I signed up for the paid service as I had caught a glimpse of a girl who had pressed the meet me button. Intrigued by this I paid for the upgraded service only to find out that it was a fake profile and that the site was riddled with them.

I contacted them twice for a refund and got an edit copy and paste answer

Females can message anything they want to you but makes cannot use any mildly offensive words.

If this is the case then it is very easy for them to use their software to block the fakes. They choose not to do this for their own financial gain.

Expect to be spammed by 20 Easy Holes scrags a day, the site is free so expect nothing, admins are useless at removing spammers & would be better qualified at Licking Windows on the Special Buss for an income,
My advice DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY BECOMING AN UPGRADED MEMBER.

Curiosity.
Crap experience. When the app wasn’t crashing constantly on me it was not letting me sign into my account. After the second account I couldn’t be, making a third. The guy who made this app is lazy as crap.

Have a strick keep it clean policy, even when u keep it clean u will be removed. I believe this is to discriminate who is on there site. Site should be closed for discrimination.

Low barrier to entry makes way for the prevalence of fake profiles and bots. I suspect the company allows for a certain amount of them in order to help drive up sales of account upgrades.

It is likely the person you're interested in isn't active anymore because they're sick of messages from these profiles.

There is a Tinder-inspired feature where you can like and dislike profiles, but it is very tacked-on.

I was looking for a women. I found that most of the people are fake and they want u to sign up to other site or go on snap chat. Or u chat to someone then they ask for a iTunes gift card how hard is it to find decent real women on this site. I am a good looking man that wants to find a decent attractive women it's a joke.

Expectations were high.. In reality.. Low
Women were never available to chat.
Alot of fake users
I wouldn't use the app again.
Actually very demoralizing
I'm Better than This!!

Why have preferences set if they can still contact you?
I have that I wouldn't date a smoker, yet I get plenty of guys who have on their profiles that smoke that contact me!
And heaps of dudes hundreds of kms away message me, getting angry because I don't want a long distance relationship.

POF blocked me mid convo with several guys which sucks cos i was just getting to know a couple of them and I had some good prospects.

My one experience was a nightmare. Male lied about living in Airport West. 72 years Looking for woman. Rip off

Fake profiles and they always get you to talk on snapchat and add them on another website which they want you to put your email to hack you, Keylog your computer.

Was upgraded user, had to watch my bank account as more than 1 charge for 2mths occurred still trying to get money back!

I have had a great time on POF- met at least seven guys. The pool does dry up fast but hey I'm in my 50's and looking for a 50 year old guy (who doesnt smoke). It is what it is

I’ve only been on for 1 week (can’t believe I signed for a whole year!!!) but I’ve already exhausted the full database of users. So many fake users, women wanting me to sign up for Snapchat video and other sites. Hardly any real people on this site (90% of contact comes by way of these business people). What a waste!
