I think this is a horrible dating site. I have had five complete scams that I have notified the administration about. You put in their searches and you wanna date local and it sets you up with people... See more

About Plenty of Fish Dating
Written by the company
The Plenty of Fish story begins all the way back in the distant year of 2003 when it laid down its roots as the first free online dating site. POF believes that building a community where people feel free to be themselves, helps create the most meaningful connections. Every day, Plenty of Fish helps people find their blanket thief, Ikea sherpa, personal spider hunter…you get the point.
POF has always been true to itself, allowing members to choose their own path to connection on the app and matching members based on the things that ultimately make for real, long-lasting love. That’s why Plenty of Fish was the first dating app to ditch face filters. People can feel free to just be themselves. No pressure, just real connections.

Half the women have too much baggage…
Half the women have too much baggage (lots of children) and the other half are just plain weird
The women in their 40s have extremely large egos and act like they're still 21
The strangest thing is the more unattractive and out of shape they are the pickier they are. Since when could they afford to pick and choose?
You get a flow of likes before you purchase the subscription
Then when you become a premium member, none of the women who liked you responds to your messages. The level of activity is much higher on SttDate.com
and the women who are actively engaged in correspondence are genuine. When you request to cancel your Pof subscription, you start getting that flow of likes again. They want you to renew your membership and keep on paying. I don't know how dumb one must be to believe that this can be true.
Another overpriced dating scam full of…
Another overpriced dating scam full of fake accounts. Remember people, you should never have to pay to speak to another person.
I'd been on this site for a while then suddenly baned
I'd been on this site for a while, then out of the blue I had my account suspended, I appealed this and I was then informed by 'customer services' that my account had been permanently banned for violating their terms and conditions.
No explanation was given as to precisely what violation I had committed. I genuinely couldn't think of anything that could have caused this other than a spurious complaint.
And of course having paid for a years subscription no refund was given for the term remaining.
In so many words the 'customer service' told me
' We don't have to tell you why we're banning you and we're keeping your money and by the way there's nothing you can do about it'
So they ban you, take your money and then refuse to engage with you when you query it.
An absolutely diabolical and arrogant company.
Most profiles are empty of any…
Most profiles are empty of any description and lots of old photos are being used.
Nearly all of the females I encountered had some kind of issue/ collection of red flags. I'm not going into details but most were fruit loops
There's maybe 1 in 1000 are genuine & attractive. Good luck finding them
The rest are the undateables and barrel scrapers
Do not by any means deposit any money…
Do not by any means deposit any money into this site u will be so disappointed it is a scam
🙏🙏🙏🙏 do not be tempted by people liking your profile it is a scam
2 and 3s who want the man of their…
2 and 3s who want the man of their dreams and won't settle. Unless you're a male model they'll ignore you.
Hilariously bad. They have no self awareness at all. How can you seriously expect a good looking partner if you're not attractive yourself??
I met Bruno Poirier on plenty of fish
I met Bruno Poirier on plenty of fish. His Birthday is March 26, 1978. He is unmedicated schizophrenic and very dangerous. He was charged with multiple assaults on me. He spat at me, pulled a knife on me, pushed me down the stairs and threw me out of his car on the highway. He has untreated schizophrenia hallucinations, delusions and paranoia. He is very dangerous. Ladies be aware do not meet this guy.

I would now give it zero stars if I could.
When I first joined POF in 2010, it was a fairly decent site where women usually always replied to your messaages, even if it was a 'No thanks, but you are not what I'm looking for' type of reply and I had quite a few dates on there as well as the site having a generally positive vibe.
The site seemed to go downhill after around 2015 and now in 2026, the place is an absolute haven of dystopia with women who are skanks and also a lot of fake profiles.
Reading many of the profiles, the women have an extremely deluded ideology, as well as demanding and self-entitled and only want a bloke who is extremely attractive, must be at least 6ft 2 ins tall, muscular, be extremely confident with zero emotional flaws and must have a decent job, own house and car - All of that yet most of these women are far from attractive (especially in their personality/attitude) are rude, arrogant and have a list of issues a mile long.
None of the women ever reply to your messages now and don't even look at your profile despite many claiming to 'like you'.
The site now only allows you to send just one message every 24 hrs - unless you subscribe of course (£££)
Even if you subscribe, you are greeted with exactly the same results as if you was a non-paying member - Absolute Jack Zero.
A truly horrible place now which is just about making money and messing with your emotions and mental health and I advise any decent, single guys to avoid it and stick to the pub, supermarket or library instead as this site is now run by money-grabbing men-haters !
If you pay for a 1 year subscription
If you pay for a 1 year subscription, they will still ask you for more money. On top of that, if you try to contact customer service about it, they will literally ask you if you are law enforcement. Pretty sketchy.

Would give zero 0 review but there is none.
I purchased premium one year subscription, after 4 days which I was still finishing my profile, my account disappeared, trying to reach someone/ customer service to resolve it, no answer Just getting automatic message to fill form which none the reason there is my problem, the only option is choosing reason for ban/ Suspend! Don’t waste your time or money. I am in process of getting back my money through my credit card company.
The art of conversation on this site…
The art of conversation on this site really is dead. Nobody can string a sentence together
After a few weeks I realized that no decent women will be on this site for long before they leave in disgust
Which explains why the women that are on this site long term are the exact opposite of decent
PoF failed my bare minimum…
PoF failed my bare minimum expectations. Hit cooldown period 3 times. Only had new account less than 5 full days. 48 likes towards my free version account and no ROI. Had more genuine interactions with strangers in person. Its a shame and should be illegal that finding a connection with another human being is held hostage by a pay to play wall.

This dating site is about as bad as it gets on the internet. Full of very very low grade profiles, criminals and bots. The match group has gone so far downhill please do not WASTE your money on their range of useless dating websites.
To many times I get a message "Someone…
To many times I get a message "Someone wants to meet you" but it is a like I can not see. It is just a promo to sign up to seek likes. To much misinformation sent, I use to pay and still got misinformed, so why pay??

I’m using this POF almost 7 months, look like all is scammer. after I talked to 4-5 Asian Guys at WhatsApp, they all is business man or working in the high-tech company. And he was have one kid.
