Plenty of Fish Review Summary

Many have heard the old saying that there are “plenty of fish in the sea”. Well, there is one internet dating site that takes this saying seriously. The dating site is appropriately titled Plenty of Fish and it is offered free of charge to any adult who wishes to join. Reviewers of Plenty of Fish like the personality tests that help singles find the right match and they also like the chat rooms and no- cost membership. Plenty of Fish is “Absolutely Free and Well Populated”, but some members feel the site has too many who join under false pretenses, as evidenced by the comment “Free but Full of False Professors”. Overall, however, members seem to like this Dating Web Site and they recommend that other singles give it a try.

I've hooked up with several average-looking women from Plenty of Fish.  Keep in mind that it's not like the "intimate encounters" type sites where you can let women know you just want a hookup.  Here, you have to make 'em believe you're looking for more.

It seems all the guys are looking for sex and...

I found most women to be shooting for the long shot, someone out of their league. Most of the profiles were riddled with BS and pretention. There was no chance they could live up to their self description. I DON"T BELIEVE IT.

I would suspect many male profiles were the same as well.

I've found that mostly this site is used by people just wanting to hook up & fuck. I stopped using it cos i'm constantly sent the same matches (for 2 yrs) i'm constantly getting contacted by men 20 or more yrs my junior wanting "an experienced woman" . I just got sick of the men saying they want a LTR & not really being honest & then i figured it out... they want a LTR sex only relationship where they can choose when & where. Their not looking for companionship or a one on one relationship that grows with time into a loving relationship. They just want sex.

Good luck... take good notice of wheather...

Far too many people lying about age/weight/height/job/life/single/etc. It's like being in a grocery store with all the labels removed from the cans.

So all you have left is a picture to go by ... usually a fairly old picture at that.

The site design/usability is what you would expect from some high school kid.

I doubt very many guys are using that site for real relationships.

I wouldn't consider POF to be anything more than essentially a sex site.

I owe Plenty of Fish a big thank you! I found Mr. Right only a few days after posting and perfecting my profile on this free online dating site. I was skeptical. I had never tried anything like this before, but I also knew that walking into a bar was not the way to find the kind of man I was looking for. Nor could I hand around a bookstore or art museum and flag down good-looking guys to ask them if they were available, thought I was cute and would like to date someone with two kids.

I was very specific in my Plenty of Fish profile. Sure, I got some interesting people contacting me at first. Some...

--- POF OPINION ---

POF is just a large collection of woman, throwing up a profile, to see of they can land the big fish. It's a lottery mentality.

As you would expect, all they end up with is a bunch of guys who don't stand a chance looking for sex AND a bunch of big fish, most likely full of BS, looking for sex ... which they get.

A lot of women there complain that all they are attracting is guys looking for sex, yet they are doing it to themselves.

I'd expect the vast majority of men on that site are indeed simply looking for sex ... it's the only reason men would go there, given the above.

I...

POF REVIEW
-----------------

The site requires a fair amount fo effort to find/locate and self cross match against "potentials"

There are a lot of unmotivated women on the site so it "appears" that most have unrealistic expectations ... they may or may not ... but they certainly require signiifcant motivation in terms of looks./money./etc.

So, seems like some unrealistic expectations.

That leads to most guys on the site only willing to put in the effort it sex is the primary motivation.

POF is best considered as little more than a sex site.

Decent guys looking for anything other than sex are unlikely...

I was a member of POF for a couple of years and also participated in the forums, where I met some genuinely nice people. However, late last year I started seriously corresponding with one forum member who gave the impression and appreance as well rounded crafsman and musician, his name was Akimmbo. After a couple of weeks of writing back and forth I said we should meet and he was very hesitate and said he thought it would be very romantic if we waited until Christmas, I thought it was odd, I even offered to fly down to where he lived, but no he wanted to wait. We continued to correspond for the... read full review »

POF has a very high percentage of single parents ... whether it's good for them or not I don't know.

I'm not a single parent.

POF is just a play site. Don't go there thinking it's a dating site, it is NOT. A selection box for dating does not a dating site make. It's just a large unorganized collection of pictures with lack luster search and segmentation tools.

Very few people on the site will take the site seriously enough to be motivated towards meeting.

Most women on the site have fairly high expectations and approach using the site with more of a lottery mentally than anything else. Most decebt...

I created a profile for my friend Michelle on here, i had to really talk her into it and i knew i needed a FREE site because she refused to PAY to meet men.
The features are fun and you can view photos and contact people for free but the men she came in contact with were really very low quality singles, Many of them did not have a job or aspirations.

 I was on this site for over a year and I found all the wrong guys on it.  I am only writing  on what I have expereinced.  THe men that would chat to me would talk real sweet then when or if I decided to meet them they were only interested in an intimate relationship and that was all.  So many profiles are far fetched , the majoritiy of them anyway .

I moved to a new city a little less than a year ago.  I still don't know many people, so I thought I'd give Plentyoffish.com a try.  I've only been signed up for 5 days and it's a waste of time.  I met one guy for coffee, and we seemed to hit it off.  He was funny, moderately attractive, nice....then I began to notice things.  First, he lied about his age.  On the site, it said he was 28.  His real age: 34.  Not a big deal, but why lie?  We ended up going to dinner, I wasn't hungry so we just split something.  It couldn't have been more than $10, but I didn't even see him sign the credit...

Like that guy up there said (in bad taste) most men lie and say they want a relationship to scam sex from the women and most women want someone "better than them"

I have met and dated several people from there. I am attractive, intelligent and nice. I should have had no problem. But there are only two main types of (almost reasonable) men. The ones that lie to get sex and the pretentious guys who are single because they want a perfect woman who does not exist.

There is a hidden type. One I wish I didn't have to mention.
The terrible losers. Abusive, hard drug addict, lives with mom, can't get it...

I totally agree with the previous poster who said that all the guys on that site are after the obvious thing. It's interesting that a lot of complaints are from men and that they describe the women as "attention whores". Assuming they have good intentions, their experience was just like mine, and they must have jumped ship from Plenty of Filth a long time ago.

Strictly put, the men on Plenty of Filth are LOW-LIFES!! (is that spelled right?) They will eat up your time and not even ask you out like a nice gentleman! just want sex, I take it?If I had a dime for every loser male on that site that...

The guy is also a fake. I've been a member of the site for two years now and although I have had correspondence from some women it was due to my own searches. The "matches" that markus sends are worthless. And this evening I got a harsh message from him saying that I had received my only warning, that I had violated the rules. The rules listed are harassment, nudity, spamming, underage...NONE of which apply to me. I promptly sent a reply to him asking him what rules I violated. I don't expect a reply. I also looked at the rules for myself and he dares put on that page that they can erroneously...
