While your review is harsh, I have to agree and this is coming from a female member of that site. Which the site is totally different for a women than a man but I never understood why men came across as bitter at first but after a lovely male friend joined that site, he showed me all the (un)read/deleted messages and actual messages recieved that rejected him over the smallest things like being a tiny bit under six foot in height or his job being a factory worker.

So yes, pof is fine if you are a female but for the guys out there it can be a horrible experience.

i think the site is designed that way. I'm a 28 year old single male and have recently joined the site. Girls will get 9325890 crappy messages which eventually forces them to be stricter. I will admist I am guilty of sending out crap messages when I was first on testing the waters. I'm not the type to just go cannonballling off of the diving board into the deep end of the pool.

this is basically how I see it plays out on this site:

Legit guy cycle: 1. sends out crap messages >> 2. does research>> 3. refines message>> 4. still gets minimal responses>> 5. leaves site out of frustration>> 6. later comes back repeats steps 1-4>> 7. goes to forum for advice, they advise him to change his profile>> 8.guy changes his profile 60 times until it's no longer resembles him anymore>>9. finally lands a date with a girl, she figures out he's completely different from his profile or a creep then gets pissed> rinse and repeat whole cycle

combine that with scammers/creeps and men out numbering women like 10485 to 1 and that leads to the girls cycle below.

legit girl cycle: 1. Gets blasted with 1024785 crap messages from shy/newbs/creeps/scammer >2. defenses and requirements go up> 3. girl finally finds a guy she think can work out, ends up he's not all like his profile or a scammer/creep> 4. defenses and requirement really go up and adds in "no games or stalker plz thx" >> 5. gets to the point where it's almost impossible for any guy to break through her defenses let alone a shy guy/dating newb.

Also double standards like women can post sexy bikini pictures to attract men on here, but if a guy puts up a shirtless picture they frown upon it..
