Reviews of Plentyoffish (Plenty Of Fish)

Plenty Of Fish should change its name to Plenty Of Floaters as most of the women on there resemble a bloated, wrinkle-skinned corpse that has been found washed up on some distant shore! They've egos the size of a barrage balloons as they assume they're unrecognized or overlooked stunners. What's even more maddening is the amount of hypocrisy on display. They continually moan about how all the men on POF are only after "one thing" (sex) and yet they display photo's of themselves with their saggy, mottled, middle-aged boobs (probably with foul-smelling cream cheese between them) hanging out over their low-cut tops. Or they're lying on a bed, wearing very little, with their legs akimbo (plenty of fish is correct and it's gone off, way off!) virtually saying, "Get It Here!" Hilarious!! My advice is steer well clear of this truly abysmal excuse for a dating site.

So what if men only want "one thing". Isn't that all what women want too? But in their case it's not sex but a man's money they're after!! Or free meals/drinks/gifts/trips abroad, etc. At least men are after something of the woman even if it is just her body! That's why self-described "respectable" women fear legalised & regulated prostitution and protest so vehemently against it. It's not the degradation of women they're protesting about. They fear it because it would put an end to the gravy train they've been enjoying for centuries. What man would willingly spend hundreds maybe even thousands on dating a "respectable" woman for months on end, having to listen to her inane babble for hour after tedious hour in the forlorn hope of being rewarded with sex when instead he can, for a reasonable price, just pop out (quite literally) to his nearest legal brothel? Sex for a set price, satisfaction without all the boring chit-chat and time left over to have a drink or three with your friends before you take in a movie! Besides, to quote Connor MacCleod from Highlander: "Love is for poets!" Enuff said.

According to “Too Picky” on May 14, 2013
---“I agree there are tons of delusional people on POF, men and women.

Many of the guys on here want to bash all the women on the site but it isn't exactly what you'd call great picking for the ladies either.”---

This is the typical half-baked attempt to say that most men behave badly as often as most women do on Plenty-of-Phakes.

IT ISN’T TRUE. Bad behaving women are by far the problem on the site. Even with the far greater amount of men on the site, it’s mainly the frequency of BAD ATTITUDES from women that are the problem.

Not “great pickings”? This “reviewer” is just cherry-picking interaction with the sharks that are on the site. The ratio of sharks-to-real guys is probably in the 1-in-3 range at worst. It’s more likely at the 1-in-8 range. If her review were fair, it would mention the all the real guys that respond to her ad too. Notice how there is conveniently little mention of this. That is called BIAS and a strong clue that the “review” is just an attempt to say, “Guys do it just as much” (which is NOT TRUE.)

The women? You would be hard pressed to find 1 in 50 that are genuine. By “genuine” I mean those that are not holding out for a 10 even when they are a 7 at best. I’m not even including the fake profiles, the delusional profiles, or the ones that are barely a 2 out of 10 in anyone’s attraction score.

Consider too that most of the reviews from men here say that the response rate is about 2 or 3 in 100. This is after sending out a 100 well-written and tailored to fit messages. Women? The way the system works, they only have to sit back and respond to the messages that, after looking at the guy’s photos, they consider worth responding to. Yet, this “reviewer” claims that it’s the “same” for guys and girls. It clearly isn’t.

What you actually see in that “review” by “Too Picky” is the very reason that men shouldn’t bother with POF. Look at the princess attitude. Apparently it’s TOO much work to sift through 20 or 30 emails and is equivalent to the efforts that guys have to put out. Yes. Princess attitude. She says she doesn’t see herself as a “10”, but read on. A guy can be near perfect, but he has to be within 15-20 miles. There’s just no way she will be flexible or consider accommodating even a perfect 10. Yes, your “highness”. Guys must bend over backwards, but she can sit back and choose as she royally wishes.

Look at the excuses she uses to get guys to stay on POF:

“I normally message guys back, maybe not right away because I'll go weeks or months without logging in to the site.”

This is to pre-empt any hostility for flippantly ignoring messages. “Oh, I was about to get back to you, but since you are so impatient…” Sound familiar? The TRUTH is that most of these delusional princesses are monitoring all the time. Don’t think so? Watch how fast they respond to a negative message.

As expected, she has to make disparaging remarks at any who point out that the site is full of delusional, game-playing, juvenile women.

“To group all women into one category is pretty narrow minded.”

NO ONE is grouping “ALL” women. They are talking SPECIFICALLY about the juvenile ones that infest POF. This has been mentioned here and anywhere else people have called POF for what it is. The typical response is always, “you are grouping ALL women”. NO. No critic has really done that.

Her agenda is the usual one. It’s trying to downplay the bad attitude of spent, delusional women on POF by suggesting that BOTH genders do it and do it just as much. She says:

“There are actual people on POF looking for relationships, unfortunately there are far more people playing games (both genders).”

That both genders do it (relatively as much and as deeply) is totally false. By far, it is the women that play these games on POF. If what she said were true, there wouldn’t be the huge amounts of the same complaint (that POF is full of immature princesses) found anytime people talk about POF. There may be sleazy men, but they aren’t anywhere near the proportion this “reviewer” is suggesting (much less anything close to the freaking percentage of delusional princesses on POF).

Stay away from POF. All you get are delusional women that think they are god’s gift to mankind (just like reviewers that try to equate the behaviour of men on POF to that of the self-obsessed women on POF).

I agree there are tons of delusional people on POF, men and women.

Many of the guys on here want to bash all the women on the site but it isn't exactly what you'd call great picking for the ladies either. I'm not a 10 and I know that (I'm not ugly either) but I don't expect to date a 10. I wouldn't want to date someone like that, they tend to be shallow, self absorbed people who don't know how to have an intelligent conversation about anything of substance.

I say in my profile that I'm only interested in meeting someone who lives within 15-20 miles of me. I just want to be messaged by someone who lives in the same town as me who isn't just looking for a casual encounter (My profile says I'm looking for a relationship not a hook up). I work nights and driving 45 minutes to an hr to hangout with somebody after I've been on my feet at work for the past 12hrs isn't something I'm willing to do....does that make me too picky? I'm not interested in coming over to your place for a massage after work when I know nothing about you....does that make me too picky? I tell you I have to work until 11pm and not interested in coming over after for a movie date as the first date....does that make me too picky? I don't feel that movies at your house and cuddling on the couch are first or second date activities. Does that make me old fashioned? A prude? Picky? A delusional bitch?

I normally message guys back, maybe not right away because I'll go weeks or months without logging in to the site. However, most guys who message me live farther away than what I'm looking for and I let them know that. I'm not rude about it and it has nothing to do with their looks, profession or the car they drive. The guy could look like a model, make a million dollars a year, drive a BMW, do charity work in third world countries but if he doesn't live close enough for me to spend time with him I'm not interested.

Or I get someone from the other end of the spectrum who messages me with things that only a freak would say to a complete stranger. When did it become ok for the initial message to be "wanna fuck?" or "do you swallow?" or anything along those lines. Also, why does asking if you can send me pic mean you think I want to see you naked? When did hanging out become code for sex? My understanding of hanging out is getting to know someone and not really doing anything in particular, maybe go play pool, to the beach, a local venue to hear a band or something like that it doesn't mean I'll come over to your place for a quickie. And NO, I don't usually respond (if I do it isn't nicely) to these guys....does that make me too picky?

To group all women into one category is pretty narrow minded.

There are actual people on POF looking for relationships, unfortunately there are far more people playing games (both genders).

Piece of advice men. Dont bother. The women are childish picky and immature. They care about 3 things looks looks & looks which is ironic since most of them are lacking in that department

I last 5 days on the site and got bored of being ignored. Ask me anything or say hello and you message and they view and ignore. On the last day I on purpose picked the fattiest and nasty women I could find. sent out 35 copy and paste emails to them. Now I am not a bad looking chap but every1 of these women didnt reply but they all looked. I have no idea how they can look a gift horse in the mouth like they did. they are either seriously overrating how great they are or they are mentally ill

avoid this hideous twisted sorry excuse for a dating site. If its that good how come when you log out you see ads for other sites?

I just joined. I am ex mil, so my posted pictures generated over a dozen messages within an hour or two....that said, they were all 3's at best.

As most here have pointed out, at least in my area I am seeing a whole lot of attitude from all the women form the totally over weight and unattractive to the semi attractive ones.

And the kids...jesus! I knew getting divorced and entering the dating pool at my age was going to be rough, but POF is ridiculous.

I could write a book about my experiences with online dating. All the sites are going to give you the same results. If you have time you want to waste meeting people, and going on pointless dates then online dating is for you. It's nothing more then a huge tangled messy web. I've had much success with email's and meeting people but that's about it. I have found you cannot expect any female to close her account no matter how well things are going. I believe people become addicted to the feeling of having numerous people paying attention to them. You can wine, dine, and blow her away, but she'll still be signing into her account daily to check her messages. When someone else catches her attention she'll back off, and when that falls through she'll come back. No one admits it, because their profile clearly stated they don't play games. I am sure its the same with guys. Its not acceptable to cheat on someone, but for some reason no one seems to think dating numerous people at the same time is wrong. The site would be much more successful if the users would grow up, slow down and get to know one person at a time. All of the success stories they have all have one thing in common they meet, hit it off, and close their accounts. Its a shame only .05% of the people on the site can overcome the fear that someone better will come around. The users make me give all online dating sites 0-1 star.

If you are an average/below average or overweight broad you dont go into a bar and expect the hottest men in there to hit on you, so why do the women on this site believe thats whats going to happen when they go online?
You have to have a six pack, earn a fortune, drive a top of the range car and have model looks and then these broads will reply. Are you kidding me. Some one to ride in on his stallion and rescue them from the humdrum lives and be happy ever after

Are these broads that stupid to think such a man would frequent a free site. You dont think in the real world that he would be over-run by hot chicks and the last place he would go would be a free dating site. Even if he did come on the site would he really reply to average rude and overweight women who call themselves princesses? Its not rocket science the answer is no

and for Christ sakes stop with all the b.s fluffy headlines. Nobody including yourselves believe the looking for a genuine honest man is what you want otherwise you would have found him by now. Do you seriously believe you are the only one on the site with the fake headline? I'm sure there are oddballs on POF but you trying to tell me no genuine and honest guys on the site. I dont believe you. You want the hottest guy as I have said above to message you but its not gonna happen is it. So cut the crap with the ooh only message me if you are kind and genuine cos its total bullshit, stop playing men for saps. If you can judge who is honest simply by looking at their profile you should get a job as a psychic

worst profile I have seen and there have been many was someone who was in her 30s. No job, lived at home, no car and was pregnant but according to her its okay as he isnt around and she was picky as hell in the profile too.

Its a trailer park site nothing more. One profile said you must have blue eyes only. I checked and she wasnt joking. You are really going to eliminate people who might be a good catch cos they dont have blue eyes?? are you sick in the head.
Another one is must be 6ft+, so if a guy is 5foot 12 you are crossing him off because of an inch. You for real?

There are a few attractive women but they dont reply back. Apart from one who told me I was a weirdo and a freak after simply asking how she was. That quite frankly summed the site up as I am neither. Its not hard to see why these people are single

Get this through your thick head ya dumb broads, You arent princesses and no freakin prince is gonna come and rescue you from your pathetic internet based life. Its not happening. Try getting used to reality instead of watching Jersey Shore and thinking you can get a man like that

The site is for broads that are simply undateable.

If I sound pissed its cos I am and I hate having my time wasted

Sweet, kind, loving, caring, affectionate, modest, friendly. down to earth, non demanding non delusional. Non feminist.-These are the some of the things you WONT find on POF from the women.

I,ve just closed my account down, tired of all the women pouting in the photos showing their tattoos and everyone of them thinking they are the best thing since sliced bread. Women all think they are 12s nevermind 10s and its just a waste of time

There must be at least 100 men for every women so you,re pissing in the wind trying to get a reply and lets face it the women on here are not keepers. They are self centred egotistical ignorant beasts . If more men didnt open accounts or closed the ones they have then the women wouldnt be able to act like they do on there. The women on the site are the most out of touch PICKIEST I ever come across.

stay on the site and you,ll end up hating women. or maybe they are all like the ones you find on POF and its how screwed society is and they deserve to be hated

There should be a rating of ZERO stars just for Plenty-of-Filets

You will only find: Fakes, Frauds, Delusional Women, Downright Mental Cases, Ultra-High Mileage Trash, etc.

Forum is run by a biased Fem-N#zi (not kidding.)

Site owner is not interested in creating a rewarding online dating experience at all. He's only in it for the money. Don't waste your time.

It really, really sucks. Here's the full review:
