. Any time a good looking girl responds to me they end up ignoring after a couple messages cause it probably gets lost in the 100 other messages they get. I sit there and wonder why I've been with good looking women in real life and the only girls who respond to me on this site the majority of the time clearly have serious mental issues or ones I probably wouldn't click with at all. One time I asked a girl if she was into me And she responded...'well I think your dogs cute'. I'm siting there like wtf, this girls like a 6 out 10. A cute face at most, and she was overweight. If she lost like 35 pounds she's be like an 8 best. Of course I don't even waste my time saying any thing nasty back cause they will just ignore or say probably say something worse back. I know it sounds cheesy but a bunch of girls rated me in the top 50 dudes based on looks when I was in high school and apparently I was 33 out of 50. Being 400 guys in my class. I'm 5 8 and still in college so if your short with decent looks apparently that not of enough for these pathetic girls.

I've been on the site off and on for about two years and have found several really fine women, who, longer term didn't work out, but, probably could have had circumstances been different.

Before joining I checked out eHarmony and Match, but, both had too many complaints about credit card charges and misleading advertising. Both eHarmony and Match have a high percentage of women also on POF.

POF is free. There are more members (fish) and an infinite variety of women. I've never had a really bad date, I'm just not the kind of guy to be a problem nor get excited if the woman is not exactly as advertised, I just don't do it again with her.

I used to get far too many emails (3 or 4 a day) from women who were clearly not for me although I felt obligated to write something nice in return. Since I've been on I have rewritten my profile about six times, not only to attract the kind of woman I am seeking but to cause those I am not interested in to read it and unselect themselves.The women who either do respond or who I write to are now fewer but much more likely to be good companions.

The most common issue here in Florida seems to be the definition of "average" body type. I've found that to mean about 30 to 40 lbs. overweight and, being somewhat of a fitness buff, I cannot accept a woman in that condition nor do I appreciate the falsehood of checking "average" body type. So, now I look at the pictures more carefully as well as read the profiles. I look at grammar, spelling, and coherence of thought.

Lately I have restricted my searches to those with a minimum of a graduate or master's degree. I just don't do will with unintelligent people and that seems to be as good a filter as any although I will thoroughly review and probably respond to any woman who is reasonably attractive who writes to me. After all, if she has the moxie and good taste (tongue in cheek) to write me, there just may be something there.

All in all, I think it's an excellent site provided you write the truth about yourself and describe your likes and dislikes in a possible mate.

In writing your own profile, take some time to see that it reads exactly the way you want to be seen, has some humor and lightness about it and the end result is that you will find fewer women but more of those who might really make a good match for you.

Oh, yeah, I'm over 60, no beer belly, am hair challenged, and look masculine rather than handsome. I seem to attract the 50 to 66 age group.

That might skew the average results that you get, but I have no complaints.

Ken

all the broads on here are looking for somebody that doesnt exist mister perfect
you have to tick every single box be rich and handsome and funny if you want the slightest chance of a reply they are simply attention whores who like all the attention but will only date a guy who is a model

the females on here are way over estimating their own worth and have serious attitude problems

its not a dating site its a chat site for women to sit and boost their ego, same profiles on from a year ago and they online all the time, been on a year and cant get a date even though they must have had a shit load of mail. Its just a game to them. They wouldnt know honesty if it hit them in the face

If you think I`m joking then set your email account up and when you have been on a month and been ignored by everyone from a pig to a dog then set up a fake profile with 10/10 guy and see how many emails you get

just a sad site with females hoping to find mr perfect totally ignoring the fact they are vile

Truly horrific train wreck of a site.Only 2 types of women on here ugly ones and vain ones and no matter which type you message you wont get a reply. All of them are so stuck up its laughable. I am guessing the site must be 90% men as even the ugly women dont reply so they must be getting 100s of messages a day

Full of ignorant nasty women. No way Miss Right would be on a site like this

I've been a free member of POF for 5 or 6 years and in December I finally decided to "upgrade" to a FULL membership. The signup process automatically charged me for 6 months; I wrote them and explained that's not what I wanted; they refunded la very small portion of the 6 month membership. A couple weeks ago, I had a "crazy" contact me; apparently he didn't like the fact that I went on line once we were talking on the phone (no date set up) and he sent me a crazy email saying something like I should act my age and he closed his account!

THEN today I get a message from POF that they are closing my account - of course they won't give a reason!! I have demanded the return of the 2 unused months - we'll see how well that goes. I can honestly say I don't believe I did anything to violate their rules.

There are a lot of sites out there and I feel of the various ones I tried, PLENTY OF FISH does have a lot of losers and you don't get very much response. I posted my new pics on another site (Senior People Meet) and have had numerous views (over 100) and contacts for only $15 a month.

Do yourself a favor; dump POF and go for the sites that are worth it.

Well, it's really beautiful Effort, the authors are very beautiful information share to me...
You can share this blog was very grateful. If you have more update about this post please share me. .... Thanks!

Cybergirl, I'm afraid I violated a lot of your rules. I have a brief profile, one crappy picture I made myself with a cellphone. I've been on a few months, but I've gone out with a bunch of women on the site, been invited to their apartments, and even their bedrooms. I've even declined some of those invitations, to a cacophony of booing from my friends.

I agree with what a lot of the men are saying, as internet dating can be very frustrating. Response rates are low, unless you look like a movie star (I look more like a Euro Bond villain). It's definitely disheartening to shoot off a bunch of emails, and get few if any responses back.

But it's a numbers game, as anything in life. The more you persist, the more success you'll have. You often have to alter your profile, change pictures, try new things. Women who don't respond right away will often respond a month later (for whatever reason). Never be rude, no matter how much you need the emotional release.

Most women on POF, like most people in life, are not dateable (at least for me). The older they are, the more baggage they bring. But that's life. Few people look like their pics when you meet them. Some look better (like the girl I dated for a few months). Most look worse.

Most have interesting stories to tell even if I'm not physically attracted to them. I've never had a bad date, even if some of the dates were kinda boring. I've only been really annoyed once, by a hot woman with a massive sense of entitlement. Never called her back.

Women have to put up with psychos and douchebags. But men have to put up with craziness, neediness and bitchiness. Sort of like in real life.

To the woman below who "deeply" emailed with a guy and then he chickened out on a meeting.... he was probably married. There are a lot of married men on the site trolling for something on the side.

Yes, POF (or any other site) can be very frustrating, especially if you're a man. But unfortunately, few of us have better alternatives for meeting new people, unless we work in an environment with a lot of members of the opposite sex, or have tons of friends. I don't, so my options are limited.

It's a numbers game. Yes, the medium favors hot chicks (LIFE favors hot chicks). It may not be for you, but don't give up too easily. And it's just one way of meeting people. That's the way you should look at it.
