You must have a screw loose!

#1: The majority of people on POF are not stuck up. They are the total opposite, losers with no education/jobs/ and a lot of times not even a car.

#2: The site is and always has been free.

Just a correction: out here in the American west and southwest, if you do not have a car you do not go and its huge distances. 97% of New Mexicans have transportation. I think POF ask that question so that both parties can determine how they can get togther.

Agree 100% ... In So Cal: non educated men with no moral compasses

I'm with you on that. A lot of men on there are just pervs looking to get some because they obviously can't get it by personality alone. Then there are those shirtless body building douche bags who think showing me their abs will actually mean I'd date or let alone sleep with them. Yes, your abs are nice but obviously you're showing me how shallow your personality is. If all someone can show is their abs, they obviously don't have anything else going for them intellectually or character-wise. I personally don't go for pretty boys, been there, done that. One guy took longer than me to get ready in the morning spending a lot of his time (wasting mine) looking in the mirror fixing his hair- OH COME ON!. I've been told I'm good looking but I make it a point to show that it's beauty and brains. Then those who *censored* about snobs on Plenty of Fish are obviously a different type of loser- lower than your average loser. Either they are just bitter that they go for women way out of their league and then act surprised when they are rejected- Douche bag, have you looked in the mirror first and evaluated your life?! Obviously if someone says that a free website like POF has snobs, then they are REALLY losers. Get educated and fix yourself before you take a profile pick. Women are not as judgmental about looks as many might think. Some people can't even spell (I'm not the spelling police, BUT DAMN!) ever heard of spell check and first impressions- you should try that some time. So if you see a beautiful, educated woman on there and you barely got through High School and she won't respond to your loser ass, don't get pissed, look for someone in your caliber because these women will not even bother responding to you. AND THEN there are those A**Holes who write a two sentence description of themselves and a paragraph of who they are looking for. A**hole! if you can't write much about yourself and obviously are looking for superwoman with qualities YOU obviously know you don't have then you are DELUSIONAL! and maybe just give up on dating all together because you need to get your sh*t together. Don't harass women for "more pics, please" and insist that they have to prove they are not a "fatty"because you made your own terrible decisions in dating a woman for her body and found out that she was larger than you'd prefer. ''Hey sexy" or "Hi, you're hot" is not a first, second or third email( third email if she hasn't already blocked your shallow a**). All I'm sayin g is- get it together, don't label women who prefer better standards for themselves (something you obviously haven't done yourself). Dont hate- act decent and participate. Know your limits please!!!

What does a car (or material possession) period have to do with friends, etc.

Someone could just be in a transitionary phase or down on their luck, it doesn't mean they are a loser in my humble opinion

It's not even that they are losers. They let anyone on there. I'm sure if some of these girls on the site knew who half these guys really are they wouldn't use the site. They wouldn't contact these guys at all.

I found my best friend's abuse ex boyfriend on there. He verbally and mentally abused her for over five years. She was not allowed to do anything but go to work, attend her college classes (which he complained about, even though he's never attended college [just trade school, and he never found work after]), and be at his home. When she got a new job and her self-esteem started to come back, she found out he had been cheating on her with many different girls.

When she had the courage to leave him, he started harrassing her. He would send emails, call her, text her, and email me and another friend of hers. He drives past her house every day. He will not take responsibility for his cheating, he blames her. He bad mouths her to everyone he can, while she never even speaks about him. She has never said a bad thing since she left him, but he constantly calls her names. He plays the victim while she worries about her health everyday. She is currently waiting for the results from her tests to see if he gave her anything. She sees a councelor she cannot afford because she's so terrified and messed up because of him.

That is just terrible. I also met someone on there that was verbally abusive and just plain crazy. This website does not screen people and nut bag can go on there and post a profile. It is a good thing your friend got out of that and I feel that the people who run this website so be held accountable for your friends abuse

Wow! It sounds like you're describing one of my best friend's abusing boyfriend as well. The abuse, the criticism, the control, the cheating, the stalking, the victimizing. Crazy. And she met her on POF too. Glad she's over that.

Its BAD MEN and WOMEN on all of the sites, lol... 6 figured men ,should choose the six figure sites, better yet, why be on a dating site,.im sure thats plenty of single available women in their circle... Men look for more vulnerable women on these sites, because most of the time its easier prey for them, OR AT LEAST they think. Most have the mentally, that women are desperate especially online, they feel women shouldnt have standards, when their online, MEN FAIL to realize, theyre on their too, lol... For a good tangle, it takes two or more, lol... Bottom line, if every one of the opposite sex is not good enough, Then stay off, lol....problem solves itself...

I couldn't agree with you more; men on social security disability, no car, no job, or wanting a one night stand.

I totally agree with you! Very few men want to make an effort to make time to get to know you by exchanging a few e mails and isnt that the exact opposite of what we teach our children - don't go up to strangers and go off with them???? Take some time, exchange a few letters and get to know each other a little. If they are not willing to do that, how are either male or female to know just who you REALLY are going to meet. Rarely does the face or the profile match the person you meet that night. We have to be safe and smart, its not a snobby thing, its a smart choice. Soulwings

People on the site have so many other free members at their fingertips talking to them or NOT talking to them depending upon their gender that many are jaded and unfriendly because they deal with so many people all day. Hard to beleive this is the behavior of people on other sites.

From my experience thus far, it's been a mix of both. Uneducated AND stuck up groups. I think the ones that are stuck up don't realize it and get on POF because everyone else they've tried to date won't tolerate their snootiness

Plenty of Old Fish I call it. Many wornout hags whose best days are long past and without common(?) courtesy. Ninety percent of the women I contacted on POF--and I contacted a lot just to see how many would reply to my message--didn't even bother replying in return; they only looked at my profile. Excuse me! Is it asking too much for a quick reply even if it's a simple: "Thanks for your interest but you're just not my type," or something similar.

I'm an average looking guy who's in his mid-40s, 6' 2"/210 lbs., into physical fitness and certainly not bad looking--at least that's what I've been told so I don't feel that's an issue. I've replied to all women who sent me messages, even those way too old for me or those I wouldn't have sex with if they offered to pay me big bucks, as a matter of courtesy.

Those mannerless hags are the online equivalent of those b*tches you pass by on the street, in the supermarket aisle, etc. and say a friendly "hello" to and they just look at you in return and say nothing. EXCUSE ME! I didn't ask you if you wanna f*ck, I just said HELLO!

My conclusion is this: unless you're above-average in the looks dept. (and contrary to what dating gurus say, women on online dating sites DO judge you by your looks), I wouldn't waste much time trying to find that "special someone" on Plenty of Fish or other online dating sites. Yes, I know there are exceptions to the rule but that doesn't change "the rule." Your best bet is to get out there in the real world and socialize if you want to find that special someone. Also, dieting and exercise along with a decent haircut and clothing--if you are lacking in any of these areas--is another prerequisite if you want to make a good impression and increase your chances of attracting someone.

Hey man, you've got a good sense of humor and seem to take it in stride.

The reason why women don't bother replying to your message is because we seem to live in a fast paced society these days. More so than ever before. Women are receiving countless, I mean hundreds of emails. So it's very time consuming and consequently frustrating for them to bother replying.
If you had met that women in public and got to know her, asked her out, chances are you'd get a courtesy 'no thanks', as opposed to completely ignored. It's the online dating world, real world rules do not apply, unfortunately.

so sad. i'm just on here to read comments about POF, but these pathetic comments make it so perfectly clear why no one is responding. get your own house in order: be, do, have. start at step 1. and see how your responses improve.

You're expectations are way too high.

Just like in a bar or a club, women are usually outnumbered 10:1 by men, which means that they have their pick.

On average, a guy might receive 5 to 10 emails a day, and most of those are replies to emails he sent earlier in the day.

Women, on the other hand, can receive literally hundreds of emails on a daily basis. Even if it only takes one minute to reply with "not interested, thanks" those minutes add up fast.

Why would anyone waste their time replying to hundreds of emails from people they have no interest in meeting or having a conversation with?

If you enter the online dating world with expectations, you will be disappointed every time.

most women are tired of men trying to be sly. The educated women should not have to say hi back because you feel like saying hello due to your admiring them. They also have their responsibilities and lives to manage.

If every guy walks by admiring them says hello, it will eventually become a bother and really tiring.

I signed up about 6months ago and was on there for about 1 month and then deleted my profile. I decided to go back recently and I only lasted 3 days. There are as many old hags as OLD farts. I'm 44 and was trying to look for someone around my age. To my surprise, the same guys that were there 6months ago were still there searching for that SPECIAL ONE woman in their lives, which is a F* buddy. Or maybe they became addicted. Men should just post that on their profiles. Most men do not bother to read profiles and are only interested in women sending them pictures. Then you have the snobs- both young and old- looking for a young, perfect body, beautiful and intelligent lady to fulfill their fantasies. Whatever!! I received over 50 emails each day, and most of them were "hi" or "hello", to which is was pointless to respond. When I did respond, no more emails followed! And yes, women and men, check pictures before responding. We are all shallow! If you're looking for a FB, or just a one night stand- this is the site. Also, too many coffee drinkers...LOL!

"To my surprise, the same guys that were there 6months ago were still there searching for that SPECIAL ONE woman in their lives"

FYI, the same is true of the women - some are there for years. They've probably had THOUSANDS of offers (unlike most men who are lucky if they get one offer a week), but yet they've turned them ALL down? Not all men are interested in NSA only, so where does that leave your theory that it's all the men's fault?

"Then you have the snobs- both young and old- looking for a young, perfect body, beautiful and intelligent lady to fulfill their fantasies."

The alternative to that (accepting just anyone) is known as "desperation". See my previous paragraph - many women are just as bad, if not worse, and they won't settle for anything less than perfect.

"I received over 50 emails each day, and most of them were "hi" or "hello", to which is was pointless to respond."

If you go to Edit Profile > Mail Settings you can set a minimum length for first contact messages which will block those one word emails.

I am a successful 35 year old male. I've been on pof for a few years now and have really only landed a few dates. I've moved around the country alot. As a guy, I believe the duration you've been on this site doesn't really mean so much. But Attractive women being on here along time could mean something different. You cannot rate a dating website by accepting women's perspectives and men's and putting them together for one overall rating. I want to know what other similar 35 year old men think.. I know that attractive women are over run with opportunities from men on POF. For these girls being the opportunities are a dime a dozen. Their inboxes are overloaded but half of the men are over-exaggerating or fibbing. Buy my own results this site tells me that I don't have the luxury of being selective yet the attractive women can be extremely selective here. Many of these women just enjoy being hit on it gives them re-assurance that they're still attractive.
---FYI,I also don't do worth a crap on this site, check out my profile "Ecological 1" in Indiana, Men or women your critique/advice is welcome reply to my profile I won't think you're gay or hitting on me you either way.

I couldn't agree with you more on the FB. I have been on and off this site for nearly 2 years. It is all the same people. The men truly are in either one of two catagories.... want a FB only or SEX on the FIRST date... if you give in, they find a reason the next day to say it isn't going to work, If you don't, they find a reason it isn't going to work...lol. The other kind of man is a MARRIED man. I can't tell you how many married men I discovered on there..... and I wasn't looking for them. Finally, the men are all shallow. I was always honest in my listing of body type... it cracks me up how many men put they are athletic.... and they are far from it. It is also amazing that no men on there appreciate a woman who isn't shaped like Barbie.
